Hunt, Herbert  

This teacher is absolutely terrible. He lectures straight from a powerpoint every class for two hours. His midterms are entirely impossible to get a good grade on and then blames it on the students for doing poorly. Don't take this teacher!

Hunt is a very boring a monotone professor. It is seriously a struggle to stay awake in his class. But then again, how exciting can accounting actually be? He doesn't really teach the material well; I think I benefited a lot more from using the resources from the homework program (Wiley Plus and Orion). His midterms are very difficult, but go into his office hours and he will offer help!

I jumped for joy when I saw that I earned a C- in HH's class. He is very monotone and just reads powerpoints. He does add some insight but he always talks about upper division accounting courses when 214 is a beginning accounting course. This was pretty annoying considering this class was a support course for me so I didnt care about upper division courses. I honestly couldnt tell if Hunt was just a bad teacher or if i just didnt understand accounting. There are better options when it comes to accounting professors.

Hunt was a very fair professor. Financial Accounting is a pretty bland topic so its unfair to expect his class to be fun and entertaining. I learned so much by attending class and doing the homework and studying for a few hours before each test. His assessments were fair and there were no surprises. Take his class if you want to learn accounting.

Professor Hunt is a fair grader and I've learned a lot about accounting in this course. He is very helpful during his office hours, too! Yes, he can be "monotone" to some extent and go off some tangents, but he DOES know what he is doing! Overall, I recommend him.

Not an impossible class but you do have to put in the work if you want an A. Hunt's lectures can be painfully boring, but that applies to most accounting classes. My advice would be to practice as much as you can before the tests. He gives a lot of examples in lecture and posts answers to all the practice problems in the book on PL. Also, take advantage of office hours!

While Professor Hunt's class, like any accounting class, was very boring and hard to not fall asleep in, he is a good teacher. He curved his midterms and final and would delete questions from the midterm that he found were unfair. He was such a nice teacher it would be hard to dislike him. His homework was helpful and he gave us a cheat sheet for all the big tests. I found everything he did to be very helpful and I think he is the best teacher out of all of them for BUS 214. I would definitely recommend taking his class.

This professor is a typical accounting professor. He knows his material and he makes you learn it by the helpful online homework and the many different methods he uses in class. He is boring during his lectures but he really cares about his students and wants you to get a good grade by having the ability to earn bonus points at the end of the quarter as well as dropping your lowest quiz grade. He spends a lot of time at the end of the quarter deciding if he should give you the grade up or not. Be active in class, respectful and stay off your phone and you will be fine. Study hard like in any accounting class and you will do fine. Take advantage of all the study sessions and office hours. It was an easy B for me, but if I put more time in I could of gotten an medium difficulty A. I would recommend Hunt as a BUS 214 Professor.

It really pains me that this guy is a professor in Cal Poly's accounting department. He offers no direction to his students and the entire class is left guessing at what he's talking about and what is expected of us on exams. The thing is - the class's material isn't all too bad. There is a lot of reading and a lot to understand, but with the right professor it can shown logical and shown how it makes sense. Unfortunately, Professor Hunt doesn't seem to care that his teaching style has proven again and again to be unsuccessful. Honestly, its a joke that the Accounting Department continues to let this man teach. They probably have him cancel all his classes during Open House because he would turn away any prospective students in a second. If possible, do not take this professor. If not possible... well brace yourself for a frustrating quarter.

The lectures were very boring, but Hunt explains everything in detail and will answer questions. The tests are half multiple choice and half free response problems which are exactly like the questions in the note packets so make sure you understand those. The multiple choice in the book is also very helpful and similar to the tests.

Professor Hunt is the worst professor I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, if you're an MBA student you don't have multiple sections of courses to chose from and this review won't do you much good because you can't avoid him. On the plus side for MBAs, he had the largest curve I've ever seen in a class and everyone passed. If you're an undergrad, I recommend moving your schedule around to take someone else at all costs. Why is he so bad? - Driest lecturer I've ever had - Did not explain or go through nearly enough examples to aid in student learning - Went on rants about the FASB and his philosophical differences with their accounting policies - The average for our midterms were around 60% with nobody getting an A...INCLUDING a CPA with years of accounting experience! He curved the heck out of them but this did nothing to actually teach us anything, just thoroughly demoralized us. - You practically needed a CPA to understand what his curve and grading scale were going to be. Everyone was in the dark until the final on where they truly stood in the course. - Taught a bunch of financial accounting and hardly any managerial. We're MBAs! We are interested in management but not CFO and Accounting positions. If we were, we'd be taking the Master's in Accounting program. I do want to mention, Professor Hunt is extremely intelligent and seems like a nice guy when you talk to him. He should be leading PhD Accounting and Accounting Research programs, not lecturing to non-accounting majors.

I learned that if I were to take up hunting, I should shoot deer, not bears, because a bear will hunt me back if I successfully wound it. Fascinating! I didnt know that the key to production and operations management was so brutally simple!
