EXTREAMLY BORING, the most boring professor iv ever had, trust me, the worst professor you can imagine, boring, not fun, not interesting, i didnt learn anything, if u want a good laugh (if boring people make you laugh) then take her class lol, she makes for some good jokes
DO NOT TAKE HER! she thinks all her students have no life & and only have one class and no job. assigns way too much hw for chapters, gives NO REVIEWS for tests!! wants you to memorize the whole book!! only 3 tests, 2 are worth 20% and final is worth 40%. super paranoid during tests doesnt even let you breathe normal, separates desks, STAY AWAY!!!!
Stay away from this terrible professor! her idea of teaching is reviewing all the boring homework she gives, you dont understand anything in her class, I dreaded going there, literally talks til the last min, hawks you when testing final is worth 40% and other 2 tests are 20% each. treats you like you're still in elementary.
Worst professor Dade has ever hired! Doesnt teach anything, only goes over the massive homework she gives out.NOT one review all semester, BORING BORING!! Take any other prof but her. LISTEN TO ME! BIGS MISTAKE
Great Class and Teacher; not sure what everybody else is talking about; Prof Fernandez gave lectures on the chapter first and then went over the homework problems; lectures were helpful and interesting; homework problems emphasize the important stuff; hard tests but fair; she grades on a curve; You need to work hard but you will definitely learn;
if she was the only teacher left for a class i needed, i would wait til the next sem to choose a diff prof.too much hw, tests no reviews, her teaching sucks.grades participation on her opinion of u. & for attendance just go for half the class and shell mark u here.ppl in my class did that and got full credit for it. AVOID, AVOID!! take my advice
Everyone that wrote bad about this professor is just lazy. I got an A in the class and all i had to do is study the day before the exams and listen in class. If you are planning on transfering to a University this is good prep course unless you're planning on staying at Rinky-dinky Miami Dade.
excellent professor. made a very difficult subject understandable. definitely recommend.
It sounds like shes writing all the positive comments about herself, lol. If you were to ask EVERYONE in my class about her, it would all be negative comments. I met some people during lab that were also in her class and everyone said the same thing, she isnt a good professor at all. if she doesnt like u, she will make it so u wont pass the class
She knows the subject but she is not clearly when she explains. Very hard class, you will need stuby by yourself. A lot of assignments and the end you don't know if she added to your grade.
From reading comments, i was expecting the worst. But no, she is a great prof!!! She is nice and helpful and class is good. Despite a long 3 1/2 hour class, she made time go by quick. Plan to take her again for next class.
She's a great professor-very nice...the material can be boring but she helps you out if you don't understand...defenitely have to study from the book, for any detail, just incase for exams...
worst professor at Dade. Got a D with her, retook it with another professor and got an A. she makes u nervous during exams, horrible teaching skills. AVOID!
if you are a regular or good student, then she is one of the best professors you will have. if you are a bad student that wants to get an easy A or like to cheat then she is one of of the worst.
Terrible professor! shes so boring and crazy. goes insane during tests, you cant even breathe the wrong way. if she doesnt like you, shell make sure you fail her class. her teaching skills are a big mess and get you confused. she needs to go back to sitting in an office and leave teaching for the good professors.
After taking accounting last semester with prof. Fernandez I switched my major to accounting. She is a very kind and most importantly a very smart professor! If you want to learn and are motivated to study and work for a well deserved A then this class is for you. If you are lazy and want to slack keep looking.
Excellent Professor, knows the material very well, helps those who do not understand, very kind when curving grades.
Worst Professor at MDc. Her teaching skills are terrible, she is not clear. Stay away from this professor!
Super kind professor, explains everything with details. Very respectful and smart. Keeps the class focused and knows how to get students involved and interacting with the class. I recommend her to everyone.
Professor Fernandez is AWESOME! People that say that she is super hard, are people that don't study. You have to apply yourself in her class. She is EXTREMELY helpful and she even refers you to a tutor for the coure if you need additional help. She is ALWAYS there during office hours, and wants her students to understand the material.
Her teaching technique is "LEARN ON YOUR OWN TECHNIQUE" she is there to help out but only after class, she doesn't let people ask her questions about a previous chapters during class, she talks to you like you've taken financial and accounting classes before I DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING with her she doesn't know how to explain. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!
I don't know what all these people are talking about. If you fail her class it's because you didn't consider it important and therefor didn't pay attention or study. If you apply yourself and do all the required work you'll do more than fine. She's very helpful and sweet. TAKE HER !
Great Teacher!I've always had problems with numbers and hard study.Nonetheless, the teacher was always helpful, even when she was in her office or doing something else.Went to ask her things about the class at least 20 times during the semester and she was always helpful with me.She evn got a tutor 4 me! Study and you will learn a lot a get an A!
Good professor. Just study the textbook and take the practice questions seriously and you will get an A. Very sweet person and is understanding. Textbook is a must... I would start reading the chapters 2 days before each exam and got above a 90 on all of them.
Professor Elise Fernandez is a wonderful educator. This subject requires a lot of patience, effort, and time and she definitely delivers. This professor is sweet, clear, and extremely helpful. Read the book, take notes, do the labs and practice as much as possible. It will be a smooth ride.
She is a very sweet person, is sobody easy to talk with. You will never fall asleep in class. The exams are not easy, but if you read the chapters and do the lab, you'll be more than fine. Sometimes she curves the tests. Take her and read the chapters.
She's such a nice person yet alone teacher. She's really helpful and understanding. If you take the time to read the chapters and reread you will score a decent C or B. Her assignments on the other hand are a piece of cake and will help balance your grade. It was a pleasure to have her as a teacher.
very nice & understanding to the students. test are easy u just have to read and study for sure! she covers basic points of the chapters so u have to do most of the reading at home, make sure u learn the key terms. the only thing i didn't like was when she would talk her lectures would be a bit boring. if you do all the work and study u can pass.
She's very well knowledged about what she's teaching but her lectures are boring. She only lectures the main ideas of the chapters so you do need to read at home. Her test aren't hard if you really study for it. The test consist of mostly vocabulary. It's not a hard class you just need to stidy for her tests and you'll be fine.
She is boring, spends class not teaching material that's on the test, plug your ears for all the irrelevant material. However she is very nice and does curve the tests quite a bit. Got a B in the class but ill admit i didn't work for an A. It is what you make of it.
I would not recommend this professor.
I thought class and professor were great. She is very helpful. I found class to be interesting and it kept my attention despite that it was a 3 hour class twice per week! Recommend.
I loved this class and the professor, especially compared to the previous accounting class (2021) with another professor. I think that Prof. Fernandez makes the class interesting and she explains very well. I am actually thinking of switching majors.
She is a really chill teacher, she is super nice when it comes to grading ,at least for the class geb1011 she is, she doesn't give u a lot of hw u just have to do the postest on mind tap and she doesn't care what u get as long as you do it and to pass the tests you just need to read the chapters and learn the vocabulary words and you'll get an "A"
I liked the class and learned a lot. Good Professor. Recommend
She's an amzing professor and very sweet and understanding :)
She is a great professor. She explains everything good and is willing to help you. Definitely recommend.
I took the 2 accounting classes with her. I learned a lot from her. I think she is very knowledgeable , was always very helpful and understanding.
If you do homework and study, you will get a good grade and learn. She is a great professor. Definitely recommend.
Best professor ever!!!! I wish all my other professors would have been more like her.
I am an accounting major and needed a professor to help me understand the material really good. She did that. I will be taking her again for Managerial. She is very helpful and patient.
Very, Very hard Professor.
I think she is a very good professor. I definitely recommend taking her. Yes, accounting is hard, but she definitely helps to make it understandable
I took her for 6 week ACG2021. If you study really hard you can scrape by with a C. Do not recommend taking her for the 6 week course.
Don't take her! I don't recommend this professor because she teach what it is important from the book; however you will need to read everything because her test will included the entire book. No reviews are giving, no extra credit, attendance & participation are mandatory but it doesn't help you towards your final grade; lab & HW are long & hard!!
she's a great teacher!! The only way to not pass is to not try at all. Good feedback clear from day one attendance does matter!
The worst professor ever. He put exercises that they are not the same at class. She change formulas that even appear in the book, so you cannot get a good answer. I think she did everything in purpose. No office hours and even help.
SHE HAS TO BE THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. This is my first virtual class, you'd think someone would be a little but compassionate BUT NO. If you have a question to ask, she won't answer it. If you ask her to please help she says "good luck".. idk about any of you but she sounds pretty rude and I strongly do not recommend her!
I had Prof. Fernandez for both accounting classes. I thought that she was a great professor. She was very helpful to me. I definitely recommend taking her
I am taking this class online and it is not bad but she assigns video quizzes and the questions have nothing to do with the videos and I read the chapters in the book multiple times and it still doesn't really make sense. That is the only thing that I dislike about the class.
She is an amazing professor and will help you as long as you want to learn, she knows what she is doing, the class is not easy you have to study but as long as you do your work you will be fine she is very flexible with grading, try to not take a blended class and it will be even easier
The first test was more vocabulary then anything else, but she won't tell you that she says it is like your homework. Your homework was problems that weren't even on your test. The second test was a mixture of vocabulary and problems. There are two tests and a final that is cumulative.
very nice lady! She took off two chapters since we had so much to do in our 6 weeks. she's understanding, and Always helpful! would definitely take her again.
She is one in a million teachers that actually teach, you learn what accounting really is! Her test are 50 question and 2 or sometimes 4 extra credit questions she will add. Your overall grade is based on the tests, homework (which are easy), attendance, and participation. If you complete all your homework it weighs as much as a test grade.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had.
Awesome.
This Professor never reviewed any task before the final exam, and only communicated to tell us that we had the final exam, and finally to thank for the classes. My recommendation is:think before registering classes with this Professor, she is not interested in teaching students..
Overall Elisa is an good professor. However, the class consists of 3 tests and the online homework and you wont know your grade because she doesnt put it on blackboard. Thats the difficult part, she should put grades on blackboard and give better test reviews. She says the tests are based on the homework but they arent.
I recommend Prof. Fernandez. She is a great professor! She is nice and explains things good and tries to help you. You can definitely get a good grade but you have to work on it. You can really learn a lot with her.
Best Prof. ever ! I had her for the two accounting classes and I loved how she teaches. She was great and really helps you learn. She actually teaches unlike a lot of other professors. One of the best professors so far that I have had.
I thought Professor Fernandez was great. I worked hard but it was worth it when I got a good grade. She has 3 tests and the homework is considered another test. The homework is easy but takes up time. Attendance also counts so you have to show up to class. Her tests are hard but if you study, you will do good. Overall, great class.
Accounting is difficult for me. But Prof. Fernandez was one of my best MDC professors. She really explains things so that you understand. If you need extra help, go to her office. I definitely recommend her. Trust me, I failed with another professor.
I took this class online and it was hard to find anything, very disorganized and messy. Due dates for things were either missing or different in different places. This professor never answers emails or phone calls. I tried reaching her for weeks and no luck. I finally had to drop the class. Would never take again.
Highly recommend; I took her for both Financial and Managerial classes. I learned a lot from her and found Prof. Fernandez to be very nice and helpful. She actually teaches you and helps you understand the textbook.
Care for students
Only took this class online due to COVID19 everything is online so face to face was clearly not an option. Being in these circumstances you'd think she be a little bit more understanding with assignments and the load of work she gave in a mini term. I dislike the fact that she wasn't understanding of the situation given the circumstance.
I took her online accounting class 1 with her, I only listened to her in the virtual room, if you take the job in Cengage where there are also exams without proctored, you will have an A
Great professor!! Would definitely take him again.
She is a great professor but there is a lot of homework I took her for a short time period thou, the work was a lot but she is very caring for her students, you will have to do lots of homework for the class and the lab, and you will have three test, don't procastinate!! especially if you join for the 4 - weeks. Everything will be do in cengage
Accounting is hard, and since I took it all online you're basically teaching yourself; however, prof. Fernandez is there to help if you don't understand something or need help. There's a lot of homework but it isn't hard, 10 Chapters, 3 Tests, 1 proctored final.
The course was difficult because of the workload and the online format. You really have to be committed and make sure you understand all of the concepts because otherwise you will fail the exams. The final is proctored. If you put in the time and really want to learn you will do well but if you don't put in effort you probably won't get an A.
Great professor, very helpful. Easy class with her.
She is a fantastic professor. She is charming during his classes and explains everything clearly. Super accessible outside the classroom. 2 tests (50 questions each and 2 extra credit) and a final (50 questions no extra credit). All homework is on Cengage.
I would have rated her better if it wasn't for the fact that she wouldn't help with homework and didn't announce one of our midterms. She wouldn't reply to emails and if she did, a week would have already passed. She made everyone buy a super expensive textbook and use cengage. She had some moments in person where she was nice.
I needed to take this lab and had never taken anything of accounting. She did not teach in this lab or her class. I had to watch YouTube videos to teach myself and it took me hours to understand, it was nearly impossible. The "online class" was here being in on BB for 30-45 minutes to help people but no one could ever actually get their answers.
Great Class. Prof helps make accounting easier to understand. gives good lecture notes in Blackboard. If you do the Cengage work, you will do good in class.
She is an amazing professor, she is passionate and makes sure everyone understands the content.
lots of cengage HW but manageable, "easy" class
Online the class is pretty easy, the workload consists of 11 chapters on mcgraw hill, 3 exams, 3 discussions, and 1 final.
The course material in and of itself isn't terrible but i did not like the way this professor lectures. It was hard to understand and sometimes she would talk more about her personal life and experiences rather than the course. I found it hard to concentrate through lectures.
Prof is helpful and teaches clearly. You will learn with her. Lots of homework but not that bad.
All HW is due at the end of the term BUT NO NOT fall behand. She teaches well and sometimes share some experiences when she teaches. It can get a bit boring but very helpful. You got question ask and go to her office hours. Very nice and patient. Had 3 test in total including final. Make sure to good on the first ones. She does round it a bit too.
Made sure everyone understood the content of lectures. Loved answering questions and was very approachable. Shared personal experiences that made lectures interesting. Opened assignments module by module as we covered them. As long as you showed up to zoom lectures, she counted attendance. Gave all quizzes 100s as long as they were attempted.
