Pretty solid professor. Class is pretty straightforward and consists of just lecturing from the slides. The class is heavily based on the textbook just because you can't really memorize tax, so you just look up whatever you need to know. That being said make sure to read the chapter at least once so you know where to look. Assignments are just connect smartbook and connect HW assignments. |

He reads directly from slides and the online textbook to us during class. So you are 100% on your own to understand the material. He also just decided that our exam I is next week without any other advance notice so yikes. If you are ok learning on your own and doing nothing/other stuff during class then this is the class for you. I would not recommend this professor at all. |

Do not take this class with this professor- Leslie Mostow. He doesn't teach anything. TA does most of the work. TA made up questions for midterms and final. TA graded exams and submitted grades. TA prepare tax project. TA worked out problems in class. TA answered emails and discussion. The professor was pretty much let TA do whatever in class. Even though the professor lectured but TA gave exams so things were like: teach A, test B... didn't work out for students. We (me and other classmates) dont even know what the professor do in the class. He does not teach anything, You are on your own 99% of the time. Almost forget to mention, the 1st midterm was given during the 2nd week of the semester, so be prepare to fail if you want this kind of challenge! |

Professor Mostow is a pretty funny and interesting guy. The material is not by any means easy, but the class is structured well enough that you can learn a lot and do well. You have homework on Connect practically every week and in the end there is a tax project, which is very good to put into practice what you've learned. He grades the project pretty leniently. The exams (4) are not easy, but not overly difficult, and he'll be sure to tell you in advance what's going to be on it during the review sessions right before the exam. In class, he basically just reads of the power points and does some exercises, so it's not the most interesting thing, but it's still useful to attend. Overall, I really enjoyed taking this class with this professor, and I think you will also if you decide to take it. |

Professor Mostow was a pretty funny and interesting teacher, although the class material was a bit dry. The class was really structured, with homework every week, so if you studied on your own you might not have to pay that much attention in class. I would definitely pay attention during the class period right before the exams because he pretty much goes through the exam questions and tells you what topics to study. He also gave a lot of opportunities for extra credit and graded the final project very, very leniently. Overall, he wasn't an overly difficult professor, and he made the class interesting and pretty easy to do well in. |

I have had Professor Mostow for two different courses (BMGT323 and BMGT310), and his teaching style was very similar for both courses. He typically reads off of the PowerPoint presentations that are provided to him by the book publisher in one lecture, and does practice problems in the next lecture. He does not like to use the board to explain problems, but is friendly in trying to help students with any questions. I did not like his teaching style, but if you read the book and do the homework, you should be fine. His review sessions before the exams go over exactly what you need to know, so make sure you go to reviews. If the class did not have any points awarded for attendance, I would have only showed up for the review sessions. Overall, it is clear that he is extremely knowledgeable in the field of accounting, but I felt that he was not particularly good in conveying his knowledge to the class effectively. If you are able to learn from the book, you will do fine in his class. If not, I would suggest taking this class with another professor. |

Class is really hard not going to lie. Accounting is a hard subject so you can't really blame this guy. He tries his best in teaching the subject, but its better you don't attend his lectures because he reads off powerpoints. If you want to learn accounting you have to read the book otherwise find a different professor. |

Professor is the best teacher I ever met!!! Very funny guy and we end up being very good friend! Let's put aside all the other good things about him, just one thing you need to know about his class: Make sure you go to the class right before midterms and the final, then you will get something.... that is extremely useful for your exams! Haha, just go to the review class before his exams, you will know what I mean! Take his class!!!!! |

If you thought Pfieffer was bad, then wait till you get this guy. Just the same boring guy as Pfieffer, only his tests are completely different from any of the homework or practice problems. |

Honestly, you have to read and attempt to understand the material before you arrive to class. If you do, you will find his lecture actually helpful. Being the second semester taking Mostow, i do see going to class useful. He is very knowledgeable, maybe not the best professor but he does know what he's talking about. If you have a question, the best option is to approach him personally. His test are parallel to the material, they are hard but if you're going for the CPA then you'd be prepared. The homework takes a long time to do but if you do them before he finishes lecturing a chapter then its easier to get the hang of it. Overall, accounting is a hard subject don't blame the professor for it!! |

His tests are very easy if you know your material. He doesn't really teach, just reads the power-points that Wiley has provided. You honestly have to teach yourself. Out of 1004 points, the curve was only 25 points; which equates to 2.49% |
