Helped me understand the fundamentals of governmental accounting. It elaborated more on
the concepts learned in advanced accounting.
This course helped me learn about governmental accounting and how it differs from regular financial accounting. I'm really glad I took this course as I believe it broadened my understanding of accounting in general.
This course was taken to fulfull my core requirements of Accounting. This class has successfully helped me to understand Accounting on the Governmental and Nonprofit level. Journal entries were required to remember and study for and it somehow helped me to personally comprehend what journal entries to utilized when purchasing orders, etc.
Governmental knowledge in any area is important in an indiviuals life
The course provided a solid understanding of the major differences that exist between for-profit and not-for-profit accounting.
This course enhance my professional development and knowledge in Governmental Accounting. I'm
starting to take notes to prepare me for the CPA exam. The videos are really helpful.
This course has taught me a different way of looking at accounting from the perspective of a
government rather than a business. I think that taking this course will be beneficial to me because it
gives me the knowledge that can open more door for my future career in accounting.
I learned a lot about the field of governmental and non-profit accounting.
My goal is to work in government and the material we worked on this semester provided me with invaluable information, knowledge, and insight as to the governmental accounting process.
It provided me with knowledge and concepts that would help me in the area of governmental accounting.
This course has been very beneficial to my professional development because my current career is surrounded by this course- governmental accounting.
Since my field is business in accounting, i believe this course helped me enhance my professional development in my major because Governmental Accounting is another step of completing my Accounting courses.
It taught me additional things about accounting that I did not know. I
learned a lot about how government accounting works.
I learned things I didn't know about fund accounting.
We get to see accounting in a whole different dimension.
This course is helping me prepare to take the CPA examination.
this was for my major. I thought that the material was there but I had a hard time
comprehending it because it was both challenging and being an online course, it was hard to
learn on my own.
BUSA 414 gave me exposure for preparations I needed to adjust to, for
future courses and post graduation requirements.
The materials covered will help prepare me for the CPA exam; a big step in my professional goals.
Provided background about government accounting.
I never really considered nonprofit organizations involved accounting. When I think about nonprofit
I think no money, so I don't find any need for an accountant to keep track of financials. However,
through this course I learned a little more of that.
Professor Kamida did the best he could with the limited amount of time to teach the course. I have come to the realization personally that I can't learn near as much in such a short amount of time as in a regualar course.
This course will certainly help me in my career, especially when I will need to take my CPA exam.
I haven't quite figured that out yet.

In class components
I have only one suggestion. I'm not sure what else is out there, but I didn't really care for the textbook we used. It was very difficult to understand (the wording and the way things were phrased). The text also doesn't seem to have enough examples and stories about real-life governmental accounting situations (stories) that can help us relate better. Also, the only two colors in the entire book are black and white. My financial accounting book and the auditing book I'm currently using both make good use of color-coding, colored diagrams, colored emphasis, etc. They also have an ample amount of examples and little stories that help you see how the material applies in the 'real world'. This book has none of that.
I believe that class discussions for this online class should be added to improve our learning in this course. For such reason, this particular subject is a really tough subject to learn and understand. With class discussions, students can feel free to ask each other how to do a particular problem if it is quite complicated for them to follow through. It would be best if students got to know each other and communication can help improve a students learning a little better if they are lost in a specific topic of the text.

I liked the lecture videos. Wish there were more videos on the problems and how to record accounts
on a ledger. Daily emails are very much helpful.
The chapter videos that Professor Kamida helped me out a lot. They helped me better understand
what I was reading in the text, which was a life saver cause the text was pretty difficult to read. I
found that I had to read practically every sentence at least twice to fully understand what they were
trying to say. I also found the answers to the chapter exercises and problems that he provided to be
very helpful as well. They helped me figure things out and kept me on the right track to
understanding the chapters as a whole.
More examples of journal entries & which accounts transactions are taking place in. The textbook didn't always provide all of these, particularly in transactions between funds.
Otherwise, a fair amount of helpful material was provided between the pdfs, powerpoints and videos.
The resources and activities provided are sufficient to be successful in this course.
Additional videos or interactive data, perhaps group or class exercises requiring engaging dialogue with other students.
I think there should be excercises similar to the exam and the test bank for our exams should come out from our excercise solutions.
Mr. Kamida's available resources are more than adequate to learn this subject.
Mr. Kamida's video lectures are helpful, but I wish the lectures can be longer and more detail. Some accounting concepts are extremely hard to understand and the textbook itself is not helping at all.
None
I think some occasional classroom time or study group sessions as a class would help.
At this time, no comments.
NA
Study guides, outlines, summary notes for each chapter. Practice quizzes/exams. Provide correct answers that were still wrong after the 3rd tries.
There were powerpoint slides as well as videos. The book didn't really help that much.
I would love an interactive portion where the teacher had a live online lesson that we could listen to and ask questions. I believe the technology is available.
More homework demonstration.
The only thing that would improve my learning for this class would be to have taken in a class room
setting verses online.

Excellent, hard working, and caring instructor =) Details provided below under "overall evaluation"
Although the material covered in this online course was quite reasonable, I believe the topic itself wasn't all that easy. I am aware of the fact that Professor Kamida is available if any students are in need of assistance, and as far as online class, I really thought that his online infrastructure on the Laulima website was organized with tabs.
I think Roy Kamida could make the exam a bit easier. The exam was really tough to get a good grade on. The homework wasn't too bad, but when it came to the exam, I think most of the class struggled.
I felt that Professor Kamida's teaching method was highly effective, and I have nothing to add.
Again, I liked the videos.
The video lectures could have expanded on the textbook more and provided more info about the field of governmental accounting. Also, it might be useful to have copies of the powerpoints used in the video lectures.
I think that the course is very effective in the manner it is set up right now. On the chapters where some concepts are hard to grasps, more videos explaining the concepts could help.
Perhaps group chats or discussion boards to gain understanding of other students learning level in the course.
I believe that Professor Kamida has a very organizing method on how we should do our homework and our exams. He gives us 3 chances to get our excercise solutions higher, and he gives us 2 chances to try to achieve a better exam grade.
It was a standard course. I learned a lot and it was helpful.
n/a
Longer video lectures.
None
Making this a classroom class would be very helpful and make it easier to learn the material
At this time, no comments.

Continue providing videos. It is very helpful to have a playback video where you can access it anytime, pause, and go back to it. I like how you break-up/space out the lessons throughout the semester. However, summer semester can be hectic.
I think maybe find a better book. I found that I barely used the book and the powerpoints helped a
little more.
Professor Kamida did a great job!
It is a very difficulty class to be taken during summer. I wish I had had more time to go more in depth of the material covered.
The teaching style is great, but the amount of material covered over a 5 week period is very
overwhelming for an online 400 level class.

Good instructor. Explains the material in video lectures well.
Very effective instructor. I would highly his class to other students. Great job!!
Professor Kamida was fair when it came to homework/quizzes. Since it's summer, we are all aware of the fact that the pace will be double times faster than a regular fall/spring semester course. I am glad that he told us in advance that the quizzes/homework come straight from the textbook. All we have to do is study and he gave us at least three attempts to reach our best possible score. Accounting is a really difficult subject and I am glad that Professor Kamida gave us the opportunity to take our quizzes without time limit.
Good, very knowledgeable about the subject.
I believe that Prof. Kamida did a very good job in setting the pace of the course in a shortened summer semester. Prof. Kamida effectively used the time to teach the course considering the large amount of complex information that this course contains. I believe that the method used to offer the quizzes and exams was highly beneficial because it encouraged me to go back and learn the information that I had a weak understanding of.
You made this class less stressful compared to other classes I've had.
He is a great instructor! I took another one of his accounting classes at LCC and I really enjoyed it.
At that time I was pretty apprehensive about taking an accounting class online, but his teaching
methods and resources he provided made it fairly easy to be successful, so when I saw that he was
offering a class at UHWO I decided to go for it! I was kind of scared at first just because it was a
summer class and those pack in so much work in such a short period of time and also because I had
heard that Governmental Accounting is one of the hardest classes to take, but I because of my past
experiences with Professor Kamida I figured my chances were pretty high of passing. I also got to
volunteer at a VITA program under his supervision and that was a fun and successful experience as
well.
Ok. The extra reading articles were interesting.
I've taken several courses from Professor Kamida and he is an excellent instructor. His PowerPoint lectures are so helpful and he makes the extra effort to help all his students succeed in his class. He is always accessible and responds to e-mail questions and concerns, usually within minutes, but always within one hour. I am so grateful for his dedication to his students and their welfare.
He is a great professor. He is very knowledgable about the materials covered in the course as evident in the lecture videos provided. The videos were very helpful in understanding the concepts and principles covered in the book.
I enjoyed Roy Kamida's course as he clearly outlined the course description and provided real life stories and examples within the course.
A+
Professor Kamida's class messages, video lectures, and other learning materials enhanced my overall learning experience. I learned a lot about governmental accounting and accounting in general in this class.
Roy Kamida answers back to messages on time and he's pretty lenient with his grading and gives extra credits to boost our grades up because honestly, i believe this class is kind of difficult.
He responds to questions in a timely manner. Good teacher from what I've
seen.
Mr. Kamida is a great teacher. He is approachable, very knowledgeable about the subject, and accommodating.
I will give a an "A" for sure. He started off the semester with an accounting 101 review. Not only can the review refreshes our memories, it also help us see the similarities between financial and governmental accounting.
He cares for the success of his students. He posts questions and answers that other students have asked so that everyone can benefit from them.
He's a good professor but the fact that it was online made me not enjoy this class.
Difficult course to master, Professor Kamida did a good presentation of
course.
Effective lesson plans and did great keeping the class updated as to what was expected. I like that grades are kept current so I could see my standing in the class.
Great teacher. Very organized. Love his videos and how he explains. Keep it up!
he is very organized.
This course was very hard to begin with, but it was bearable with the amount of resources that were
provided.
I really enjoyed the course with Professor Kamida.
He is a very knowledgeable teacher with a lot of experience in this field and he also provides information on the Governmental accounting for Hawaii. I really liked his videos. The lectures were very helpful.
I enjoy Professor Kamida, and I liked that he brought in current outside examples and sources for
us to relate to. The class is just overwhelming for 3 months put into 5 weeks for someone who isn't
very strong in accounting.

Good course but sometimes difficultnto grasp material
I like how all assignments and exams are open from the beginning of the course so a student may
start the assignments or exams at their own pace.
Being that this was a summer course (accelerated), and the fact that I'm taking two concurrent summer courses and working full-time, this class is pretty challenging. However, Professor Kamida made the material as easy to understand as anyone possibly could. He has really great video lectures and other supplementary material to help in the learning process of a pretty difficult subject. Although I didn't email him with any questions, he made his responses to other students' questions (anonymously) available for us all to benefit from. It appears that he replies very promptly and has an honest desire to teach us well and to help us succeed.
Like I have mentioned, this course is quite hard even having to understand the book was quite complicated. The textbook chosen wasn't all that interesting because it was in the format of black and white text and no pictures or as much examples given like other accounting textbooks I have bought in the past. I guess the textbook made the subject even tedious than it is. However, I learned a great amount of material, despite how hard it is to remember the journal entries at a fast pace. Overall, this course was straightforward and some quizzes are hard but its a good thing we have several attempts offered to raise our grades. In addition, the exams are all the same format and Professor Kamida is right when he informed us that it'll be harder than the quizzes. I know that the exams are the hardest part of the class itself because random questions are thrown at you and you have not as much time to look for the right answers since it is timed.
The course is very helpful.
A very beneficial course that provided me with knowledge of a far different form of accounting.
Wish this online class was offered in-class during the summer.
This course was hard and at MANY times was very confusing because the way of thinking about
accounting is different from the way I have always been taught to think of accounting. It took a lot
of time and patience to understand the subjects of this course. But even with all that said, I enjoyed
it! Accounting is one of those subjects that I don't get bored of. I learned a lot and even with all the
frustrations that came with it, I had fun!
Good. Informative.
I would definitely take any class that Roy Kamida offered because he is an excellent and knowledgeable professor who sincerely cares for his students.
I believe that the course was effective in teaching me the basic concepts and principles of governmental accounting.
This course has helped me exceed in my professional development because it has allowed me to gain a better overall understanding of the financial world in the governmental aspect.
Excellent.
I enjoyed this summer course because it helped me got a sense of accounting.
Good course.
I learned alot.
Tough ... tough ... tough! By the time I understand the concepts in chapter one, the semester is almost over.
This is a good class to take if students are planning to go forth and sit for the CPA examination in the future. It covers material that will be seen and the questions that may be similar to the homework and exam questions.
Average. I don't like online courses.
Due to extreme course material, I would prefer to take the course for a full
semester and not as an accelerated Summer session. I needed more time to
absorb information.
Well structured course. I learned a lot.
Great class. Its very interesting to learn about govermental accounting.
good class
This course was very difficult, however it was bearable and never really stressed me out in any way.
As mentioned before, maybe a better book.
Great given the amount of time we had for the course.
Excellent, I just wish more time to cover the material.
I felt the course was confusing coming out of financial accounting and felt that it was difficult.

Tough like any other Accounting Subject, Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting has helped me advanced my knowledge in different depths by journal entries and how the government takes on distinct transactions. I just want to thank Professor Kamida for providing us the materials, powerpoints, lectures and emails during this summer class, for it has helped me better my learning. Since I am not doing quite well on my exam, I am happy to hear that Professor Kamida will give us the opportunity to raise our grades with extra credits. I will be sure to not take these extra credits for granted because it will be a big help for me. Moreover, I am glad to be a part of this summer course and I hope to take any other Accounting class with Professor Kamida online or in class in the nearer future.
I am very pleased to have taken this course with Prof. Kamida, and I would be happy to take another of his courses in the future.
Would be nice if it was possible to cover the other chapters.
It was helpful that all material and assignments were made available at the beginning of the course.
Thanks Professor Kamida.

The videos about the chapter and some of the problems were an excellent resource. It is good to get further clarification and a different point of view.
Love his lecture video. He explains it well. I have the option to review his video over and over. He takes time to answer email and share questions and answers with the class.
I enjoyed the course and the topics covered. I am glad I chose this as one of my concentration requirements.
BUSA 414 should be also offered in the fall and spring for students who can't afford to take the class during summer and the short rush semester.
My main gripe is with the text book. I found it incredibly difficult to read and understand. I would highly recommend finding another book that is more accessible and concise.
I didn't like the textbook, I thought that it was rather vague when it came to examples, but it
expected you to know how to do the problems and exercises with nothing to go off of but a few
sentences.
