Reviews of professor Richard Minot

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Don't even bother. I'm a great student, I'm always studying hard for classes. I always feel confident after studying for the tests, but still can't pass them bc they're difficult & long. Max 3 people actually finish and turn in the test. The class did push me to study harder, but it will not be reflective in your grade. No matter how hard you try.

AVOID. Overloaded us w/ hw & a group project he didnt explain at all. Doesnt answer questions or emails, doesnt teach material, does group work with EVERYTHING. Didnt adjust the class at all. Youre doing the whole class yourself. Exams are nothing like hw. Makes weird, awkward jokes and forces engagement. Never explains ANYTHING. Very inconsiderate

Prof. Minot is an okay professor. He's usually pretty nice and jokey, though sometimes talks down to his students. Class is mostly working on example problems, and you'll have to teach yourself a lot outside of class. Tons of homework and a big group project. The class does tend to get easier as it goes, though.

Richard Minot is the GOAT! By far the funniest teacher I have had at LMU. The workload is average but he grades really easy. He makes accounting fun and entertaining and you will never be bored in his class. He is full of energy and a great guy.

Useless professor, doesn't teach 1 thing all semester, assumes everyone has read the book, calls on every person in the class multiple times a day, gives a quiz to start every class. All you do in class is him calling on people asking them how to do example problems that he didn't teach. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR

tests are a bit challenging. very fun class but if you don't like to be constantly called on don't take him. also have thick skin as he's very sarcastic. nothing scary it's just be prepared to get called on. he offers a lot of extra credit and u get a test cheat sheet

He's hilarious during class. He knows what he's talking about and has real world experience. He makes it very easy to stay and engaged and participate. Tests are difficult but if you really take the time to study you'll be fine. The homework is not time consuming and very helpful for learning the material. Definitely take his class.

Really difficult class. Even though I spent the most time on this class for studying, I am at risk of failing because the tests are just too hard. Doesn't take you seriously if you ask for help/are struggling. Doesn't provide useful feedback. Claims to "curve" but it is unclear in Brightspace. Really disappointed I got this unlucky

Professor Minot is engaging in class, but in a way that PARTICIPATION MATTERS. Most of his "lecturing" consists of asking students around the room questions and actively solving the problems when we don't quite know the concept yet. It was definitely stressful for me. Exams were also very difficult. All homework is online, though, which was nice.
