Comment:

You will find this course more difficult if you go to her classes... Just study on your own and practice as much as you can... She will be there to answer your question though. She's knowledgeable enough but makes it difficult for students to understand her

She is really nice and I found her class fairly easy if you put in the effort. She is really quiet so its better if you sit in the front rows

Comment:

Knowledgeable with a good background, but no teaching skills. Her biggest problems are her lack of engagement and poor English. With her use of English, the biggest problem is not her accent, but poor grammar making her meaning hard to follow, thus class is useless to go to (I went to them all, so I know). DO THE ASSIGNED Qs and you'll do well.

Comment:

I like her as a person, but as a prof she cannot teach at all. You spend more time trying to copy down her answers (which she can't even explain properly) than you do actually learning anything . She is all over the place, and the multiple choice on tests are time consuming because they can make you do extensive calculations for just one point.

Comment:

Went to class for the first half of the semester and realized I was not learning a single thing from her lectures.. speaks too quietly and is all over the place. I learnt everything I needed to know from the textbook and slides but don't waste your time with the class it was only helpful when knowing what ex. to use for the group project

Comment:

literally just expected students to learn all the technical stuff in her INTRO classes. All her answers were posted on the slides so you're too busy writing down the answers while she goess off on her explanation that no one hears since she's too quiet. just the textbook and the TA helped me.

Comment:

She will tell the class the course is easy (this is all there is to it!)and you dont need to read the textbook. In fact, textbook is the only friend in this course since there is not much logic to follow in her lectures. She also has difficulties understanding students questions.

Comment:

There is not much logic to follow in her lectures so its easy to lose focus. She loves cracking jokes to get students attention but it only upsets people who already have a hard time understanding her logic. Lectures do not facilitate note taking, and her slides are full of words instead of being concise.

Comment:

Jean Pai goes through material fast and doesn't really go into depth or post class notes. Online assignments and group work are easy, but exams are very difficult. She tells you what types of questions are on them, but I would recommend a lot of additional self-study or David's Tutoring; a thorough understanding of the material is needed to get by.

Comment:

Jean knows the content very well. If you talk to her one-on-one, she can explain it from different angles. She's quieter, but I sat in the middle rows & had no problem hearing her. She is sarcastic which I found really funny. Exams are tough (tests some practice q's) but I find it easier to get an A with her than with other profs due to the curve.

Jean is really nice but she talks quietly and can be tough to follow. Overall her lectures could be worse but they are far from good. She won't make the course tougher than it is but she also wont make it easier for you.

Comment:

Online accounting is extremely straightforward. Simply read and understand the textbook. The outline and direction she gives as to what to read is sufficient to be able to learn on your own. She supplies midterm/final that is exactly like the real thing. Course is 100% curved, but the midterm/final averages around a 60%. So not hard to get an A.

Comment:

The class was an easy A. The group projects are a free 9/10 % with no effort needed, along with the free 10% from online assignments. The labs are pretty pointless, so as long as you spend 50% of the actual class paying attention, you should be able to skip them. If you do poorly on the mid-term, it is easy to use the final to bump up your mark.

Comment:

This class is going to be challenging no matter who your professor is. She does have a thick accent, but she is still understandable. She moves quickly so it helps to print off her power point slides instead of trying to write everything down. You have to do the work and study hard for any chance of getting a good mark

Comment:

Jean is a very nice person, however, she is hard to understand sometimes which makes it hard to keep focus. I learned the course through the textbook, also the labs don't have attendance marks, plus they only go over textbook questions. Just do the recommended textbook questions and read over the chapters if you take accounting with her.

Took Assets with her and it was the easiest class I've ever taken. Material was taught well and the final had no curveballs in it. Great Class!

Nice lady. Bad prof. Midterm was on the harder side of fair, final was out of left field and no one knew what to do. You will end up having to teach yourself most of this course.

Comment:

Not the best proff. Her teaching style is not that great, not very clear in explaining concept, you will have to relearn concepts on your own. But she is a nice person.
