Mrs. Workman is a great lady & SUPER helpful. Accounting is just hard and you will find this when you take it. She will, however, do all she can to help you if you do (as she says) 3 things:Go to class missing only 3 days, only miss 2 of random HW checks (which is assigned daily), and study hard. She does not give you the tests to keep 4 final.

Currently about to finish this class and I will say that it's a really tough class. If you pay attention, take good notes, and study a lot before tests you maybe will do fine. It's not that the professor isn't good, it's the fact that accounting is hard in itself. If you take this class make sure you go to class, do the homework, and study.

Very hard to get an A in this class. 4 hard tests, a homework grade, and the final is your grade for the course. Doesn't curve anything. She was gone for 3 classes and still didn't curve the exam. I was 1.26 points away from not having to retake the class and she didn't show leniency so I'm taking it next semester!!!

First, l I had no knowledge of accounting but I quickly learned this was not gonna be an easy class. She is straight forward about her expectations on day one of class. You will have about 10-12 graded homework. She also gives practice. First 3 chapters are critical to understand the rest of accounting. Basically don't be lazy & just do the work!

Professor Workman is a lovely lady who wants her students to do well. Accounting is pretty difficult so you have to work for it which involves reading the chapters, doing the assigned homework, and coming to class. She is there to guide and help you throughout the course but it is on you to put some work into it. Take her!!

I had to retake acct 2401 so I switched professors and Professor Workman is AMAZING. Haven't gotten lower than a B on a test yet. She explains things really well and will sit there and explain things to you over and over again until you understand it. She also gives study guides and practice questions. Do the questions and you'll pass the test!

Great professor, but accounting in general is super boring. Every class seems to just be going over homework, which is helpful when you don't understand the material, but boring otherwise. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she won't round up your grade if you don't show up to class. There's mandatory homework as well as extra practice problems.

She sets you up for failure. Her lectures are outdated and irrelevant to what is on the exams.
