ECON136A . Anderson R W 18 Years Ago

Do all of the old tests, he recycles a lot of questions. He doesn't deviate from it very far, except during the first exam. First exam is hard but after that, it's okay. Do the honors section if you have time, you'll learn a lot of "real-world" advice from him. Do well in the homework, don't write it off, it may make a +/- difference.

This class involves a lot of memorizing of rules and procedures. Overall an ok professor. I liked him better for 136A. This class is probably one of the more boring of the accounting classes.

ECON132 . Anderson R W 18 Years Ago

Class is a waste, half the time he talks about what he did at KPMG or what he does at RAFS. Tests are hard but should not be because not tha many concepts. questions are either straight memorization or very vague application CPA style questions. Says he does it to help prep for CPA but you wont walk out of class prepared for the auditing section.

136A . Anderson R W 18 Years Ago

This class is cake if you go to class, study old tests, and do the work you're assigned to do. Bob always gave good examples and showed us step by step how to do each problem that would be on the tests, not to mention what would be on the tests. How much easier can it get? There's also nothing wrong with professors sharing notes, many do.

Somewhat of a has-been who really can't teach to save his life. Would rather reminisce about when he was a supposedly studly surfer. His graphs and handwriting are extremely sloppy and unclear, and his only study materials are HARMON'S slides. Are you kidding me? Take with Harmon if possible, you'll learn a lot more than with this "dude."

A horrible teacher and suprised that he is able to be a teacher in UCSB! Doesn't know how to teach, use Professor Harmon's slides as his teaching materials. Does not do his job well at all.

Cool Proff. Had better, but he's pretty cool for an econ teacher. The most boring ass class ever though

This class was not hard. The final was a bit long with time constraint. But after all there was a generous curve. I think Bob did a great job in econ 132. I think we all need to appreciate the fact that he tried to make the class somewhat entertaining while still tailoring it to prepare us for the CPA exam. Great prof. with real world experience.

Great Class with an awesome Professor. All the idiots who are saying he didn't tell you what to memorize need to figure it out. He did a great job incorporating real world experience in with the material and really focused on preparing us for the CPA exam. Material was pretty boring but if you went to lecture it made a lot of sense.

There was alot of material to know, and he gave very little guidance as to what we needed to study. He did not do a good job in 132.

132 . Anderson R W 18 Years Ago

I had himfor 136A and this class is much more difficult. He says he wants to prepare us for the CPA exam and I think he did that. He knows a LOT about audit and brings a lot of real-world into the class. Not an easy class, but I think it is worth it to learn for the CPA exam.

I don't know whether summer does give an excuse, but Anderson is not being resposible for the class. There are tons of stuff to memorize. Anderson always skips all the slides, and I don't know which I need to study and which I don't. He said the final is not cummulative, but I can find stuff that are from the previous exam in the final.

3A . Anderson R W 18 Years Ago

A true proessor...probably one of the few that challenge me. Students don't realize that he actually goes beyond teaching and tries to prepare you for the real world. 10 years later i still remember when he told me " you will earn your grade"

ECON3A . Anderson R W 19 Years Ago

He is a very straight forward guy and tells you what he expects. Class is kind of boring but that's the material. He can be very random and tell weird jokes and stories. He has a lot of outside experience about accounting. I liked his class and the midterm and final are easier than Harmon's.Quizes are not bad if you read the chapter before.Cool guy

Easy class if you do the work and read. Classes can be boring, but he's been through the system before and he tries to help students through it as best he can. Overall pretty good teacher.

ECON136A . Anderson R W 19 Years Ago

Anderson is a great professor. He is very clear in presenting the material and VERY straight forward on the tests. His tests are 50% MC and 50% problems. He pretty much tells you what the problems are throughout lecture. MC is easy if u read the chapters enough times. Would definatly recommend!

ECON136A . Anderson R W 19 Years Ago

Best professor i've taken at UCSB. Down to earth. Rides a long board to class. Tests are 50/50 multi choice/workout problems. MC is harder than problems if you prepare. Very fair. Funny stories and makes Acctg interesting. I would even suggest taking his Hnrs section even if your not in hnrs.
