Comment:

Syllabus has everything you need to know: due dates, type of work, etc. Discussion Boards are fairly easy and thought provoking. Lots of cases (12 total) from the textbook, so lots of papers to write (usually about 3 pages long). Final project was pretty involved. Prof was always communicating with students on Blackboard. Much appreciated.

Comment:

If you need to take accounting, take it with her. She is an amazing professor who cares a lot about her students and their success. Takes the time during lectures to ask if you understand the material. She also knows how to make a rather boring subject fun.

One of the best professors I've had at WSU, I've taken Financial Accounting 1 and 2 with her. Her lectures are very easy to follow and clear. Homework isn't collected and graded, just reviewed in class. Usually gives out one or two practice problems for homework which is manageable & helpful. 2-3 Tests. 1 Project. Easy to get in contact with.

Dr. Dahlin is an extremely attentive and well organized professor. I took Management/Corporate Management with her. She is attentive, caring and makes the course material easy to understand, and very interesting. I would highly recommend anyone to take a class with Dr. Dahlin. If you pay attention, and do the coursework you will do very well

Comment:

By far the best business professor at WSU! She really does outline all her expectations on her syllabus ! I took her for managerial accounting as well and all the "examples" she put on the board for class notes are the same questions you get on the exams but just different numbers. Any accounting or management classes TAKE DAHLIN!

Great class if you work full time. All assignments provided up front. No surprises. You can plan your entire semester of work. A weekly reminder is sent for homework. Very helpful - Professor sent me the first case when my book didnt arrive on time. Excellent class.

Comment:

My first online class and it was pretty challenging. None the less, I rose to the occasion! Her syllabus does need some additional refining so that it is current. My complaint, she isn't flexible when mistakes are made. She needs to understand that not all students operate the same way. I was a little disappointed by her lack of communication.

Third online class with Laurie. Super nice and helpful. Responds to emails very quickly. Easy to follow class with clear instructions. Everything is in the syllabus and a weekly announcement is posted with assignments. You have to do the work and meet deadlines. If you do, youll earn a good grade.

Comment:

She was very rude, and strict. I asked her for help in understanding the class so that I could make sure to make a good grade. If she doesn't like your question, she won't respond back. I emailed her apologizing for if my questions were bothersome, and she came back with an attitude I've never seen a teacher give before. Never taking her again.

Great professor, keeps the class interested and really cares if you learn. Very clear with what she wants and tests are clear. Easy A if you go to class and pay attention. I'd take her again. Doesn't like tardiness or being late.

Comment:

It was an online class so it could have gone either way. She posts a clear syllabus that tells you how to do things and what you'll be graded on. It's clear what is due when. She grades things very quickly and grades fairly. She would email explaining why you lost points on an assignment (if you did). I'm sure she is just as good as a lecture prof.

Comment:

The comments about Laurie being a bad professor shock me. She is the best business professor I've had at this school. She is the reason I changed to an accounting concentration! It's truly sad that students write poor reviews about a professor when they don't put forth any effort. Definitely take her for any accounting course!

Online class is very well organized. The course Syllabus contains all the semester's assignments. I was able to do the cases and disc boards weeks ahead. Laurie is helpful and very responsive to questions and emails. She's a very fair grader. SUPER NICE person and GREAT professor. Overall terrific online class. Learned a lot. Highly recommend!

Comment:

Honestly, this woman is a HORRIBLE online professor. Lists assignments that are due that week but puts them in random order so don't ever expect them to be in the order they're due... like what? Not friendly so don't bother asking questions or for help on an assignment. I'll be doing all I can to avoid having to take her again.

Online classes are great. Everything explained in the syllabus. Perfect style for those of us working full time and trying to compete a degree. Professor Dahlin is so helpful and she responds to emails immediately. You can tell she truly cares about students. Overall the class was interesting and the Professor was terrific. Great experience.

Laurie is an amazing advisor and professor. Took 4 of her classes. She truly cares about students. She posts grades for online classes the night stuff is due. Inclass she gets assignments back the next day. Syllabus is very clear. Answers emails very quick. I'm not a fan of accounting, but Laurie made it easy to understand. She's the best.

Comment:

I had Professor Laurie for BA200 online. This was my first online class and I was very nervous. I had many questions and she responded so quickly to my emails. I was upset when I saw the post left by someone saying she didn't respond to emails. That is not truthful. Look at all the great posts here. Professor Laurie cares about students.
