Took him over the winter course for Accounting I BMGT220. It was an accelerated 3-week course so there were lots of long lectures that we bored lots of the time. He knows what he teaches and is very smart and insightful which is what causes him to go on random tangents or talk about random companies rather than the topic at hand. The class had fairly easy homework assignments that he allowed multiple attempts on which were easy grades. However, the rest of the grade was split between 3 multiple choice question exams. For whatever reason, he does not do A+ grades and he does not do A grades unless you get 94 OR ABOVE in the course which is weird because I have never seen a teacher say a 93% is an A- but in his class, it could cost you. He does not round to the nearest percent either. Although you should remember this is Accounting I so overall he was a very good teacher and you can expect a good grade if you try. Would take him again over the other teachers probably.

Professor Cantor is a very nice guy but his teach tends to be very boring. What he does during lecture time is go over workbook problems which is good but your exams will almost always be more theory based. I felt like I learned more in the discussion section quizzes than I did during lecture. You end up talking about the Wall Street Journal far too much during class and less about actual accounting problems.

Professor Cantor is the nicest and best professor I've ever had at UMD. For the business minor, he has the students watch lecture before class and do the workbook problems during class. If you participate and do the work, it is an easy class. He gives out extra credit on the exams and curves them nicely. He understands students needs and makes lectures fun with his skits and stories.

Eugene is a G! His class got boring sometimes but he ultimately wants his student to learn the foundations of accounting. the final was noncumulative and the homeworks and other assignments were very easy to complete. he does in class problems and posts solutions online so you always have a resource, and his TAs are super helpful

Professor Cantor is the best professor that I've had at Maryland. He loves teaching and is a great guy. 417 is a tough course with a lot of boring material but he makes it fun. His wife bakes the class cookies every week which is a huge plus. Cantor wants his students to learn a lot and he will make every effort to help students out. Great professor, Great guy.

Professor Cantor was really awesome. He tried to make some very dry material as interesting as possible. He has a lot of background knowledge and prior experience that he draws on in class. The exams (open book and note) and the final project were very tough, but he curved some of the exams, and the project had a lot of real-world applications. His wife also made cookies for us, which he brought to class every week and made our 2.5 hour-long class more bearable. If you pay attention in class and study for the exams, you should do fine. Professor Cantor was a very effective and fun teacher.

Professor Cantor is one of the best professors I've ever had at UMD (and not just because he brought his wife's chocolate chip cookies to every lecture). He genuinely cares about the students and the material, and he makes what would otherwise be a completely boring lecture surprisingly interesting. I am not a person who attends many classes; but I did my best to attend every single one of these, because I genuinely learned something every time. He also is the only professor to actually talk us through the CPA exam, which is incredibly helpful (he actually teaches CPA reviews, so he really knows his stuff). If at all possible, take him for anything and everything you can.

Professor Cantor is the best I ever had at Maryland. I really regret that I did not take him for BMGT323. He is very nice and flexible with students. Also, he is great at explaining the difficult concepts. I love the cookies that his wife made. For the record, he is far better than Pfeiffer. Take him if you can.

This class is one of my favorite Accounting classes in CP! For a three hour class, he was really entertaining! On top of that you got free cookies :D. Grades are based on 10% In class Assignments 30% Midterm 30% Final 30% Simulation Our Umd understates the number of A's he gives out, its closer to 55%, which is 9% more than Pfeiffer. You will do a much better job on the CPA if you take him over Pfeiffer. I learned a lot from this class, but the exams arent easy.

Best professor I've had at Maryland. Cantor really wants his students to do well. He provides the class with a ton of resources and can always answer any questions (he's super smart). He also brings homemade cookies to every class. Highly recommended!!
