I have no suggestion. The class was straightforward and the professor provided lecture videos to help with chapter assignment.
None, I like the course how it is
I'm not sure how teaching this subject is normally done, but something that could help reinforce the necessary topics that isn't just repeating the chapter questions would be nice and feel like less of a drag.
I feel that more videos explaining the content would be a better resource to improve my learning.

17.   Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.
I have no suggestion.
I would have liked it if the last lectures were done by the professor. The change was disorienting as rest of the semester was consistent with its lectures.
None, Professor is responsive and class schedule is very fair
It's the same as before; maybe a little more to make it feel more engaging could be nice. It was still fine but felt bland at times. That could be a symptom of the subject itself though.
I would suggest adding more practice problems because when you took the quiz, you had to interpret and use context clues from the assignments.

18.   My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
Professor Kamida was a great professor. I liked that he allowed us the opportunity to get ahead of schedule. Most professors that I have had opens assignments 1 week at a time. For a working adult, my schedule can be unpredictable and I like to stay ahead of the class to ensure I submit my assignment in a timely manner. Professor Kamida really gave me the opportunity to work at my own pace and I was able to finish the semester early. Finishing early allowed me to refocus on caring for my aging parents.
Professor Kamida's lectures were some of the best lectures I've ever watched. They were packed full of content, presented in way that was easy to understand and follow, and never went off topic.
One of my favorites.
Seemed very cool and nice! I didn't have many questions to ask as the course direction was pretty clear and the work could be answered by the book or slides but felt as though I had no troubles asking for help if I needed it.
My overall evaluation of the instructor is that he was very helpful and provided us with videos and interesting articles and info about the accounting profession.
Overall, this instructor was very easy to work with, gave clear instructions for what needed to be completed, always sent announcements on recent news, and updated the grade book regularly.
Great teacher, his lecture videos were great.
Video lectures helped to understand the chapters. Very informative.
Professor Kamida was able to give clear instructions via the syllabus and announcements tab in Laulima to provide all students with a straightforward navigation experience
that the instructor understands that his students are busy and truly acknowledges the school and work life balance
Very knowledgeable and the course was well planned for learning and understanding of the material
All chapters are well planned throughout the semester.
Very good!
Very good
A well organized and knowledgeable course great for online.
Lecture videos were a little outdated, but still easy to follow. Highly recommend his class! I enjoyed the additional articles shared throughout the semester.
