Comment:
I would personally never take this professor again. You have to teach yourself throughout the whole course. This was an online course & he would just post powerpoint straight from the book, which did not help at all. His labs were always confusing and asking him confuses you more. Assigns a lot of homework and you're on your own the whole course!!!

This teacher was not organized at all and did not give a clear understanding of information in the class. This made it very difficult to do well in the class.

Although I dropped the class in the middle of the semester, (picked the wrong one instead of intro) I want to leave a review because Blanshard was a excellent teacher, very helpful and involved. No technical issues either which is a plus for online classes.

Accounting is not an easy subject all,& prof did not make it any easier. 1st of all, everyone was ALWAYS lost by the time we got out of class! He goes thru chapters fast! I was finding it easier to follow by the book than to hear him go back and forth trying to explain! my classmates were dropping like flies it went from 25+ to 8 that says it all

Comment:
For students that their English is a second language it is really hard. There are always mistakes on the exams. This leads to lose your time concentrating on mistakes instead on the questions. Never solving textbook problems together during the class. You should know the chapter in advance, so you can answer his questions during the lectures.

Great Professor. I would seriously would take this course again if I could. Super hilarious and gives great financial advice. Nonetheless, if you want an A in the class, STUDY the labs because they're just like the exam.

Comment:
His classes are brutal. His grading is straightforward and the tests are not simply memorization. That being said, he covers the material very well. As long as the homework is done, he'll overlook most mistakes. It's not an easy A, but his classes are still fun and he has a great sense of humor. Thick accent but easy to understand.

Comment:
Professor Blanshard likes to talk more about himself than accounting. He expects students to know material that hasn't been taught and makes them feel stupid when they don't know the answer. Constantly fell asleep in class during group work, plays loud music during tests and is overall a distracting person. I don't recommend taking his class.

The professor cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. As a given, for every class, you must do the reading to do well. He's willing to stay after class to help you with homework. He's a likable professor. Of course income tax is a difficult subject so extra effort is required to get a good grade.

Comment:
Terrible instructor. For his lecture, he opens the book and reads it to the class. Has 4 or 5 hours of homework due for each class. Each exam has a different point value. His exams had a lot of mistakes on it. Puts you on the spot and ridicules your answers if they are wrong. All he talks about is himself.

All the ratings on this professor are spot on. Blanshard is a great instructor and is very helpful to his students. His sense of humor keeps the class interesting! If he taught anything else other than accounting I would definitely take the class!

He's very helpful. He'll always take time to answer any questions. He truly cares about each student. The class wasn't too difficult. He gives labs with problems that are similar to ones you'll see on the tests. He also gives extra credit that will help you in case you don't do so well on an exam. He's also kinda funny.

He is the best Professor. I took Bus1A 2008 Fall semester. 5 exams. Homework is crucial. He is very funny and care about his students very well. If you have a question, he is always willing to answer it. You must study if you want to pass the class.
