I would not recommend this teacher to anyone.He is too old to be teaching. He falls asleep in the middle of class and good luck getting him to answer a question because he's completely deaf. However if you can teach yourself accounting and somewhat do good on the tests, then combined with the curve, you will do good.
Exams: He gives VERY good curves-one of our curves was about 23 points. But make sure that you check your test when he goes over it-he makes lots of mistakes and make sure that he adjusts your grade in his book-sometimes he forgets
Homework: He doesn't take up homework until right before the test.But if you hope to do good in this class it requires alot of learning outside of class
Textbook: Very helpful book-using the cd that comes with it is helpful

Mr. Jones is not a good teacher. If you want to learn Accounting then avoid him at all costs, but if you just need the class for some other reason then with minimal effort and his curve you shoud get an A or B. He doesn't write anything on the board and the test questions look nothing like the homework.
Exams: Gives huge curves (15-30 pts) on each test.
Homework: Problems from book not required, but can be part of the grade if student wishes.

I'd rather have been forced to watch a Pauly Shore marathon as to taking this class. Dr. Jones was old 20 YEARS AGO, can't hear, is defensive, rude, make tasteless jokes and it completely out of touch with today's students. He does not use visual representations for this course, which is necessary to understand Accounting. He consistently falls asleep in class, can't even take attendance without missing names {Irrelevant Info Omitted - MTSU Review}.
Please avoid him at all costs. There is nothing to be learned here, and without the help of a couple of classmates, I would have dropped the course. I am more confused about Accounting now than I was when his class began. I cannot underestimate the horrible teacher he is. DO NOT RENEW HIS CONTRACT!!!!
Exams: The test questions look as if they were cut and pasted to a Word document, then printed in mass. The tests are HORRIBLE!!! I am not a math genius, but this old guy has no clue when it comes to tests. Very confusing!!! Also had pop quizzes that required an interpretor to understand.
Homework: Problems were assigned at the beginning of each chapter, but he never took them up, except for test day and he didn't even look at them.
Textbook: Gotta use the textbook, or you will be like a ship lost at sea!!!! If you don't read the book, you are gonna get burnt in this class..Have to teach yourself.

Mr. Jones was the most awful teacher ever! I don't recommend anyone to take him. He doesn't work any problems on the board and gets mad at you when you don't understand the material! He should already be retired but he is still teaching if that is what you want to call it!
Exams: The tests had nothing to do with the material covered
Homework: some pop quizzes and homework problems that no one knows how to do

He is very stubborn and old. Blames students for failing class, when he obviously can not teach at all. Do not take this class.
Exams: Very Hard.
Homework: Problems and exercises. He doesn't even look at them.

I feel like I understand less about accounting after having Dr. Jones's class. He was not organized or helpful in his teaching. Class lectures very rarely had anything to do with tested material. Dr. Jones does not welcome questions and was actually rude to me personally on a few occassions for asking. I do not recommend him as a teacher.
Exams: TO do well on his tests you have to have read every word in the chapter, including the footnotes. The multiple choice and T/F questions were very hard because it was impossible to tell where he would get them from and the answers were tricky.
Homework: Chapter outlines and notes were optional and could count for a test grade.
Textbook: I found the textbook extremely helpful because Dr. Jones was very confusing so I had to teach myself from the textbook.

This class was a nightmare. The teacher is old, and very forgetful. Avoid this teacher. He does not understand how to teach. The tests are very hard, and usually do not cover the info discussed in class, or the problems done for homework. I would definitly not have taken this teacher if I had known how hard such a simple class could be.
Exams: he would give pop quizes just to spite people if they had to leave early. two soccer girls had a game and needed to leave early, they told him before class and he okayed it, but then when they left, he gave a pop quiz because they left early. so they made a 0.
Homework: problems and outlines
Textbook: you have to teach yourself using the textbook, which is almost just as confusing as the teacher

Dr. Jones is a nice old man, but taking his class was a frustrating experience, especially if you're not comfortable with accounting/math. The test questions always seemed to be too different from the homework and class example problems. Plus he rarely writes examples on the board which makes it difficult to visualize exactly what is going on in the problems.
Exams: Tests never seemed to cover exactly what was covered in class. Always similar, but different enough to make them really, really confusing. However, the plus side was that he curved the grades pretty well.
Homework: Textbook problems
Textbook: the book is needed.

This professor should be avoided. He hates to write things on the board, is constantly having to be corrected, and gets an attitude. He grades the tests really hard, and he's extremely boring.
Exams: Even if you don't cover something fully in class, he'll have a very long problem about it on the test.Often, the tests are too long by at least one or two questions and are hard to finish in time.
Homework: He requires a lot of homework, but he dosen't take it up except on test days. The homework usually takes three or four hours a week.
Textbook: If you want to survive in this class, you have to read the book.

This profesor is old and needs to stop teaching. He has had several heartaches and several open-heart surgeries. He is boring and will get smart with any student for asking him a question about the work. If you sign up for this class you will be teaching yourself. He is not a good teacher to have and I wish someone would have told me before I signed up for his course. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
Exams: THe test are very hard and he does not cover what is going to be on the exam.
Homework: Homework requirements are problems and outline of the chapter. There are pop quizes given throughout the semester.
Textbook: The textbook is basicly all you will have to learn in this class, because he is not going to teach you anything in this class. He refuses to write on the board so there are no visual aid of the problems that he is discussing in class.

he needs to retire, he can't hear, and he needs to figure out that the students aren't being taught the material in the correct way in which they should be if he wants us to grasp the concepts.
Exams: This teacher was horrible, he does not know how to connect the materail with the students, he does not present the material in a manner that is understandabel to the students and is to old to be teaching. He also does not use the board to show you how to do any of the problems, he expects you to be able to understand what he is talking about and be able to apply it with out showing you how it is supposed to be done.
Homework: none
Textbook: The only way to figure out half way what is going on is to read the textbook, since you are not going to learn anything from him.

Dr. Jones is a nice professor; however, that alone doesn't dismiss the fact that he should not be teaching. He's old and does not have the energy to instruct a class. He can not relate examples to the class. What is not covered in class, will surely be covered on the test. Avoid at all cost.
