Comment:
Extremely arrogant. Explains difficult concepts with hand gestures and takes for granted that everyone understands. He responds to forums weeks later, if he does. He brags about how it is in his nature to make students' lives more difficult (a quote from his video). Corrects select questions on assignments due to "limited resources". Horrible guy.

Comment:
Ive taken 4 courses with Jacques, he is the best accounting instructor at Carleton. He gives multiple examples and knows his stuff. You have to solve as many problems as possible in his class. His exams are tricky but he covers everything in his lectures. People think hes tough but hes a nice guy and appreciates hard working students.

Comment:
He was a great teacher but his exams and midterms are way harder than everything he has every taught in the course before. He purposefully sets people up to fail in the exams, and I remember at a lecture he said that. He wants to weed the good ones out but it as very unfair and not an equal playing field.

Comment:
Since accounting is primarily taught online, Jacques does ok in terms of teaching material to students. However, the online quizzes are NOTHING like the midterm/final (WAY HARDER!!!). The textbook problems are good, but the course is fast-paced, so be sure to keep up with everything. It seems like you will get it or you won't in this class...

Comment:
If you ever plan on going into accounting Jacques is the best choice to prepare you for that path. He can come across harsh but he in truth he is just blunt and a guy who tells it as it is and is not going to sugar coat it for you. Thats the real world, he works closely with the CPA and knows how to prep his students for what lies ahead.

Comment:
Makes a lot of errors when transcribing numbers and showing answers to questions. Can be condescending when talking about the level of difficulty involved. You must do a lot of the practice questions to be able to do well in his class as he does many variations in wording questions on quizzes and exams.

Comment:
Prof Maurice is an accounting genius, if you cant handle his toughness, then you arent ready for the accounting program. He is not the type of emotional feeling kind of guy, he will be straight with you. Explains accounting like a pro, you will never find a better prof at explaining accounting concepts anywhere in the entire world. Test: fair

Comment:
The poorest quality textbooks a human can write stem from this man. If you want to pass intro accounting, take second year accounting courses before hand as they will most likely help you better than an intro class can. Also, flipped classrooms are a lazy attempt at effective teaching. Complete waste of money and time.

Comment:
Maurice is an excellent professor because he takes his time explaining the steps for solving application problems. He will often point out where a lot of students go wrong, which helps when studying for exams. His tests and weekly assignments are challenging, but they rarely feel unfair if you put enough hours into the course.

One of best teachers I have ever had. He explains complex accounting topics as close to laymen terms as you will get. If you put in the work you will get a good mark his tests are very fair anyone saying otherwise did not put in the effort I have taken him for 3 courses now all very fair. A+ teacher.

At the start, this course seemed like a lot of work. But, when I started to realize how applicable this material was to the real world, it started becoming more interesting. Don't let "a lot of work" get in the way of the endless possibilities in the future. Jacques is good a prof. Don't let people tell you he's bad, you just need to apply yourself

He's a very funny professor, and he has been teaching for so long that he knows students inside and out - he knows exactly what areas we're going to struggle with and will constantly point out common mistakes, which does help on questions. Some assignment questions had no part marks which sucked. Mid-term and final were fair.

Tells you exactly what is expected of you. Gotta keep up and stay on schedule. Practice, practice,practice. It's a difficult and time consuming course but I think he teaches it in the best way possible. You can tell he cares about his work and has put effort into how the course was set up.
