Comment:
Susan is the best teacher in the MBA program. All incoming full time MBA students are required to take her class in the Fall. Read the textbook, print and fill out the notes, and pay attention in class. Accounting is not hard, but time consuming. This class should take up 50% of your time in Mod A.

Let's just say, at first I was not a huge fan of her numerous assignments. As time went on I became okay with them, because they did give me more practice. I became a big fan of hers by the end of class, because she really cares about her students. She makes herself constantly available to help with questions.

She is firm but fair. The shortcut is doing the homework and the reading. She is a nice person and really cares but will not give an easy grade because you're a nice guy/gal. Do the work and you'll be fine.

Excellent Prof. I took her for 6201 and 6202...I wish that she taught 6210, 6211, and 6212...If you pay attention in class you will be well prepared. These two classes were among the best taught courses in the curriculum.

The work is hard, but if you come to class and keep up with the work, there is no reason for you to not do well. She is very helpful, and although the homework may be hard, it prepares you for her tests. I enjoyed her lessons thorougly.

Most organized core PMBA class. Classes after hers are a letdown in terms of organization. She is very fair and helpful but expects a lot from her students.
