This course felt like a little more in depth version of 221, there was a good mix of old topics, extensions on old topics, and new topics. I would say that overall, the course is structured to be very fair grading wise. He offers practice exams that are very similar to the actual exams and uses examples in class that will be on the exam. I did well on both midterms with an A and just using the practice exams and lecture notes to study. He also offers a lot of extra credit opportunities that can help boost your grade. He had a policy where his course was “flipped” so all homework and extra assignments were always due at 2PM before class on the day he was supposed to lecture on the associated material. It was very hard to rely only on the textbook for complicated homework assignments and his personalized “case projects”. This is where I struggled the most with my understanding. So you basically only came to class after your assignments were done. Which of course, led a lot of people not to show up at all especially since his lectures were extremely boring. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend taking this course with Loeb if you can avoid it. There is a ton of homework (especially at the end of the semester) and the case projects are so tedious without having him lecture on the material first. His lectures can get very boring, he mumbles and is very hard to hear, which just make for a not very engaging experience. |

He is very smart and kind. He gives each student 2 extensions to use no questions asked and makes a lot of jokes in class. Class can be a little boring but if you become friends with your groupmates it helps a lot. |

Super nice professor and very understanding. He is also incredibly smart, look him up on Google he has a Wikipedia page on his research. The homeworks are due at 2pm before class which is sometimes annoying but he is also very flexible if you ask him for an extension on homeworks and projects. Tests are very similar to the practice that he gives so if you study those, you will do fine. Although the tests are all written word problems and few multiple choice, he gives a lot of partial credit. I would recommend making friends in the class because although he is a nice professor, the work can get tedious. He also gives A LOT of extra credit during class for jeopardy and group activities. I would give him a 4.5 rating if I could |

Marty Loeb is such a sweetheart. He is a nice guy who loves making little jokes which often fail, but because he can't tell jokes it's hilarious. Lectures are boring, but if you are an accounting major it should be interesting. If not, the material is easy enough to review on your own to still do well since some of it is a 221 refresher. He gives plenty of bonus points and exams are very fair. I love Marty! |

Professor Loeb is a nice man and means well. He's flexible with due dates, responds quickly to emails, and gives a lot of opportunities to earn bonus points. HOWEVER, none of that makes up for how awful it feels to sit in that classroom for lectures. I find the class itself boring, particularly because it is just a review and a small extension of what we learned in 221. His voice is boring, he makes tiny jokes that no one laughs at that just make the room uncomfortable, the slides are difficult to understand, there's a group assignment for nearly every lecture, which is difficult to do sometimes because no one pays attention in the class. The MyLab homework assignments are very very long sometimes, but that is not factored into when they are due. |

I will agree that he is both a reasonable and kind professor. However, his lectures are insanely boring and very hard to stay engaged with. Moreover, sometimes class time will be allocated towards him going over a problem. Occasionally, it can take up to 45 minutes to complete one problem and at times it appears he is unfamiliar with what is going on. Sometimes it even feels like he is in his own world and could just keep lecturing for hours. Nonetheless, he is a really smart guy but does not have the social skills possessed by most professors. He is very good at giving feedback and responding promptly to questions. He will also give test back very quickly. Overall, in some areas he is worse than the average professor but in other areas he is better. I think the areas he is better at are behind the scenes (grading, feedback, emailing, etc.). |

He is a reasonable and kind professor. However, there are so many homework assignments and the lectures and boring and hard to follow. Thankfully, there is a lot of extra credit and the class is pretty easy. I did like how we were put into groups for the semester and had group assignments. We even did accounting Jeopardy and that was fun. For the exams, just review his slides and be able to do the practice problems he assigned throughout the semester. Reviewing the textbook or homework questions would NOT be helpful. |

One of the worst professors at UMD. |

Nice guy, very generous grader, but just not cut out for teaching. Very, very quiet and mumbles often. No doubt he's a smart guy, but the class was unbearably boring. |
