Comment:

There are only 4 exams in accounting so doing well on all of them is very important to pass. Professor Melis is one of those professors though that actually wants her students to do well. This class is the hardest class I've ever taken at Marquette (stats is up there too), but if you take Melis you have a better chance of passing than others.

Comment:

If you have the option, you have to take Melis, hands down. She makes the class fun (or as fun as accounting can be) by including relevant examples and really diagnosing the information to make you better understand it. Homework isn't required, but if I can give one tip, do the homework before class! It really helps you understand what's going on.

Accounting 1030 is a tough class no matter who you take, but she is the best teacher out of all the ACCO professors at MU. Her notes are very detailed and organized. 4 exams make up most of the overall grade. TAKE HER.

This is an amazing class. Most people found accounting is hard and lots of my friends failed. but you will pass this class very easy with professor Melis if you really understand what she told in class. She is an amazing professor. She talks fast but her lecture is clear. I took her for ACCO 1001 and 1002 and did very well on the test.

Comment:

Professor Melis was one of the best teachers that I have ever had. If you are taking Accounting, Professor Melis needs to be your teacher. As difficult as Accounting may be, she explains the material extremely well and gives countless examples to help you understand the material. And, as a bonus, she genuinely cares about educating her students.

Comment:

Gruber is the best option for financial and managerial accounting. Her lectures are clear, and the standards are set. She clearly spells it out how to be successful in these challenging courses, but you definitely have to work for it. Accounting is a demanding course, but she makes you want to work hard.

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I thought that Accounting would be incredibly difficult but she made it very easy to understand. If you take good notes and pay attention you will do fine. Sitting in the front was really helpful

Accounting is a tough course but Gruber gets you through it. Her outlines give you exactly what you need to know. All tests are standardized for this class and it isn't hard to get an A or AB. Highly recommend Gruber, my favorite teacher so far!

If you have the chance, take Gruber! She is by far the best accounting professor at MU. I was dreading this class, but her lectures are so clear and easy to follow that I have actually started to like the subject. I'll miss her once the semester is over!

Professor Gruber is outstanding! She is by far the best professor I have had at Marquette so far. She genuinely cares about the success of her students. The class is challenging, but she provides you with everything she possibly can - then it is your part to put in the work and time. Certainly possible to get and A if you are willing to work!!!

Comment:

ACCO was rough. You can only easen the experience by taking Ms. Gruber. She explains things clearly and is definitely a good teacher. Tests are hard if you are a slow test taker. Material is easy. Take notes during lectures and listen. She's not a fan of repeating and make sure you've accessed every possible resource before seeking her for help.

ACOO was a rough ride. If you're a business major you gotta take it; you can only easen the experience by taking Ms. Gruber. She explains things clearly and is definitely a good teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Gruber was the best professor I have ever had. If you pay attention in lecture, take good notes, and utilize the extra practice tests available, you will do well. She makes herself readily available in her office hours as well. Genuinely cares about her students and brings some humor to the classroom, too.

Cindy Gruber is the best professor I have had at Marquette. She is so caring and makes accounting easy to understand. Take her class over any other accounting professor. Do the homework before class, read the book and take good notes in lecture. Make sure you do the practice exams before the tests. If you work hard, you will do great.

Comment:

I don't think it's possible to be a better professor than Gruber. Going into this class, I had no interest in accounting, but now it will likely be my major. The class is supposed to be extremely difficult, but I have done well just by doing the homework and listening closely to Gruber's lectures every class. Highly recommend.

Comment:

Gruber is by far the best ACCO teacher. She provides nice supplemental material, such as chapter outlines, practice exams, and the hw problems. Don't need the book. Her lectures can seem a little long and sometimes she goes quick, but so useful. Packs the 50 mins with great info. So helpful for the test. Sit up front, don't skip, & take good notes.
