Koch and Martin are the 'desirable' Accounting I professors. While I can't speak to how Martin teaches the class, the case format makes this class one of the most compelling I've taken at UVa.

Koch is comical and approachable. He will talk through examples in class and make sure you understand the material. I had friends who took 3110 with Banyi who complained that she tested them on material they never learned, etc. None of that nonsense happened with Koch; expectations were clear throughout the course.

Highly recommend him for his enjoyable approach to teaching.

Koch is very clear and funny. The class is structured well.

Koch is the best of the 311 teachers--I base this on my experience with him (which has been completely positive) and the negative experiences my friends have had with the other 311 teachers. Koch is a funny guy and really makes the material clear.

Koch was a great accounting professor. He may not have been the most knowledgeable of all the professors, but he definitely knows his stuff. He's also extremely friendly and approachable, and is happy to help with any problem you have. He was also very accomodating with adjusting assignment deadlines when they conflicted with other ICE classes.

Koch is a great professor and he's very engaging. Cracks joeks during class and keeps you enthused, but also explains concepts very well. HGG (semester-long case) can be a bitch, but that's why it's a group assignment. Research exams are fair and not impossible to do well on. In-class exmas are a little tough, but again, not impossible to do well on. Definitely recommend him.

Not a bad course. If you didn't find accounting 201/202 difficult you shouldn't find this course too bad. Koch explains things fairly well and is a pretty easy grader (he said 40% get A's). The textbook can be a waste of money though. Although its probably useful if you use it, using it isn't really necessary for the vast majority of the course. This is especially true since accounting rules and whatnot are all online.

Great professor! Koch is the funniest guy ever....he really helps you learn the material and tells you exactly what to expect on the tests, and what you dont have to learn. 311 can be challenging at times, but if you work hard than 50% get some sort of A (A+, A, A-)

explains concepts really well

Koch is the best. Take him!

Prof. Koch is awesome. He makes accounting interesting and has a really dry sense of humor. The HGG cases are annoying, the exams are fair, but you have to keep up in the class to do well.
