A true class act. Good professor and advisor when I was there years back. If you make an effort with him you will be satisfied with your grade. His exams can be tough sometimes but he curves and you wont fail if you just put the effort in. Overall very fair professor

One of my favorites. It's really nice to get a perspective on what you need to know from someone who's actually out there in the real world, and being successful.

Made an accounting class an easy A by telling excessive stories about his various businesses, assigning hardly any homework, and giving tests that were definition based.

Very interesting class. Although Mr. Balch does like to brag a lot, he has very interesting stories related to the field. Tests are easy and homework is not graded.

A very amusing professor, he made the material interesting and easy to understand. His personal life seems REALLY sketchy.

I can't believe this guy is teaching 400 level. Only thing I am going to trust him to do is to hit on coeds.

He only gives take home tests and rarely teaches. Just make sure you are on his good side and you will do well.

Comment:
He is simply terrible. If you are looking for an A, take him. If you actually care about learning something, avoid him. For auditing, just study for yourself. He cannot teach a thing except for bigotry, sexism and good ol boy system.
