Amazing professor. Had him years ago when he first started teaching at the U of S. So glad to read he is still teaching and inspiring students and future CAs (CPAs). Attend all his lectures and learn as much as you can from him.

Best prof I've ever had and probably will ever have. If you can't learn accounting from him, you can't learn it from anyone.

Fred is so far my favourite prof. He has class notes that go with his lectures, and he explains examples so that you understand. It is a harder class, but if you put in the work and do the questions he recommends, you will be fine. He is very approachable and easy-going, he made coming to class fun rather than a tedious chore. Would take again.

I loved Freds class! He explains the content very well and does several examples in class. If you go to his lectures and do the practice questions that he recommends in the textbook, this class is not hard at all.

Fred is a great prof. Probably the greatest prof in Edwards. He really cares about what he is teaching, and cares about how his students perform, unlike a lot of profs who are just there for the pay check. One thing, is Fred has tests that are quite difficult. Particularly the midterm. It was way to long for the time given. But great otherwise!

Easily one of the best professors at Usask. The amount of time he dedicates to this course and the students taking it is astounding and very commendable. The course is challenging but in the best possible way, and with the best possible professor at the helm.

Great teacher! Fred may be the clearest and fairest professors I have ever had. Class really isn't as much work as it's made out to be, put in a couple hours a week and do the assigned questions and the class should be a breeze.

Fred is the best prof in Edwards hands down. He truly cares about each and every one of his students which is rare for university. His lectures are amazing and his knowledge of accounting is incredible. I won't lie this is a tough course which requires a lot of work but take it with Fred, he breaks down every concept to make sure you understand it.

Fred is the best prof in Edwards. I won't lie this is a tough class with lots of work but if you go to class, do your assignments and ask questions you'll be fine. Fred puts so much effort into slides and stresses to come see him during office hours. Fred makes exams very clear to the class, he outlines similar questions to study prior to exams.

Fred is one of the greats. He truly cares about the success of his students and you can tell with of the planning he does. Attending his lectures is absolutely necessary to success. Lectures both interactive and he goes through every example (some are even on tests). Do the homework, he posts answers to it! Tests are no surprise but time yourself.

He is an exceptional prof! You must put in the work for your grade and keep up on the material from day one. Take advantage of Fred's office hours if you ever need help on a concept. He is very helpful and genuinely cares about your success! He is very organized and is a true teacher. I would love to take another class from him!

Be prepared to spend all your time doing long online assignments. The tests were ridiculously long for the time given and no information on the types of questions were given. This was the worst class I've taken in three years, it made me have panic attacks. The final marks were also posted after the next semester had started already.

Fred is truly an amazing professor. This course is definitely difficult, and there is a ton of coursework. However, Fred is very passionate about what he teaches and really knows what he's talking about. First true "teacher" I've had in university. Take this man's class!

There are a few questions for extra credit, but those mark doesn't help the grade that much. He gave the students so many pressure and didn't show specific criteria for exam. He expected you to memorize the whole textbook

One of the best profs I've had at Edwards. Really good at explaining concepts in class, and makes an effort to get to know all the students. Lots of online quizzes and reading but it helps you stay on top of the material. Gives you a few opportunities for extra credit if you need it too.

Fred is an awesome professor, you can tell he really cares about the students and does so much to try to learn everyone's names! I can't say enough good things about this guy but the one knock on him is he is a tough marker and isn't going to give you much (if any) benefit of the doubt on iffy answers on tests, but overall I would recommend him
