This was one of my favorite classes in WSU's accounting department. Deb always kept the classes interesting and fun. There was a lot of group work, so make sure to get a good group early on. Show up and participate, should be an easy A.

Absolutely dreadful professor. Avoid her at all costs . Homework assignments will not exactly prepare you fo the tests unless you understand the material. Projects in noway prepare you for tests,just serve to be a distraction and time waster. felt like a class designed to fail rather than educate

Look, Deb Jones is not a bad professor. I don't know why everyone is so angry on here. I am not thrilled with the grade I received but I think if I tried a little harder I could have gotten an A. I guess the majority of people who rated her are freshman who have never taken a college course. Some of the exams were a little tricky and a lot homework

1. A LOT OF EXTRA CREDITS EVERYWHERE 2. You HAVE to read and take notes before class (FOR EVERY ACCOUNTING COURSE IN GENERAL) 3. It's only natural to get a lot of homework in an introductory acc. class. 4. She turns cold after the deadline passes so be on your toes. 5. The other accounting profs don't care as much as she did so, I miss her

Tax is not something that can be memorized. It's simply too much. You grade is comprised of perpwork, HW, and learnsmart review on each chapter, 3 projects, and 3 exams. Each exam is broken into two part, in-class (that are open notes, open book, and open internet) and take home. Strongly suggest you work with a team.

Accounting is a tough course, Deb pushes you to do your best. If you don't study or do the homework you will not succeed in this class. No matter who the professor is for accounting you should expect to put in a lot of work. She even says in class "learning accounting is like learning a foreign language"

Dr. Deb is one of the best Accounting professors. She gets a bad name because of the intro class so I was very nervous going into her class. I found most of the things said about her in the intro class are not true in her Tax Class. She is great! Lectures are good material and her exams were open note and half take home/half in-class. Recommend!

She urges you to email her to remind her of things she says she will do. But does not respond to emails or hold herself accountable for not doing what she says she will do.

Professor Jones is a great professor for tax and provides enough extra credit to get an A in the class. There are three exams and six mini projects that are not too difficult. Only bad thing I have to say about professor jones is that she grades extremely slow. Slower than watching a turtle and snail race. LOL but overall great professor and class.

She is in charge of the slides and most of the things the acc department uses. When she sees the class didnt do well on the exams she gives extra credit. There is lots of hw & 3 projects that arent bad. ALSO, she allowed a front and back sheet to make a cheat sheet with whatever you want to write. Without that,i wouldnt have done well.

You either like this professor or you don't. Personally I wasn't fond of her but she was funny and gave a lot of EC. Do the extra credit so it helps you out in the end. The hw, and projects are super easy. You only have to worry about the take home part of the exam and in class exam(3 total).

If you are willing to sit down every week listen to the lectures, read for an hour or so and do the smartbook and homework. There should be no reason you do not get an A. The amount of extra credit given is amazing. Quizzes are 48 questions but graded out of 40. Plus there is extra credit group discussions. Tip: Find quizlets that are for the quiz

I really liked her class. It was very fast-paced tho. Homeworks are posted early, can be done easily. If you study the materials, you should be about to get good grades on the quizzes. The quizzes are out of 48, 8 being extra credits. There are a lot of extra credits. The best thing to do is to just learn and not worry about the grade much.

So here's the thing: ACC 3010 (especially if it's not your major/interest) is a tough class; however, a good prof makes all the difference. Dr. Deb wants her students to succeed-- she's super encouraging about asking "dumb" questions, she'll take time to explain things, and she's quirky. This class is a lot of work, but Dr. Deb is a gem.

The grading system in her class is different, which I loved. She has a point system so if you get 700 (C) points you've passed the class. 800 is a (B) 900 is an (A). Take her

She's a great teacher and a really lovely old lady! Now, talking about course specific , she goes over chapters really fast( Synchronous meetings) and on exam week she starts a new chapter that wont even be on the exam instead of doing a more in depth recap. Homework will feel like busy work at times. "Wash, rinse, repeat" excuse for busy work.

She sometimes deducts points even if you participate in class because she will tell you that you haven't participated enough. Her homework will take hours to finish because they are very lengthy, and points were deducted from projects without any explanation or anything. In short, she is the professor I wont take again and wont suggest for anyone.

It is a lot of work, but an A is easily attainable if you put the time in. Attendance is required, she does take long to grade but responds to emails promptly. Watch lectures/read.
