  Professor Simitian is a great audit professor. There are alot of homework assignments and quizzes, but they're very easy. The exams are easy as some of these questions are similar to the homework and quizzes. He also gives good lectures too!

  He is really nice and just study the textbook and PowerPoint. Practice the quiz and homework. Do everything and practice them. There is an 80 points project at the end of it. It isn't bad, but just do it early. Ask questions.

  I absolutely loved Professor Simitian. His syllabus makes him sound strict, but he's such a sweetheart. He actually made the topic of auditing interesting and enticing to listen to. The class is test-heavy (3 exams worth 18% each), but if you take good notes and take extra care with the study guide, you'll get a good grade.

  Super fun class and really engaging. Covered a lot of content but he didn't go too fast and kept it really interesting. Would take again. Easy exams if you are decent at math and not too much homework.

  This class was one of my favorites, and the professor's lectures were constantly engaging. The topics discussed reflected what the professor gave in the exam, and the material was easy to understand since the professor could explain it to you in real-life scenarios. Exams are the norm. READ THE BOOK! Chapters are short, and study quizzes and HW.

  I really enjoyed the Accounting 470 class. The class consisted of homework, quizzes, three exams, and an individual project. He uses PowerPoints for each chapter, and posts study guides for exams. Definitely recommend him.

  Grade is based on hw, attendance, project, quizzes, and three exams. Professor goes over study guide for exams. Need to read textbook to understand material. If you don't read or listen to lectures, chances are you will not pass. Great professor and wants you to do well. Just put in the effort and you will pass with at least a B. Grade is curved.

  Professor Simitian was able to integrate his past experiences as an audit partner to make the subject entertaining and easy to understand. Exams are huge and it is important that you do thorough textbook reading to understand the conceptual mc exam qs. Smartbook asssignments took forever though I would grow a beard by the time I was done.

  He is the best professor and lecturer I have had. He is very easy to talk to and his exams are based on the content that he teaches. Do the readings and homeworks and you'll be just fine. Take his class if you can!

  3 exams, 1 project and lots of tedious Connect Hw, which will literally save your grade! Class feels like a complete waste of time. He waits until the last minute to give the study guide which was frustrating, however exams were heavy based on the study guide. Exams are IN CLASS 60-75 questions ON CONNECT using CLASS COMPUTERS. Attendance matters!!
