Reviews of professor Alan Fudge

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Doesn't offer much content support in canvas from class if you have gaps or can't remember something from the lecture. He is big on handwriting assignments and notes in class because it aids in learning but his handwriting is almost completely illegible. It ranges from hard to completely impossible to decipher. Nice guy, but brutal exams, no curve.

Alan honestly does an incredible job at teaching the material effectively and gives insights on the accounting industry based on his own experience. Always keeps the class interesting. He'll say something at the most random times that just makes you laugh. Comes off as a tough professor at the first, but is just an honest and tells it like it is.

The homework is worth 14 points a week while exams are worth 250... The recorded lectureS (yes multiple of them) for final exam studying were literally muted so I could not hear a word the professor was saying. Meanwhile the other review is 100% multiple choice and the exam is only 50% multiple choice. Professor was nice through term but cmon...

He was very nice, but I had to teach myself the whole course. He went off track many times throughout the duration of the class, but he knows what he's talking about. The class is extremely test heavy and there are not a lot of opportunities for extra credit. This class was pretty difficult overall for me.

Alan is not a bad teacher, but I would not take him again given the choice. His lecture style is overwhelming. He leaves no space for questions and his handwriting is unreadable. If you get behind there is no way to catch up except for reading the textbook. However, his homework is very manageable and there are chances for extra credit.

His lectures made it worth coming to class. Alan knows what he's talking about and taught the material in a way that made it easy to understand, even better than the textbook did. He's more than willing to clarify things if you just ask him and he's super easy to talk to. The class was run efficiently and he got the exams graded within 24 hours.

He's a funny guy and he lectures in class very well. Lots of handouts with practice problems that he also posts on Canvas. My 1 issue is that he doesn't explain procedures for the FSA assignments very clearly, leaving you a little unsure on where to start. However the coursework is easy especially if you read through the book and the codification.

I struggle with conceptual stuff, so this class was pretty difficult for me. That being said, Alan was a great professor. Sometimes he would go off and spiral on a different topic, but he always connected it to the class and the material.
