amazing professor, she gives a practice exam that gives you a really good idea what the exam are going to be like. class is kinda mandatory, she gives clicker quizzes once a week and group activities once a week but they are easy points. TA is awesome too. favorite class!

Sure this class is a lot of work; there is something to turn in most every day. Even though Heather's lectures don't exactly make Acct more interesting, they are SO clear in explaining the material (way better than the textbook). You'll need the book for the HW though. The practice exams she gives are super helpful. Would recommend her

Heather is one of the best teachers I've had, and she is so adorable. Accounting is a tough class, but she makes it very easy to understand. She goes over every assignment in class so you understand it and is always willing to answer questions. The tests are difficult but definitely manageable if you study and go over the assignments beforehand.

Heather is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. Beyond being approachable and sweet, she explains the material in the most helpful way possible and is clear about expectations. Assignmentsquizzes make attendance importance but her lectures are enjoyable and go by fast. She provides practice tests, very similar to exams. Love her!

Heather is a great instructor! Lectures are easy to follow. Mini pre-lecture quizzes every week and chapter activities you do alone or in a group at the end of class (quizzes and activities are done at home before bringing into class). Exams are over half your grade, so give yourself time to study. Attendance taken at random via your clicker.

Very easy class and Ms. Altman gives very clear explanations.

Heather is the nicest professor I've had while at UA, she is very clear on what is expected to receive an A in this class. However if you want a good grade you have to study for the tests as they are over half of your course grade. She is also super helpful in office hours

Good teacher class in general is super boring.

Good and clear lecturer. She is passionate about the material, but moves through it a little slow. Class is not overly difficult, nothing but formulas to remember, but the exams are difficult if you let the material get away from you.

Heather is one of the best professors I have had at the UofA. She is extremely clear in grading criteria and content. A very well-organized class. The material is a little dull but Heather makes concepts clear. Take her for ACCT210 if you are able!! Never used textbook, just get the wiley code and online textbook!

The teacher is fine but the class is HARD. You need to teach yourself and practice as you go and a lot. You have to practice, go into office hours, and just make sure you get it as you are going and don't wait till before the test. Attendance is usually whenever there are clicker questions, but there is random clicker question attendance as well.

I took Altman for my first accounting class and she is very very smart in her field! Definitely makes it simple to understand and will answer questions that you may have! She really seems to care, the class may seem hard but she will help you to get the grade you can

Professor Altman is among the best teachers here at the U of A. She is so sweet and knows the material she is teaching and it shows. 2 tests and a final, homework about twice a week. Show up to class to fill in the powerpoint notes (very helpful) / attendance taken at random. I've decided to major in ACCT after taking this course with Altman!

Heather is a great instructor for a fairly difficult subject! She understands that it is hard, so she works to make sure everyone understands! I didn't take enough advantage of the resources available - office hours, lab, TA office hours, tutoring. Really, with all of the available help you can do it! And Heather is great!

Heather was by far one of my favorite teachers/professors of all time. She made me actually enjoy accounting which was a class I dreaded taking. She made the material easy and extremely understandable and I am now majoring in accounting because of her. The way she teaches makes everything make sense and it feels like your actually learning.

Heather is gifted at teaching. You can tell that she truly cares about her students performance and she is always willing to answer any questions. She handles her lectures in a very organized way. Tests can be tough because it is accounting but if you put in the work you will do fine!

Good professor, seems kind and reasonable in class. There are clicker questions about once a week that you must attend class to get points for and random attendance points. The tests determine a big portion of your grade so make sure to study. She seems really knowledgeable and passionate about accounting which makes the class more enjoyable.

ACCT210 is a more difficult course, but Prof. Altman is a great teacher. She cares about her students and is really helpful in office hours.

This is another class that sucks but is mandatory. Super difficult and extremely boring, but Heather really cares about you as a person and it is obvious that she is a sweetheart. Aside from that, the class is absolutely dreadful and makes no sense. Super math heavy. Just pass it so you can get in to Eller!

Altman is a great teacher! She goes over the material thoroughly and gives a lot of opportunities to do well in the course. If you ask her a question she will always answer it and lead you to the correct thinking!

Heather is the best! Accounting is really hard, but Heather makes it easier to understand. She breaks questions down, does them in different ways, shows easier ways. Really a good, caring instructor. Go to office hours if you don't understand something, she will spend time helping you! Really cares about her students! 10/10 would recommend.

This was not an easy class but Heather is a great professor and cares about her students. Participation matters in the end when it comes down to your grade. She takes random participation points w/ clickers during the lecture. If you miss class a lot you are going to lose some points. Tests are challenging so much sure you study & ask questions

Heather Altman is one of my favorite professors at the U of A. She knows her material well and is great at explaining it to her students. This class is not an easy A, although an A is attainable if you are willing to work for it. Go to class to fill in slide notes, and there is an average amount of homework.

She's a very good professor. She teaches a very difficult class but that has nothing to do with her personal teaching style, Accounting is just difficult in general. She is willing to work with you outside of class to further explain concepts and she is extremely nice about it as well. Just be sure to actually read the textbook chapters, it helps

Heather is a great prof. but this is a tough class. She goes through the material very quickly, leaving it up to you to really grasp the material by putting in the time outside of class. However, she makes herself and the preceptors very accessible outside of class. You'll have to work for your gra, but Heather makes this class a little bit easier.

I love heather, I never understood ACCT200 and in ACCT210 I am doing so amazing!! Definitely try and get her as your prof.

Being completely honest, you have to haul ass to pass this class. But it makes you feel great when you do. Mrs. Altman opened my eyes to accounting and personally I love it so much! She tries her best to get you to understand, and does not grade easily but honestly it makes you work harder. Recommend her for ACC 200/210 or 250. She's awesome!

Very hard class but heather is probably the best 210 prof at uofa. She is super nice and gets things done on time. You gotta work in this class.

Test heavy class. She is a good teacher, just goes very fast in class during notes.

Altman is the best choice for 210! She makes you work for your grade as she goes through slides and material quick. You have to stay on top of the course and attend office hours/ lab to fully grasp material. Second test is by far the hardest but others are manageable. She cares about her students and give plenty of opportunities for help!

Heather was one of the best professors I have had. She really cares about her students and makes the material very easy to understand. The class is difficult but she makes it so much easier

Great teacher, recommend to do the accounting labs for extra credit. There is a lot of material to cover for this course so it will be lecture heavy so use the labs to synthesize each chapter. She is always in a good mood and will always give you a lot of in class problems.

Overall, Heather gives very clear explanations of the material in lecture. The study guides, homework, and **lab assignments (highly recommend!) prepare you well for the tests. However, lectures are a little rough due to their length and her expectation for participation. It just gets awkward. Also, she takes clicker attendance very often.

She is such a great professor for this subject. She goes into detail and actually goes step by step to make sure you understand the information. I would HIGHLY recommend this professor. She makes in-depth study guides, all you have to do is put an effort into this class to make sure you learn the material and you'll do well!

Very nice. Knowledgeable about the subject matter. Tries to break it down into easily understandable formulas. The formulas are all very similar & it can be very confusing.

As a woman taking her course, she truly inspired me. Not many professors seem like real humans, but I love that she shares about her daughter. She also explains what she has done with accounting, she is very credible. She is so nice and not intimidating. She just wants respect and her kids to succeed! Best accounting teacher at u of a, hands down.

She's one of the best teacher in the accounting department, but it is a really difficult class. The class was much more doable before COVID, but the transition online wasn't the best and she did add more quizzes. She's great during office hours and very open w/ emailing you. She added a 6 pt curve to the exams to help. I would take her again.

Heather is really awesome and super nice. While her class is challenging, going into her office hours helps. She's willing to work with confusing topics with you and help you figure out ways to understand the content better. ACCT 210 is a little bit harder than 200 because of the content, but she tries new things to make the class easier.

I took Heather for 210 and she is one of the all around best professors I have had. Not only does she explain the concepts exceptionally well, but she is very sweet and it is clear that she cares about her students.

You have to take acct210 and it's difficult. Everyone knows that. But she's the best professor you can pick. Explains things well, knows her shit, fast with email replies, respectful. You have to study each lesson and prepare for each exam. Attendance is random on D2L so NO need to buy those clickers. People who hate probably didn't study for exams

Altman was an amazing professor. Everyone knows ACCT 210 is hard, so anyone who wrote a bad review likely got a bad grade in the class and blamed it on Altman. If you attend class, do your homework, and study hard, you will do well in the class. Also, give yourself around 4 solid nights to study and watch the review videos!!! it helped me a lot!

Professor Altman is amazing! She is very experienced and passionate about the material. She gives you everything you need to succeed in this class. Accounting is difficult but if you show up to lectures and study for exams you should be just fine.

Altman is honestly a great teacher for how hard managerial accounting is. You need to put in work outside of the class to do well & ACTUALLY pay attention in class, but she explains everything well. Exam & formula heavy, but if you study it's straightforward. Only complaint is she talks a little quiet, but other than that she's great & I recommend!

Heather is caring for the most part. The course format is almost identical to ACCT210. Lectures are monotone but she tries her best, and you cannot expect great excitement out of basic accounting. Study the slides and you'll be fine for tests. Overall, decent and easy course for what it is

personally, she talked very quickly during the lecture and I got spoiled with an extremely small accounting 200 class, so it was hard to adjust. She is very kind during office hours and offers detailed answers that help you understand why you were wrong. Make sure you take detailed notes during the class and pay attention to specifics.

Professor Altman is a nice person, and she cares for her students to do well. I had an easier time in ACCT200 paying attention during lectures because of the teaching style however if you apply time to practice outside of class, you will do fine. Accounting is different for everyone though. Some people have to study for days and some not at all.

Professor Altman was a wonderful accounting teacher and is very knowledgeable in the content she covers. I found her classes to be very slow, which made it more difficult to focus, but she taught her content well and was great at answering questions. Tests will be a HUGE part of your grade, the extra practices are incredibly helpful for studying.

Managerial accounting is hard. Given that, Heather does really good making sure we can power through it. She is a very kind person who deeply cares about hher class but since the material is extremely hard it may seem like shes a bad teacher. The lectures are long but the material is also long so it equates.

Heather did a great job explaining the concepts and applying real life scenarios to her lectures. She always had a positive attitude when teaching and provides tons of resources and wants you to succeed. As long as you pay attention, study and put the extra time in you will be good. She offers some extra credit at the end too. Take her class!

Very straightforward class and professor, homework was not hard and exams are fairly easy. Just show up to lecture and you will do fine.

Professor Altman is one of the best professors for Accounting, just took it this Fall 2024 semester, she indeed is the best!

So chill. easy content and lots of EC

Heather has been my favorite professor so far. She truly cares about her students and makes ACCT 210 much more manageable. The class is tough, so I recommend studying ahead and practicing regularly. Lectures are posted online, but even though only five attendance days are required, I suggest going as often as possible.
