Unlike some online instructors I had in the past who is more or less a ghost, there are always messages from her to the class throughthroughout the week. She also let student work ahead, which worked out great for me.

Irene is definitely my favorite online instructor this term. Her assignments are not hard, it does take time. I like that she tries to interact with her postings as if we are in class having a conversation instead of the usual beginning of the week posting many online teacher has that plainly state the chapter or topic covering that week.

Irene is hands down the best teacher I have had at PCC. Her lectures are actually interesting with many real world examples. Plus she posts additional useful stuffs in D2L and has virtual office hour every week. She even sent an email to check in on me to remind me of the first due date when I was totally slacking and behind!

Irene is great! I found her class to be a fairly easy A, but I definitely learned from it. She makes her students her top priority, and is willing to stick up for her students in every way. I would definitely take any class from her again-- good teacher, but also an awesome contact number to have for your future.

Irene is amazing as ever! This was my 2nd time taking her. The class itself has a good amount of work to do, but she has only 3 dues dates for the whole course. Don't wait to do things last min though, cause it will be a lot. Even with this being online, she would post videos or files each week to help you with the chapter material. Would recommend

Its Thanksgiving and Im grateful to have Irene as my teacher. This is my 2nd attempt taking BA 211, and with Irenes help, I am finally getting accounting. She really take the time explaining the concepts and giving me hints instead of just giving me the answers when I email her for help. I feel she genuinely care about me.

Took BA 211/12/13 with her. There is also an exam covering BA 211/212 which is mostly journal entries, but I found 213 to be a lot easier. Be prepared because this class is A LOT of work each chapter consists of: DSM, Homework, Discussion, Quiz and about 3 Exams throughout the course. She also has only 3 deadlines so you can go at your own pace. GL

Took this class during the pandemic and attendance was not mandatory. Irene gives good examples in lectures live and is willing to help if you have questions. She also pre-records lectures in addition to the weekly meetings. Very easy going but also assigns a lot of homework. More than double the amount from my previous accounting class.

Honest to god taking BA 218 was the biggest waste of time. It was an un-engaging course with more fluff than actual learning. Irene is nice, but the course is super classist. It seems to be more for established adults than broke college students. I dont care about mutual funds or having an investment portfolio, I wanna know how I can pay my bills.

Summer 2020. We had weekly discussions w/ 2 replies, weekly assignments, final project, and final exam. The text was old, but also free, and the instructor provided additional material to read and watch. I learned some new things, but the class also went over stuff I already knew. There's only three due dates, so don't procrastinate!

Accounting is a difficult subject for me. I struggled a lot but Irene was very supportive. I met with her in Zoom office and exchanged many emails. I also was ready to accept a C but Irene encouraged me to makeup late work and complete extra credit to earn the B that I had not expect to have earned. Most caring teacher I have had at PCC!

I felt she cares about her student's success in her class. This was a math heavy class, but if math isn't your thing she focuses on explaining the problems beyond the numbers so you don't have to rely on a list of equations. Beyond her helpful online lectures, she has videos where she does problems which helps a lot with homework and tests.

I took BA 111 this past summer and still find BA 211 class very dense and difficult. I like that Irene prepared a lot of learning resources especially in the beginning of the term to help us with reviewing the accounting basics. Each chapter has a reading exercise, set of homework problems, and a quiz. I spend at least 8 hrs/wk to keep up.

She gives lots of opportunities to ask questions and provides help when you need it, you just have to ask. Overall, a good teacher if you are willing to keep up and do the work

Solid professor! There were always course announcements highlighting key topics for the chapter directing us to a specific video or examples she put in D2L. Prof Seto always answered my emails within hours with clear answers to my Qs, not a generic go read the textbook my previous prof in 111 would replied with. I will take 213 with her next term.

Seto really cares about her students and although she goes fast in class, she's always happy to back track and help you understand if you're confused. Genuinely one of the best professors I've ever had. Instead of weekly due dates, she has once a month due dates. You can work at your own pace while not having to worry about falling behind.

Irene is a fantastic accounting teacher. I took BA111, 211 and 213 with her at PCC. She offered all of her classes both in person and via Zoom simultaneously, which I loved. Irene gets the people on Zoom to participate as much as the people in class. Her lectures are informative and she is very clear about what is expected of each student.

If she does not like you she will throw subtle shade to you. I crammed 2 weeks worth of work in 3 days and she was mad.. but I passed it with 80%. Make sure to at least log in or else she will say something. Still a good easy class overall. The readings are reasonable and so is the coursework.

I've had Irene as a prof for three terms now. They are great and they really do care for the impact of learning, but I found myself learning a lot of the content myself due to not digesting the lectures very well as it's fast pace. They have VERY lenient deadlines which is great and is very accessible outside of class! I 100% recommend Irene.

she shows zero empathy for students. Submit even an hour late and lose 50%, regardless of circumstances or prior communication—expect a rude reply. Online classes are worse: she relies entirely on the textbook and only fixes issues after 5:30 pm, so if your lab breaks earlier, you're out of luck.

Prof Seto is a very caring teacher who wants her students to do well. She is very encouraging, has a clear understandable teaching style. She will help students understand anything they don't when the going gets tough with 211, because the content is a really tough subject to learn. I wish I could take her again for future subjects. She's the best!

Professor Seto is very engaging in lectures, but can move a bit fast on slides. There are 4 random attendance quizzes, but she'll state that there will be a quiz at the beginning of the lecture, and keeps the quiz open 2 days after. Watch the lectures, keep up with quizzes and modules, and definitely do the practice exams!
