Reviews of professor Gene Kovacs

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good ole Gene in jeans! Down to earth guy who seems like he hunts and fishes on his days off. The lectures are long and confusing, but he does ALL graded work on McGraw-Hill Connect (take that as you will. YES, exams, quizzes and homeworks without lockdown browser). Take this class for an easy A, he's a chill dude too.

Please avoid taking this professor. He gave me my first c ever. His exams are ridiculously hard. No matter how hard you study the problems in the textbook, this class is impossible. Your grade is dependent on three exams including a final, and a project. He does not care about his students. His office hours are waste of time.

I think he's a great professor. He goes over exactly what we have to do on a test and has reviews for each exam from the beginning of the semester. Connect assignments are kind of hard but not impossible. Strongly recommend him for a professor.

Prof Kovacs makes accounting worse somehow. He is a nice guy who means well, but he is new and goes too hard. There's homework on Connect for almost every class, exams are a joke. Never anything like the homework or what is talked about in class. Awful.

Avoid taking this professor. Gave me my first C ever and does not care about his students. First exam had open response questions that were out of 50-80 points each so if you screwed up one (which you will since they're impossible) you bomb the exam. The tests are ridiculously hard and he harshly grades the group projects

Hes honestly a great guy, he doesnt really give a lot of time on his exams but his study guide/"Chapter review" is basically the same as the actual exam. Just do the easy connects and actually study for the exams and you'll get an A. Dont be afraid to talk to him about something your struggling on too. Btw he will curve exams if your class needs it

I took Kovacs for intro accounting a few years ago - all I can remember is that he was very average. Kind of a boring class if you aren't interested in accounting, but his lectures made sense and he went through examples when needed

He was perfectly fine. Most things were through connect, which isn't hard once you get used to it. Exams were done at home (online) and open book. The group project was difficult, but fine if you have a good group and ask questions/for help. It is very possible to get a B or better, I got an A because my dad (accountant) explained things.

Get ready to teach yourself. He reads off of slides and its so boring that its hard to pay attention. He was happy when the highest grade on an exam was 85% and basically failed everyone on the second exam. If you actually want to learn do yourself a favor and take someone else. Kovacs isnt a professor hes just someone who reads off slides.
