LOOKING FOR AN EFFECTIVE PROFESSOR T E A C H E RINSTRUCTORM E N T O R ?
August 12, 2009
My first teaching assignment only a month away, I decided to sit in on a managerial accounting class being taught by Ryan Teeter, my friend and colleague. I couldn’t have made a better move; Ryan was professional throughout the class period and demonstrated to me the importance of reaching out to students on their level. Using real-world examples (e.g. iPods instead of the ubiquitous “widgets”), a relatable sense of humor, and real-time demonstrations of complex concepts (e.g. flex budgets), Ryan made sure that his students were engaged throughout the class.
Having come in at the very tail-end of his class, I could tell that Ryan had spent the past semester establishing a rapport with many class members, most likely through fielding questions and making things easier to understand. If there is one thing I feel that Ryan could improve upon, it would be eliciting concerns from the less vocal class members. However, I only learned that lesson after teaching my own class and falling into the same trap of assuming that silence is equal to understanding.
Were I an undergraduate accounting major at Rutgers, I would take great pains to ensure a seat in Ryan Teeter’s class. He is urbane, sympathetic, and extremely understanding of the student’s point of view, and I wish I’d had more professors like him when I was coming up through the ranks.

In what ways, if any, has this course or the

“Provide EASIER EXAM, extra help outside of classes if at all possible. Different methods, techniques, etc. to encourage and express different styles of learning MORE PRACTICE PROBLEMS AND EXAMPLE EXAM TYPE QUESTIONS TO PREP FOR THE EXAM (which is pretty much being done already it would seem). CHANGE THE LATENESS/ATTENDANCE POLICY. No personal problems with this as I was rarely late or missed class however. Seems entirely too strict though. Absences or lateness should be allowed/excusable indefinitely -- WITH PROPER VERIFICATION/DOCUMENTATION, of course. Also, make the exams easier. Unless the goal is for the exams to purposely be written in a difficult or challenging matter. NO current events (waste of class time in my opinion) ” “I would be more precise with my teaching methods and try not to confuse the students as much. I'd also try to incorporate a lot more typical examples to spur some more interest in the students.” “Make the exams easier” “I would change the exams from CPA exam type to a more suitable exam because there are many students in that class who are not majoring in Accounting and therefore should not be taking exams that are intended for Accounting majors.” “I think would hand out more homework.” “Provide more practice problems.” “Absolutely nothing different.” “Nothing.” “nothing” “nothing” “give students effective review questions for the exams” “nothing. The professor taught it quite well. Thank god, I did not teach myself this course....like other courses w/ other professor.” “Absolutely nothing ” “change the attendance policy!” “I would do more examples in class. Also, before a test, i would do problems that are similar to the ones on the test for clear understanding.” “Nothing.” “I wish they were his test and not department tests because all the teachers probably teach differently.” “the slides were almost exactly from the textbook. I think they shouldn't converge, but instead give a different outlook. then students can bring together what they learned from the textbook to the class lectures and get a great deal more.” “Nothing. It is a difficult course and the professor made it possible to get a decent grade. ” “Teach something else! accounting is boring! Although from what i understand Accounting Profs make a decent salary.” “nothing” “n/a” “nothing” “No myaccountinglab.com” “Maybe take away few questions on the exams. Even though I passed all exams, I didn't' quite get a chance to go through all the questions fully.” “I would shorten the exam, because students don't have enough time to complete it in a class period.” “More in class problems.” “nothing” “Make the tests myself and not use Dahlbergs tests” “more problem examples during class lectures” “do more problems in class. We focused more on slides than on problems. the homework was too long and i would prefer homework on paper.” “not much”

Since this class is only held 2 x a week, we come together to review and have little time left to actual take time out to dive in deeper and answer questions. The class should be less than 15 students.” “Nothing” “i guess i would not depend on just the slides to teach cause it gets lil boring after a while” “go over homework ” “Nothing” “I would provide questions more similar to those on the exams.” “Probably not allow a cheat sheet i feel it encourages me to learn more and pay more attention if i don't have one” “Go more into detail in the lectures. Most of his lectures were teaching the basics while the homework was greatly detailed which made the homework quite confusing.” “nothing” “I would take the time to go over the slides before class so that when I do the examples in class my answers don't very from the slides. In all I would just be more prepared so I wouldn't confuse the students. ” “nothing at all” “I would go over at least one problem per chapter relating to the online homework because format is differs from in class problems.” “Nothing, he gave many real life examples to ease the transition for the students.”
If you were teaching this course, what would you
do differently?

Hope you teach more classes.” “Do more problems in class. ” “None.” “Good professor!” “I don't have much to say, other than the class is great, its been a great experience and Professor Teeter is a cool teacher.” “Understanding professor, with the student's interest at heart. Knows his material thoroughly! Would be nice if he taught other management courses, the department would benefit.” “Prof. Teeter has been the best Accounting teacher I have had...including in high school. It's difficult to apply the concepts in real life and to get your attention, but Prof. Teeter gets the job done!” “Student should not be restrict to sit by floor plan design. 95% of my time in the back of the class I had to hear and look at that blabber mouth student who think she know it all, but could not grasp the concept of PV and FV. There were just more unnecessary comments from a few individual than relative managerial accounting question to do with class and the tests” “Great Teacher! Nice, challenging, favorite out of the entire staff i have experienced! Thanks!” “Great Teacher” “i would just say that the slides are good but he needs to teach some other way too, may be by using the book or just something else personally i feel the slide is boring and i have started to loose interest in the later part of the class” “Great professor and great guy overall one of the best ” “Great Job one of the best professors i ever had” “He's a great, fun, down to earth guy.
