Easily one of the best professors I have had in college. Teaches by example which is really helpful. The class pack he has is used well and corrects home works easily. I hated accounting before and now I am thinking about taking it as a minor!ACCT2202 2011-04-21 16:16:19 +0000 UTC
Great teacher! He has a lot of experience and is not shy to share it with the class. He is a tough grader on his case studies, which lowered my grade in the class.ACCT2301 2010-08-04 13:03:52 +0000 UTC
Great teacher and is an expert at the material. Exams are challenging and a tough grader on his case studies. Loves to talk about his family.AACT301 2010-04-05 00:07:53 +0000 UTC
This is my favorite professor at Northeastern. He is such a great guy, so down to Earth, and an excellent teacher. It feels like what we're doing is so simple because of how he teaches it and then you look back and realize how much you've actually learned. He genuinely cares about his students and creates relationships with them that will last.FINA2201 2009-11-13 19:51:45 +0000 UTC
Oh brunsie... hillarious guy. Kept the class interesting, but he's a little out of touch. A lottt of people had trouble with this class, and it's very basic accounting material. His style is basically to write something on the board and expect everyone to instantly know what it means, where it comes from, etc. Great guy... iffy teacher.ACCU201 2009-05-11 00:09:02 +0000 UTC
Excellent professor, teaches well and genuinely cares about students. He beats the material into your head with hundreds of class exercises.ACCU301 2008-04-29 13:28:45 +0000 UTC
Extremely nice and easy going teacher, but teaches material horribly. Must take this course after financial accounting to have basic concepts fresh in mind, unlike what I did. Goes over how to do something then gives examples completely different in class. Final exam is for entire course so the way he explains things different from other teachers.ACC301 2008-04-29 11:11:53 +0000 UTC

I am currently a middler and this is definitely one of the best professors I've had so far. Makes material easy to understand yet helpful when you dont understand. Cares for students. Funny and interesting to listen too. Super organized. Wont regret it. Take him if you can.ACCT2301 2010-03-31 18:04:24 +0000 UTC
This man is a fantastic teacher. He's been around a while, but he uses his experience and his case studies to help you understand the material. He's not uptight at all, and, though his exams arent the easiest in the world, they are doable if you listen to him. GROUP QUIZZES! Yes thats right... all the quizzes are group quizzes.ACCU201 2008-04-20 22:32:52 +0000 UTC
