From the beginning Ms.Alsheimer made it clear what expectations were necessary to do well in this class. Her syllabus was well written and easy to follow. She emphasized that with repetition in the excercises, a student will succeed. I found this advice coupled with the books self review and mini-excercises useful to my success in her class.

Nice sense of humor and playfulness to keep a potentially dry subject interesting. Dr. A. coaches you along to be sure you succeed - for example, she checks homework at beginning of class - which forces you to keep up and read ahead. Extra credit given. Go every class & do the homework. If she puts a box around writing on the board - Quiz next day

Not a fan of this teacher at all.

I took Finance 101 and 202 both from Cornelia, and she assigns so much work. I took Business 101 and 202 from another professor, and the work load from Cornelia was more than double. There are 3 page summaries for every single one of the 16 chapters you go over so over the course of the class you will write almost 50 pages of hand written text.

Avoid this class if you can. So much work to do in so little time. Expect to spend at least 4-5 hrs every 2-3 days as she assigns full chapters of work every 2-3 days. This class is very hard to manage if you are taking any other class. Tests have a lot of questions with little time. I will say it again, insane amount of work avoid.

Expectations and due dates were very clear. There were things due every 2 days. Nothing crazy for a 4 credit 5 week course. Very manageable. Homework is all through cengage which is really helpful. Quizzes are unlimited attempts. The exams were mainly t/f questions. Late assignments are accepted for 25% off your grade. I highly recommend Cornelia.

This class almost made me want to quit accounting. She was disorganized, opened modules late, changed deadlines assignments take sooo long to do and are worth so little. Not enough time to take tests with lengthy word problems. Hardly replies to emails.

Worst teacher I've had. Confusing lectures, gives an INSANE amount of work that counts for very little, makes you HAND WRITE summaries for every chapter, the tests are packed with lengthy, confusing word problems that you don't get enough time for. And she NEVER responds to any messages for help. Horrible.

Be prepared to do 3+ hours of notes a week on top of 2 homework assignments (avg 2.5hr) and a quiz (avg 1hr). The lecture just briefly goes over the highlights of the chapter you just wrote 3-6 pages of notes on. The only thing I liked was the extra credit opportunities, which helped in the long run because this is an exhausting course. LOTS OF HW.

I will say you must stay on top of the work but that is not difficult. Everything in terms of classwork is clear and fair. Grading is simply given if you show up and do your work correctly. It is a 5 unit class so plan your schedule accordingly so you have the time to complete the work. Handwriting is required but personally that is what I prefer.

I don't recommend taking her class unless you really have no other option like I did. She assigns an insane amount of work that takes forever to do. Exams are also long and overall the class is just so exhausting.

If you have any other optioon go with them instead. Her class is one of the worst I have ever had at this school. She gives way too much homework and requires 4 pages of hand written notes for every chapter. She rarely responds to emails, isn't much help when she does. Would highly recommend literally any other professor, Benjamin Reyes especially!

Class was really difficult, if you think you like accounting, this is a great challenge! Prof knows what it takes to understand the fundamentals and pass the CPA, I respect her for taking it seriously and preparing students who might already be in a bookkeeping role.

This is quite literally the worst most impossible class I have ever been in, am quite literally suffering. Everyday I come to this class and feel like a stupid idiot amongst those that seem to understand the subject while I'm struggling to grasp the concept. Get ready to feel the same if you choose to take this class!!! ❤️

The class goes very quick and you do a chapter of the textbook with 7 assignments for that chapter + a quiz every two days. On top of that 3-4 pages of handwritten notes for the chapter. Lots of teaching yourself and class moves very fast. So easy to fall behind. I spend a good 6hrs at least for each chapter.

Whole class is taught by cengage, you'll have to write 3 pages of notes per chapter that you get graded on. Bob who does the lectures is a fantastic individual, all Cornelia does is “grade” your assignments. Like I said 95% of the class is cengage so she doesn't really do much. Be ready to work, I would avoid the summer course at all costs

Dr. Alsheimer and Dr. Woyach for me have been life changing. The courses are supposed to be a little harder, and the help is availble to pass the classes. I managed to stay ahead thanks to the 3 pages we had to submit with each chapter, and that helped me focus on vocabulary and theory.

Brutal. Endless homework, nitpicky grading, exams on barely-covered material. Emails rarely answered; “office hours” feel mythical. Learned more from Google/textbook. I got an A, but I didn't have a life. ake someone else if you value sleep, sunlight, or sanity.

Time consuming !! About 4-5 assignments due every week on each CH. Hardest class I've ever taken. Tons and tons of hmwk you cannot cruise through the class easily. Watch her recorded lectures and follow along with the handouts if you want to learn. TAKE THE PRACTICE EXAMS otherwise you'll be in for a rude awakening.
