I am completely shocked at all the negative comments about this prof. He is great, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. He cares about his students and is always willing to talk after class. his class is also easy... i just really don't understand all this hate.

Good prof, interesting (mainly because of material and entertaining personality in an old guy sort of way), horrible grammar, unorganized and unprofessional course notes, but not a big deal

Comment:
Very unclear on what he is teaching in class. Has a bad attitude towards students. His courseware lecture notes have lots of errors. You don't know where you stand academically in class because he doesn't have a proper marking scheme. No midterm, therefore very difficult to judge what will be on the final exam.

Comment:
Prof. Carter is friendly and jovial. Unfortunately, he seemingly has no marking scheme for essays (a roll of the dice is a reasonable analogy), he's only helpful until you miss a class, his tests are extremely difficult, and he seems to develop an opinion and attitude towards students based on his own assumptions and conjecture. Poor Overall.

If you hate students, dont want to mark fairly or answer questions- why did you become a professor? Learn to proof read your exams buddy.

His lectures are clear and concise. However, has an attitude problem and tests are ridiculously hard with mistakes. A bit more leniant to girls.

Comment:
Carter is great, one of the best teachers I had in my 5 years here. The negative posts are clearly from non-accounting students who are not used to the rigours of the accounting program. Technically, he's retired, so if you can get him, you're lucky

worst prof at UW. doesn't want to teach, doesn't care about students. If he continues to be a prof he should learn some teaching strategies.

Bad notes, writing on the board is really small, sometimes unclear. Go for help during office hours, he explains well one on one. SUCKS if you haven't taken accouting before - prepare to read the whole book

Hard Marker, it's all or nothing! He's a good prof but seems to think he's better than he really is. Knows what he's talking about and will help you if you ask but he's challenging!
