I can only say it's really tough. You have to struggle with the weekly quizzes(counted in the final grade) and you can easily lose 20 points out of 100 by getting two multiple choices wrong. Exams are okay if you really study the homework questions. No curves on exams. After all, it's accounting, what do you expect?
