Comment:

Horrible teacher. Doesn't know anything about actual analysis, which is the theme of the class; has no insights whatsoever. Grading horribly arbitrary, and lots of errors: check your corrected assignments for miscorrection. Is very incoherent with material in exam: says something is or isn't at the exam, most likely the opposite will be true.

She is a great professor, very clear and teaches well. Her slides are messy at times. She is very sweet as well. However the class itself is very difficult, regardless of your prof.

Comment:

good prof for intro to accounting and fine if you dont plan on taking any more accounting courses afterwards as shes the easiest of the intro profs, however lacks depth in teaching which is made evident as you go into higher level accounting classes.

Comment:

She is nice and kind of funny, but not a smart prof to take, especially if Valiant is teaching. Why? She doesnt write the exam. Makes a huge difference. But she is helpful when you go see her before exams.

This teacher is really great. She dumbs down the material and makes sure everyone understands. One of my favorite profs at mcgill. I strongly recomend taking her

Comment:

The only thing this professor is able to do properly is to dress in fashion. That is alwso the only reason I ever showed up in her class. Lectures are boring, badly structured, don't cover all the material required for the midterm and final. Disapointing.

Comment:

Very helpful and approachable during office hours. I personally think she is one of the easiest markers of most financial accounting teachers, considering that the class average is usually a fail for midterm marks. She helps prep students for exams. Class is a lot of work and a lot of reading but hard work will pay off.

Great Prof, very approachable and you rarely have to study on your own, her class basically gives the answers to the exams. Exams are not that easy but she gives you want you need and nothing useless, its important to go to class not a skipping class. An easier marker, believes in helping students.

She is a good teacher overall. However other teachers boosted grades while she refused to do it for our class, even though everyone had the same exam...

Tough class. Teaching style very clear and concise, but the material is hard to grasp. Don't ask questions, 90% time she doesn't know the answer to it especially if they involve current events.

She's a great teacher! tries very hard to simplify everything and make it understandable. This is one of the few classes in Uni where you'll feel like you're back at HS because she kinda "babies" the students. Her notes can be a bit redundant at times. Pretty fair grader. Highly recommended!!!

She's a snob, you're screwed if you take her because Fortin writes 80% of the exam...
