Great professors, makes challenging tests with fair curves and as long as you know what's going on an A is extremely feasible.ACCT1201 2022-04-27 18:05:58 +0000 UTC
He's a great man! I took him summer 2019 and he was really there for me when I had issues in the class. He cared about my mental health and did all he could towards my success. An amazing professor!ACCT3401 2021-03-23 16:51:18 +0000 UTC
This man wants everyone to get an A and is there to help you get one. Awesome teacher, makes a boring topic interesting, and is an overall great man.ACCT12O1 2017-05-07 12:03:40 +0000 UTC
He was very accessible outside of class and willing to help you! He was also good at emphasizing concepts to remember for quizzes or tests and mistakes to not make. You can tell he really cares about students and curves exams heavily. A great teacher for accounting!ACCT1201 2022-04-26 00:24:50 +0000 UTC
He's one of my favorite teachers in Northeastern. Listen in class, study the handouts, homework, and slides and you're good to go. Very caring and able to help outside office hours. You don't really need the textbook.ACCT3401 2019-06-25 16:04:02 +0000 UTC
overall a challenging course but he is a good professor, but doesn't post completed slides (we fill them out in class) or handout answer keys which is annoying. homework will take you up to five hours to finish weekly. answer questions during tests, curve is greate(you need it)ACCT1201 2022-04-22 21:03:07 +0000 UTC
Always willing to help students during office hours or by appointment. He wants his students to do well and he will give you every opportunity to succeed as long as you are trying. Good lecture material and use of practice problems in class. The case study was super fun! Definitely one of my favorite teachers.ACCT3401 2019-06-21 22:55:03 +0000 UTC
I have greatly enjoyed this class, this semester and I manly owe it to Prof. Fitzgerald. You can tell he really wants you to learn. Very helpful in and outside of class. Lastly, he was able to do something I thought impossible: make accounting interesting. I highly recommend anything to take pick this prof.ACCT1201 2022-04-22 02:04:20 +0000 UTC
He's a great teacher, I would hard recommend him for ACCT1201. Also don't be afraid to ask him questions during the test, he's VERY helpful when you have a question or two.ACCT1201 2022-03-01 15:10:15 +0000 UTC
Professor Fitzgerald is an amazing professor and person. He was always willing to help with any and all doubts, and genuinely cared about everyone in the class. Although accounting can be fairly boring, he tried his best to make it interesting by showing us real life examples.ACCT1201 2022-01-06 10:03:05 +0000 UTC
Amazing. helpful & encouraging. Sincerely wants students to succeed and is very helpful in office hours. You will have to put in effort but he will help you in every way he can. Would 110% recommend- especially if you're not naturally good at accounting or was kind of afraid of accounting like I was.ACCT1201 2018-11-14 20:09:49 +0000 UTC
Accounting is a challenging course as a whole so I believe Brian Fitzgerald is one of the best professors for it. He is very patient with students, but you have to do your part as well to understand the topics. If you go to his lectures you do not have to read the book to understand.ACCT1201 2017-04-18 20:31:15 +0000 UTC
This man is a legend. If you know what's good for you... take this class.ACCT1201 2017-04-15 10:35:39 +0000 UTC
He is a very good professor, he would like to help everyone. His class is clearly and logistics, he would give many examples in the class help to understand. The exams are from the examples and hw. Only one final paper for group.ACCT1201 2017-04-12 09:12:06 +0000 UTC
He is really hard working teacher, and really willing to help. But his class is dull, he only uses simple examples and example to teach. His homework is difficult, but definitely help. Sometimes the test is beyond the ppt, so you kinda need to study by yourself. Take this class if you have acct base, or it will be gpa willer. BTW final is 30%.ACCT1201 2017-04-09 23:34:01 +0000 UTC
