Don't be a ****. Accounting - especialy Advanced Accouting - is not supposed to be easy. As Jimmy Dugan said in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, "It's the hard that makes it great"... or in this case, it makes you money. Dr. Stewart makes you work, and in turn, that level of work will make you money. Deal with it or die!

Let's face it...Barbara Stewart is tough but very fair. Her "old exams" are worth their weight in gold for this class. Didn't really work that hard, did no homework after the first exam but put in some decent study time before each exam except the cumulative final and pulled a B+. Put a strong grade up on the first exam and you are set.

She doesn't give cookie-cutter exams that are rehashed textbook examples with different numbers. Oh no, her exams are mindtwisters and you better know your stuff.
