Comment:

Sue is a pretty easy professor. However, her classes are quite boring. She goes over quite a lot of examples. Her grading consists of two midterms, a few in class group assignments, a few labs and a final.

Comment:

Sue is a very caring prof, she wants the best for her students and tries to ensure that the content is understood by everyone. Very approachable but at times she talks too much and she's aware of that herself. Lots of practice questions for hw that prove to be beneficial when it comes to doing the final and midterms.

Comment:

Talks way more than she teaches, doesn't go over enough problems, doesn't set you up to do well. She's nice but with a hard course like 241, practise would've been better rather than going over boring power point slides.

She's very knowledgeable and teaches you in a way that is very simplified. She needs to be told to slow down and she will. Excellent instructor. Very informative about the industry that she is in. Tests are challenging but /w practice is ok. Project marking is questionable.

Sue is a wonderful lady. She is straightforward, easy-going, & overall a great professor. The way to succeed in this class is by practicing the related problems and learning the vocab. Ask questions in class and visit her if need be. She is so approachable. Take the group project very seriously- be organized. Thank you Sue!

The final project is tough and she told us ahead of time that no one does well on it. Good advice is to start early on the last section.

Sue's a great person, course is straightforward, she's a really tough marker, the group project is arduous and she has really high expectations for it. The exams are extremely long, half the class couldn't finish it or didn't have time to review their answers. Lots of content is covered in this class. I suggest review your notes after every class

Sue is very kind but not a great teacher. If you are not strong in finance you will have a difficult time learning as she doesn't teach much. The group project was graded quite hard.

sue is always accessible if you have questions which is nice. She replies to emails fast and cares. Her test are however very long, I've never finished a test and she has huge expectations for the end of term projects assigned from day 1. The problems she goes over with you in class is whats on the exam with a twist to test your knowledge.

Comment:

I wouldn't take a course with her again. The tests are far too long, you can't finish or check your work so you better be happy with one guess and that's it. Too much material covered and too much of an expectation on homework for my liking.

Sue is fantastic! Half of our course was done in the computer lab working with excel and spreadsheets. Sue would make sure we all understood the content before we proceeded to the next topic. Her midterms and final exams are a bit lengthy, but very straightforward if you refer to her well-stocked Moodle!

Sue rocks. I got a D in the first level of accounting, but left the second level with Sue with an A. She's hilarious, cares about her students, is very helpful, and even sometimes brings you cookies. If you show up to class and do the homework you will get a great grade (I didn't do any of the readings ever). I'm gonna miss Sue.

Really easy to get an A if you do the practice questions. She uploads the answers on moodle and you should do them because thats basically what the test is on. Very specific on what she wants and easy to approach. Final is particulary easy if you practice!

Really stupid group project. Midterms were on weird days and she doesn't give guidelines. Uses PowerPoint and Excel a LOT which is not helpful when it comes to Accounting.

She is an awesome teacher. I always came in 15 minutes late to her class or didnt show up sometimes, yet did good in her class. Her exams are easy and there was a major group project which required some effort. She marked them generously. She is easy to talk to. I think shes awesome.

Susan makes it really enjoyable to go to class. Shes witty and funny and really seems to care about her students. I wish I'd taken her for more courses. She does go fast, but frequently stops to ask if were all caught up and understand.

Comment:

Awesome teacher. Always checks that the class is with her and will spend time explaining if not. Explains what the theory means for real life application. Very approachable during class or office hours. 2 midterms, 1 comprehensive final, 1 report which is staggered into 3 phases to keep it from being overwhelming.
