She moves quickly, but she links each topic to previous ones and reexplains it. Easy to understand if you can follow her. Each test is moderate however bonus points let you almost always have atleast a 90%. Besides she lets you earn a bunch of bonus points near the end of the simester. An easy 'B'.

Accounting is complex by nature. I had FIN 3403 last semester and wouldn't have done well had it not been for Tanner. She will kill you with the workload, but this is college. Quit whining if you can't get an easy A; instead, earn your grade. Classmates in FIN 3403 had taken the class more than once because they had a weak ACG 2071 background.

She is hard but fair. Acctg is not easy so you actually have to study for those who don't. Out of 5 tests, I got an A, 2 B's and 2 D's. However, she replaced 2 test grades with our final test grade and I managed an A somehow. Go to class & study the hmwk & study her old tests/examples she has online. She is always available for help.

The class itself was very hard. Cost account... a lot of homework that you have to do and master to do well on the tests. But the instructor put in a lot of time to streamline all the important things and give you the tools needed to succeed. I thoroughly enjoyed this class but you will have to put in a lot of time to get a good grade.

Professor Tanner was one of the best accounting professors I've had. She gave numerous resources and a good deal of extra credit, class has a lot of information but the study guides are similar to her exams. The SI's exam reviews helped a ton too. The final was the hardest test without a doubt.

Don't skip class. So much material is covered each class that it will be detrimental to your grade to skip. I didn't pick up the textbook at all in this class, as long as you go to class and utilize her Study Hall page you won't need the book ever - seriously. This class takes a lot of effort but Tanner is the best and she will get you through it!!

Professor Tanner is an amazing professor. Because of the "flipped classroom" dynamic it can be difficult for many students to fall behind or find it hard to follow her. As long as you do the work before class or directly after class you can stay on top. She gives all the necessary material to pass her exams and all questions on the exam.
