Comment:
Dr. Shoulders is an excellent professor, he will teach you accounting. There is normal HW and tests based on the chapters. The interactive book helps understand the chapters better. He will stay after class to explain things to you or you can catch him during office hours. Overall I think he is one of the best professors I have had at UNC Pembroke.

Worst class set up I've ever had. He expects you to read an entire chapter per week and completely understand it and then perform well on the ridiculously hard exams. Youtube professors are better than him.

Wish he taught more clearly. Nice man but not the best at teaching. Willing to help but still not clear when he did. I struggled in his class but he always blamed me even though I worked hard. I just was not able to learn from him. He does not give good examples and seems to know only the basics from the book. Again, nice man.

Dr. Shoulders bent over backwards to ensure we received the best possible education. Accounting is hard, but he is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you understand the subject. He is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. He was even willing to let us call him on his cell phone on the weekends if we needed help.

Comment:
I felt like this course was made difficult just for the sake of being difficult by Dr. Shoulders. I learned what I needed in the class but I think I could have crammed that same info (which is all you're doing anyway) on my own in about half the time it took him. Requiring pretests ontop of tests regardi the same material is equally as pointless.

Dr shoulder's is a very knowledgeable man but unless you're an accounting major I wouldn't recommend taking him. His classes are very intense and people who are majoring in other things tend to not find the same compassion for his class that he has.

Professor didn't update gradebook ALL semester, had 4 tests worth 80% and a lot of homework in addition to what he assigned in class. Honestly thought I was going to get a C but he gave me a D. Not really sure how the grade was broken down considering I had an A at midterms and there was no gradebook update but I came out with a D...?

unprepared for class, acts as if you're at college taking only his class and not any other one. Pretests were supposed to "help" but if you didn't pass the practice test he automatically failed you on the real test which was worth 80% of our grade. Nice guy to have a conversation with but an absolute train-wreck to work with

Never have I worked harder in a college class than in dr shoulders. His out of class requirements required extensive time management. I got the impression that he thought his class and his assignments had some sort of priority over other classes. would not recommend to anyone who has to take managerial accounting

Man makes you make every test/pretest outside of class on days where you don't have class. He offers no extra credit or any help with borderline grades, if you get a 79 you get a 79 nothing can be done for an 80. This man makes you do more for a 3hr credit course than any professor i've had at uncp for any class. just avoid this man at all costs

for how much work i put into this class just to receive a C i would STRONGLY recommend a different professor. Compared to other accounting professors, I strongly advise against him.

He is a nice and well respected professor. He does give pre-tests outside of class, so be wary of that. His lectures are pretty interesting and he is willing to help with anything you may need outside of class.

Very difficult material that is presented in an effort to help you after you graduate. You will not have fun, but if you pass, you will know your stuff.

The worst professor ever. Never prepared for class. Not coherent in presentation. Requires too much out of class time for tests.
