Comment:
The grading is somewhat favorable. You don't learn much in class. He spends most of class saying how the students are not smart and won't make very good auditors. Though, he his smart on the subject. You are required to write a notecard which counts as your attendance.

Comment:
Yardley knows his stuff and the grading is favorable to students; however, I absolutely hate his attitude. He is intimidating and overall makes class uncomfortable. It seems like every class is lecture in how we mostly suck at life. Some people like him but if you want a laid back comfortable classroom environment, he is not for you.

Great teacher. The way he administers his class and how grades are weighted is favorable to the student. Although the course itself is very dull, he tries to make the class at least a little interesting.

Comment:
Had for a graduate level international accounting class several years ago. Was a difficult situation for him replacing another professor after the second or third week of the semester. Very difficult class for me, really didn't enjoy his teaching style at all. Found him to be very aloof with his students.

I agree with the person before me, unless you enjoy waking up early to fill in blanks that won't help you study for the test there is absolutely no point in going to class. The tests are hard and there's really nothing inparticular I call tell you to help you out. Good luck..

If going to class to fill in blanks left in powerpoints appeals to you, than Yardley is your man. Very boring, hard to learn in class. without the text book you will not learn a thing.

Class is hard and he is a little weird... But his online class notes are very helpful when test time comes around. Test are not that hard if you prepare well.
