Comment:
I hate accounting with a passion, but I somehow managed to get a C in this class. It's not a grade to be proud of, but I thought I would get something like a D-. Do well on the quizzes and get 100% on the homework. THEY WILL HELP. I also recommend going to Tracy (TA) for help. She is a sweetheart.

Comment:
Ok well... this professor isn't very good at teaching accounting first of all. I received a B in this course but not from attending his lectures. Those are worthless; plan to go to A+ review. I learned accounting from just reading the textbook, which I suggest you do if you end up in this class. His clarity of teaching is what makes it so difficult

He's not bad, it's just that if you don't keep the quizzes that HE LETS YOU KEEP, you have nothing to study off of. You won't sink like a stone, you'll beat the rock to the bottom of the ocean. Be smart and do the hw

Prof. Toole is a sweet guy willing to help. Acct will always suck with any prof. this is just one of those FEW classes you actually have to put in a little effort for. do the HW easy pts&it helps. Study the formulas and know the general concepts (they're easier to BS).Tests are MC and one written problem. I SUCK at acct and got a b+!

Comment:
This is the worst accounting teacher ever. I learned nothing, the only stuff I did well on was from accounting 201. He only reads from the slides, and he does half of the HW for you. Only at the end of the semester did he make it so everyone could learn, by switching the answers on the HW manager. Take someone else if you want to learn this subject

Comment:
This guy needs to retire. He just clicks through powerpoints and expects you to know what he's talking about. He's SSSOO boring! A plus review helped me pass this class with an A, so it's possible but hard. Even the guys from A plus review said that Toole is the hardest acct teacher you can take. He kept bragging about how easy Anderson was.

This class is very hard. Tool does know his stuff but he is terrible at explaining it. Make sure to study on your own and to complete ALL the online homework, this will save your grade at the end of the semester. You will feel like you won't pass, but don't worry if you have done ok on the quizes and completed the homework you should be fine.

Powerpoint lectures and online homework. The lectures are not that great, but if you like A+ based classes this is the one for you. His quizzes are a little tough though. I think he's the lesser of 2 evils IMO.

Professor Toole is very responsible for what he is teaching. You can learn a lot in his class. I should admit the quizzes in class is sometimes difficult. However, they can help you to catch up with the teacher's pace and help you learn more clearly about accounting concepts. The grade of the course is very fair.I never regret that I chose Dr.Toole

THIS PROFESSOR IT HORRIBLE! AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS! Class consists of 2 midterms and a cumulative final. He does not teach all he does is read off of the book produced powerpoints. He does let you do corrections of your midterms but those still dont end up helping that much! OVERALL DO NOT TAKE HIM! I hear Anderson is a better prof take him.

He is a really bad teacher. Everyone in the class is upset with him and he acts like it is our fault. He blames his poor teaching abilities on his students. DO NOT TAKE.

Really a tough class! Need to know the underlying principles well to apply them to problems. My friend and I did very well by seeing A. Tutor regularly. Suggest you do the same.

He uses those stupid powerpoints from the book which are useless for the test. His tests are hard, but he lets you make them up. I studied the most in this class and it was my lowest grade.

The professor was responsive and helpful. The culminating experience is not setup well for the full time worker, part time student. By nature of the assignment, much work must be completed during the day during the week.

Not an easy class but its not impossible. It does require a fair amount of studying but if you are motivated is is not hard. Read the chapters, go to class, take notes, and just use common sense. He tries to trick you on some questions, read carefully. I got an A- and showed up hungover every day.

Hard to be very enthusiastic about accounting unless that's your thing, but this professor has been teaching it for many years and still loves it. You can tell.That's so admirable. Read the chapters. Do the homework.I think Dr. Toole does everything he can do to explain some very difficult concepts.

Students who enjoyed his class, great, but he is the worst teacher I've ever had. He's so hard and he goes way to fast. Yes you can do the work and read the book, which is what I did and still failed. He expects too much ann isn't a very visual or sensitive teacher.
