BMGT 221 - PRIN ACCOUNTING II
The class is very easy, the guy is just nuts. He is very anal about a lot of things. Clickers made you go to class but he said they are not using them after spring '09. Tests are very easy, just get an old test, same questions word for word. No curve at all but easy to get an A.

BMGT 221 - PRIN ACCOUNTING II
The only issue with this class is that attendance is required through a clicker that you need to pay 60 bucks just to get. Material isn't difficult, just a hassle. Put a little effort in and don't miss anything and you will easily get a B, probably an A.

BMGT 221
PRIN ACCOUNTING II
1*
Pros: Doesn't teach anything in class, so there's no need to go to class
Cons: Doesn't teach anything in class. Horrible teacher, talks about how important going to class is but NEVER teaches anything in class.
I don't know why the University keeps him, he clearly brings down the school and the Smith School.

BMGT 323
Taxation of Individuals
3***
Pros: -Enthusiastic -Seems to really like accounting -Knowledgeable
Cons: -He goes on tangents... A LOT. The hour and 15minutes of lecture generally includes an hour of him going on random tangents bashing republicans and giving short speeches about how he thinks this world should be run and about 15 minutes of real lecture -Tests can be brutal since he doesn't really "teach" that much

PRIN ACCOUNTING II
5*****
Pros: -Absurdly easy exams (they are made up of problems straight from MyAccountingLab)



-Tons of extra credit (up to 7 percentage points towards your final grade)



-Easy homework and attendance points worth 25% of your grade
Cons: The material can be boring, but that's not Pfeiffer's fault
Essentially, if you can get an average score of 80% on the exams, you'll get an A.

Pros: Very approachable and concerned about his students.
Cons: Not always 100% on task in his lectures, but this is in itself a pro since he's not a boring textbook regurgitator.
great class for accounting majors...you'll love life if this is the main business class you take during the semester

PRIN ACCOUNTING II
2**
Pros: He gave extra points for the homework and discussion attendance to help everyone get 100%.
Cons: His lectures were pointless and he doesn't teach the material well. Asking him questions is pointless. I also felt he was a little rude to his students toward the end of the semester.

PRIN ACCOUNTING II
2**
Pros: no need to go to his class. just study and do the online & textbook practice problems.
Cons: horrible at teaching and gets extremely mad when you leave his class early (surprisingly he doesn't give a crap when you show up late to class). study at home and you'll do much better.

One of the worst professors I have ever had. He is irrational and all he does is read slides from the projector. He gets angry if you leave class even though he spends the majority of class telling stories that have nothing to do with the class.
