Reviews of professor Omar Roubi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A lot of people told me professor Roubi was really hard, but he is not bad in my opinion. As long as you study, you can get good grades on his exams. The only thing I dont like is that he makes you buy his online book that he created himself and when you submit the answers to the homework questions, it doesn't tell you if its right or wrong.

This class was pointless. Just read the book yourself and teach yourself the material and you'd be better off than if you show up to his lectures which don't really correlate with what is on the exams.

If you have trouble with self taught material, avoid this class online at all costs. This course was essentially taught only by McGraw Hill. Tutoring would have been super helpful, as this is a conceptual and mathematic heavy course. Business Taxation is not an easy subject to self teach from a textbook.

Omar is fantastic. I took him for management accounting and his seminar class is even better. Hes incredibly caring, his topics are interesting, and he really inspires learning in the classroom. So grateful to have him as a professosr, especially in my final semester of grad school. Hes the kind of professor who leaves a truly positive impact.

Midterms were open book/notes. Final was closed book/notes. Practice problems were not really similar to what was on the final exam except for 1 problem. Final exam had more difficult questions than midterms. And his lectures are videos that don't go over the powerpoint slides -- he just discusses what he decides to type on a word doc.

His lectures doesn't relate to the questions on his exams at all. On the final exam he gave everyone a questions guide to do but the exam ended up having different questions. Beware of his courses and if you do take him you should just study the whole book and do every question in there. You're practically on your own.

I was nervous about taking Omar's class after hearing how hard it was from others, but he was honestly my favorite professor this semester. He simplifies complicated concepts in accounting, and I felt like I actually understood everything after leaving his class.

His lectures aren't lectures they are just like here is a random problem from the book and let's discuss how to do it. No context is given. He doesn't let you use notes on the FOUR QUESTION EXAMS because in the real world resources don't exist, right? Ha. There is no room for error in the class. You fail one test and you're done.

He has his own textbook, concepts are clear, unfortunately with the few practice problems within the textbook there is no way to tell if you are right or wrong. I would prefer if he would use different examples than the ones in the book so that the book problems can be extra practice and not class examples. During lecture he goes fast, watch out
