Great teacher, well-respected and cares about his students. Accessible outside of class for office hours and by arrangement. Really awesome teacher and would recommend him.ACCT4414 2019-04-23 05:22:20 +0000 UTC
Professor Ginsberg is a great guy who genuinely cares about his students. Although class material can be difficult, he tries his best to explain through in class practice problems. Homework and case studies can be tough but he gives good feedback. class can get boring, but he makes funny jokesACCT2301 2017-12-06 14:06:59 +0000 UTC
Ginsberg is a hard professor, and be ready to work if you take this class. However, he is such a friendly guy and is always willing to help students reach their full potential. Attend his review sessions that he holds before the final exam, they can mean the difference between a passing grade and a failing grade.ACCT1201 2017-05-08 12:30:17 +0000 UTC
Professor Ginsberg was one of the nicest professors I've ever had. He genuinely cared about his students (if you actually put effort into the course). That being said, his lectures were incomprehensible. He's such an expert in the field that he can't dumb down the material for students who have no prior knowledge in accounting.ACT1209 2015-05-27 09:51:44 +0000 UTC
Professor Ginsberg is very concerned that his students understand the concepts, sometimes more than how well they do on tests. A bit old school. Fast talker and might be hard to follow during lectures. Really nice guy and always willing to answer your questions.ACCT1209 2014-12-05 12:28:29 +0000 UTC
I overall really liked this class and the professor! The lectures were helpful but it is really easy to tune out. I did a lot of studying on my own outside of class but that's just what you have to do in this course. He taught review sessions prior to the exam and brought chocolates. Overall he is a fair grader and such a nice guy!ACCT1201 2017-05-08 12:22:44 +0000 UTC
He is pretty nice once you get to know him. Go to his office hours, it will help so much. Participation is very important in his class.ACCT1201 2017-03-23 01:15:45 +0000 UTC
