Reviews of professor Jim Higgins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I love Jim so much! He is very accessible outside of class. On the first day he gives you his phone number to be able to reach him! There is homework almost every week, but it is super easy and it lets you check your work. The lectures are power points that are from the book, he post them online. You don't have to go to class, but I recommend it.

Does not teach you what is on the test. Extremely monotone and horrible teacher. He is an accountant that wanted to teach. Do not take ACC 201 with him.

Was a very good teacher during difficult 2020 pandemic.

Jim was a really great professor! His lectures were dense and content heavy but if you didnt understand something he would take all the time the student needed to explain it. Hes really easy to access out of class and is willing to work with the student if they need out of class help. I wold recommend him to anyone thinking of taking his course!

Jim was probably the most caring professors I have had at Ball State. His lectures are quite boring, but he realizes that very few of us are accounting majors, so he tries to make life easy. I have no idea what I was doing involving accounting, so every quiz was extra credit. I only gave him a 5 for difficulty because the class in general is hard

Took this class while the virus was happening and he ended up canceling some of the assignments since unplanned events happened. He cares about his students, if youre not understanding a lesson, ask questions, he will help. He even gives you his phone number so you can call him if you have questions while working on the homework!

Higgins is more than willing to help any student. If you are stuck on homework for a while, he will literally call& explain. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if ACC is a tougher subject/never taken it before, I highly recommend showing up. He posts his lectures & gives a take home quiz before every test that counts as EC. One of my top profs by far!

He is very caring and is always willing to help you and answer your questions. From what I have heard from other friends in accounting he is the best teacher for Acc 201. He wants you to pass but also wants you to understand the material. He is super passionate about Accounting!
