Fabulous teacher, and all around very nice person. Definately take this class with her if you can-she makes everything very clear and is helpful.
Great teacher. Always helpful. Very clearly explains concepts in class.
Makes accounting easier than it is
Great Professor! Very Helpful and fair
She is the reason I am still in school.
Was very good. She is awesome. A++++++. She explains everything very well.
Really great teacher, can interact with students on a high level, funny stories, great class
She has some hilarious stories and is really entertaining in class.
She is an awesome teacher. If you want to learn something she is the teacher for you. She is a good teacher and she will help at anytime you need it. Best teacher I have had of all of them at ISU.
Very helpful teacher. Makes the lectures interesting with stories and has some very good examples for problems. Makes the learning fun and easy. Very helpful outside of class and will do just about anything for anyone if they need help. Best teacher I have had in 4 semesters here.
keeps things fun and lively

Keeps the lectures interesting and is well planned for class!
Attend classes & read the bolded sections of the book, and you'll have no problems. Very helpful!
I love Mrs. Clem and her horror storties from her home life and her kids. They make class go faster and not so damn boring. plus she give free quiz points!
I hated this class and the teacher.
Clem is awesome! She is very helpful and appears to have a general interest in her students. She gives you every opportunity to do well in her class.
SHE was very clear, very helpful, and extremely understanding.
She is wonderful! Makes class interesting, gives extra credit during lecture, has take-home quizes. Shows interest in students and huge sports fan. tests can be difficult - only 20 q's. Reading, doing the homework, and going to SI really help.
She is an awesome teacher! The best teacher at ISU I would say!
Great Teacher. Material can get a little confusing but does a great job of explaining. Very funny stories. Truly cares about her students.
She is a very "personal" professor who likes to share her life stories and her kids are her life. The tests were hard and the lectures could get boring, but she does a pretty good job and is super helpful if you ask for it. It's a hard class period. I gave up on going to lecture everyday and studying a lot and still pulled off a B.
She is quite possibly the best professor at Iowa State. She makes the class interesting and fun. Attendance is not required, but she gives extra credit quizzes sometimes for showing up. Practice tests are REALLY similar to actual tests. Do the practice tests, look over the notes, and go to class, and you will do well.
She's a good prof. Go to class when it's a cold day, because she gives a lot of extra credit. Start working on your project early. Take her if you can.
She knows her stuff. I suggest not missing class b/c what she discusses on the slides is important. Don't wait until the last minute to do your project. It's just easier to get it done asap. I recommend her for this course, though.
Amazing professor, clear on lectures and made sure we understood before going on. GO TO CLASS! She gave out xtra credit atleast 1 a week, especially when it is cold out. Tests are easy if you study, the SI sessions helped and sometimes were the same questions on the exam. Don't wait on the last minute to do project and get a good partner for it!
Great teacher. Does a good job of providing examples for the material and making sure that Accounting makes sense. Not an easy job.
great teacher
Cool Professor. Show up to class, she makes the notes crystal clear and relevant to the exams/quizzes. She also gives out a ton of extra credit.
I loved her! She was friendly and appears to be really passionate about the subject. I found 284 harder than 285 but Clem is easy to listen to and willing to help the students whenever. Highly recommended!
Dr. Clem is an amazing teacher. She is very helpfun. She actually uses the book you buy in class for examples. She wants her students to suceed. I would reccomend her for a teacher! Best teacher at Iowa State University!!
If you can go to class and take notes (which she gives you slides to write on) and pay attention, you can pass this class with at least a B. AWESOME PROFESSOR! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Very good teacher. I learned a lot.
Awesome teacher. She gives out a hunk of extra credit. Tests are very doable. Quizes and homework are easy as well. Some of the material can be difficult, but she teaches it very very well. Also, she loves to stop once and a while and talk about her home life, which is pretty funny most of the time. Highly recommended!
Talks about her kids way too much and can speed through the material sometimes. Otherwise an alright professor.
Very helpful with me b/c I got really sick during the semester. She was very willing to help out and get me back on track. Always answered any questions quickly through email. Classes were better than most of my classes. Keeps you entertained. Has in class quizzes, but you know when they are coming Her grading system is great! TAKE THIS CLASS W HER
Excellent teacher. Offers lots of extra credit (definitely do it; it's easy). Test were not too difficult. Review sessions that were offered before tests helped a lot. She is funny but sometimes gets off topic. She is very in touch with her students. Easy to get an A in class if you do the extra credit. A++ Take Acct284 with her if possible.
Great teacher, extremely helpful..made accounting less boring and easier for me. I would definitely reccommend her.
Great overall!!! she spoon feeds u the test, and offers quite a bit of extra credit as long as u go to class
She is the best teacher for 284--she loves what she teaches. Go to class; you get extra credit quite often, get let out early, and the notes in class are the only things needed to study for tests. If you do the homework and study for the tests, easy, EASY B.
Awesome teacher. Makes lecture interesting, works with problems in the book, and explains exactly what is going on. Makes the material easy to understand and explains everything that will appear on the test. Not a lot of extra credit, but you don't really need it if you go to class. Some people might get stuff out of the books, others might not.
The best Accounting instuctor I have ever had at ISU! The material is tough but Prof. Clem does a great job teaching. Exams are typically easier than quizzes and homework in my opinion. Make sure you take notes and do the inclass examples. If you do that, you will be fine!
Very very very good professor. Knows your question before you ask it. Incredibly organized and could teach the class blindfolded. Knows her stuff and will help you figure it out if you don't get it. TA's were good and review sessions were offered and were very helpful.
She runs the class hard and will point out sleepers, yell at people leaving earlier, and those arriving late.
She is an incredible teacher! She loves what she does and is always making sure that the students understand what is going on! Fast paced, don't miss class! Quizzes and homework pretty easy. She works out examples in class. Tests aren't hard either! Wonderful teacher I highly recommend her!
She is a great instructor. Be lucky if you get her.
Really good!!! Very clear, understands you don't want to be there, gives extra credit for attendance. The only bad thing is if she sees you sleeping, she wakes you up.
great teacher! I didnt know a thing about accounting before this class and she really helped a lot! Study the old test she gives you because they are pretty similar to the new ones. Easy to get all of the homework and quiz points and project isnt to bad either. Definitly take her!
I did well on the first test but bombed the second. She explains the basics well but expects you to immediately understand the material and what she is doing. Doesn't leave enough time to fully explain her examples. Do well on the project to save your grade.
Clem is awesome! You'll love her. She makes things easy to understand and gives you the opportunity to earn an easy A. Go to class, it helps.
AMAZING!! loved this teacher one of my favorites... go to class and pay attention.. find old tests if you can and do the examples from the book.. memorize the notes
Very good professior,expaines everything in good detail. Exams are fairly easy if you study.
This is a great class to take if you are trying to get your CPA. She is a great professor who seems to really know the material and care about her students. There is homework due for each chapter but if you try she usually gives you full credit. There is a small current events presentation and a fairly short project. Go to class and work problems.
Super Helpful and energetic. And if you need help just ask. Shes awesome!
Probably my favorite teacher so far at ISU. I'm an engineer and loved the class. Fairly interesting material and she taught it well. Tells funny stories about her family. class is a blast
Professor Clem is amazing. Not everyone may be good at accounting, but with extra credit offerings, pretty much guaranteed homework points, simple quizzes, and a project that had a 94% average for us this spring, she gives you every possible tool do well. She was a delight.
She is amazing. She makes accounting interesting and fun. The homework is super easy and the quizzes aren't that bad either. She gives out credit. Plus the final project is super easy. Love her, love the class.
She does an excellent job of teaching! And to top it off she's really HOT!!
She is amazing. She does tons of examples and really wants her students to do well. She does examples from the book and makes up her own, plus gives you plenty of time to do everything. She also lets you go early sometimes because she has kids and can tell when people aren't learning.
she explains her materials very well. definitely a recommended professor.
She is an amazing teacher! The class was difficult given that it's a math class but she made it as easy as possible. She genuinely cares about her students and tries to do everything to help the students. Theres no comparison at all with her and the other professors. She stands alone. No questions asked, THE BEST.
Great professor! I'm awful at math, but I actually understand everything that she teaches because of the way she does it. Lets you out of class early almost everyday and doesn't talk exclusively about accounting all the time
This class is so easy... Take it with clem, do the online homework assingments, ace the multiple choice tests, you'll get a good grade. She is a really great professor though, and builds her relationship with the class by telling stories and making jokes. She's awesome.
Clem is great!! I Had a ton of accounting experience before taking the class so a lot of it was review. She tells the funniest stories about family/personal experiences which makes class go much faster. Lets students out early and cancels class often, too. Learned A LOT, CLEM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROFESSORS AT ISU!!
Awesome professor! Explains notes clearly and goes through multiple examples during class, and she always let you out early to "enjoy your day!" Tests are somewhat challenging but exactly from the notes packet. Start the project early and go to the help room and you'll have it done in a couple hours.
didnt really use the textbook, just pay attention in every class and study your notes. you could do terrible on all the exams and still do well in the class by doing all online homeworks quizzes and LearnSmarts SEMESTER PROJECT - met with my partners once a week every week for an hour to work on project. do not wait until the night before its due!
I felt like she truly cared to help the students learn and do well. Class is a little boring but she has some funny stories.
Clem is one of the best professors I've had at Iowa St. She can be fun, but knows how to teach. Pay attention in class and do all the homework assignments and you do fine. Also don't wait to do the semester long project, get it done early. It's easy, but be sure to do a little each week. I recommend her.
Dr. Clem is the best professor I've had at Iowa State. Tests aren't too hard as long as you follow along in class and do your homework. Does in-class examples that help a lot. Be sure to visit her office hours- she's super nice and genuinely cares about her students. I would definitely recommend taking 284 with Clem.
The best teacher I ever had in ISU!
Very good professor! Good at explaining things. She seemed a little strict at first (doesn't allow computers in class) but you get used to it. Used the book a lot. There's a semester project but if you start early and keep working on it, it's not too bad! Tests taken in online testing center. We usually got out of class 15-20 minutes early! :)
Clem is a great lecturer who makes sure her students understand the material covered in class. The tests require studying and the project should not be done in one night. If you keep up with the class it is pretty easy to get a B or better.
Do the practice tests and you'll do well on the tests. Project is time consuming. She's a great lecturer and willing to help.
She's is awesome
Dr. Clem is an outstanding professor. She makes her lectures on accounting topics very personable. She explains the topics and does in-class problems. Make sure to read the textbook too as there are weekly homework assignments & reading quizzes. There isn't much extra credit and tests are average. The semester project helps boost your grade though.
Anne is a wonderful teacher. She truly cares about students.... and Cyclone basketball. The homework is really easy and the tests are average. The group project can be finished in about 4 hours, but you probably want to split up into a couple work days.
Take this class with Clem and you can't go wrong. Make sure to go to class and take notes, she does a great job at explaining each chapter. Wouldn't have picked any other professor!
Dr. Clem was really a great professor. She makes the material understandable, and she has a lot of interesting or funny stories that relate to the class.... she's very hip. Tests were okay and taken in the online testing center, learnsmart homework and quizzes were the other part of your grade along with a group project.
Clem is a great teacher and really knows what she is teaching. She is super organized and very clear during lectures. By far the best Acct 284 teacher at ISU. Homework is super easy, just time consuming. The tests are kinda difficult, so make sure you study! There is one semester project and it is pretty simple, just start early!
Great lady! Very helpful and pationate about what she teaches. Relates to college very well.
Take this class with Dr. Clem if possible. She's an amazing professor that makes you want to come to class. Very good use of lecture time, provides you with the materials you need to do well.
Clem is an amazing professor! You can tell she is passionate about accounting, and she makes the class interesting even though it's a gigantic lecture. Her tests are straight forward and basically just like the practice ones. Homework can be a little tedious but not too bad. She also tells great stories which makes class more interesting.
Nice. Homework is extremely easy, group project is easy as well. Tests take preparation and overall aren't easy. If you screw up on one test, you might not get an A because there isn't a curve either. However it's almost impossible to get below a B. Just show up to class and do homework and you'll be fine.
I struggled with accounting but Professor Clem made it a lot more clear for me! She's a great professor and is very enthusiastic with her students. It's a tough class but with her teaching it you should be fine.
Homework is tedious, but it does help you learn the material. Lectures aren't too bad. She tries her hardest to keep the class engaged and usually lets you out 10 minutes early. Definitely suggest taking 284 with Clem.
Take Accounting 284 with Anne Clem! Show up for class, take the notes (I recommend purchasing them from CopyWorks right across from campus or printing them off each day before the lecture) Do the homework, and Study for exams using the practice exams. Definitely attend the SI sessions for help early on if you need extra help.
- Clear lecture explanations - Easy homework(basically provided you with solutions) - Easy test (with almost full detail about the test,sometimes even tells u the exact question) - Easy project (provide tons of help: office hours, SI session, help lab, whichever u prefer) What else could you ask for? :)
Anne really cares about her students. This is a tough class that requires the online textbook as it contains an access code for homework. Go to class and do the homework and you will be fine.
284 is a pretty easy class. I didn't go to lecture for 12ish weeks of the semester and still got a B+. Make sure to do the learnsmarts and homeworks and it's a piece of cake.
I love her! She was an awesome professor who really connected with her students. She made accounting easier than I thought it would be to learn! Open to questions and gave good feedback. I would take another class with her!
I want to take all of my Accounting courses through her. She's very clear about what she expects and she prepares her students for tests very well. People who complain are those jerks who spend all of lecture chatting with their friends.
She seems really nice and willing to help and made the lectures about as interesting as they could be. The tests were tough though, and weren't much like the practice exams, the homework or what we talked about in class.
I'm literally in love with Dr. Clem. Her tests are tough if you don't study, but she gives 3 extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and she is super easy to talk to. She is definitely one of my favorite professors on campus!
I'm usually not a fan of my businesses classes but Clem made this one pretty good. She's got a good delivery in lecture that's both informative and generally entertaining enough. Has a good feel for how students operate and has super realistic expectations in terms of required work.
Dr. Clem makes accounting seem super easy. She explains concepts, and what she talks about in class is the only information on the exams. If I could take any other class in the world with her, I would in a heartbeat. Such a sweet lady, and she really wants everyone to learn and succeed.
Excellent professor. Knows exactly what material to focus on and does a great job explaining the hardest parts during lectures. Lots of great stories and anecdotes too, that actually relate to our topics. Really understands how students work and learn. Tests are harder than average, but everything you need is in the notes, just be sure to study.
Wonderful teacher. Breaks down just about everything she talks about. Uses interesting examples and stories, which is tough to do for a subject like accounting. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and caring. She has PowerPoints that she'll post online that are directly related to the test, but I strongly suggest to go to her lectures.
Dr. Clem has such a good structure set for the class! She posts her slides online right up front so you can take notes directly on them. Course project is laid out very well with step-by-step help. Homework prepares you well for exams. Explains everything VERY WELL in her lectures. Also adds fun stories and makes the time enjoyable.
She is a very good professor. Come to class and you will do just fine.
Anne is a decent professor at most, and I say that not because I have a problem with her teaching It's simply her attitude when she emails back. There was a time when I asked her a question about the Homework that we had to do, and she told me to "refer to the text." I don't want to sound like I have a problem looking in my book, but really?
She explains the content really well and makes class interesting by telling funny, personal stories. She really wants you to succeed in the class, so you should definitely show up and pay attention. There is a project, but it's honestly not that bad if you don't wait till last minute. Easy extra credit offered towards the end of the semester.
Professor Clem is a great professor when it comes to lecturing. Really makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. I wish she wouldn't tell so many personal stories during class time. We could probably finish the lecture in 30 minutes w/o the stories. If you have a question, she may email back, but it will probably be vague.
Really knows her stuff and makes the classes worth while. Made the subject easy to understand and would recommend getting into her class. Exams and homework weren't difficult as long as you attend class.
Clem was by far one of my favorite professors so far. Even though class is not necessary I would suggest going because she gives good tips on how to do things and gives you ways to help remember material for the test. There are two assignments per chapter three test and a final as well as a project.
Tests were ridiculously hard for the material and practice she gave us. I took Organic Chemistry 2 that same summer and got a better grade in that class than this basic Accounting course. There wasn't enough time given on tests and questions were confusing to understand. Project was long and just busy work.
Acct284 with Clem was a class I just wanted to take it get done with, but it was much more complicated than that. All three of her midterms were very difficult and much more in depth than what we did in class. I studied for several days and hours before each exam and struggled to do average. The project and homework were easy.
Dr. Clem is an awesome instructor. She's easy to understand, simplifies difficult concepts very well, gives real world examples and does a lot of demonstrations. Gives lots of opportunities to receive points too, through homework, projects, exams, and some EC. Always willing to go the extra mile to help students as well. Great experience!
Dr. Clem is amazing! I would talk every class of hers if my schedule allowed! She makes the lectures fun and interesting. I took this as an 8 am but she made it worth getting up for. Great to listen to. Definitely take notes and use those plus the exam review for studying. Overall great teacher and class!
Clem has a good enthusiastic tone when she teaches which I respect, but the thing about her is that when you email her asking a question she doesnt really care. i asked her a specific question on the homework one time, and she told me to look in the book. Like maybe the reason why i asked in the first place was bc i couldnt find it in the book.
Very easy project points & extra credit are available. If you do the work and attend class, clem will hand you an A on a silver platter. Her engaged tone and expert lectures make the material easy to understand. A lot of online homework for this class. Just do it. Its easy.
Anne Clem is the best professor I've ever had. She gave you what you needed and told you what you needed to do to get an A, without spoon feeding you. I genuinely learned so much about accounting and I never felt unprepared for an exam. Don't take this if you're lazy or want to be spoonfed. She wants you to do well in both her class and at ISU.
Professor Clem was very good. She uses real work examples that really help you understand the content and really want you to succeed. The tests are very difficult but there is a huge project that gets you a ton of points if you do it. Also some good extra credit opportunities
Tests are somewhat difficult. Class is not mandatory but it helps you learn the material. Go to the SI exam reviews!
Anne is a pretty good professor. Her class is set up so that you can get 100% on your homework. There's a semester project which wasn't bad but I would recommend starting right away. Her exams are easy if you do the homework. You will use the book so at least buy the online version.
If you have to take Acct 284, take it with Anne. She makes you want to be there and explains everything so clearly.
Clem is an amazing teacher who is always willing to help her students. Attendance is important because you go over a lot of materials each day. 1 LearnSmart and 1 homework assignment due each week. START YOUR PROJECT EARLY. IT IS NOT THAT HARD BUT YOU JUST NEED TIME.
Do the homework. If you can find a group of people to work with, the class is pretty simple. You don't need the book but you will want the PowerPoint slide notebook and the access codes. One big project towards the end of the semester, but again, if you have some acquaintances it's a breeze.
Dr. Clem is the best! She takes a class that could be a pain and makes it as interesting as she can. He lectures are incredible and she is quite funny, too. Homework and LS each week you can easy get 100% on. Exams and projects are moderately difficult but she is helpful with questions, even late night emails. You WILL be OK in this class with her!
Although this was my hardest class, she was an AMAZING professor. She is very caring and respectful about EVERYONE in the class, even though there are over 200 students in the lecture. She is always sending reminders about homework, exams, extra credit, SI sessions, etc. Study hard for the exams and work hard on the project!
She is an amazing professor and cares about her students. She tells you everything that will be on the exams. Also, she is very interesting to listen to and has some good stories.
Great professor! Makes class fun and tells good stories. Material can be a little tricky.
She made coming to lecture fun and I paid attention in class.
Really cares about each student. Best prof I have ever had for sure!
Does a great job explaining each concept in detail, assigns relevant homework assignments, and has very fair exams. Professor Clem a great example of an ideal college professor.
Best instructor I've had so far at Iowa State. Clem really cares about you getting a good grade and will tell you exactly what you need to study for. Her lectures are great, so do not miss them. Taking this class without going to class will make it so much harder for you. She makes the content easy to understand, so don't miss class!
Go to lectures, and do all the homework. Buy the note packet for class, attending SIs and doing the practice test helped me to do well on the test
Her class lectures are really easy to follow. I would recommend showing up to class to get the blanks filled in on the class notes.. If you don't show up, then you have to read the book in order to pass. Hw are simple and easy. Studying only class notes is ok for the test and the Qs are the same as the sample exams (same Qs/different #s).
Honestly, I hate this class. Prof Clem is fine. she makes you work for it and things can be unclear at times. She doesn't answer emails well so there's that. all in all, if you have to take this class just try and power through.
Dr. Clem is one of the best professors I've had at Iowa State. She is very clear with instructions and she's very experienced, so she knows what she's doing. She knows how to keep lectures entertaining, but she's pretty strict with electronics out during class, so watch out for that. Otherwise, she's a great option and I highly recommend!
I highly recommend purchasing her notes at Copyworks, the notes guide you through the entire semester and make studying for exams much easier. Lectures are very informative and helpful.
Overall, not a bad class. Although you have to be perfect to get an A. Need to watch lectures to get a decent grade. Two homeworks every week, but never on the same day and never assigned on the same day every week.
No attendance/class. As long as you do your work you will be absolutely fine. If you are struggling Anne's youtube videos are extremely helpful. I had no issues with her all semester. A lot can be looked up on Quizlet for the exams. Shhhhh
I looked at rate my professors to see how she was and everyone gave her amazing reviews. I thought she was HORRIBLE! When taking the online class the exams were proctored through proctorio, the software would not work on my computer no matter what I tried, she was understanding at first, but then told me I need to have good laptop. MEMORIZATION!!!
Clem is something. You love her and hate her all at the same time. Her class is very manageable if you put the work in. Class project is probably the worst thing about this year. She doesnt explain it very well and you are pretty much on your own to figure it out. That being said, Id take her over the other professor.
Took ACCT 284 and was very good. Taught very well by Professor Clem. Work was not tedious at all and exams were fairly easy.
One of the BEST professors I have ever had. She's helpful and caring to her students as long as they respect her and at least try in the class. Doesn't like screens in class so you won't be able to write your notes on your laptop. Going to class is worth it, she gives hints on the homework and on future tests. Do the homework before the due date!
Great professor. Very clear on expectations and assignments. Gave great online recorded lectures that explained things in a way that made it easy to understand. A great professor for my first accounting course at Iowa State. I don't think you can get a better professor for accounting.
Very experienced and caring instructor. Would highly recommend. Will make you work for your grade but expectations and clear and thought out with the students in mind.
Anne Clem truly cares about her students. She provides great tools to succeed on the exams and creates an entertaining lecture environment. I highly recommend and would most definitely take a class from her again.
She is by far the best professor on campus. Accounting 284 is hard especially with no experience, but she tells you exactly what you need and is always supportive of her students and wants to see them excel. She is amazing.
Clem is a fantastic professor. She replies promptly and interacts with the students in lecture. HW is easy, and so are quizzes. Exams are hard, but SI session help A TON. Go to lecture and contact her if you do not understand the material. Get a tutor early if you need one because after Exam 1, everyone wants one.
Professor Clem's lectures for 284 have been my favorite at Iowa State! She always makes time for students to ask questions after class and always responds to emails quickly. Very very knowledgeable and makes sure to sprinkle in plenty of applicable stories into the lectures to keep you engaged. The BEST accounting prof!
Hands down my favorite professor here at Iowa State. Not only is she a great professor, but she also cares for each and every one of her students. She is always willing to help. The homework and project are applicable to your learning. Go to class to get the lecture notes as that will help on the exam. Apply yourself and you will do great.
What you learn is nothing like exams
One of a kind professor who knows exactly what she is doing and talking about. You can clearly see how much she cares for her students. The weekly assignments are not hard but can be time-consuming. Make sure to study at least a week in advance for exams as they can be very difficult. She is a great communicator and will bring you to success
Accounting 284 is one of the harder classes I have taken at Iowa State so far, but Anne Clem has the class set up in a really good way. She is quick to respond to emails and gives many resources to help you complete your work. Overall, I would take a class with her again.
You must take ACCT284 with this woman. She genuinely cares about every single one of her students. Handles her huge lecture sizes well and is so clear on concepts and criteria. She met with me outside of class to help me decide on my major. She has not only helped me in this course, but for my major and in life as well. Please take a class with her
I am not going to lie but this class is not an easy A. It is hard and you have to work hard to earn your grades. But the teacher is super nice and wants you to succeed. If you focus and work hard from the beginning and do not slack off, you will do great in this class. It is a heavy lectured base class. There is also a big project for this class.
Professor Clem was the best professor I've had at ISU. The class was hard but she made it so much better. Make sure to attend class and take notes if you want to do well. Overall 10/10 loved her.
Lectures were fun, detailed notes that help with test. Homework each week, follow the step-by-step for homework. Tests are rough but if you prepare, they aren't impossible. No curves for the tests. Project has a good weight added to grade.
Her lectures were 15% course topics and 75% personal stories. I felt overwhelmed with homework because I did not learn enough from lectures, and the notes had to come from the lectures. I do not recommend her.
I was in Dr. Clem's online section and every assignment was well-detailed with clear instructions. She provides plenty of material and resources to be successful in every aspect of the course.
I LOVE ANNE CLEM!!!!! She's one of my favorite professors, she genuinely cares about her class and her students! ACCT 284 is not easy, but she makes it feel more simple. She gives great study tips and tricks. She never tries to "trick question" her students, everything is very black and white.
Anne was so kind and really wants students to do well. This class was difficult but you will be fine if you are ready to put in the work!
Attendance is not mandatory but you will have a much easier time with the exams and homework if you go to class instead of trying learn it all yourself online or from a friend. Clem responds very quickly to emails and is always willing to help. She also is very interactive in lectures and applies concepts to the real world. Very good at her job.
Clem Is amazing and so willing to help in any way to make you successful. However, with that said the class is not easy. You need to attend the lectures and put in the work outside of class or you will not do good. I did not put in much studying and skimmed by.
She is amazing. The lectures were actually interesting to me, and she was a great teacher. She actually wants you to do well, and her exams are super straightforward to everything we learned in class. Attend lectures because it is much easier to learn and she actually teaches you how to do stuff! love her
Dr. Clem is the most professional and helpful professor I have yet to find while being at ISU. Her lectures are critical to your success of the course, so be sure to attend each and every one. She knows her stuff and it is very obvious she loves teaching accounting. The exams are tough, but with studying and following her advice, you'll pass!
Professor Clem made accounting a class I wanted to work hard in and show up to. Attendance is not mandatory, but showing up to her lectures is key to doing well in the class. She will give you tips on how to perform better on exams. The class is by no means easy, but if you put in the work, you will do just fine.
One of the best professors I've ever had, and it's clear she cares for her students' success. As long as you attend lectures and put in the work, you should do just fine. Otherwise, this class can be very difficult. She goes through lots of practice problems which helps a ton and makes expectations clear when it comes to exams.
Dr. Clem was a terrific professor and made sure to make lectures engaging so that you could best understand the material. She is not a trick grader and made expectations straight-forward and clear. Highly recommend!
Dr. Clem was one of the most amazing professors I've had at Iowa State. She is super knowledgeable and always ready to help if you need it!
Great energy
Professor Clem genuinely cares for all of her students and wants them to succeed. As long as you go to class and actively pay attention, it is nearly impossible to fail. She does everything possible to prepare you for her exams and is always willing to help in any way.
She is a great professor! She is very clear about what is going to be on each exam. Lectures are where I learned the most. She is very thorough and is overall a great professor.
Math is my worst subject but Clem is super practical and made everything very easy to learn as long as you put in time and effort. She is the best professor I have ever had and it's obvious that she loves what she does, which makes the lectures enjoyable. The only way you'll get a bad grade in this class is if you put in zero effort.
I really enjoyed having Clem as my professor for Acct 284. There's no textbook, but you'll want to either print out the notes or have a tablet and stylus to write with. The exams are pretty difficult, but it's a harder class. One thing about Clem is she talks insanely fast, so you better be able to write fast in class.
Dr. Clem is a great professor. I don't enjoy accounting but her lectures are very engaging and are very easy to follow. You learn a lot and I would highly recommend going to class as often as possible. The weekly HW is free points and the course project is easy. Her grading criteria is very clear. If you put in the work and you will get an A.
If you go to class and listen you will do well. Accounting is very hard but Clem made it understandable during her lectures. She would provide examples and stories to make topics easier to understand. She does a weekly email reminder so you will always know what is due when. She cares about her students. I liked accounting with her as my professor.
Participation is not required but since you can't get her notes anywhere else, you have to go to class. I would be fine with going to class if she actually spent the entire time teaching the material. However, she lectures for about 30 mins and then spends the rest of the time talking about her family which most of us do not care about.
Awesome! She only makes notes available in the lectures, so go to the lectures. Accounting is one of the harder business classes but she made it much easier. Great lectures, made everything relatable. Truly cares. I hate accounting but this heavenly professor made it tolerable.
Cares about the students. Wants everyone to pass. The course isn't too tough if you pay attention and follow what she wants you to do.
She's genuinely a pretty amazing professor. She's very good at teaching the material and clearly cares about the students. Easy course as long as you stick with it, especially when it gets harder a little later on.
Anne Clem is the best teacher I have had so far at Iowa State. She taught in an easy way to learn while also challenging me.
Taught very well and was good at relating to students and helping them to understand.
Just show up to class and do the homework. She is very accessible outside of class and helpful. Project isn't difficult, just a bit time consuming. Overall this is a well run course.
Clem did a great job at teaching an introductory accounting class. At the start of the class, she explains how to succeed, and it does work. One thing I recommend doing that will have you smooth sailing is doing the readings. Sure, they take some extra time, but when you get to the lecture, it will make so much sense, and it pays off.
It is incredibly clear that she cares about her students and it shows. For me, I absolutely did not like accounting, but she made it bearable enough. Her stories in class were extremely entertaining to listen to. I strongly recommend that anyone who is taking Accounting 284, take it with Clem.
Show up to class and get the packet, if you do this and try you will easily succeed in this class.
She gives you so many chances to be successful in her class. She has very clear expectations and if you meet them, you will have a good grade. Clem is the best professor I have ever had at Iowa State and I would love to take more classes from her!
Professor Clem makes the dreaded accounting material engaging and manageable. While attendance is mandatory, her lectures are worthwhile. Doing the readings and using Unstuck study for study prep made this class smooth sailing.
The most amazing person in the world!
She's amazing, she really cares about all of her students. The class is difficult but it's not her fault the material isn't easy to learn. She emails back super quick and she is extremely accommodating.
ACCT 2840 is a difficult class regardless of whom you take it with. Professor Clem does a great job at teaching the material. Class can feel a tedious at times due to the nature of the assignments. She does have a strict no phone/laptop policy if that matters to you. Very nice and caring teacher who is always willing to help!
Clem is by far the best professor I have had at Iowa State to date. You can tell she really cares about her students and wants to see them do well on exams and in life. She makes classes interactive, which makes them something I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday. She also gives us plenty of resources to review and do well on the exams.
Just so bad
Overall, she was a great professor. The class was probably one of the easiest I've taken. I strongly recommend taking this class with her.
Professor Clem spent most of class time talking about the latest football game or her grandkids. Completely out of reach through online office hours. Made an already difficult class more challenging. Would not recommend.
Good. Really cares for students and their success. Makes class fun and easy to follow
I love Professor Clem! She was amazing and awesome take! Her classes were very focused with clear notes and very very approachable!
Great lectures, easy to follow, and even easier to get in contact with. Really amazing teacher who loves what she is teaching.
Amazing prof. Nothing more to add that other people haven't said. Take this class.
She's amazing 10/10
She's the only professor that has motivated me enough to attend nearly every lecture. I personally struggle with attendance, and she made lectures worth it. I wish I could work with her more, but my major isn't related to accounting at all. Overall as a professor, she's 10/10 and she makes this course really easy to succeed in.
The lectures were amazing and the notes were easy to follow along with.
She is a great professor and seems to genuinely care about students.
Nothing bad to say. Build your schedule around her because it is worth it.
Very recommend!
Not super difficult if you actually go to class and pay attention.
She is a good teacher, she does tend to have her yap sessions but she is by far the best acct 284 professor. she makes her notes very easy to follow and does truly care about her students success.
Prof Clem is the best accounting prof you can have. She genuinely wants you to succeed. The material is difficult but she does her best to make it in a way students can understand.
Prof. Clemm has been my favorite professor so far at ISU. Her lectures are highly engaging, and you can tell that she has a genuine passion for accounting. There are several opportunities for extra credit, and as long as you attend lectures, the class is not too difficult. She is also readily available outside of class and wants you to do well!
Professor Clem is my favorite professor at ISU. She genuinely cares about all of her students and how well they do. She is very personable and helpful. She tells you the exact topics and the number of questions related to each topic on the exams, while also doing a practice exam in class before each exam. There are a lot of extra credit points.
Great teacher best prof ive had at iowa state so far
Extremely good prof
Anne Clem is the absolute best choice for ACCT 2840. She is very clear with her assignments and exams, gives you a note packet, and offers extra support through GA tutoring and help labs. As long as you show up to class and commit, you will easily maintain a good grade in her class.
As an engineering major with zero background in accounting or the business world, she made everything easy to understand. She genuinely cares about her students and sets up the class in a way that makes it hard to do poorly unless you actively try not to succeed. If you put in even minimal effort, you can definitely earn an A.
One of my favorite teachers/professors at any level!
Loved her!
