Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
This was an online summer class for managerial accounting. This class was honestly so chill. There were weekly prerecorded lectures, assignments, and quizzes. Nothing was proctored until the final exam which was just like the materials provided, which were many. I would definitely recommend this class with Brett!

The mini-lectures every week (8-10, about 6-15 minutes long) were definitely a lot of work. I had in-person discussions, which I thought were not super useful, tbh. I'd have just taken the course completely asynchronous if I'd known. Professor Killion is super nice, though, and responds to emails super promptly.

Professor Killion was amazing! This class has lots of work each week that takes a while, but his lectures are well done, and he is a funny guy. Two exams are worth 32%, but he gives super helpful review exercises, a study guide, and a review session. I learned a lot, and it is definitely helpful information. Super great guy; I would recommend!

This guy is so sweet and wholesome. I took it online so all of his lectures were pre-recorded videos, but he still made time to make announcements and respond to all questions in a timely manner. He also gave a lot of helpful material for exams (they are worth 32% of the grade) but were fairly easy, especially with the study guide!

Prof Killion is kind. Be ready for a lot of work. He assigns 6-8 short lectures a week, avg 12 min each. Every 1-2 lectures have a practice. There are a few projects as well, but they don't take nearly as long as he says. Pre/post class quizzes every week for asynchronous. Final is non-cumulative, and he has helpful review sessions beforehand.
