Comment:

A lot of people rate this professor based on the course. There's only so much you can do to make Advanced Management Account & Control interesting. At the end of the day she is a very nice person, likes to build a relationship with her students, gives clear and concise instructions on how to do well in her course and does not demand much. Good prof

Comment:

Dying in class right now. Her voice puts you to sleep. Sweet lady who is knowledgable about her subject, but she is probably better at researching than presenting. Very little, weak sense of humour & difficult to keep focus in class. I'm at the back of class right now and I would estimate 75% of the class is browsing the web.

Comment:

As far as the teacher goes, she's fine, not the best but not the worst. Kind of dry but manageable. The issue isnt the prof, its the class. Whoever made this class part of the curriculum should rethink that decision. Book is impossible to read, but great for sleeping. Alot of finance related stuff. Oh and when they say theory, they truly mean it.

Not an easy prof, but very helpful, and works hard to ensure the students learn. Do you work and ask questions you will do well in class. Final exams are killers, hehe
