Reviews of professor Derrick Hamilton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I passed accounting 1 with an A+, but this class is a different story. He does not teach in a clear and instructive way. He expects students to learn from videos and then writes the answers on the board. He gets an attitude when we don't understand. He also went back and changed my homework grades from 100 to 40 mid-semester for no reason. Avoid!

He does a great job of working with your schedule and what not as long as you make an effort. Also does a great job of grading your work for partial credit

Perfect teacher for ADHD if there ever was one. Fun guy. If you can do homework, choose him. Any notes, hw, or class problems serve as study guides- everything is a relevant example. Problem examples in class are clearly written and color coded. He doesn't give busy work. All killer no filler! My advice would be do all hw and rewatch the office.

Goes off topic ALL the time. Doesn't care about if students learn in class.

He was the WORST teacher ive ever had. I took accounting in highschool and loved it, but Hamilton expects you to teach yourself , doesnt explain, gets upset if you ask questions, and to top it off, its his first semester teaching. If he sees the students arent getting the material he quizzes us. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

I have taken professor Hamilton for Accounting 1010 and 1020, I am glad I did. He always made sure questions were answered and always said there was not such thing as a dumb question. If you email he for help he will do his best to guide you through problem areas. I appreciated his teaching style because it showed he cared if you tried your best.

If you're looking for someone that will teach you, this isn't the guy for you. His teaching method is for you to teach yourself the material outside of class, know what material is important, and understand how concepts are related all by yourself. Class is spent going over examples and practicing, which is what I'd prefer to do outside of class.

Just dont take this guy. It'll make your life easier. He has no clue what he's doing. Teaching is not this guy's calling. He gives 0 context to the material he teaches and instead just does examples. You can't apply these examples however without context

This may have been his first semester as a professor, but that is no excuse to do your job as poorly as he did in my opinion. Tests are rarely like the reviews, expects homework but rarely checks it, and when he does it's to make sure that you did it (not accuracy). Make sure that you remember every little detail of the notes that you have to take.
