Reviews of professor Jonathan Pittard

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Does random attendance checks. Communicative& always willing to help. Approachable& a young professor. Midterm&final is your major grade but curves which will help but still need to study. Slow to input grades in. Group project which is fairly doable

Inspired me to pursue a CPA. Super succesful ($$) and experienced in accounting industry + business in general. His lectures are interesting but the content is dense. Cengage exams are hard and you are on a time crunch so make sure you understand the HW perfectly before. Gives a lot of context with real examples from his work.

Teaching isn't his day job and it shows. he brings in a lot of real world experience and exams from the accounting world in order to help prepare you into becoming a CPA. 
There isn't a "curve" but he will weigh assignments differently because not everyone is great at exams.

(Wint 2022) This class ran on WileyPlus, which was used to access the textbook and do the required homework. The professor cared about our learning, so there was no busy work, though we had one simple term project. His lectures were interesting, and he could answer any question about the accounting world. The WileyPlus exams were very hard.

Prof. Pittard is a charming and knowledgeable teacher. He cares about students and enjoys helping them. One of the best professors at UCR! Group project is to file a tax return based on the case he gave to the class. Work ahead and ask him to check during his office hour and your team should be fine. Tests r curved but grades a bit slow though.
