Holly is great. The material for this class is really detailed, but if you remember everything from 2101, you will be ok. The tests are hard, but multiple choice, and grades tend to be fine. She really knows her stuff, and you should take this class if you're going to be a financial analyst. Tough, but worth it.

Hawk's class gave me a better attitude about accounting. I struggled for B's in Accounting 1 and 2 at UGA, but this class was a lot more fair and useful (Not an easy A). She knows you're not an accounting major, and she teaches you relevant information for financial analyst roles/internships. Hawk is a great professor and I highly recommend her.

Professor Hawk is genuinely a good accounting professor. She is very confident and to the point in her lectures, and adds good commentary on the slides. She teaches in a way that feels like she really cares that we understand the material. As long as you do the work assigned and study hard, there aren't surprises and you'll get an A in the class.

Good professor, answers questions well, and knows the material. The lectures are standardized for the course and are conceptual. Not helpful in learning material needed to pass the exams. Outside of class work is a lot, but it is what will best prepare you for the exams. It is possible to do well in this course if you put in the time. Curves exams.

Professor Hawk made Accounting 2101 pretty bearable. There's a ton of homework and the tests are really hard, but that's just how Accounting is. After having Hawk and Christensen for part of the semester, I would definitely recommend taking Hawk. She gets to the point and almost always let us out at least a little early. Super nice woman.

She was fine. I personally didn't like her teaching style; she rushed through slides, gave little time for practice, and had way too much structure to make this class enjoyable at all.

Do not take Hawk! If Christensen's only accounting one course is offered at 8:00am again, allow yourself to wake up earlier twice a week. Hawk is not accessible outside of class, and lectures do not help whatsoever. Occasional Kahoots make you go to class, but the material is taught almost 100% through the book and RAs/HW.

Accounting 1 is hard no matter which professor you get. Dr. Hawk goes super fast and sometimes doesn't explain the content well. Homework and reading quizzes were useless in my opinion, but you need to do them to bump your exam grade. Practice exams were nothing like actual exams and did a poor job of preparing me.

Professor Hawk made the class engaging and she really cleared up concepts from the textbook well. To do well in accounting, you must do the homework and you must read the book. Only real complaint about Hawk is that we usually finished about twenty minutes early, and I think that time could've been better spent doing some more practice.

Overall, this class is not as bad as I expected. There is lots of material and the course moves quickly. However, there is plenty of time to study between tests. Homework and quizzes help to understand the material and boost your overall grade. This class does require a lot of work, but you will be given plenty of resources to be successful.

Hawk is not a bad professor at all, even compared to the other accounting professor so don't worry about that. You're gonna have to study a good amount for the tests, my suggestion is get the 3 skoolers exam reviews. You will have to go to class pretty consistently because she has in class quizzes for a participation grade. Happy studying!

She is a very nice lady, be prepared for a lot of homework. I probably spent around 8 hours a week on this class, if you study the practice tests they are very helpful. She does go fast and I feel the class could've been taught better but overall she is a good professor.

She could teach accounting a lot better than she does/in relation to what we will be tested on. Exams are tough and rely more on whether you comprehend the material than studying the lecture slides. IF YOU WANT AN A, BUY SKOOLERS TUTORING REVIEW PACKETS. They are the reason I was able to get an A in this class and many others will agree with me.

she's not as bad as people make her out to be, she is really nice and her office hours are great. i wish she would focus more on getting good grades on the mc of the test rather than short answer but regardless, as long as you study and do the work, you should be fine.

Topics can get overwhelming and forgetful, but that's okay. Pay attention, as long as you study the practice materials and BUY SKOOLERS, an A is possible. I would half-ass the hw and quizzes, cause it lowkey teaches more than you need to know for the exam, whereas skoolers narrow it down. Understand concepts & patterns, go to class, and good luck.

Professor Hawk's teaching style assumes you read the textbook beforehand, so she reviews instead of teaching, which I think is fine since she uses class time to go over the main important sections, hw & quizzes, and practice problems. I read the textbook in the beginning but didn't help so I stopped. Skoolers was what got me through practice is Key

Holly Hawk is by no means the greatest teacher ever, but she is not really that bad. It can be super hard to pay attention in class sometimes and you are really going to be responsible for clearing up and learning the majority of the material by yourself from the textbook. Occasional in-class quizzes, but you just need to participate.

hawk is super smart, but this class is taught so you have to read the (in my opinion, bad) textbook beforehand and learn it yourself, and the lectures are just mediocre reviews. if you can, but the skoolers exam review packets at the very least, but hawk is super nice and will talk with you to try to help. if you put in the work, A is very doable

This class is definitely doable to get an A without skoolers. She isn't that bad of a professor as many say. My advice is to read the textbook pages she recommends reading, go to class and listen to her teach, and study the slides and homework before each exam. Don't fall behind or slack off as it can hurt you a lot. 3 exams and an optional final.

While her lectures were not that helpful, she was very nice and caring. She was always there to answer questions and provide alternative resources for practice (such as the accounting lab). I found the practice problems in the slides, textbook review videos, and Skoolers to be most helpful.

Dr. Hawk does the best she can with this class. It is a hard class and there is a ton of content, but she is mostly fair and provides lots of resources to succeed. If you study each day and stay up to date, you should be able to get at least a B.

She is not nearly as bad as other students have made her out to be. As a lecture heavy class it is a given that she does not have the time to deal with every single one of your issues, just go to class, do the homework by yourself, and actually study for the tests (3 exams worth 75% of your grade).

Holly Hawk was fine. It's the class that's just ridiculously hard. Material is hard to understand and she flies through it. At the end of the day, it's a class that you have to teach yourself. But, there are extra credit opportunities so that helps.

Doesn't want her students succeed. Wants students to understand more than what she asks in class and on homeworks which is rather impossible because this is taken as the 1st accounting class and nobody knows anything. Doesn't explain vocabulary and then uses it on tests where she barely gives partial credit. Should not be a entrance level teacher.

Hard class, but easy if you study at least a couple days before the exams. Final is optional. Teacher does not really matter as the exams are the same across classes.

This is a hard class and you need to pay attention in class and study for the exams, but if you put effort into the class it shouldn't be too hard to do well. She was a good lecturer and my biggest advice is go to the accounting lab with any questions you may have. Practice exams prepare you very well for the real exams.

Dr. Hawk isn't a bad professor, this class is just very difficult. Attendance is not taken daily, although there are surprise in-class quizzes, so be sure to come to all classes. Start studying at least a week ahead of time; the practice exams are exactly like the tests. It's a tough class, but not impossible if you don't get behind.

Felt like this class was way harder than it needed to be, and if you want a good grade, you'll have to do quite a lot of work outside of class.
