Comment:

Prof Paff was fine in a lot of ways, but just way too hard. She's obviously very well-versed in her field, but she doesn't do the best job at explaining things, and I found myself teaching myself a lot of stuff. If you ask her a question, she kinda treats you like an idiot for asking it. She otherwise is very nice, but teaches a very hard class.

She is a really nice person, and she is really dedicated to making her teaching more effective. If you do the hw, watch the screencasts, and pay attention in class, then you shouldn't get below an A-

Comment:

One of my favorite professors ever! She is very kind & super smart, you can tell she knows her stuff! Economics class is tough but accounting class not too bad, makes you work for the grade you get but is super good at responding and offering extra help to students. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

Comment:

Focuses on students understanding material. Homework and test practices every week. Lectures and podcast learning is based on students. Professor will not force you to come to class or learn. Be prepared to teach yourself a lot. However, she always enforces coming to office hours or the learning center for help. Very resourceful and will help you.

Dr. Paff is a good professor albeit a tough grader, I didn't finish with a good grade but I'm not bitter about it, I enjoyed being in the class. Dr. Paff is very personable and likeable which also makes class more enjoyable. You will feel like you could approach her with a question at any time.

Dr. Paff is a great professor. She really understands her students and tries to help as much as she can. Accounting is not an easy subject, but she makes it easier to understand. WATCH THE SCREENCASTS! They help out a lot and it's basically what she covers in class. The homework is 100% if you attempt to do it, and do so on time. Overall fun class.

She is a good teacher, but not as a person. She always pretended be to a really good person. she doesn't like to be bothered. If you are have question or things to bother her. things like change the grade or questions. she would be really upset with you. She knows what she is teaching, but horrible personality.

Comment:

She's a good teacher, knows what she's talking about. But she doesn't teach you, you teach yourself. If you say something, she'll say you're not taught things in the real world, you have to figure them out. Well yes, this is true, but we're not paying thousands of dollars in the real world. We're paying you a lot. Teach.

Comment:

She knows what she is talking about but doesn't explain very well to people who do not understand. Homework every class and not enough time to absorb everything. Good if you're an accounting major. Any other major, including other types of business, this amount of intensity is unnecessary difficult.

The assignments are time consuming but if you keep on top of the work, you'll be fine. She's very helpful and responsive to emails. I felt like she truly wanted students to succeed. Textbook & online lessons are clear but you do need to put in the work.

Thought this course would be difficult, but the only difficult part for this course was just the assignment which was time consuming, but other than that, easy exams...

Comment:

Dr. Paff is a very reasonable, kind, and caring professor. She assigns homework for nearly every class, which gets annoying but helps to boost grades. Usually only 80% homework completion results in a 100% homework grade. She prepares students well for exams. She listens to classes complaints and adjusts course accordingly. excellent teaching skill

If you have the choice... do NOT TAKE HER!!!! BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!! If you need econ 102 as a gen ed and you think taking it with her will be an easy A think again. You do so much pointless homework and A LOT OF WORK. Hw is online and confusing. Annoying voice. Expects way too much for a gen ed. Avoid her if you can.

Comment:

Paff is a goof prof, the only trouble I had with this class is keeping up with all the homework because it's online and sometimes confusing. She goes over everything really well. She gives question pools before each exam and it has the exact questions on it as the exam so DO IT, she gives you points for it. She can be tough but still a good prof.
