Comment:
He tries to make things as easy/clear as possible. There are PE points for going to class, but he drops 2 lowest. Drops lowest hw. Drops 2 lowest quiz scores (which are DIFFICULT!) All you need to do is STUDY the old quizzes & group exercises and getting a B shouldn't be that difficult. There is a generous curve. This class wasn't too bad.

Comment:
Gary is a very clear, organized, and helpful guy. Accounting, to begin with, is a difficult subject. I think he did a pretty good job in being clear. What I didn't like was the small sections because the T.A.s are absolutely useless and my specific T.A. was disrespectful would bluntly tell me he could not help.

Big lecture, boring, not clear and he is not helpful at all. TA's don't do a very good job at explaining either. TESTS AND QUIZZES harrrdddd! Passed the class getting 78% 37% and 42% on midterms and the final. Do all the homework, it helps your grade! GOODLUCK!

Worst professor hands down I have has at SDSU. Does not care at all about his students and is not helpful at all if you ask questions. TA's are pretty useless too. Didn't learn anything in this class. Failed every test and still passed the class...... AVOID THIS PROFESSOR

Professor Grudnitski is a good professor.Acct201 is not the toughest class.Yes it does require to do some work,however it's really manageable.Read/skim over the chapter before the lecture.He does explain things well if you seat upfrontand listen.Do all the homework in time.I didn't like how the quizzes were given but they are only 5%.Normal class!

Hard class, and a huge curve (58% was the cut off for a C this semester). It is nearly impossible to find a good teacher, since this is a tough subject. I feel like I didn't learn much.

His class is very easy. The exams could not have been any easier. His lectures are actually quite helpful if you take the time to read the material beforehand. Overall, this class was an easy A.

Very difficult class!!! Gary's lectures are very dry yet fast paced. Go to A+ review if you want any chance at passing, they saved my grade. Go to lecture cause there are clicker points and there are quizes everyweek in the lab section. Be prepared to teach yourself!

This subject is a hard subject to begin with and Grudnitski does NOT help make it easier whatsoever. The only reason I got a B was from private tutoring, A+ Review, and lot's of practice! My TA was pretty useless as well. Take it elsewhere!!!

Horrible. Confusing lecture every week and small section where you take a group and individual quiz. No teaching is going on and everything is graded, participation points and hw included. No other option for accounting so you just have to pray that you can pass.

Comment:
Not only is he completely terrible at teaching, he is inconsiderate and unsympathetic toward the students he teaches. He could care less about how we are doing, which is shown in that he doesn't actually teach. It is not surprising that this is the most failed class here. I've never had a worse teacher before and the situation is disappointing.

I took ACCTG 201 + 202 with him. Honestly, ACCTG 201 is okay as long as you read. The main problem with Grudnitzki is the way he asks the questions. AVOID Andy for TA. I got C in 201. Meanwhile, for 202, he is way much better. I got a B for 202.

Despite all the bad reviews for Grudnitski, this class wasn't horrible. If you read the chapters before class, the lectures are actually helpful and make sense. Passing this class is a no brainer as long as you read.

Comment:
He was the worst teacher I have ever had throughout my education. He goes through the large lecture slides so fast, does a horrible job explaining them, and is really unhelpful. His tests are extremely difficult, he WILL take points off for every small detail I had a great T.A. for my small class, he taught me everything I learned. STAY AWAY.

The class is useless but unfortunately he's the only one that teaches it. 60% is a C but getting any thing other than that is difficult unless you're really good at accounting.
