Comment:

Very competent Accounting teacher, and will return whatever attitude you give her. The textbook is required as the homework is assigned through it, and there are a few things not taught in class that you may need to look up on the rare occasion. Have a mobile device ready for class as she will take attendance through online polling questions.

Comment:

Mrs. Breen can be a tough teacher in a tough class. But she absolutely gives all the resources necessary to make a good grade. If you want to actually learn accounting and not just pass, she's the one to take. She will also round grades at the end of the semester! Would recommend.

Comment:

Accounting is a difficult class in general but she gives outlines that she explains in class which the test and quizzes are based off of. She outlines what you need to study before the quizzes and exams. Also, she has flexible office hours and is available whenever it is needed. She is a great professor!!

Comment:

She is a great accountant, but a bad teacher. She goes through so many slides at an alarming pace that it is very hard to keep up with and understand the material with little time for questions. The material she covers doesn't help you with the homework that you are taking hours to do. Find another teacher who doesn't go through a chapter a day.

Comment:

So here's the deal. Accounting is the most difficult/confusing course I have taken periodt, so the professor really doesn't matter. Its gonna be hard either way. You have been warned. Besty Breen expects too much of her students. Print out notes, however, they don't follow the pre-lecture on Wiley plus. Test are hard. Just be ready to grind...

Comment:

SUCH as tough professor! Notes are rushed through and you're expected to be an expert on it and teach yourself before class. Tests are super hard. She constantly tells you how almost everyone fails the class which is pretty discouraging. If you have skilled accounting knowledge she is a good professor, not for beginners because she moves SO FAST

Tests were super hard and there was so. much. homework. I made a 69% in her class. Fill in the blank notes, doesn't post notes on canvas, lecture heavy, & no extra credit. Taking ACCT2121 right now for Summer 1 and currently have an A. Current prof makes account fun (WHAT?!)... I wish I took my current professor instead of Prof. Breen for sure.

Accounting is a hard class to teach, but the pace of this class was too fast. she expected you to do way too much out of class and she gives a quiz every chapter. this is one of the hardest classes I've taken at Charlotte.

Comment:

She is one of the best professors Ive had. I like how she gives us the lecture notes with blanks to fill in before class so we dont have to write the notes down word by word. Theres a good amount of homework but nothing excessive and a lot of the homework problems have tutorials with them. If you put in the work for this class you'll be good.

Comment:

Breen is an excellent professor. She takes a subject that can be boring and for many, very difficult, and makes it interesting and easy to learn. She has a passion for the subject. Reviews say it's a hard class, but I think you just have to be a good student. She can come off as snippy, but she just doesn't tolerate slackers or bad students.

Betsy is very resourceful, she knows what she's talking about and is always willing to help. Her ACCT I class definitely feels like two classes with the difficulty of accounting, and the homework. Tests are hard so spend more time studying than usual!

Comment:

She expects you to fill out 10 page lecture outlines before you come to class, and as a result moves fast and does not repeat herself. She reads directly off the notes too and just fills in the blanks. Gives a lot of HW and the timing can be harsh sometimes (we once had HW and a project dueon the same night, and a quiz in class the next morning).

Comment:

Professor Breen is amazing. 2121 and 2122 have a decent bit of homework and can be tough but nothing excessive. Her lectures are very clear and she is happy to clarify things. She is very easily accessible outside of class. She was very helpful with any questions or issues. Take her class! I'm glad I had her for both classes.

Comment:

She has to look at her notes to make sure she's right when teaching, not sure if she doesn't know what she's talking about or if she's too smart to teach. She's pretty sarcastic and not much help when you ask for it. A lot of homework and the tests are really hard even if you understand the material. Wouldn't recommend

Solid professor who knows what she is teaching. I don't know what people are talking about when they say this class is difficult. If you actually do the homework and study a reasonable amount it is fairly easy. Only complaint is homework was sometimes uploaded like a day before it was due. Take this professor.

Comment:

I've talked to people in other sections and they don't get as much help as we do (notes, quizzes that resemble the test). Humble, helpful, kind, wants you to do well, grades on curves when needed, extra credit points. She's a real gem and makes you feel known even in a large class.

Professor Breen is my best professor yet. A professor that actually knows what she is talking about. The lectures are super helpful and she gives lecture outlines so note taking is easier. There are a lot of online assignments, as long as you keep up with those and study for the tests, this is a good class.

Comment:

While accounting is generally a difficult class as long as you pay attention and do you homework you will be fine. Far too many of my fellow students used chegg or other services to complete there homework and suffered because of it. If you pay attention and do all your homework you are sure to get A's or B's on the tests.
