Comment:

Great teacher - take her for 1A-C. Great teaching style. She cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Her picky grading and over use of red pen is very frustrating. Don't try to talk to her about it - she goes into defense mode and will not budge. Ignore it, move on. She finds some one else to pick on.

Comment:

Tipton is the best acctg. teacher. She's very knowledgeable about acctg. You'll learn a lot from her.You really have to study hard to get good grade coz it's not open book. She is much much better than Botsford. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Comment:

Three quarters down the road to accounting & finance major. Ms. Tipton is a great teacher, works hard with everyone who came to ask questions. She sets system to detect plagiarism. She gives you quiz to make sure you read the chapter, hw so you do it first hand, then the test. Your test is your third time doing the same type of problem. No tricks!

Comment:

As an accounting major student took most of accounting classes at DeAnza with many instructors, I would say she is the best! Although she gives a lot of homeworks and quizes, she really explains accounting concepts very well and clear. If you are serious in learning accounting, take her class. Highly recommonded.

Comment:

She does everything she can to help us understand what accountants gotta do in real life. Cracks up jokes to enlighten long class sessions. Warning! She's very strict in plagiarism and she gave a lot of people 0 for HW points this qtr. I like her teaching style which she tries to develop trust with her students, gives extra credit 9% of final grade

She forces you to make photocopies of all your homework. No excel in her class. She also has no web site or e-mail listed on her syllabus. An accounting teacher afraid of computers?

Comment:

She teaches ACCT 1B very strictly. Tests are kinds tricky and so are some of the quizes. She will punish those who don't show up for class by giving a quiz to the rest who are in class so they get the points. It's a weird and strict way of teaching. She doesnt pass back mid terms or quizes...continued

Comment:

She's a nice person, and tries to make this HARD class an enjoyable as possible. Not nearly as clear as i'd wish . EASY POINTS ON HW & QUIZZES. Really READ THE BOOK. she's kinda LAZY though, doesn't really lecture, she just goes over it fast. Brace yourselves for a difficult class.

Comment:

A great teacher. Her attitude is perky, fun, helpful, yet always on track. She gives a lot of homework out, but requires only some of it due and she gives many chances for extra credit. One bad thing... she assigns a group project and presentation. Yes, oral presentation for accounting... uggh!!! Anyway if you fail her class, then you deserved it!

She is one of the best accounting teachers at De Anza! If you don't understand any of the concepts, just talk to her during her office hours. She tends to skim over the materials at times so make sure to read the textbook. VERY long tests... be prepared!

Comment:

Prof Tipton is a good teacher. She knows her stuff and is very clear. If you show up to class and do the homework you should get a good grade, but there is a lot of homework involved. There are many excel projects due, but she makes it so there are plenty of extra credit involved. She can be moody at times, but a very nice teacher overall.

Took the class in the summer. Final project is fairly easy but a lot of work. Just do the homework. She will break it down for you if you ask. She went over 99% of homework problems. Awesome personality and sense of humor I cracked her up and she cracked me up. I earned an A.

Comment:

She is really nice and fun. however she does not give you enough time to finish midterm. 55 m/c, 15 matching, 12 fill-in, and about 5 written problems, only gave us an hour to finish. No one left early. HW easy, plus 1 group presentation that is the final. Easy to do. she is not helpful though, always in rush and always late to class.

Mia is a great teacher. I learned alot in her class. I had taken the class from another teacher, but dropped it. She works very hard to make sure you understand. I wish I had her for all three accounting classes.

Comment:

Cool teacher, hard course in general though. she breaks it down good. DO the ch. outlines for extra credit!! A LOT of chances to get FULL credit on HW & pop quizzes (predictable b/c theres one after you're fully done with going over each chapter). 1 group proj, 4 midterms, drops 1 - mult choice & short answer. easy 'B', but 'A' if you REALLY study.
