Comment:
This class has been very unclear from the start. He does not "teach" , he just rambles a plethora of information. His handwriting is terrible. Along with this, he scrolls through the powerpoint just as fast as he rambles. As others said, he seems like a nice person however I am paying for an education, not someone to be nice.

Comment:
He barely teaches anything and unless you cheat you can't do well. The formula sheet you can bring with you to your exams rarely help. I recommend you read the book and teach yourself if you want to pass.

Comment:
His format matches what you can expect in the higher level courses: 1)PRE-assigned Reading/Problems 2) Chapter lecture & solution walk-throughs 3) Exam Review 4) Exam. My study peers and I did great because we recognized this. Some people complain he doesn't teach, but I rarely saw anyone else raise their hand. Hint: If you ask he'll answer.

I would suggest deridder to anyone who teaches themselves well because you can bring a cheat sheet to tests which makes things easy when he gives you all the questions. As a teacher though he is pretty awful. I managed to get an a though without going to class so you can take your chances with him

This professor is boring. Uses slides with confusing lines drawn all over them and goes over them so quickly they are un-comprehendable. It takes all my effort to not fall asleep during his class. I wish gittlemen was still teaching 202.

Deridder is a genuinely nice guy who actually wants his students to succeed. He gives you everything you need to get an A its wether or not you take advantage of that that makes the difference. He is willing to help and tests are very fair, I would highly reccomend his class, although I'm not an accounting major so idk about preparedness for 305

Comment:
DeRidder is the classic case of a very smart man who has trouble conveying the info. to students. he is nice, helpful and very knowledgable but you can barely hear/understand him in class. also, he just reads overheads with a bunch of lines drawn on them. he gives cheat sheets on exams and if the 1st exam arrives and he no longer does that, Id drop

Do not take this professor. Cost accounting is extremely hard if you don't know 202. You can get As on the test with minimal studying but you will not be ready to move on in accounting after taking him for 202

Im taking him again for 202. All you need is the book. Teach yourself the chapters a week prior to the test.. you dont have to do homework its extra credit-ish as in he ues it to bump you up of your boarderline. && best part is he gives you plenty of cheat sheets for th test along with emails of all the things to include on it! TAKE HIM.

Poor Deridder... Such a nice guy, but he needs to retire. Can't understand him or his handwriting. He takes attendance every class. He truely loves accounting and his students. You can use a notecard on exams. You'll pass no problem if you just put in a little effort. He tends to ramble and go off on pointless tangents.

easy class mostly because he loves teaching and wants his students to do well. the exams are open note but you still have to study or you'll never finish. class isn't mandatory and lectures are kind of boring. i still went most of the time because he tells stories all the time and rambles and it's hilarious. i recommend him.

open note exams, hw is optional, attendance is optional. Hard to understand and gives boring lectures but he is a sweet old man and genuenly wants his students to do well. Take him if you just want to get through accounting and don't care about learning it.

OK... I do agree, Dr Derrider is so sweet and willing to help. However, I don't believe in teaching myself... which is basically what I did... There's a cheat sheet allowed for the exam... but i would recommend taking someone who will really go through the stuff with you in class... please take another teacher if you can.

He is real nice and wants you to do well in the class HOWEVER, very boring class.. then again, it is accounting. He drops lowest test and allows you to use a page of notes and power point slides.

Great professor, recommend him to anyone. Overheads are hard to follow along with taking notes, just sit and listen, or go through book while he's talking. Tests are great, cheat sheets allowed. Presentation at end of class, can be about anything with business. Really looks out for students, willing to meet during office hours. KNOWLEDGABLE!

He's such a nice guy...but you can't understand a thing he's doing in class. If you don't mind reading the chapters yourself before the tests, then you'll do fine. He lets you use a cheat sheet for every test, all the power points, and he gives out lots of extra credit. It's really not that bad of a class.

Hate Hate Hate! He is by far the most boring professor I have ever had. Most of the time he mumbles and keeps his back to the class. Don't even attempt to copy the overheads! They fly on and off the projector before you can get a word down on paper. Still, the tests were relatively easy and you only have to do one paper.
