Comment:

Very difficult course online, projects were tough. She was difficult over the incorrect online testing materials, though when challenged (& proven incorrect) she did concede the points. During our exam, she loudly chomped through a bag of chips which echoed in the silent room...rude. Recommend Santos online instead, tough, but nice.

Comment:

I did not like Dewald's way of teaching. I had to drop the class, and changed my major because I thought I would not be able to do Accounting. I gave Acc. anouther chance with a different teach, and passed. She made it harder then she had to.

Comment:

This is a class for grown-ups! If you don't have math and word-problem skills, it is not the class for you. I did not find the professor intimidating at all, as long as the questions asked during class were pertinent. The book, however, left a lot to be desired. The examples only partially helped.

Comment:

Tough class, truly. It was difficult to get through. The textbook was very dry. There was a lot of reading and the examples in the book did not always match the problems given. But I thought, personally, Ms. Dewald was nice. I was surprised to get an 'A'.

Comment:

Thought she was tough, but fair. My previous courses where at a university, where it is much more difficult and classes were much bigger. So this was work, but you get what you put in. I didn't have any problem with her class. Textbook could be a little better.

Comment:

Lousy teacher, ambiguous questions abound in her tests, ignores fact that Quickbooks software has become the most prevalent and the only reference in the text is to Peachtree that not one real business I work with uses, assigns coursework, tests, and quizzes online during spring break, needs a life.

Comment:

She does not know how to teach. All she did in class was going over problems. She never explained the actual material. AND: She always is in a bad mood. This is the first time in my life that I dropped a class. It took Leesberg and he was GREAT!!!

Comment:

The harsher commentators can't differentiate something done for them, rather than to them. Ms. Dewald took a middle path. Those going on will be held to more rigorous standards later, the rest of us are innoculated. Text and software very good. E-grade could be more forgiving on text labels.

Comment:

Had to take it twice! WITH HER! I had no choice but to take it in the summer the second time. The text is the worst, I feel bad for the tree, what a waste. I didnt undertand her, the homework was a mess, tests were difficult... she needs to find a hobby... teaching accounting is not helping anyone.

Didn't want to rate her until I had time to decompress. Not a good teacher, not a good textbook. Not a helpful teacher, not a useful text...should I go on?

Comment:

All I can say is YUCK! I used to think accounting was a relatively simple affair... not with this deadly duo! She was clear, but definitely took pleasure in yelling at you for asking questions. This is not to say I've found someone better.

Comment:

Not sure which is worse, the text or the teacher. neither one covers the subject matter very well, and instead of filling in the bad parts of the text, she just pretends everything is ok. Avoid her even if it takes another year.

Comment:

She could try and lecture a bit more! My biggest problem with her is she thinks there are things in the book that are not, and because of this she expects us to know things we can't (did you get that?). Yeah, the book isn't worth the paper it's on.

Comment:

DOES NOT EXPLAIN ACCOUNTING PROBLEMS VERY WELL. GOES WAY ABOVE WHAT STUDENTS UNDERSTAND, AND WON'T TEACH AT THEIR LEVEL. ALSO SHE DOES NOT VERY HELPFUL, AND WILL NOT GO OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP HER STUDENTS TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL.
