Comment:

This class was difficult but she had to make it that way since taxes are so ambiguous these days. I learned a lot and worked hard for the grade I received. Make sure you go to class because she does a lot of important exercises to help for the exams and make sure you read because she puts things on the exams that she barely covered. Good luck

Comment:

The hardest class I've taken yet but I've definitely learned a ton from this woman. She is a very tough professor and you MUST read if you want to pass. This class is a TON of work and I would study a week for the exams to get a B. There are 4 exams that are equally as hard and most of the questions are based off of the readings. Work hard!

Comment:

Mrs. Z is very passionate about accounting and teaching her students. Her knowledge is unfathomable! Her classes can be tough but isn't that why you're paying for an education? Always pay attention and read, read, read and STUDY! The book will be your best friend. If you understand accounting, you'll understand why she's tough.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER EVER! All she talks about is her life and how she is an amazing CPA. She should probably just quit her teaching career and go back to being a CPA or go find some better corn prices. On top of all that she is a rude person. She once called my class stupid.

worst teacher i have ever had. She spent more time talking about random pointless things then about accounting. Try doing the homework after a class, you'll have no idea because nothing had been taught. AVOID IF POSSIBLE

And she calls herself a professor? She uses the overheard projector wayy too much. She never taught anything. Avoid her at all costs if you want to actually learn some accounting.

She is an amazing teacher. Her classes are hard, but if you're in it to learn something, she is one of the best teachers. She always is willing to help and takes an interest in her students academic careers as well as helping them get jobs after college. Mrs Z is hard, but good. Awesome lady!

Mrs. Z is a wonderful professor. She is very personable and loves to get involved with her students' academic careers. Her exams are difficult and she expects a lot of her students but she tells you what you need to know for the exam. If you are serious about the accounting field and are serious about learning, Mrs. Z is for you!

Is a very demanding professor but she tells you exactly what to study on the exams. she will also send out exam overviews to give students an idea of the topics and point distribution on exams she wants her students to do well and master the material but she comes off bad becasue she is very picky.

She is a nice lady, but doesn't take crap from anyone and can be pretty anal at times. She gives too much homework and tests are hard, but she wants students to learn and is helpful.
