Reviews of professor Sidney Porter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor really knows how to teach Accounting. Being a former accountant allows him to teach students the way lessons are actually applied. The tests reflect your capacity in accounting so if you receive low grades, you should seek more help. If you are an accounting major or anything related to Business, take his course.

Solid choice, can't go wrong. This is an accounting course, regardless of who you choose you will have to work for an A so make sure you READ. Porter gives specific feedback tailored to you. This is a very dense subject but I assure you that if you DEDICATE time to studying, you will do well. If you struggle, ASK FOR HELP, office hours are there!

I literally had a 100% A up until the first test. Test did not cover what we did for hw, and since the % of tests takes up most of the grade it dropped me down to a 70! The course is completely online and the slides aren't any help. It would have been nice to see him cover some problems. I ended up dropping the course. Basically teaching yourself.

Gives extensions. There are about 3 assignments per chapter. There are no lectures. If you have questions, he will answer them. There are four exams and a study guide. Everything is straight forward if you read the book. On the exam you do have to make journal entries yourself. It is good practice.

Such a great professor, 100% recommended, really does care about his students to pass and always encouraging. Very very helpful and always supportive, study good and do the homework you'll be fine, very lean with grading, attend lectures and you'll have a good understanding of what's going on.

ONLINE LEARNING REVIEW His way of teaching online is that he just tells you what chapters to read. He doesn't help much and seems that he doesn't even care at all. If you struggle with numbers and understanding topics just by reading, don't take this professor.

Professor Porter is by far one of the best instructors I've had. He is clear and up front about expectations. As with most things in life, you get what you put in. Prepare for class and do your best on the assignments. If you find yourself struggling, stop by his office hrs. Highly recommended. Complete work on time and study ahead of schedule.

I took his class Fall 2022, it was online and it was not good, hour lecture are lethargic and (FYI we work on a online program McGrawHill, expense $75), I though it was going to be in person since it said (TBD) but it turned out to be online were in reality just use the program, might as well learn on my own. I would rec. online.
