Comment:

Millenials are going to hate her, why? Because she makes you earn everything. She's strict, tough, and is no non-sense. But you will learn accounting that will help you pass the CPA. She doesn't give cookie-cutter exams that are rehashed textbook examples with different numbers. Oh no, her exams are mindtwisters and you better know your stuff.

Strict teacher. Scared me. Did not go well with my pseudo-slacker attitude. Had to take her class twice if I remember. Hard material, Hard Teacher.

Comment:

I got A's in accounting in High School and then got Stewart for 201. She "teaches" straight from PowerPoint. Um, this is ACCOUNTING, you have to actually teach the material! I did all the homework and did it correctly yet couldn't pass the tests. I withdrew from the class along with more than 50% of the class. AVOID THIS TEACHER!

Comment:

No matter what you've heard she's really a decent professor. I'm horrible at math and I managed to get a B. 3 exams (highest grade out of the 3 exams counts double) & a final. She's more than fair- she's willing to change her grading policies to benefit students in need. Teaches from ppts, but all are very clear. No attendance or graded hw.

Comment:

She is extremely smart and knows what she is talking about. Honestly, non accounting majors shouldn't take her for principles. Most don't have the work ethic and/or drive to do the work required. For advanced, do the homework, study a lot, and do the practice exams and you'll pass.

Comment:

LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY NOT TO TAKE HER!!! It was nearly impossible trying to understand stewart. She speaks very softly and reads DIRECTLY FROM SLIDES (really fast). It is really hard to learn this way. Not to mention you know shes a bad teacher when she asks a class of 200 a question and not one student is able to give an answer.

Comment:

She's not easy but it's totally possible to get an A in the class without working too hard. Do the hmwk- it really helps. Also, sit close up. She knows what she's talking about and is very approachable. If you really want to learn Principles I, take her!

Comment:

aviod at all costs. reads info off of powerpoints, which she makes you get so you can read it to yourself. going to class is pointless, since she doesnt TEACH, she reads...so passing an exam based on her teaching skills is nearly impossible. do not take if you can, you might as well apply for a position teaching the class if you wind up with her.

Comment:

I don't think there are any "easy' accounting professors bc the material isn't easy. Stewart teaches DIRECTLY from slides. If you do not learn well from slides, like myself, do not take this class with professor stewart.

Comment:

She's an ok teacher, shes pretty straight forward and has a cut and dry sense of humor. She offers help when you need it. Info is cumulative so master the basics; she will advise you to drop the class if your failing. Class is VERY BORING so I'd advise sitting in the front so your right in front of her and it'll make it easier to pay attention.

Comment:

Get the first couple of chptrs down and you'll have it easy. She's seems very conceited and looks frail, but is straight forward. She'll tell you to drop the class and she hates when you come late and go to the bathroom. She'll tell you to take your books and not to come back. I got a B somehow?

Comment:

Very knowledgeable of the material. Class is fast-paced... approximately one chapter per week; we got through 12. I took accounting in HS, so the material was somewhat familiar. 3 tests and a cumulative final. she dropped the lowest test. Be sure to study the course packet and read over the chapters before the tests. I never used the study guide.

Comment:

A straightforward teacher. Eliminates alot of notetaking via a course packet she gives you. If you read the sections before she goes over them and do the study guide after she teaches the chapter then your golden. A maximum consumption of time a week about 3 hours on average give or take depending on exams and such. A great professor. Competant

Material is difficult, not the teacher. She is very helpful outside of class and very clear in lecture. Her notes and old test are Gold!! Study them and gleim. Work hard, go to class, and pay attention, there is no reason to fail. You do know you are in Advanced accounting right?

Awesome teacher! Hard material, she explains it well, much better than the book. Her sheets are very helpful in organizing the material. I learnt a lot, and am glad I took the class. People who complain about her- work hard and stop complaining!

Comment:

Barbara's a little mental. Study her old tests hardest on the first 2 exams along with her handouts.I thought the 2nd exam, on governmental accounting, was the easiest. I hope you can allow ample time to study for her tests. Good students really do fail her the first time around, but with focus and smart studying you can pass.

Comment:

She is very fast so basically you can not understand well. Her whole final was from gleim book and she did not even change answer option But her first and second test had just few questions from gleim. I passed her class with first try. I worked very hard. Make sure you do all of her old tests and then master gleim. You can end up with c.

She is a great teacher! By far, the best I have had at Towson, take good notes and study her old tests and you will do well! Take advantage of her office hours if you don't understand something, she is very nice and helpful!
