totally blows balls..alls she talks about is accounting fraud and doesn't teach jack except how to be uninformative WAY TO GO

This teachers sucks. She doesn't actually reach because she expects you to teach yourself. The first day she told the cladd that 1/2 of us were going to fail, and that she is not there to teach us (only to moderate).

Totolly sucked as a teacher. Doesn't teach the class at all and just "expects" you to get it. Her tests are very hard and you must basically teach yourself or you will fail her class. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that she was a very cute woman who wears these tight outfits!

Make it hard to understand

I have been on the Deans list for 2 semesters. Straight A student, study very hard, prep well in advance, NOT a slacker! Warning: DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Scatter brained, loses thought, students correct her constantly, book is useless, uses her own terms, tests nothing like practice problems, etc. 100% Miserable, should retire!!! Got a "C"!!!

Horrible. Was the worst class I have ever had. She is confusing and doesn't really teach. When ever you have an issue with anything she just says "Ive been doing this for 25 years..."

AWEFUL professor. Makes many topics more confusing than needed. Tests are ridiculous. Avoid if you can.

The only guidance in this course was her syllabus and sadly there was none in class. Her quizzes are ridiculous. People quit their jobs to pass this course. Be prepared to drop money on books not required by the course. She uses them for test questions. Get ready to teach yourself everything again if you're not fresh outta FinA I-II & Managerial.

This person has no business in front of a classroom. She may know the material, but she is completely lacking in the ability to communicate material clearly to others. She really does very little teaching. What teaching she does do will often make the class material less clear. Her tests do not in any way reflect the material in the textbook.

Does grade for correct answers, just grades for HER methodology

She is my least favorite professor that I have had in all of my four years of college. She is scatter-brained and very unprepared for every class, even though she's been using the same material for years. Her classes are frustrating because she has very specific expectations but gives vague instructions. Thankful that she only teaches 1 grad class.

I have no idea how this woman has gotten anything above average. I can see some personalities matching hers better than others, but she is the worst professor I have ever had. This was the "weed out the weak ones" class and she certainly made that her goal. She goes of topic and what is on the test you do not learn in class.

If you don't constantly tell yourself you love accounting, you will not pass her class. She is just a mean person who does not have any business teaching. She talks about herself constantly and goes off on tangents. Material on tests is not covered in class or in the book. Be prepared to read, use the Gleim book, and keep a good attitude.

She was the hardest teacher I have ever taken. We would do the homework she assigned then she would tell us we did it wrong (even though we did it exactly how the book taught us). She expected us to know how the "real world" did it without teaching us the "real world" way. She also said she'd give us 20 quizzes and drop 10, she only gave 13.

Worst Teacher to teach financial accounting. Not a great help with your assignments. you might as well learn from your textbooks and tutors.

I honestly don't have the strength in my soul to leave a proper comment. All I can say right now is, it is very unfortunate that this is the ONLY option for FRA 3. FGCU should be ashamed.

You can't prepare for the quizzes. Reading the chapter, doing the practice problems, and using WileyPlus practice problems won't help. Nothing is curved if everyone fail the quizzes. If you like to be on an emotional rollercoaster this is your professor. Lectures for a new chapter is skimming PowerPoint and a quiz, then a practice problem and quiz.

This was the worst class that I have ever taken. Please do not take this professor at all costs she does not care about her students and does not even teach. She gives no signal as to what the exams are gonna be about. This has been my only class that I have not passed and I put a lot of time into this class.

It is amazing that for the hardest accounting class your only option is the worst accounting professor. Extremely messy handwriting, does not go by the textbook at all, very vague instructions. Awful

This is a 100% unbiased review and factual statements. Doesn't cover the full material in every chapter, tends to get off topic. In class quizzes are hand written (messy) and are nothing like the homework or textbook problems. Don't rely on practice exams for studying. Expect material on exams that you never learned Take any other teacher but her!!

This class is hard as it is, but with a professor who is unable to teach, it makes it almost impossible to pass. This professor doesn't care about her students and barely makes an effort to tell you what's on the exams. The resources she gives out doesn't help at all and I basically had to teach myself everything.

Worst professor I've ever had, her hand writing is terrible, and if you don't get what she is talking about in class she won't even try and explain how to go through it. Expect to teach yourself everything.

This professor is the worst in all of the accounting department at FGCU. Please do not take her! The worst part is that she is the only option for the hardest accounting class which is FRA 3. I am not looking forward to taking her for that class and hopefully FGCU steps up their game and there is another professor or option.

ACG4123 in itself is a difficult class. Dr. Burgess just adds to that difficulty by being the most difficult, un-sympathetic professor I have ever met. Tests look nothing like she teaches and you have to do them her way even if there is an easier way. Average for the quizzes is a 41% and 75% of the class is failing. Will be transferring to get away

More than likely, this class has to be taken multiple times. Awful communication of material. Only professor teaching this class, and the pass rate is atrocious. The quiz averages are failing grades. Material is very technical, and the textbook is not used to prepare for exams. Video lectures are rough too. Worst class I have taken.

Professor Burgess is the hardest is literally the MOST difficult person and lecturer. This class is a very difficult in general and she makes it that much more difficult. It is imperative that you find other resources to teach yourself in order to pass the class. She is also not understanding whatsoever.

I just started taking this professor for FRA 3, I heard many horror stories and read a lot of reviews and they are all correct. This woman is impossible which in turn makes this class impossible. I am going to try my best and hope to pass the class and not retake but yeah, the reviews are right on point.

First off, FGCU should be ashamed. Secondly, this is by far the worst Professor I have ever had. She is rude and tries to embarrass you with the extra credit assignment by having you do a video that is only worth 2 or 3 points. And, if you don't do the extra credit, she takes an additional 2 points off your grade. FGCU should be ashamed.

She is terrible. An extremely difficult Professor. She does not teach you anything like how it is taught in the book. Everything is made up by her and you basically need to be inside her brain to get any of what she is teaching. Her grading is very hard. Her quizzes alone can fail you if you don't do well on them. They are heavily graded.

If you are reading this, it is not too late to switch teachers. This teacher will make your life extremely difficult. She was the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. Imagine you are on a spaceship for the first time with an experience astronaut and she tells you to figure it out while your plummeting at 500 miles per hour back down to earth.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! AT ALL!!!! SHES A HORRIBLE PROFESSOR AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT HER STUDENTS! She literally wont even listen to your questions If you have any, cut you off and is very degrading. I am not recommending FGCU to ANYONE due to them not firing this professor because this reflects on FGCU POORLY!!!

This professor is the worst. Im recommending future students to not take Accounting at FGCU because she doesnt care about her students, shes rude & she thinks we think like her and is unsympathetic towards her students whenever something happens outside of class. This class is already difficult. I wish i took this class somewhere else.

I've had my share of difficult professors. However: First week of the semester, the day of class at 2AM she sends you the chapter you need to read before class, 50 pages long. You must also watch her two online lectures of 30 minutes each. You must also practice problems from the book to be prepared for her Quiz which is at the beginning of class!

She does not follow the book! You spent 5 core classes learning from the book just to have her impose on you her difficult templates. She treats you like a criminal as if you were to cheat, there is more security for her quizzes than to enter the White House. She makes her own exams which follow her templates and include many errors. Does not care!

She is the most unsympathetic and difficult professor i have ever had. The students are not exaggerating when they say that she doesnt care and grades unfairly. The worst part is shes the only professor teaching it i swear she has a secret vendetta against the students. If youre planning to graduate on time go to a diff school.

As a straight-A student, I knew coming into FRA3 she would be brutal but I did not know it would be THAT brutal. Her class is a 9-5+ job on its own of pure studying. I had to work my butt off to just barely make a B. Get ready to have no life and to cry more than you have ever cried before. Quiz on the first day AND directly after exams.

Not only is this course required for certain majors but her grading scale is INSANE. You spend 3 hours in a mind-numbing lecture and she expects you to watch hour long videos after class on top of reading the book. 0/10 do not take her class save yourself the headache and possible failing grade. She is also extremely rude could care abt students.

Her grading is terrible, sets students up for failure. If you're looking to a pass quit your fulltime job, this is yours now. Need to retake again but not with her disappointed I had to even pay for this. :(

I had high hopes when starting this class as Ms. Burgess is such a genuinely nice person, but just when you thought your friendly neighbor was going to bring you freshly baked cookies, reality strikes. Luckily Ms. Burgess took a leave of absence from the school due to personal reasons and we had a great substitute. She simply couldn't teach.

Switch professors or majors! Maybe transfer this course in? Its been a few years, but her class was traumatizing. Normally, I read these posts with a pinch of salt. NOPE! Not hers. She is the last make-or-break Acct class & she's Gandalf. I'm pretty sure I've caught her grading papers smiling while listening to Queen's “Another One Bites the Dust."
