Reviews of professor John Driscoll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of my favorite profs. He actually cares if you are doing well or not. Puts class material into practice. Not too heavy with the workload. Understanding during tough situations. Exams reflect material. I wish there were more profs like him.

Attendance isn't mandatory but it helps a lot to be in class. He likes to have 1 class be participation heavy (with a list of handouts) and then the next class is partner/group work. His exams are pretty similar to the sample exams that he gives out. Grading is pretty much quizzes (on connect) and the in-class exams. Very nice guy.

I always feared taking accounting courses both in high school and university, and John Driscoll completely changed my point of view. His class was always engaging and made it clear how accounting works as well as its significance. I just wish I had taken him sooner.

Honors Federal Taxation - HW & Quizzes are in Connect, short & easy that can be finished in 15 minutes. His quizzes contain only 1 question based on the hw questions that can be complete in 1-5 minutes. All 4 Exams are tax return problems but he drops the lowest one. In my case, I didn't have to complete the 4th tax return and still maintain an A.

This guy is a favorite picker. You have to work very hard to receive an A from him on his exams and he will only curve your grade if he likes you. Avoid taking his class as there are accounting professors at this school that will not make you hate accounting. He puts a lot of emphasis on accounting isn't for everybody but won't bother helping you!
