Comment:
I still make fun of this guy's voice to this very day. He was not the best professor and I believe you should avoid him at all costs. Also, he wore a Guatemala t-shirt EVERY DAY with his bermuda shorts. Have fun learning about "Tina's Divers Supply" if that is still his same example. He likes to use the word ingits too. ha!

Comment:
He may know accounting, but nobody ever taught him how to teach! He scratches things accross the white board, lectures terribly,his tests are awful and his voice is just plain annoying. Possibly the worst professor I've ever had. I actually got worse at adding after taking his accounting class lol!

Read the book!! Although he seems to know all the accounting procedures, he doesn't realize that they are not intuitive and doesn't really teach anything to his students. Even if you're strong in math, don't underestimate this class!

Comment:
Butler likes to ask "Are there any questions?" The problem is he rarely acknowledges the class to answer them. Class is test-based (3 exams) with 2 or 3 questions per exam. I got a 72% and will need to retake the class next semester. Says tutoring is a waste of time and money, but I say he is.

Worst teacher I have had at SDSU. I am an A student and struggled to pass this class. His tests are set up for you to fail and it is obvious he doesn't care about his students. He gets annoyed when people have questions and is not accessible outside of class. By the end of the semester I was confused as hell and hated accounting. DO NOT TAKE!

This class ruined my whole perspective on accounting and being a business major! He tries to trick you on all the tests and if you make one little mistake you get the whole problem wrong. He could care less if you actually knew the material and the right equations!!

Comment:
I disagree with many of the postings in here. I feel as if Dr. Butler taught fine. He's a bit boring but he does try to make fun comments. The only way I would feel as if he wouldn't make sense is if you don't read or study. But if you keep up with the readings, you'll understand him. He teaches from the book and is an alright professor.

Comment:
I've only been in his class one week, and I hugely regret signing up with this professor. He's not very personable and he doens't explain things well. He just writes stuff on the board and talks to himself. He just expects everybody to automatically understand what he's talking about. I can't believe they let somebody like this teach!

Go ahead and bend over as Dr. Butler carefully positions himself behind you and gives you an experince you'll never forget. This guy is the worst teacher I've ever had. I don't understand why he doesn't get fired after years and years of horrible reviews and student evaluations.

Doesn't answer questions, his writing is sloppy, monotone voice, doesn't help during office hours and doesn't know anything about how to teach. I've never gotten a B before in my life and I failed his class. That should tell you something... BEWARE!

Beware of this teacher. He is no help and when you do ask him for help, he makes the problem even more confusing! He gives C- so avoid taking his class.

Comment:
terrible teacher. he'd "forget his notes" and have to go back to his office at least 1/2 the time. you could tell he'd be a jackass based on his wardrobe...3 shirts rotated over and over and shorts no matter how cold or rainy it was...he hates teaching and he wishes you had never been born
