Loved having Cook for tax! He's so passionate about the material. I was very intimidated at first.... but he is a very kind and caring professor. Definitely connect with him outside of class!!!

He's a pretty okay person, but the matter of fact is he does NOT teach well . The online book material taught me pretty much everything I know about managerial accounting.

Comment:
Does not lecture on the material, and essentially everything is learned outside of class. He spends most of his time picking on students, and will try to embarrass you if you do not know the answer. I would not recommend taking this class unless you are very comfortable speaking in front of class every day. That being said, it's an easy class.

How you like Cook depends on how comfortable you are with accounting. He pretty much just makes fun of kids all class (really funny though) and lectures on stuff outside of book, you really teach yourself with the homework (almost all online). If you're having trouble though he'll really help you out after class

Comment:
Not even sure what happened in this class. Homework is all online but lectures in class will not help you with it. You have to be able to teach yourself the material. I really struggled due to the fact that math-based work does not come easy, although he will try to explain it outside of class if you ask. In class, however, he just makes jokes.

Comment:
He spends half the class period making fun of students, so you won't really learn much. You'll basically have to figure out everything on your own. It is obvious he enjoys that power that comes with being in front of the classroom. I'd avoid taking his class if you can.

Comment:
Try for Reynolds or Medema, but if you get Cook he's not that bad. Doesn't EVER collect HW so you don't really have to do it until test time. What you go over in class rarely helps on exams!! Basically I self-taught myself for the tests. Not horrible overall, though. They make Bus 203 a very managable class at Calvin.

Nice and helpful prof outside of class. Class is lame--lecturing, going over homework problems, and calling on people is all he does. The things he talks about in class don't help for tests much.

Stay away! He's a smart guy, but his teaching is lacking. He stands in front of class with the seating chart in his hand and calls on people for answers THE ENTIRE CLASS PERIOD. Do your homework so you don't look dumb..he doesn't collect them though! :) Very intimidating at first...will just look at people until they figure out the right answers.

how do so many people like him? most boring class in the course of the universe. only positive thing i could think of is that he works better than any sleeping pill i've ever taken. he's got no sense humor (unless you count him making fun of students). if you can, take the class with medema or don

The questions he asks are somewhat unclear. Asks random students questions to see if they did their homework. Did not explain at all the Restaurant - Bank project. Take Voskuil for 204.

Excellent Prof. Make you learn the theory behind what your doing not just memorizing how to do it. Great sense of humor.

Very demanding. Expect to spend about 2 hours a day studying. Tests are hard. Get started early, but you'll be prepared for that tax internship.
