Comment:

Overall solid professor. She posts partially filled notes to bring to class. Uses Connect for HW. 2 exams and 1 final and you can bring 1 3x5 note card. SUA project will take a lot of your time so time management is important. If you read the required chapters and the notes taken in class, you'll be fine

Comment:

Made the class from twice a week at 1hr 15min to ONCE a week but no increase of class time for the one class. This caused her to only skim through the lectures & leave almost no time to ask questions or go in depth. You're on your own basically. the SUA should've been worth more than the exam due to how much time was spent on it.

Comment:

This class had the second exam two weeks before the final. There is so much material covered that it feels like you drown in it by the time the test comes because you do not know what to study. The grades are nitpicky and very test based. 300 out of 625 points happens in the last two weeks of school so make sure you study hard at the end.

Comment:

I enjoy the career-based assignments we do early-on and the extra credit event was nice. The homework and exams are pretty standard. The one standout thing was the SUA. Now that was a challenge. Overly long, overly tedious, and NOT worth as many points as it should. 1 exam is worth more than the SUA, but the SUA easily took me 20 hours to do.

Comment:

Tolerable class. Ok lecturer. Online hw can be long and complicated, but do them since they are the easy points. SUA, don't procrastinate. Took me 3-4 hrs to do the last part. Class content is not bad, mostly repeat from 201. Go to lecture, understand her notes , don't memorize, get all easy points, and you should pass.

Comment:

1 project, 3 exams, and mini hw assignments in between. Her examples in class are easy but sometimes the homework is more complicated. Practice the problems from class & do the chapter practice problems on Connect. Start the SUA ASAP, its not a last minute project. Overall a good professor, but sometimes gets confused when solving problems.

Her class is a lot of work, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Show up, start assignments/projects early, study for tests, and ask questions if you need to. There are 11 pop quizzes, but they're only 2 points each, you get to take them with your group, and she checks them over before accepting them. No reason not to get full credit.

Comment:

Nice prof! For exams, just study the notes & UNDERSTAND everything (don't memorize). Her tests are more applying what you learned than memorizing, but VERY doable if you study. While studying think of examples of the content and how you can write about things talked about. The semester long group project sucks IF you have a bad group.

Comment:

Dr. Tandy is a sweet lady. This will not safe you however when it comes to passing this class if you don't work for it. Tests are very tough and there is really no time to study since the semester is full of incredibly long HWs, assignments, SUA, outside of class events and activities. Study early and get ready for tests a long time in advance.

Comment:

She's a sweet lady but that's about the only upside. Unfortunately she is also one of the worst lecturers I've ever had. Spends an insane amount of time talking about inconsequential things and flying through more complicated parts. Exams are not only more complicated than anything you do in class, but also worded vaguely. Avoid her if you can.

5 week summer course. Only take this class if you absolutely need to. There is a ton of homework that averages about 2-3 hours a night. Mcgraw Hill based Connect. Do all the practice, the tests are hard but not if you study all the content. The last two exams are challenging. She provides PowerPoints with her speaking. Professor did all she could.

Comment:

Really pleasant lady. The class is interesting and it actually made me look more into internal audit. But the group project is a huge pain, especially if you're stuck with a bad group. Have the initiative to ask questions because the instructions are really vague. Do yourself a favor and team up with good students or it'll be a looooong semester.

Excessive work and a waste of time. Learned more from professors at CSN than from this woman. SUA, connect homework, networking events, and not enough time for exams. She comes to class smiling, but it's a smile welcoming you to hell. Also, get ready to spend money on class materials. NOT WORTH IT.

Had her for internal audit and thoroughly enjoyed the class and her teaching style. The exams and group project count for the majority of your grade, so don't take those lightly. She provides handouts for her lectures, and if you study those you'll be totally prepared for the exams.

Took it online over summer. That was the first mistake, unfortunately I had no other option. Took her 1-2 days to respond to my emails & even then, they were unhelpful. McGraw-Hill based course which sucks. Not enough time for the exams and will leave you rushing to guess. Unnecessary/tedious amounts of homework which take hours of your day. BEWARE

4 week online ACC 202. Hmwrk is very time consuming, can use "check my work." Suggest getting a perfect score on HW since the tests are hard. There IS NOT enough time for the tests. Answer questions you know and then figure out what you don't since you WILL run out of time. Available for questions via email. Clear layout of HW and points. No EC

Class was on-line, a 5 week summer session. Not very helpful, responds to emails at her convince. I had to wait a week to review a test, as she was on vacation. 90 min. is not enough time for tests, with depth of work on questions. Better to take the class during a regular semester with a professor who wants you to succeed. Not sure she does.

Comment:

Took ACC 202 online and was skeptical at first because of the other reviews. She's a great professor and emails right away if you have questions. Read the book, do the practice questions, and double check your calculations, it helps. I got an A on all the exams, but you have to really think outside the box on some questions and manage your time.
