Comment:
Professor Flynn knows what he is talking about, but he goes too fast over the material. He also only shows 1 or 2 practice problems, and then puts difficult questions on the exam. Taking this class online is stressful because he will randomly call on you and make you feel like and idiot for something you are just learning about. Very difficult.

Comment:
I didn't like how he pressured participation. If you go to class and take the notes and follow the practice problems, things make sense. But you do two tax returns and he doesn't at all teach you how what you're learning applies, you just 'read the IRS instructions'. The practice problems also don't help fully with tests, unfamiliar wording/format.

Comment:
I honestly dont know how he is a professor. If you ask for help and you arent doing well in his class, he wont help. I went to his office hours and all I got was try harder and maybe youll pass. I spent hours upon hours for his class. Dont bother with studying the homework problems for exams. Find CPA exam questions instead to prepare.

Comment:
Dr. Flynn is an excellent professor. Hard classes but very possible to get a good grade. He challenges students to learn, and prepares them for the real world. My advice for doing well in his tax classes - Don't be afraid of asking questions. Embrace the challenge of tax. I've seen too many people in his classes fail due to fear of looking dumb.

Comment:
Flynn gets a bad rep from his difficult tax 1 class but non profit is way different! it is not easy by any means but very manageable. Expects you to read the text and do the homework before class. Flynn isn't easy but he wants everyone to learn and do well after school, not just pass the class. Do the work and study and you will be fine.

Comment:
Flynn is a different professor when he teaches Not-For-Profit. He is very clear and srtaightforward, but he does pick on people for not doing the reading or homework. For ACC407, he doesn't post the homework answers online, so you need to come to is office or, better yet, class to get the solution.

Comment:
Dr. Flynn is a great professor. I have learned more in his tax classes than I have in any of my other courses at WCU. If you want to do well, prioritize it put in the work. The students who have negative things to say are generally the students who don't put the work in. Go to class, do your homework and study. It's easy to receive an A doing that

Comment:
Dr. Flynn is a great professor and structures his class to prepare you to be competitive in the real world. If you have any interest in the tax field, this class will help you determine if that interest is legitimate. To pass this class you must put the time in. The exams are tough. Complete the CPA review questions at the end of each chapter!

Comment:
Some people will say "You're taking tax with him? Get ready to dedicate your entire semester to tax." They're not wrong. Teaches the material quickly with little room for questions. Tests are impossible to pass without extra credit. Need to put a few hours a day into it. To anyone taking the class, prioritize this over everything else in life.

Comment:
Dr. Flynn's class is very challenging, but you do some serious learning! He can be sarcastic and standoffish, but if you show up, participate, and respond positively to him, Dr. Flynn isn't so bad. Do the problems and review the lectures for at least a week or two before the tests. Look online for IRS instructions for the tax returns!

Flynn is a ball buster if you do not put the work in but if you do what is expected of you. You earn the grade you deserve. It is a tough course and Flynn doesnt cut much slack but I learned more in that class than any class ever. & I would take him again. Its not as bad as everyone says.

Comment:
Flynn has a reputation for being a difficult professor, mostly due to the material. He can be hard on students that aren't prepared for class, but he is an excellent teacher if you put the work in. When preparing for exams, study the material as if it isn't an open book test. If you put in some time to study, the course is very manageable.

This class has a reputation as being the hardest class in the accounting department at West Chester, and it lived up to it's reputation tax is just a hard topic anyway but he won't make it any easier. He will make you learn and the tests are open book, but the assignments are very difficult. He will make you feel like an idiot if you ask question

Tax I was easily the hardest class I've ever taken, but it's also the class I learned the most as an accounting major. Read and do problems before class, go to class, and redo problems as many times as you can before exams to drill the concepts into your head. Spend majority of exam time on the MC because they can really hurt you if a lot are wrong

Don't take this guy by any means. If you ask a question, he'll make you feel stupid, goes through material very quickly and doesn't explain things if you get it wrong. Pretty much had to get a tutor and teach myself all of Tax I

Greatest bang for your buck in terms of not only knowledge but how you go about learning itself. The class is not subject to grade inflation like some others, therefore you are going to need to work hard for your grade. It may not seem apparent at times, but he cares about his students and is preparing you for your career. No sloppy work!

This class is difficult but you will learn a lot for your degree. Flynn can be rough but it's the best money I've spent to actually learn. Study his lecture notes, get to know a classmate well and work on tax assignments early. Homework adds extra points to exams. Withdraw on the last day and retake it for an easier time if you can.

Don't believe the rumors, Dr. Flynn is one of the best professors I have ever had. The material, in general, is tough so it is a class that you have to work for in order to get the grade you desire. But, if you are actually interested in learning Tax, Prof. Flynn is the professor to take.
