She is very helpful if you attend class and show effort even though she dosen't take attendance. She is a very friendly professor and knows her subject matter. Pay attention to quizzes!!! Take this class!
Must attend class for examples. Notes are from book and are just read off in class. Usually gets out early. Have to print out all the notes she gives on line. Very hard, must do studing on own.
Very hard. Hardest class I have taken at UNCC yet.
Mrs.Breen is nice, but a difficult teacher. She has a strict attendance and tardy policy. There is a group project due every week and three exams. She talks very fast and has a valley girl voice. Makes the material easy to understand,likes questions
she is a very hard teacher- she talks way to fast; take her her if you just want to look at a pretty teacher. read the book not just the notes; do every homework assigment or you'll never do well on the tests
this lady talks 100mph. and you have to keep up with her. so hard. good luck. requires ALOT of studying. beware!
Betsy and Elizabeth Breene.. same person. check out both ratings
She explains things really quickly but makes it so you can understand. Helpful if you ask questions, you have to study but its accounting so you need to anyway!!
Talks really fast and goes straight by the book, but examples she gives does help. Never anytime for questions or going over homework or quizes she always wants you to email her questions. Really fast pace because of how the acct. department set it up!!
She's really nice and will answer back through email really quick and is usually a big help! She's really difficult though and she talks extremely fast! Otherwise, she's good.
Think a brunette Reese Witherspoon on speed and an ENORMOUS power trip and you have Ms. Betsy Breen.
Class is kinda hard, but its not her fault, just the material. Very helpful and nice. Very hot too, ditsy cheerleader type. Helps the class go by :)
Take her for 2122! She is a great teacher and recognizes each student by name. She is always willing to help out, especially if you email her. Check the web site frequently, she often gives last min hints!
She moves fast, but she's a good teacher. She's helpful outside of the class. Not alot of office hours, but great through email, responds very quickly. She's nice and willing to answer questions. She never has class the day of an exam.
Class is hard but she does a good job explaining things. Moves very fast but she has too. I'd take her again.

Great teacher, hard class. Pay attention and come to class. She will really help you out if you ask her.
Mrs Breen..got 2 words for ya "SLOW DOWN". She speeds thru notes and examples and then asks if we have n e questions. How are we suppose to ask questions if we dont know whats going on?? But i gots a B. Thats good right?
Gives out notes to follow. Quiz just about every chapter (half take home), gives 4 case studies, 3 tests. Nature of the class is difficult. I suggest you do the opt hw and go to class.
Understanding this is a difficult subject and there's a lot to go over in the semester, she tries to make it understandable. Open to questions and nice about it.
very helpful, willing to answer questions after class or via email, grades fairly and liberally, helps students succeed who are willing to work hard. super person all around.
The best teacher that i da at UNCC. Take her for ACCT.She is so nice and helpful.Quizzes help you for your test. Replys to her e-mail very quick and answers any question you will have. Very good looking, she could be a good model as well.I will miss her.
subject matter difficult, but she makes the class as easy as it can be for accounting. Gives quizes and projects that can really help your grade. Very sweet and helpful! One of the best teachers I have had so far! Definitely would recommend her
To make sure she gets through all of what Acct2 is she goes fast. But she offers the material in a very easy to understand method. It's the amount of effort you want to put in that will determine your grade. Great class!
Sucks
one word...hot. also great teacher, really cares about you and wants you to do good.
not hot, not a great teacher, not helpful. annoying squeaky voice that never shuts up, yet somehow never answers your question. Told the class how we would fail, and most did.
She really doesnt teach at all, all she does is read off the section outline that ANOTHER teacher makes. Offers very little explanantion and very few examples. And if you ask a question you get about half the anwser 'you should know how to do the rest'.
Good teacher, talks fast though, loves to help you with anything. very smart
She is a really good teacher. If you do your work and go to class you will do fine.Procrastination will not get you very far in this class because she has to cover a lot of material in such a little time span.
Definitely not an easy subject. She did the best she could.Alot of material.Its required so suck it up and just take her and get it over with!She's the best UNCC has as far as ACCT teachers goes.WARNING:She talks REALLY fast.Whatever you do,DO NOT take WESTOVER!Nice guy but not great teacher at all!
she is awesome. pretty hot too. very understanding and will help you out if you need it. best acct prof at uncc!
Great teacher. Accounting is not fun, but she makes it easy to understand and gives good notes and examples in class. Study notes and do the assigned problems from the book, and the exams will be ok.
She i so annoying. I made an A but I had to study on my own. She was not helpful at all. I hate the way she teaches. Very flaky. Can't stand her!
This is not an easy class or subject. The tests are pretty hard. But she is one of the best accouting I professors. You'll have to put in a good amount of work to do well.
Teacher is very good. Very clear in her instruction. No probs here.
Hard quizes, but prepare you for the tests. She always tries to do anything to help you understand the material and help your grade. She's always quick with responding to emails. Very helpful/nice professor.

The class can get boring at times but she's so hot it'll keep you into it. She'll work with you outside of class if you need it too. Quizzes really help you with the test and she gives so much extra work that you can try theres no way you cant practice the material. Did i mention she's hot????
This is a tough class but she really tries to help you understand it. Quizzes and tests are pretty difficult and although she strongly advises you do the homework, she doesn't take it up. If you to go class and put some effort into it, you can come out with a decent grade because she gives you lots of chances to do well.
I thought the class was going to be extremely hard, but she is so helpful and gives many ways to help raise your grade. The quizes are hard, but she gives extra points to help in the final grade. I would suggest everyone take her! : )

very good. tells u what to study 4 exams.
She's awesome... Very Helpful, many ways to improve your grade. I wish her Acct 2 class were open this semester. def. recommended
Good Teacher! She talks and goes through the material fast. Study her examples and read the chapters and you will do ok.
I can't say enough good things about Mrs. Breen. If you get the chance to take her class, take it. She is so helpful, teaches the material so clearly and provides more than enough materials for you to be well prepared for the exams. If you put in the effort and use the study tools she provides, you shouldn't have any problems.
She's an amazing teacher. She is very fair. Do the learnsmart & Homework. practice moodle quizzes, practice exam practices and you will do just fine. Attendance is must (can miss u to 2 days )She is extremely helpful. I recommend her fully. She looks like Celine Dion.
Breen is so clear and so helpful! She makes the course material easy to understand. If you put in a little work outside of the classroom and study hard for tests you'll do great! Easy to listen to. You will learn a lot.
Good teacher but not the best. I will most likely finish with an A. Homework is easy. Clicker quizzes based on participation. 4 tests and a final. Buy the book and read, it helps. She does not return tests unless you come to her office hours so not much feedback. But I would still take her for sure because she's easy to get an A with.
Amazing professor! Accounting is a difficult subject, and I definitely had to study a lot, but she was very helpful along the way. She answered any questions and in a timely manner. Definitely there to help students. There's homework due every week and clicker questions for participation and attendance, so come to class.
She's really nice! There are a lot of points, so it's not extremely difficult to get an A. She explains the material well and will help and do extra examples if needed. Definitely recommend!
Accounting is hard. Thankfully I was able to get into Betsy's class. If I had anyone else I probably would have ended up with a C or D in this class. Also, this is a weed out class for business majors. Get Betsy and you'll be in great shape!
Mrs. Breen is a really great professor. Accounting is pretty hard but she's willing to help. The tests are pretty hard but if you do the practice tests and study from wiley plus it helps.
Accounting is an extremely tough subject, but Professor Breen makes it manageable. She notices class participation and attendance, and will be more likely to help you if you attend class often. Quizes, clicker points, and homework all add up to be equivalent to what your final grade is worth, so make sure you take advantage of those points.
I've read these reviews for her and all I can say is... seriously? It's a tough subject and it really sucks. I felt as though every time you asked questions in the class she'd put you on the spot and make you feel small and uncomfortable. It takes 4 slides to explain minute info. Tests are very difficult and she'll word things tricky to confuse you
accounting is not an easy subject but professor breen try her best to explain it. the tests are from the department so she has nothing to do with how tough the questions are, and i think it's fair that the exams are from the department so all the students get a fair shot at this tough class. she's very helpful and she is the best.
Professor Breen is a good teacher and I would definitely recommend taking her! She really wants everyone to succeed. Accounting in general is a hard subject due to all the material being new to you. Don't fall behind in this class because it's too much information to try to catch up on, and cramming SUCKS. ended up being a curve which saved my life
Professor Breen's teaching style is great, she gives you a chapter outline and you just have to fill in the blanks and go along with the slides They really helped & so did the clicker questions. but her exams are tough if you do the BAP practice tests and quizzes and go to class you should do fine. in exams&hw will save you if you bomb the final
Highly recommend Mrs. Breen! She understands that accounting is difficult and tries her best to get you through it! 3 tests, final exam. Homework is not bad and she uses clickers as attendance. She is so sweet and easy to talk to! Take her! :)
Professor Breen is amazing! I got a B in ACCT1, and easily made an A in ACCT2 because of her. She really knows her stuff and is passionate about the material. Great at explaining things and answering questions. Always willing to help if you get stuck on HW. 3 exams and a final. Final is kinda tough. Do ALL the HW and come to class for clickers pts!
Exams are weighed heavily in this course. It is a lot of sorting and memorization. Betsy is really nice and helpful. There is a lot of material covered. The first test is fairly easy if you study, but the next ones are hard. Instructor doesn't really matter much because they all test the same. Memory is truly the key. A/B student and made a C.
Professor Breen is thorough with her lectures. But, she expects you to understand the material she is going over in class. Lots of work. 3 tests 1 final exam. No extra credit, even if you are .7 points from the next letter grade.
While accounting is generally a difficult class as long as you pay attention and do you homework you will be fine. Far too many of my fellow students used chegg or other services to complete there homework and suffered because of it. If you pay attention and do all your homework you are sure to get A's or B's on the tests.
Professor Breen is my best professor yet. A professor that actually knows what she is talking about. The lectures are super helpful and she gives lecture outlines so note taking is easier. There are a lot of online assignments, as long as you keep up with those and study for the tests, this is a good class.
a lot of work to do, quizzes, homework, papers, SI class and in the test is something totally different specially the 3rd test. she is soooo fast you cannot understand anything from her. the worst class I have ever taken in my life
I've talked to people in other sections and they don't get as much help as we do (notes, quizzes that resemble the test). Humble, helpful, kind, wants you to do well, grades on curves when needed, extra credit points. She's a real gem and makes you feel known even in a large class.
Solid professor who knows what she is teaching. I don't know what people are talking about when they say this class is difficult. If you actually do the homework and study a reasonable amount it is fairly easy. Only complaint is homework was sometimes uploaded like a day before it was due. Take this professor.
She has to look at her notes to make sure she's right when teaching, not sure if she doesn't know what she's talking about or if she's too smart to teach. She's pretty sarcastic and not much help when you ask for it. A lot of homework and the tests are really hard even if you understand the material. Wouldn't recommend
Professor Breen is amazing. 2121 and 2122 have a decent bit of homework and can be tough but nothing excessive. Her lectures are very clear and she is happy to clarify things. She is very easily accessible outside of class. She was very helpful with any questions or issues. Take her class! I'm glad I had her for both classes.
She expects you to fill out 10 page lecture outlines before you come to class, and as a result moves fast and does not repeat herself. She reads directly off the notes too and just fills in the blanks. Gives a lot of HW and the timing can be harsh sometimes (we once had HW and a project dueon the same night, and a quiz in class the next morning).
Betsy is very resourceful, she knows what she's talking about and is always willing to help. Her ACCT I class definitely feels like two classes with the difficulty of accounting, and the homework. Tests are hard so spend more time studying than usual!
Breen is an excellent professor. She takes a subject that can be boring and for many, very difficult, and makes it interesting and easy to learn. She has a passion for the subject. Reviews say it's a hard class, but I think you just have to be a good student. She can come off as snippy, but she just doesn't tolerate slackers or bad students.
She is one of the best professors Ive had. I like how she gives us the lecture notes with blanks to fill in before class so we dont have to write the notes down word by word. Theres a good amount of homework but nothing excessive and a lot of the homework problems have tutorials with them. If you put in the work for this class you'll be good.
Accounting is a hard class to teach, but the pace of this class was too fast. she expected you to do way too much out of class and she gives a quiz every chapter. this is one of the hardest classes I've taken at Charlotte.
Tests were super hard and there was so. much. homework. I made a 69% in her class. Fill in the blank notes, doesn't post notes on canvas, lecture heavy, & no extra credit. Taking ACCT2121 right now for Summer 1 and currently have an A. Current prof makes account fun (WHAT?!)... I wish I took my current professor instead of Prof. Breen for sure.
Accounting is the worst class ever but shes a great teacher!! She couldnt have explained it any better!
SUCH as tough professor! Notes are rushed through and you're expected to be an expert on it and teach yourself before class. Tests are super hard. She constantly tells you how almost everyone fails the class which is pretty discouraging. If you have skilled accounting knowledge she is a good professor, not for beginners because she moves SO FAST
So here's the deal. Accounting is the most difficult/confusing course I have taken periodt, so the professor really doesn't matter. Its gonna be hard either way. You have been warned. Besty Breen expects too much of her students. Print out notes, however, they don't follow the pre-lecture on Wiley plus. Test are hard. Just be ready to grind...
She is a great accountant, but a bad teacher. She goes through so many slides at an alarming pace that it is very hard to keep up with and understand the material with little time for questions. The material she covers doesn't help you with the homework that you are taking hours to do. Find another teacher who doesn't go through a chapter a day.
Accounting is a difficult class in general but she gives outlines that she explains in class which the test and quizzes are based off of. She outlines what you need to study before the quizzes and exams. Also, she has flexible office hours and is available whenever it is needed. She is a great professor!!
Mrs. Breen can be a tough teacher in a tough class. But she absolutely gives all the resources necessary to make a good grade. If you want to actually learn accounting and not just pass, she's the one to take. She will also round grades at the end of the semester! Would recommend.
Very competent Accounting teacher, and will return whatever attitude you give her. The textbook is required as the homework is assigned through it, and there are a few things not taught in class that you may need to look up on the rare occasion. Have a mobile device ready for class as she will take attendance through online polling questions.
