Great professor! The tax subject is definitely on the more difficult side, but as long as you participate, come to class on time, and take detailed notes during lectures, earning a decent grade is more than possible. #Sumutka Legacy

Comment:
He's one of those professors who is very challenging, but that's because tax is supposed to be that way. His lectures are very thorough, so it's up to you to take the best notes you possibly can. Make sure you do all of the homework to the best of your ability.

Comment:
If you are a serious accounting student who is attending college for the right reasons and you anticipate pursuing a CPA license, I would highly recommend taking Professor Samutka. He is one of the few high quality - top notch professors in the accounting department at Rider. That being said, his course will be well worth your time and effort.

single handedly destroyed my confidence in this class and on the tax subject itself. Tough subject and he definitely knows his stuff, however he expects you to understand everything perfectly and makes the test very difficult. I don't think he realizes he's not the only class a student has during the semester. Good luck!

Comment:
The best teacher on campus. If u put in the effort then he will go the extra mile for u. The material in general is difficult. To the comment about him not knowing the subject, tax law changes each year and nobody in the field knows everything off the top of their head. He stays up to date on everything and is the best person to teach this course.

The best answer for all questions "I don't know it from the top of my head." For average student may look like he knows the subject, but he does not. Useless as a teacher, unless you know the subject or what to spend a lot of time self studying. He can use words like Idiots when talking to students, very rude. cannot teach.

Nice teacher. Very understanding teacher when you go to his office. However, extremely hard, tons of homework every day. Big project at the end. Very hard to get a B in his class. Good Luck.

The class is by no means an easy course. However, as a teacher Sumutka is as good as it gets. It's the type of class the you have to just stick with but in the end will be extremely rewarding. Very hard to get an A in the course, but with hard work a B is more than obtainable.

Nice guy but his grading is too hard compared to the other tax classes. His tests are punative. Inserts his right wing politics too much into classes too.

Like others have said. Samutka is the BEST accounting/tax professor at Rider U. There is required homework every class, but it will help you learn the material greatly. You CANNOT slack off in the class or you WILL fail. You can easily get a passing grade if you go to every class and pay attention. Again: Not an easy class, but EXTREMELY rewarding

He might kick your ass in class, but he's probably the BEST accounting professor at Rider. Really knows what he's talking about and can actually teach it too!
