He gives old tests with mcqs that have NOTHING to do with the final so you basically go into the midterm and final blind (aside from final frqs) I attended every lecture and it didn't do much help he just rambles instead of answering questions directly, making it more confusing. Make sure to do good on hw and quizzes and go to section

GO TO CLASS!!! yes he rambles sometimes but something that may seem unimportant can appear on a test. For the final, I honestly did not study too much (like 5-6ish hours the night before) and aced it, so my biggest recommendation if you want to do well is to simply to GO TO LECTURE. I also recommend scimming over the textbook.

Bob is the best professor I've had at UCSB so far. He genuinely cares for his students and often goes on tangents about important things for college students to know that are not often taught (investing advice, etc.). He wants his students to do well professionally and has structured his course in that way. Tests can be difficult, study hard.

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE! Bob's class tanked my GPA and I put an insane amount of time into studying for the final. He rambles about random (boring) things during lecture and his final is excruciatingly hard. Literally hate this man.

I hate this man, nothing he mentioned in class is related to the exam, and his exam is extremely hard and you have no idea how to prepare it. Especially the MCQ questions.

Recommend this class to everyone in the economics department! Yes you have to put a lot of time in if you want a high grade but so worth it. Bob makes the lectures as engaging as accounting can be and is really focused on the significance of learning the accounting language. Utilize your TAs to help learn the material.

This course is fast-paced, with weekly chapter readings, two timed quizzes, and homework totaling four assignments weekly. While the professor is knowledgeable, they lack compassion and appear egotistical, making them unapproachable. As a minority student, I felt targeted, especially when they assumed my background and spoke mockingly in Spanish.

I just want to say that this bald man ruined my happiness for an entire quarter. Now my friend, the bear, is also taking the class and he is also failing. Why bob why! Please stop.

He's a decent professor but those quizzes and midterm so far seem unnecessarily difficult and confusing.

An intro accounting is not an easy class to teach, but Bob helped me learn so much! I walked in with no accounting knowledge and now feel knowledgeable in the fundamental accounting topics! Sharing his experiences helped me understand what working in accounting is like, and I'm grateful for that. Put in the work, and you will appreciate the class!

Very time consuming class, but if you put the work in, you will succeed! Watch ALL lecture videos and go to in person lectures. A lot of test questions are stuff he says in both of these. The TA's were very helpful whenever I was confused on a topic. This is a class you can't cram for, so don't wait till the last minute to start studying.

Paid tuition to hear him yap 9.30 in the morning. Tests questions (MCQ specifically) have no ways to prepare. If he can lecture more instead of sharing his insights/thoughts in class it would be better. I do like his recording lectures as it prepares students for other accounting courses down the road. He goes off tangent when answering questions.
