Comment:

She speaks fast and I could not figure out how to study. So much info. I wish she would have made the tests easier and taken away the open-note tests. The tests were difficult and you spend the time searching for answers. Curve at the end but such a unique ACCT class. Never had a class like this-Got an A on first exam and D's on next two. I got a B

Comment:

Professor Mead is a funny, kind woman. She's happy to help students with questions. I don't have anything to complain about, I would just like to speak from my personal experience by saying this class may be more difficult for those who are not ACCT majors. I am required to take it for my Finance track, and I feel the inexperience is a disadvantage

Great Professor and always willing to help outside of class! Responds to emails quickly! The class is based on 3 projects, 3 tests, and participation! Clicker participation and the group projects are easy so try to get all the points for those! Take advantage of the first test and do well because the second and third are more challenging!

Comment:

Her class was tough! Notes are allowed on the exam! But do not underestimate that!!! You must read the book, rewatch her lectures, pay attention in class, in order to do good in this class. Clickers are required. She gives a curve on the exams, but the best thing to do is make sure you are prepared!! Organize your notes, and study study study!!!!

Comment:

Professor Meade has been my favorite professor so far. She is very VERY knowledgeable about what she teaches and her sense of humor is natural! What can I say, the exams are pretty hard but the projects and clickers help out a lot so make sure you do the projects on time and go to class. The final exam is a killer so make sure you-focusonthefirst2

Comment:

Mother Meade is a friend to all. A monotone voice equipped with dry, witty humor that knows her stuff and delivers it very well. Bring your clicker to every class, watch her videos, practice the slideshow problems, do the projects in groups, and be prepared to CTRL+F that poor laptop to death during exam time. Do not underestimate the exams. :'))

Comment:

Dr. Meade is the best professor at Bauer, she even made videos for her students to watch on Youtube. Her class is very interesting but is not easy. So make sure you do the projects correctly to get all the points you can get, and clicker questions I think you need 70 percent to get the whole points. The third test is a killer.

Her PPTs are so important. You need to make sure that you go through her PPT an practice all examples before test. If you don't understand, textbook is a really good friend with detailed exercises and concept. Her class includes clicker questions for attendance, 3 projects and 3 test. Test 2 is the most difficult test.

Comment:

Professor Meade is an amazingly awesome professor. She cares about the students' success and wants us to do well. She helped me immensely outside of class on the Tax Project with multiple questions. Her exams are straight forward from the powerpoint slides. Reading the book helps but prioritize the slides for exams. She is awesome, 10/10 TAKE HER!

Meade is a great teacher. Don't buy the book for regular tax, you don't need it. Just read over her notes and you'll be fine. Going to class helps because the clickers a easy points! Do the projects in a group because trust me it's a lot easier that way. Her tests are medium hard but if you study you'll be fine. It's open notes so it's awesome!

Comment:

Great professor. She does a good job taking what I consider a miserable topic and keeps it somewhat interesting. Open note tests but you must be organized and able to locate your notes quickly and be able to understand them or you'll never finish. Open note does not mean easy A. If you put in the time/effort, projects are easy grade boosters.

Comment:

Great class to take if you are planning on working in tax. A lot of research assignments but that should be expected. Really helps you learn how to research and get used to it. Meade gives good feedback and will help you if you are confused on assignments. Tests have multiple choice questions (tricky) and a research portion.

Comment:

When I took tax it was between her for Green. Green's exams are impossible, trust me, ask around. But he gives ridiculous curves. Meade's exams are easier but they are still not a cake walk. She is a decent professor and I would say the better of the two.

Comment:

She was a pretty good professor. I took her for my first CAP program class. She would answer questions and was helpful. Her tests were open book, but it was hard to find answers because there was so much material. If you don't have an accounting background, it is a challenge. I ended up with a B, but I really tried so hard to make an A. Oh well.

Comment:

Janet is a great teacher. She really wants you to find tax law interesting so she gives a lot of examples. She talks low so try to sit in the front rows so you can hear her well. The exams are open note and open book, but you should still study. Two tax projects that are very easy as well. Highly recommend this professor.

Good tax professor. The two projects are not to hard, she gives check figures for the numbers and they can be done in groups. Exams are curved, open book and note but due to test time constraints if you don't read it is difficult to make an A

She speaks very quietly so try to sit in front. She gives 6 pop quizzes but drops the lowest grade. All tests are open note and open book. The final is not cumulative. All in all, it's a pretty easy course.

Comment:

She is good professor and nice, is also helpful if you ask her questions you hav. But it is very hard to listen to her, b/c she talks very softly. Her tests are easier then Pratts for sure, b/c i also took him but ended up dropping.
