Comment:

Professor Sweeney was the worst professor I have had. She was not nice or helpful at all. She seemed to talk down to me in several incidents, she made me feel really stupid. Her method of teaching is horrible. She is all over the place and unclear. She taught this accounting class as if this was my profession and I needed a refresher course.

Comment:

One of the most unreasonable professors i ever had. I really hope she gets fired and can never teach again by how mean and derogatory she is to her students. She never gives help, and when you fail at something doesn't care and blames it on the fact that you can't read or are stupid. DO NOT TAKE HER!! I give her a zero at even being a decent human

Comment:

She is pretty good at lecturing. She gives a healthy amount of work: Homework after every class, 3 exams, weekly quizes, cumulative final and a project that is way too difficult for an intro course. She is terrible at responding to emails so if you need help make sure you ask during class because she also runs out of class at the end.

Comment:

She's actually a really nice lady. I dropped accounting and still did well in her class, you just really have to pay attention the first time she goes over the problem. Then you're kind of on your own but nothing TOO bad. Tells you what's on the test a week before!

Comment:

She doesn't actually teach you anything. Puts completed wouk on the board but doesn't explain how to get the answers. She doesn't break down the material at all. She expects you to learn on your own from the text book and doesn't correct the homework so you don't know what your doing wrong until you take the test. AVOID at all costs.

Comment:

Grading is hard. Three people dropped the class. If you are not an ECONOMICS major I would not recommend taking this class. Blackboard is more realistic and the class should be taught more on this level, and theory should be kept as such. How can you get low scores even on a discussion board?

Online course. It was an easy course. She makes you write in discussion board on Bb every week. In all my dealings with her she was nice and willing to help. Four quizzes, midterm, final, and term paper.

The material itself is not difficult to understand but the tests are hard because there is ALOT that you have to remember. Prof. acts like group project is no big deal but is not lenient with the grading of it

Comment:

I would say If you have to take cost this is who you should take.You will take 3 tests (which she gives you the questions for) and some quizes (which are only to help if you dont do well on the tests) and a group project(which seems to be the thing to do now). She explains everything to you, and is very helpful and sweet. Easy A if you work hard

It was a mandatory class and I made the best out of it. I liked that she posted the answer keys on the blackboard so I could practice the problems on my own.
