It's a shame she only teaches the first level of ACCT - I'd take more if she taught higher levels. Late rule = those on time aren't interrupted (instituted after consistent lates from the same ppl).

Good at explaining accounting principles for students new to the subject. She gives analogies and acronyms which make concepts easier to digest. It might be better if you took her class in person though. She doesn't check the chat often enough for raised hands.
