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.

I LOVE BOB! One of my favorite professors. He made this class very understandable and if you go to lectures and try you will be fine. The final is pretty difficult but I prepared really well for it so I did good.

This class put me in therapy (wish I was joking). The professor's teaching is good once you get to know the way he teaches and explains, but I wouldn't rely on it you should do outside studying. I found that because GAAP accounting rules are solid it is easy to find good videos explaining what is going on in class if you are lost. USE WILEY!!!

Singlehandedly turned me off accounting. Way too difficult for an introductory level course. In my opinion much more difficult than ECON 10A for pre-majors because of how ill-prepared you are for exams. Might as well give you a coloring book in place of study guide for the final.

While lectures aren't required, they're heavily encouraged. I personally loved Professor Anderson, even though he can come off as a bit mean. He's a great teacher and wants his students to succeed. Just remember to stay on top of Wiley and actually read and watch the online lectures.

Very great professor, makes accounting seem elementary and easy to understand.

This was a horrible experience. His ego has no match. He is not understanding at all and will do all he can to fail you.

Bob structures his classes in a very inefficient way. So inefficient that it would not be worth it to attend lectures, except for the fact that he mentions random facts in lectures that he puts on the midterm and final. With that being said he is fairly knowledgable at accounting, just not at teaching. Good luck if you need to take 3A for a grade.

Bob overall was an amazing professor! The coursework is not extremely difficult, but takes time to go through. Go to lecture, watch the online lectures, and make an effort to understand the content and you will be fine. The midterm/final take up a majority of your grade, but both are based on straightforward content covered in lectures/reading.
