Comment:

Lots of homework, can't stress enough. I have 4 classes but it takes me 4 days to complete anything in here. She assigns a quiz which requires you to fill out at least a sheet worth of answers and then homework applications (34 long questions) all due within a week. AVOID. Bad at giving useful feedback. Smart lady but bad teacher. VERY BAD.

Comment:

Do not take Professor Merritt's class online. In fact, don't take any accounting class online. The void of lectures and learning this material on your own is a constant uphill battle. This professor in specific does not make it any easier, as she gives a LOT of homework and little feedback. AVOID.

Just avoid her at all costs, this has been the most miserable semester of my life because of her. I dread every day waking up because of her. I'm not even kidding. Not sure about her physical class, but she is useless online.

Comment:

Test expectations were unrealistic; she did not give us enough time to finish our tests. She even made a D2L post trying to back up her claims, but it is plain common sense. Pretty much no student was able to finish her Midterm. Take another professor and avoid this one, seriously.

Comment:

Midterm was 55 multiple choice Q's with some math & 4 LONG journals (15+ transactions each) . I understood the material VERY WELL. 1st time in my life I ran out of time for a test. Her regular tests are 2hrs, 34 Q's and usually 2 Journals(reasonable). I did the math, she allotted 1 min per item (midterm expectations were not realistic/reasonable).

Comment:

Although she is a good teacher, her compassion for students that she tells you about on the first day is completely false. She is rude when you try to ask questions and isn't helpful when she does provide answers. If you do go to her office hours, she makes you feel dumb. I am very good at accounting but I am struggling to do well in this class.

Comment:

I got a B in her class but I honestly think it's bc I worked more than I studied. So study really hard and read the book for her class. Her tests are really hard so if you don't go to class you'll be lost. She's a good professor but also a hard professor. Get ready for a lot of homework, quizzes and reading.

Comment:

I took her this semester and I barely got a C. She is a hard professor and I started doing well near the end because you have to study a week before her exams (which are super tedious). The best way to prepare for her tests are to do the brief exercises, quiz problems, and read like crazy. She cares a lot about her students.

Comment:

Excellent in terms of her knowledge of the subject matter and preparation for future accounting courses. The only problem I had with her was that she would be sarcastic if I had a legitimate question about something after class. Professors should be in this profession because they care about there students not to make them feel worthless

Comment:

Not that bad! She is very knowledgeable on the subject of accounting. She will help you with anything you need if you approach her for help. The class is sort of difficult, but it is manageable to make a B or an A if you work hard. Lots of Cengage assignments, but they help tremendously with learning the material and preparing you for tests.

You really need to go to class and keep up with reading and homework. She cares about her students and will do her best to help you understand the material. Definitely recommend doing the GoAccounting extra credit. She is a notoriously slow grader and will try and shove BAP down your throats every class. Overall a nice lady and excellent professor.

Comment:

She is a wonderful professor. If you respect her, she will respect you. Pay attention during class, read the chapters, and do your assignments and an A is not difficult to get. She offers extra credit through Beta Alpha Psi, which I highly recommend. She is also very organized with her teaching, and willing to answer stupid questions.

Comment:

She makes long tests for Acct 3310, but if you are properly prepared, they're not too bad. Biggest thing is time management. 3/4 of the class got burned the 1st test b/c she made the test waaay longer than necessary. She does not curve the tests, and will often give quizzes over assigned HW. Def. cares about her students and their long term success

She is an easy professor. I made a high B during a maymester should have made an A but I slacked off the last week. Just show up to class and she gives you most of the homework answers in class. Great professor. Highly recommended.

She's an amazing professor that works extremely hard to help her students. She's always willing to answer questions and go above and beyond to help you understand. She's a rarity when it comes to professors. Her tests are hard, and if you miss a class, you will fall behind, but she is incredibly knowledgeable about her subject. Awesome professor!

Very tough class, but good professor. Practice a lot out side of class, do not use check work on homework. Definitely one of the better accounting professors, but just a difficult class (for a non-accounting major).

Comment:

Very tough teacher. Definitely knows her stuff. Study and practice plenty outside of class, especially paying attention to homework and quiz problems. Her tests are very tough and account for 80% of your overall grade. Do not skip or you will fall behind. Study PLENTY outside class, especially in Maymester.
