Full Professor of AccountingProfessor

Yazeed is a very competent Saudi Arabian student. He attended my auditing courses, both undergraduate and graduate, while earning his MAcc degree. He has been, by a far measure, the best academically prepared, motivated, and focused Saudi student I have had the pleasure of teaching. He is a natural leader, communicates in English very well, and was competitive with the brightest students in my classes. What I particularly appreciated about Yazeed is his insatiable appetite to learn. He demonstrated high levels of critical thinking, preparedness, and competency in all my classes. I would be honored to have Yazeed as my research assistant. I am willing to provide my highest unqualified recommendation for Yazeed, he is a consummate young professional!
