Good teacher, but not super easy. Will expect you to read the text before class. Also expects you to know GAAP and IFRS.

For all of you that are freaking out about taking bob for 321, don't worry your prayers have been answered.He is no longer teaching it, however this is still and extremly hard class. Don't overload yourself and think that you are a superstar and handle more than 12 units total for the semster.This is a hard class and time consuming for sure.no joke

incredible teacher, knows the subject extremely well. it IS mandatory to put in effort, but it is worth it. the class indirecly teaches you about WORK ETHIC. students these days dont have much of that kind of ethic anymore. bob and will are both amazing professors.

Comment:
Just wanted to comment on the commenter below. This class from previous semesters of FOUR different subjects into only TWO - Financial Accounting and Tax. Notes and calculators aren't allowed for the exams, but it's ok since the material requried to remember! Just put in the TIME and PRACTICE - you'll pass! This class is VERY time consuming!!

Comment:
Acct 321 is Intermed Acct and Federal Tax. CS Fullerton teaches this as 2 Inter Acct courses and 1 Fed Tax course. So actually this is a 9 unit course. There are no answers provided to problems. Classes is harder than it needs to be because you can't check your answers unless you want to wait to see a GA during GA's hours.

Comment:
Bob is a great professor, but he takes accounting very seriously. He is willing to help but make sure you come to class prepared because his portion of the exam is very tricky. Over and Under is a pain so watch out for it. Good luck in 321 because it is the most time consuming class.

Difficult, but do-able. Learn to read quickly & effectively. He's not kidding when he says 30hrs/week outside of class. Bob is an EXCELLENT instructor. He expects u 2 work & can get frustrated w/lazy students. He really cares & is happy to help. Material is mostly not difficult, but the pace kills u. keep up/welcome to the business world!

THE HARDEST class ever. 2-4 chapters of reading a week. TONS of group work. Nearly impossible exams. This class requires alot of work and dedication. You must be on top of the game in order to get by.

SUPER hard class. if you miss one class, it's hard to catch up. pay attention during class & take really good class notes. you can use 2 pgs front & back as a cheat sheet on tests, so TAKE REALLY GOOD CLASS NOTES. this will help you get a decent grade. avg on exams are 53/100. with the curve that's a C. though it's tough, don't quit! you can do it!

IDK if the class was hard, or it was just Bob. Pop Quizzes on the assigned readings. Tests are extremely difficult. DO NOT miss class, you will regret it- trust me. Put your all in this class and you'll manage decent grade. Say goodbye to parties and weekends and hello to all-nighters. This class is not a joke. Work hard. Work very hard. Good Luck

This is not an easy class by any standards. It is extremely time consuming. The concepts are very complicated and there are so many topics to cover. However, take very very very good notes in class. I felt that my class notes saved me. DO NOT MISS CLASS. Bob doesn't care who died, you better be there. Barely got by with a C and I love accounting!!

Has got to be the biggest jerk i've met in academia. He was yelling at people the first day, even this Chinese girl who could barely speak English and wanted to sit-in. Surprisingly, we never saw her again. Even from Day 1 people were commenting on Bob's "people skills." Ever miss class, expect a nice note of "concern" in your inbox the next day.

I hate all those students that kiss teacher's butts. I was always on time. I never missed class. I always studied and ended with an A-. It was a really hard class, but Bob was a real jerk to me and also to random people (regardless on how smart and good student you were unless you were a butt kisser)As a teacher he was ok, but not great either :(

Not an easy class. There's a lot of reading, 3 chapters per class or so. However, the class will take over your life, if you don't let it, you will fail. I know several people that failed because they underestimated the exams and never read. So READ and manage your time in exams! Bob is a nice guy with a bad rep. DONT BE LATE, EVER.

Make sure this is really what you want to major in before you start this class. It will take over your life, be prepared to read 4-6 chapters a class, TONS of OUTSIDE group homework and individual hmwk. Dont take many other classes with this one, you wont have time for them... I never studied more in my life, and only passed with a C!

Go to every class, turn in every assignment on time, start the SUA early, read (or at least skim) all (or most) of the daily readings, type up your hand-written notes after every class, work on your exam notes after every class, and start studying for exams at least a week ahead. Hard class, lots of work. Just do it but don't make excuses to Bob.

if you need to take this class, dont be too discouraged by the previous comments. This class is definately hard but you get used to it as the semester progresses. You do need to put in a lot of time but you will gain a lot of accounting knowledge in doing so. bob and will and both good teachers. its not that bad!
