Russell has been my most engaging and thoughtful professor I have had so far and I am a senior, He makes you want to come to class and learn. He explains everything well even though it is a more demanding course but it is one of my only lectures where I can fully engage in and I am listening the entire time. I wish all professors were like himRate My Professors ↗
AMAZING!!!! The best lecturer in a tough course. He makes ACCT301 easier to learn by explaining all the concepts clearly and he is very humorous. He can make people who hate accounting fall in love with it. It remains a challenging course. Be ready to dedicate ample time to studying and reading the textbook and don't miss any lecture.Rate My Professors ↗
Tough class, but the professor was amazing. He explained everything clearly and detailed.Rate My Professors ↗
Russell was the best accounting lecturer I have had yet. Accounting is a relatively boring subject but he tried to make it as interesting as possible. He really cares about his students and I enjoyed going to his class. He is great at explaining difficult concepts and making them easy. Study for the tests (especially multiple choice).Rate My Professors ↗
Russell does a good job of making accounting interesting however he can. However, what makes his class so special is that in addition, he likes to tell you about about his life or just life in general. You leave with so much more knowledge than just accounting. By the end of the class, you'll finally appreciate why it's a great day for accounting.Rate My Professors ↗
Epp truly knows how to make accounting fun. It is clear that he is passionate about the subject and wants his students to succeed. Makes lectures interesting by showing funny pictures/sharing stories at the beginning of class. Even as someone who doesn't like accounting, I didn't dread coming to his class at all.Rate My Professors ↗
