The best business professor I had during my time at SFU. He challenges his students while making the content as interesting as possible. It's because of him I obtained my CA designation.

Comment:
BEST accounting prof EVER. 6 accounting courses so far, and no other prof is close to being as good as Alain. Very straight forward and has a lot of self-made handouts (and not stupid textbook ones) for practice. Do all the handouts twice and you'll do good on the test. Very high interest in course and tries to make things interesting. RECOMMENDED!

He is a good prof, truly wants students to learn. Provides plenty of examples and good notes to get through the material and exams. Well prepares us with IFRS material for the anticipated changes in Canadian accounting principles. He is very nice and helpful. GOOD PROF!

Best Accounting Prof I've ever had. He really cares about every student and it shows. You do have to study hard for the exams though (obvious?). Overall, I would recommend Alain over any other prof in the accounting department.

I did not do his course very good. But I will never blame on him. It was my fault (wrong study method), not his. He is one of the best prof in SFU. Very nice and very helpful. Just practice all handouts he gives to you, you will get good mark. Text is useless, don' use it.

Best accounting prof I have ever taken. He is able to make the info relevant and clear I have never seen a prof go out of his way to prepare as much as him. Doesn't skip information so prepare to learn alot! Exams are relevant, few tricks. He truly cares that you learn. Lindsey the TA was also excellent. You will enjoy accounting again.

He is the best prof. If you don't get taught from Alain, you will regret! No wonder why he won those teaching awards. He is not easy; if you are not prepared, you will mess up. But even if you messed up, he helps with nice smile. Awesome prof.

Alain is the best accounting prof at SFU. His interactive tutorials and lectures allow you to continually be active in the class. His tutorial/lecture examples are excellent, and since much of his exam reflect this, it makes a great study tool. He is also extremely knowledgeable, a good all around guy, and always there to answer questions.

Really nice guy, truly cares about his students and wants them to learn. Does not provide very detailed notes so have to rely on the textbook a lot. As long as you know the inclass and tutorial examples inside out, you should be fine. Midterm is ok, final is tough. Tough course, prepare to work hard, but Alain is there to help you if you need it.

My class with Alain has been very ambitious - lots crammed into the course, which is great! Even better is that Alain genuinely cares that his students are learning (truly absorbing) as much as possible. It's shown time and again with all of the ways he gives the extra help he is always willing to give. Excellent Prof. Thanks Alain!

Alain is the best accounting prof at SFU. Unlike other prof here at SFU, he is responsible and has a big heart. He cares about his student learning/career, and if you are pursuing the CA designation, he'll give you tons of useful advices. Just make sure u study hard in his course b/c it can be challenging. In the end, worth all the money and time.
