Comment:
Tough course, though not his fault. Must read ahead to answer clicker questions in class and actuall understand his lectures. A lot of time required to prepare for this class. Research assignments were difficult and time consuming. Midterm and final were long but fair. Very helpful in office hours.

Comment:
Tax is ... tax. The prof is great though, can't help it that the subject is hard. Go to class and try your best to look at the material before hand. Midterm and Final were really hard. To work hard on the two assignments and participate and click on your clicker to scramble for some marks. Great prof. Very clear, knowledgeable and neat. well liked.

Comment:
Great prof, and he probably has the entire ITA crammed inside that head. The final burned more than a couple individuals, and without that pity bell curve, it would have been humiliating to say the least. Otherwise, you'll definitely learn something.

Tough course, keep up with the work for sure. Do the assigned problems AHEAD of time or you'll be lost. The final exam was super tough and long, especially since there was 3 big questions instead of 2 big and 2 smaller like on the final 04. Ken tried to make the class interesting with his enthusiasm and morning cartoons but he needs to teach more.

Comment:
This is like a self study course...which I think is inappropriate considering that tax is hard and most people don't have prior experiences with it... he should teach the material instead of just telling us to learn from the text

Comment:
This guy is useless in general. The course notes are pretty bad and the material is hard to learn considering the tax exam had to be belled by 30% fall 2005!!! He might as well just post the solutions to inclass problems so we don't have to waste time.

Hmm...well he was a OK prof but his final was pretty long (not enough time to finish) and he RARELY checks his e-mail which sucks. Also I don't like the fact that all he does is takes up the homework problems...teach us something Ken! You should have just put up the answers on ACE instead of wasting our time...no value added here for sure.

Funny guy. One of the few professors who won't allow a certain keener to treat class as a personal tutorial. Fair and very helpful.

The course is hard because it's quite a load slammed into such a short time. Try to keep up or you'll fall very hard and fast. Overall a pretty good prof, the course material is just hard in nature.

Funny in a subtle but goofy kinda way. Just make and effort to participate once and you'll get your 5/5 for participation. The course overall is tough because they try to shove to much down your throat in little time
