This was important 'cause I had her in the 1/2 term class and things moved fast. She knows acctg and knows how to teach it. Glad I had her & would take her again if I could. Awesome Teacher!

She is going so fast, and boring. No one in my class answer anything in her lecture because we do not understand. She skips a lot of parts which are in the test and quiz. She is kind to give extra credit but her tests are hard. i do not know what grade i will end up with but i think it will be bad. you should think before you take her class.

Ms. Sweatt is a fine teacher. She is very competent about accounting and it isn't her fault the mini semester was rushed. As the other comments say, she explained this all at the start of term. Her extra credit offerings are more than enough to help boost you to the A-B range if your tests are lacking. STUDY FOR THE QUIZZES! they help so much!

Took this course with a different teacher last semester and failed, got an A in Mrs. Sweatt's class. The instructor really did make all of the difference. Her class is easy to keep up with and she presents the difficult information in a clear way. She's very fair and willing to help students. Many extra credit opportunities. Taking her class again.

Mrs. Sweatt is the BOMB! She gives you the core of what you need to make an A in the course. I think she is kind of tired of low-life students taking her course who does not care about their education; but who wouldn’t be. If you show that you care and want to learn she lights up like Christmas tree! She will help you succeed! Highly recommend her!

Mrs. Sweatt is a very friendly teacher that makes accounting about as fun as it can get. As long as you're willing to go to class and pay attention, you will pass with an A or B. I've had 3 accounting teachers at GPC and Mrs. Sweatt is easily the best.
