Professor Dinan is one of the best professors I had so far. He explains the material really well, gives a lot of practice problems and goes over common mistakes that students make. He also relates information from his professional life what makes the class very enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend!ACCT2301 2018-02-08 17:04:06 +0000 UTC
Online class - had technical issues, but given that Professor Dinan lectures all over the place, it's hard to follow and doesn't explain content nor answer questions well.ACCT6200 2018-01-19 00:29:55 +0000 UTC
Fantastic person, funny, smart, good teacher. You'll have an A... all the way up to the finalACCT2201 2016-12-19 17:01:24 +0000 UTC
Prof Dinan is pretty great at teaching, just go to class and participate as much as you can, as long as you do the connect assignments and pay attention in class, getting an A won't be hard. He covers all the material in class and also gives many hints, if you're not good at financial accounting, take his class, you won't regret itACCT1201 2016-06-29 08:34:23 +0000 UTC
It was the class forced to be taken but with this professor, I was even thinking adding this concentration. Funny and easy keeps us engage. Love to ask questions. Always thinking the question from our standing point, grades specifically. Currently the best professor that I have ever met in NEU. Recommending this prof to everyone around me.1102 2015-09-10 15:34:36 +0000 UTC
This will be the greatest professor you will ever have. Ever. His teaching style makes you interested in the boring materials, he's always there to hear you out and give advice, and he's simply hilarious.ACC2251 2015-08-18 15:53:13 +0000 UTC
Dinan is great! I preferred financial accounting to this managerial acct class but he helps a lot and is funny. Doesn't take anything to serious and definitely an interesting guy with a lot of industry experience. Be prepared to study for exams, its not necessarily an easy A class if your not a big acct fan.. ;)ACCT 2014-10-09 14:21:10 +0000 UTC
He likes to talk about himself alot, but he's very nice and laid back. RecommendedACCT101 2011-11-30 22:05:52 +0000 UTC

He's one of the best Northeastern has to offer for Accounting. He goes through material super fast and at times it's hard to keep up, but he cares about his classes and makes them light-hearted and as fun as an accounting class can be. A lot of group time during class to work on problems, fairly minimal lecture.ACCT2301 2016-11-17 12:13:58 +0000 UTC
Good guy. Understands that class is not the most important thing in life....ACCT6200 2012-02-24 14:29:14 +0000 UTC
So hard and not helpful at all if you dont understandACCT2201 2014-03-18 22:29:21 +0000 UTC
he is very easy going, and makes the class easy to follow by only focusing in important facts and going through hard problems in class (similar to the ones you will find in the exam). He is a very nice guy. take this professor if you are taking any accounting courseACCT1201 2015-05-11 12:50:30 +0000 UTC
The best professor ever, he goes right to the point and teach relevant info you need for the real world.ACC2251 2013-06-22 11:21:54 +0000 UTC
Dinan is a man among boys, and a God among men. I had the pleasure of taking his Financial + Managerial accounting courses. The subject matter isn't always riveting but Dinan will add interesting anecdotes while he saunters though it. 3 tips: When you do something, do it right, you can never overdress and you'll woln't regret taking Dinan's classACCT 2013-08-13 20:49:58 +0000 UTC
