She helps you prepare very well for internship interviews. You have to join an accounting organization to get a good grade. Great professor!

Don't take tax with her. Tax is interesting, but she totally ruined the beauty of it.

Comment:

her class is so difficult. Exams are extremely hard. "Tax is hard, especially you take it with Youngberg." said by a former student. She doesn't get prepared for the class, what she really care about is how to use tax to make money. She is not available during her office hours. And she will cancel it to take care of her own kids.

Pushes getting internship interviews above all else then gets angry when students have interviews during her class. Gives what amounts to busywork that will eat into your time for other classes in the first five weeks.

Great teacher! Lots of helpful information!!! This class is a LOT in the first five weeks! The work is not difficult, just time consuming. The information you get is key to your success! I can't tell you how much it helped me land my internship!!! Take it seriously! You won't regret it!

Comment:

She doesn't seem as good as she expresses out. She is not very clear about the chapters and even told wrong instructions about the projects/cases when you ask. Sometimes she didn't post clear due date after posted the homework, and the fault is on you instead of her, and there's no make-up allowed for it. Her lecture doesn't cover the exams.

She gave us a lot of good information about what to expect in public accounting and recruiting season in this class. She also gives a helpful critique of your mock interview.

Comment:

This entry level accounting course is not for anyone that is not sure they want to enter tax. Do not try to find out if you are interested in this subject by taking this course with Mrs. Youngberg. She has way too many assignments, test that are difficult to complete in the time allotted and the projects are involved and numerous. I almost gave up.

Comment:

She doesn't seem to have a very deep understanding of the material. She is heavily reliant on the solutions manual and often avoids answering students' questions by giving unclear explanations that sometimes don't even address the questions asked. One positive: she allows cheat sheets on exams and drops two quizzes.

Easy class, just show up and do the assignments. Also be careful with your resume you will get dropped a letter grade for spelling mistakes. Overall, an excellent instructor.

She really loves what she does which makes her lectures very easy to listen to. She uses personal examples to make the material more understandable. She's a very nice person and very easy to talk to. Allows cheat sheets on exams (and gives detailed info about what will be on the exam). Dropped 2 lowest of 7 quizzes.

Comment:

Her lectures are easy to listen to (especially given the subject). Her projects are okay, and she does check your answers beforehand if you see her/send an email. Her quizzes and exams are relatively hard. Her final is cumulative and expected us to know a lot of detail on stuff taught at the beginning of the semester (but you do get a cheat sheet)

She lost our project once.Test us on chapters she said she won't test on.For finals she said she will only test on chapter 14 and 16,but had calculation problems from 17 anyways.VERY hard on grading. Is always in a hurry to get you out of her office when you go ask a question.

I really liked this teacher. I went to her with my resume several times and she was extremely friendly and approachable. She is also very enthusiastic. I wish I could have gotten her for ACCY 450, but I couldn't get in because her class filled up so fast.

Very good teacher. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the the tax profession. A role model in or out of school. Although I took her course several semesters ago, she has taken time to answer question to I posed from other courses.

I don't really enjoy tax so that is why my interest is so low. However, she brings great enthusiasm and really enjoys what she is teaching.
