Struggled so hard in her class. Tough to understand. You would think her multiple choice tests would be easy but they are very confusing. study hard.

Comment:

Do not take this professor. half of my class dropped her. You have one project which she grades extremely harsh. She obsesses over one small part of a chapter and leaves you to teach yourself the rest. She wants to help but doesn't realize that she isn't helpful. Tests are very unpredictable, and she makes it much harder than it has to be.

Comment:

At first i struggled, but after getting used to the homework schedule I was soon learning the material relatively easily. You just need to do the homework, everyone complaining likely expected an easy class, but this is accounting, not gym class. She's a great teacher, slightly strict, but she knows what she's doing. I suggest her as a professor.

Comment:

AWFUL, I knew I was going to have a hard time in accounting because it wash;t my expertise so I tried extremely hard in her class. I never missed a class and always studied extremely hard for her quizzes and tests. But She does;t present the information in a clear and concise manner, very confusing and not helpful AT ALL. PLEASE DONT TAKE HER!!

Comment:

Don't like her at all. She's not rude or crude, just very boring and moves extremely fast. The way she teaches makes no sense and the online homework has absolutely nothing to do with the quizzes and tests we are given weekly.

Comment:

Take this class if you plan on actually going to it. She gives guided notes that are extremely helpful on the homework. Quizzes once a week, they are simple and help your grade significantly. Tests are a little difficult, but do well on the hw and quizzes and you'll walk out with at least a B. One of the best acct. profs

She is somewhat boring but her teaching method is solid. Very clear, very helpful, but the quizes and tests have questions that we did not go over in class. Overall, good professor.

Comment:

She makes accounting a lot more confusing than it needs to be. Pretty monotone. The homework assignments do not resemble the weekly quizzes very well at all. I would suggest trying to take this course with someone else. I am an honors college student, and I am getting a C in her class right now. It is just very disappointing.

Rude to students that ask questions, if you take the once a week class there is a quiz every week. Tests not like the homework and all and you have to pay to do the homework

Comment:

The things you do on the homework, quizzes, and tests are all separate things. I have taught myself more of accounting to myself through the book than I have learned from her. Weekly homework that have attached prerequisites, which are not graded you have to take prior in order to do the homework. I spend hours on the HW Do not like the teacher

Comment:

Extremely difficult class. Teacher didn't like people coming in late so she put out a timed test in the beginning that 90% of the class didn't finish. I'm a grade A student and got a D on her test, mostly because her assessments lack clarity and she packs way too much information in them compared to other summer courses. Avoid this woman.

Online homework is so easy. Be ready for many maths! She has mixed feelings among students in the class. Bare with her and participate. If she sees your interest then she will be much more willing to help you out. A good teacher, though can be difficult material. Go to class and pay attention.

Comment:

So hard! I am decent with math but the class was just confusing to me, I had no previous knowledge about accounting so i was very lost. The homework you have online is very difficult and extremely frusturating. She is hard to follow because she teaches the book and the book does not make a whole lot of sense.

She really knows what she is talking about. The tests are pretty difficult so be prepared to study. All homework assignments are online which is frustrating due to all having to do with numbers.

Comment:

Liked this class. Explains things well and things are very structured. If you do the assignments and try to understand the material this is a very easy class, but also very informative. Tests were not that hard to begin with and the final was much easier than the first 3 exams. If you do the assignments and study, you WILL get at LEAST a B.
