She is a really nice prof, but her teaching methods totally are't so great. She kinda jumps around and doesn't stay on one topic very long, it's hard to understand things. I find her exams hard as well, just because they are very lengthy and there is never enough time to finish them. Margaret Beresford is a better teacher for this class.

She's really a harder teacher for taking business stats. But I believe she helps you to succeed b/c she's an Accounting teacher teaching math so she puts questions that is more representative of the real world. Moreover she makes you think on test questions. So questions are not just straight out from notes.

She's a nice professor in general. Unfortunately if you're a student that learns by listening and learning from teacher's notes.

One more thing her PPT will confuse you!

I had Anita for ACCT 3310 and ACCT 3410. She is an excellent teacher and one of my favourite teachers. She is very thorough and explains concepts in detail during class. If you go for help during office hours she is very friendly and helpful. Anyone that says she is a bad teacher clearly didn't apply themselves or go to class.
