Reviews of professor Paul Shaffer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was probably my favorite accounting class that I took at ISU. Professor Shaffer has years of actual public audit experience which allows him to share his experiences and give real life examples which makes the class much more engaging. Chill dude overall and a decent class.

Emphasized the CPA exam, most exam questions come from that exam and not the powerpoints from class, making them almost impossible to pass. Few extra credit opportunity but he'll say they're due one day and collect them a different day. 10 page paper to boost your grade, an easy A. Tries to be humorous but comes off rude. Syllabus is pointless.

Dr. Shaffer was great, the class is made up on the basis of exams, a term paper, and a bunch of extra credit. The exams are not that difficult and are based off of the extra credit and in-class handouts. Dr. Shaffer is always willing and usually available for extra help. I would definitely recommend taking Dr. Shaffer!

Funny Professor who cares about each of his students. Tests are not easy but he does curve.

I would 100% recommend him for this class but the only downside to him is that everything is online based. He also doesn't say when everything is due and I did struggle with missing plenty of assignments. Otherwise, easy class tests are online and out of class the same with all the other assignments. You really never have to go to class.
