Joel Shapiro

Prof picks on you in class and will grill you if you get it wrong. Class has a tense energy because of this. Course itself isn't that difficult as long as you practice. Sets tests on weekends non negotiably. Avoid if possible.

This is my third review because the prof keeps deleting it but I won't stop posting to let everyone know that no one should take him at any cost. Every student must avoid him if they care for their grade. You can take any other prof for this course but not this person. Let's see if this review gets deleted or not.

I was in the Chang school version of ACC100 and his emails are rude, he barely explains the content in his videos which are from several years ago and have not been updated. He does not care about your performance in his course and puts tests on weekends and does not allow you to miss because of work commitments. Avoid him at all costs.

so rude, so unprofessional, and very mean. if you hate people maybe don't teach??

The course itself wasn't hard, but Joel made attending class unbearable. He constantly belittles students, yelling at them if they get a question wrong and even hitting a student's chair with a cane. He refuses to use slides and starts class by saying how useless we are. My biggest piece of advice is just to use the textbook to learn the material.

This man needs to retire, he changed my classroom twice because he could barely move around, see anyone, or hear anyone. He straight up insulted people for asking questions or not knowing an answer to a question, and also uses an elmo and printed out sheets of paper for lecture (which you can barely read). do not take him

Very friendly proff, and makes funny jokes. Don't listen bad comments. Best to attend lectured because he gives good tips

he calls on you in class and then will yell "NO" or "WRONG" in your face if you answer incorrectly. this is a course that you will have to teach yourself via his horrible textbook and then in class he'll tell you to not do it the way the textbook says. there are no slides. he has 3 hours and spends half of it on 3/5 examples and then dismisses you

Just watch accounting videos online. This guy is unbearable

He is genuinely brutal and has no respect for students or well being. He is extremely aggressive and yells at you without reason. He called our class slow, mentally challenged and illiterate multiple times a semester -- then complains to why nobody shows up to class. The super quizzes were ok. Exam average was 40% on the exam. Don't take him EVER
