Actual goat. He was goated. Such a funny guy, and really unique class structure. Hit him first class with Warren Buffet's quote that accounting is the backbone of business and it's over. Make sure to build a relationship.

Edward Taylor is the GOAT I cannot stress that enough. Do not take any other professor this guy is THE MAN. No homework, quizzes are straight forward, he tells you what's on the final, and he's a very generous grader. He actually made accounting fun.
