Comment:
If you are unsure of anything in Accounting, be prepared to be so overwhelmed so fast. There were 6 hefty assignments due each week, each assignment took me 2-4 hours each. When I expressed how overwhelmed I felt, his response was condescending. The student chat was constantly filled with complaints on the workload and the website used.

No text book, gives pdf files. Lots of homework, especially for a 10 week class. Weekly quizzes, weekly ongoing project, and 4 exams, all combined to give you your grade. No extra credit given. Adjusted the grading towards the end of semester, making it a bit easier to get a better grade. Overall an easy going, caring profesor.

Comment:
Professor Carter was a great instructor for what most would consider to be very dry material. He is extremely accessible and gives tailored, detailed, specific feedback to you on each assignmenttest. Highly approachable and will answer any question posed. VERY CLEAR instructions for work. Do the work, get an A. Simple as that.

Comment:
Very clear on instructions, was stressed starting the class because the material was foreign, but once you get used to it, it's relatively simple. There is way too much material to handle per week, just go over lecture answers to do the HW problems and review practice tests for exams and you should be fine. There is no textbook, just PDF lectures.

This guy is awesome and his class is so easy, you just really need to do the homework. At the time it seemed a little challenging but once you get into intermediate accounting, let me tell you, financial accounting is kindergarten stuff. Carter is pretty funny and I would absolutely take him again, and this time do the homework. Project is easy

He just didn't teach. I am so annoyed with this class because I wanted to learn Accounting, and he basically makes you teach yourself. Take him if you already know what you're doing.

Excellent teacher. The first time I took the class with a different teacher and didn't understand one thing. With Professor Carter everything became clear. Take his class! He made accounting clear to understand and as interesting as accounting can be.

Went to class about 3 times and got an A. The class is basically set up like an online class so you don't even have to go. 1-2 hours of homework a week with multiple choice exams. Nice professor and fair grader.

Make this class your priority! Ignore the textbook - not helpful. Devote more time to studying and doing problems than any other class before. If you make this class your number one priority from day 1, seriously, then you will understand the content and get a good grade. But just remember, you can fall behind really quickly - study, study, study!

I took him for honors financial accounting. He never taught the class and rambled about useless things during class time. He is a nice guy though... easy grader when it comes to determining final grades. I would just suggest not taking the honors section.

This rating is for Advanced Accounting.The material is very complex and the textbook is completely inadequate in explaining some of the concepts. This is where Carter comes in. He is phenomenal. He teaches you how to logically think through the material. Be engaged in the class and pay attention,and you will learn a lot and do well in the course

Professor Carter is the reason I majored in accounting. Getting to take him twice, once for financial and the second for advanced, has made my academic career priceless. He's good humored and very pleasant. It doesn't hurt that he also gives stickers on homework and awards for top exam scores. He is always helpful and clear. This man is amazing.

This class is super easy. Keep up with the online work and you would really have to try to get less than an A. People are saying 10 hours a week of online work, it was more like 2-3. Tests were exactly like online work. You still learn a lot, Carter is a great professor and really knows how to teach the material in a way that its easy to understand

Monty is a great teacher. He is responsive to questions and wants you to do well. Just be ready to devote at least 10-12 hours per week to the class work. Homework, practice exams, and an online project. Do the work and the reading and you will be fine. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Great instructor. I took the on-line course. Excellent format and very easy to use. Caution: A lot of school work! Homework, Practice assignments, 4 exams and an customized online project = 10-12 hours per week at least. You will learn accounting which is the objective but you will spend much more time with this class than what you expected.
