Comment:
He understand this subject is difficult and will help out of class via email or in his office. 3 exams (gives you an oral study guide), 6 quizzes, and 5 projects. The class was very difficult for me, but he is a generous grader as he wants you to understand concepts and not minute details. The textbook is useless, just take notes in class.

Comment:
Teaching style seemed very unfocused mostly spent time answering questions redoing main problem from chapter and showing solution manual tends to be very vague. Pop quizzes and projects that have unclear due dates and instructions that are often changed drastically in class despite using same material every semester. Vague tests

Awesome prof! Very helpful, really wants students to do well and understand. More concerned with students understanding concepts rather than every detail. Really nice guy and explains material well.

Comment:
He is great! Take him! He explains topics very clearly. I didn't even realize this course was difficult until talking to students in other sections. 3 tests, best 5/6 quizzes, 2 "projects" that were basically free points.Often gave info for next class in case students won't be there.

Wayne provided enough instruction to understand the concepts without getting too caught up on details. He handled questions well, and class projects were VERY helpful in learning the concepts. Most people in my class got As.

Fantastic professor! He really will help you to understand the accounting and cares if you do well. The multiple choice on his tests are a little difficult, but the problems are just like the ones done in class. If you ask him questions during a test he'll help a LOT!

He made the subject very easy to understand, even for someone with vitually no accounting experience. His class was not very time consuming so it is a good class to take with a more work intensive class.

Comment:
He doesn't really "lecture" in the traditional sense of the word, he simply goes over some problems and asks if there are questions. Generally if you do the homework and read the chapters you'll be fine. He's very helpful outside of class, but overall doesn't give much additional clarification of the material in the classroom.

Smith was not a very friendly guy outside of the classroom, and did not seem to care whether you were trying hard or not. Try to avoid if possible, he could be much worse, but I have had much better!

Accounting is boring enough by itself, but this guy makes it so much worse. Speaks in a dull monotone. Nearly put me to sleep every class. I did not like accounting going in, now I hate it.
