Great Class. Attendance is 10% of the grade, so i suggest going to class. Grading system is very beneficial to students, a lot of it is based on OWL's, Open Book Quizzes, and participation. Great Class!

Comment:

She is a horrible teacher, if you go to class late, she we send you home. That is ridiculous!!! She give ton of homework. She goes over the material and homework like everyone understand what the hell she is saying. I recommend you do not take her. I wish you luck if you do.

Comment:

She is almost scary especially if you go to her office hours and can be condesending. TONS of work. I second "simpson is the best professor." You have as much work with Porter but you don't learn nearly as much because she doesn't make anything clear.

Horrible, find another teacher. WAAAY too much daily homework, and she's incapable to making anybody understand anything. Just rambles on about blah blah blah, without helping students understand the material.

Simpson is the best Accounting professor at UMass, definitely not her. She's really nice and helpful, but she needs to learn how to teach.
