The worst class I've ever taken. Teaching is straight up awful. Her lectures are a video of her reading off a piece of paper & following along with her finger. She does't explain ANYTHING. Literally just says "this is this & this is this". I haven't learned a single thing in this class at all & I cannot believe a graduate course is taught like this

She is nice, but no extra credit or curves re given. Her lectures arent helpful and the test are beyond hard. This class is harder than my other 5 combined. Do not recommend taking her.

Professor Foster is a very sweet person, but it was just difficult to take remotely. She gives you recorded lectures and other practice problems, but they aren't very similar to the tests at all. ACCT 229 for me was not easy to take without a face-to-face professor, so dropping was best for me. If you do take Foster, attend the SI Sessions!!

Worst class taken by far. Shes gotta be the laziest prof ever and a perfect example of how not to teach. Every lecture-vid is focused on what something is and not why/how something works. hw is useless, worked examples will maybe apply to one test question. cheating is rampant cus u dont actually learn anything. there is no succeeding in her class

This class was absolutely horrible. The format should be changed significantly or scrapped. I am not sure how much professor Foster has to do with this, but she did not help at all during the course. The materials she provided were essentially useless.

Terrible class, took 209 but it wont let me choose it probably because then she would have an even greater amount of 1 star reviews. Unnecessarily hard exams with study guides that confuse you even more and provide no help for the actual exam. Horrid pacing even for an asynchronous class. I should have never chosen a business minor.

Studied quizzes pretty heavily before exam time and found myself completely lost in the exam as the questions weren't related. The class average on the first exam was 44 and no curve was given, so unless you spending 10+ hours a week on this class I would highly recommend getting your credit for this course elsewhere or with another professor.

ACCT 209. The first exam averaged 48%, 75% of the class scored 60% or lower, and her only comment about it was, "Great job on Exam #1!" I initially wanted to blame the structure of the course, which is primarily taught by a non-TAMU online business course, but she's clearly at least complicit in the poor job they're doing. She doesn't seem to care.

This class should not be allowed to be taught online. Also "taught" is an overstatement because the "teaching" is non-existent. The quizzes are extremely advanced, the class is unstructured, and the HW assignments were replaced by packback. Don't waste your time taking accounting, take it somewhere else no matter what your advisors say.

1. She takes pride on making this course difficult so beware this course is 50% designed for you to learn and 50% for you to waste your time on useless tricks and twists that will hurt your grade 2 Be ready to dedicate 20 hours of your week to this course. If you're a master studetn and are time limited get ready to suffer .

Foster is the worst professor at TAMU. 52 on exam 1, average of 46, and all she said about it was "great job!" This class I structured in order for you to fail. Don't know one person that has a B in the course, let alone an A. I have 3.9 gpa, am taking 4 other courses, all upper level, and acct is the only one i dont have an A in (C in ACCT 209).

This professor is completely disconnected from her class. There's a classroom chat on "Packback" (that we had to purchase including MyBusinessCourse) that she doesn't read at all. The average on the first exam was 50ish and she sent us a "Good Job" message while over half of the class failed the exam. She has no clue what's going on and is absent.

Unbelievable that this can even be called a professor. It ends up being basically a self taught class and the exams are brutal (FRQ heavy, different than quizzes, must show work, lockdown browser, etc.) Averages below 50's is not right. How TAMU lets her solely be in charge of ACCT 209 this year beats me.

She doesn't teach period. You are on your own with the textbook. I started studying 2 weeks in advance for the first exam to get an 82. She obviously literally could not care less about the class. Take it elsewhere if you can.

Terrible class. Extremely difficult. Tests have no correlation to the quizzes. If you are taking ACCT 209 try and get the credit elsewhere and transfer it over.

I would say this class is probably the hardest class Ive ever taken at a university. Quizzes and homework are fine, but tests are extremely difficult and very little time is given for each question considering their difficulty. I would recommend avoiding this class if able.

Absolutely worst way of teaching this class. This should not be an online class, let alone a class with pre-recorded video lectures. Mrs. Foster does not care for any of her students and does not tend to any of their needs. Whenever I asked a question via email, she would say to attend her office hours which involve all students taking her classes

Foster is not a professor I would ever recommend to anyone. I'm wondering as I write this if I should even consider her a professor as she's never once made an effort with her asynchronous student. They should tell students like it is and name the professor of this course the textbook, not the lady who simply organizes Canvas and horrible exams.

The worst...literally said "good job" for a class average of 50. MOnster

Terrible class organization. Uses a third party website that we had to pay for and the lectures are not even from her nor do they help with any of the material. Tests were way more difficult than any practice/example problem we were given. Class avg for first test was a 48 and she sent out a message saying good job. Take this class somewhere else.

I taught this class to myself. The only lectures we had came with the text book and were useless. We also had her class notes which were already filled out. I had a better time with Calc 1,2,3 and Ochem than this class. There is no need for it to be this hard she doesn't teach. I've never left a review on rate my professor but she was terrible.

I have never left a review on rate my professor... but DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!! She does not teach ANYTHING. You have to watch textbook lectures, with no practice problems, just going over "concepts." I have tried to teach myself everything. She gave notes that were already filled out with 0 explanations. Absolutely avoid at all costs!!!!

she is the only prof for 209. get a tutor I have never gotten a tutor for anything but you'll need it. don't wait for the last minute. I studied 40-50 hours for every test. work every problem till you understand how and why. get as many points as you can on the everything else so the tests aren't stressful. I still made a B getting 60s on tests.

Taking this class is pretty atrocious. You're essentially teaching yourself out of a textbook (that you pay for) and some printable notes that offer 0 explanation. I get it, its a weed out class for the business minor, but unfortunately for me this class is required for my major. Hands down sucks.

Trust me, take this class somewhere else. Negative stars should be an option.

Rough class, and I hope she realizes her teaching methods are not working. All lectures are done through a paid program (they suck), except for her examples. Google (acct209) for lectures to save your grade. She didn't release averages for anything, so you don't know how you're doing. 267 Q drops for fall of 22. No curves until end of the semester.

Doesn't Teach, You're expected to learn on your own. I would recommend taking this class literally anywhere else.

The course is organized very well, and she is very clear on requirements and what will be expected of you. It is the way that the material is taught that is absolutely awful. The lecture videos are a waste, and the exams are insanely harder than the weekly quizzes. The exams are also only 75 minutes to complete 25 challenging accounting problems.

Actually an awful teacher. Class itself really isn't super difficult but have to teach self quite literally everything. "Lectures" consist of her covering pre-filled-out notes with a piece of paper and sliding the paper down to read something we could simply see ourselves. If we weren't able to use notes on tests it wouldn't be possible to pass.

How does learning accounting online sound? Well, be prepared to teach it all to yourself. Seriously. Course material consists of: Video recordings of accounting material Weekly discussion board posts Weekly quizzes Big Final Project Tests & More Take this class elsewhere. I dreaded taking this class.

I had all As except for this class, question on the exams totally from quizzes and textbook. I have no ideas how does she have a job, otherwise I could be the professor just send out announcement every week and that's it.

Courtney Foster is an AI. There's no such thing as lectures or accessibility in its' course. You're told what textbook to learn from and set free from there. No amount of notes or resources can get you a good grade on its' tests. It structures its' class in a way that is impossible to efficiently learn. Take ANYWHERE else for the love of god.

She makes you want to put a .45 where it doesn't belong

Does not provide actual lectures. You have to read the textbook and teach yourself the entire class.

This class is waste of time. Take it some where else and transfer it. The whole class is "Self-Taught". She does not teach anything to you and her notes are complete useless. The exams are not proctor and dont expect a curve because apparently who cares about the Aggie Honor Code. Get ready to study 100+ hrs worth and make a 65 or worst.

Absolutley awful. Like embarrasingly bad. The lecture notes she gives out each week are just a mess of random notes with NO context whatsoever. Embarrasing to the university. She should be fired and never hired ANYWHERE EVER AGAIN.

I have not seen a professor care so little about the course."Lecture" is just videos and reading from the textbook YOU BUY, giving you no feedback for any of your work. Did you have questions about what you got wrong on the exam? Sorry, you can only ask her 3 questions and it must be done within 48 hours of the test. Did an hour daily to get an 80.

Don't do it. If its possible, transfer in this course from a community College for the credit because this class, if you can even call it that, will give you the least amount of guidance possible. The course is split into modules that are focused on you teaching yourself from videos and the book. Extremely test heavy and the tests are hard.

This professor is awful, unfortunately if you're taking this class its probably required. I am a good student, not one to complain about professors this is a warning, if at ALL possible take this class at Blinn. There is literally no material given to learn from except scanned notes which are not even for this class but for the masters equivalent.

Not worth it. She offers a lot of material to help you learn, but most of it comes without explanation so you are on your own. Quizzes and tests are quite difficult. I never personally reached out with a question, but from what my friends say, it's hard to reach her. Don't know what alternatives there are (I'm an engr major), but don't take her.

This course is unnecessarily difficult and this instructor is the only option. Its mostly self-taught and all review sessions are during the regular 9-5 workday so its impossible to get the extra help if you have to work for a living while attending classes, which defeats the purpose of offering a class online in my opinion.

Would have been nice to get extra practice problems for exams. Lot of the info is excess in the notes and never shows up on test. The material itself isn't hard to understand. Spent about 3 hrs a month on this class.

Accounting is just a difficult class to take online if you're not a business major and have never learned it before. She was very nice but if you don't read the textbook and do practice problems it will be hard to pass. The averages for all of the tests were in the 70s. I took over the summer with a full time job and didn't enjoy the stress.

Avoid Courtney Foster at all costs. Examples aren't representative of exam questions. Preparing for days still isn't enough even for students who otherwise receive A's. Packbacks are not weighted enough to improve your grade. I'm disappointed that Courtney is a professor at such an outstanding school. Office hours aren't helpful and very minimal.

Everyone who has something nice to say about her cheated on everything. She does not teach a single thing. She tells you to read the textbook, goes over a few sample problems that are nothing like the quizes or exams, then holds practically no office hours that you can attend. She told us she would curve at the end of the semester but never did.

She doesn't teach, which is common with online courses, but she does not provide any substantial learning material other than her own lengthy and redundant textbook, and her slides which do not reflect the homework or exams. Her TA is useless and takes forever to grade. Would not recommend taking this class.
