Prof Medling is one of the most caring professors I've ever had!! Being an accountant herself she has a vast understanding of the material and genuinely cares about seeing success in her students. Go to class, do the homework, study and pay attention!! Her way of teaching has inspired me to major in accounting now. I wish she taught 1B as well!!!!!
Great professor who is willing to make sure you learn the material.
Let me start by saying the concept of accounting scared me.I went into the course hating it. But, I honestly can say professor Medling is one of the best teachers at Saddleback College. Show up, DO THE HW, DO THE E.C,ASK QUESTIONS. She wants you to leave class without questions. Will stay after to help.& make sure you show up for test review days.
This class was by far the best class I've taken at Saddleback. Medling is my absolute favorite. She's knowledgable and cares so much about her students. She will help you in any way she can. Go to class, do the homework and e.c., and read a little. Accounting isn't easy, but she makes it fun. You won't regret taking this class.
Professor Medling is such a great teacher! I wish that all professors were like her. She truly cares about her students and is honestly there to help you. Attendance is mandatory! She offers tons of extra credit! Show up, study, and do the hw. You can't fail.
Professor Medling is the best teacher at Saddleback by far. She is super helpful and truly loves what she does. She's really good about emails and will stay after class to answer questions. Do the HW, read the chapters and do the extra credit and you will get a good grade
She is a great prof , I think the class was hard just because of the content, she gives out a lot if extra credits and she always responds back to your email !
Prof. Medling is the best! I was very nervous when I started to take the class but she encouraged me and offered me so much help so I ended up being one of the best in her class. She is full of knowledge and energy , a very fun professor to be with. Choose her class and read the book, do the homework, the practice test, you will have an easy A.
Professor Medling Was my favorite teacher at Saddleback. She was great and very helpful and is very very dedicated to helping students like myself learn. Do your HW, Ask Questions, Go to class. Teaching is not a chore to her its a passion. TAKE HER CLASS she will make a boring subject into a fun thrill ride!
first day of class you think you're going to fail because of how much new things are coming your way in a single class day.But she is VERY helpful and tells you when to write downimportant things to remember for the exam. Alotof onlineHW which is a drag but if you do it all(extra credit too)it will helpboost your grade).EC alone boosts it5% points
Professor Medling is the most helpful and thorough teacher I have had at Saddleback! Her passion for teaching is unparalleled and always comes to class with a smile on her face and a dedication to her class to make sure we all succeed! She keeps us motivated and focused on helping every student succeed! Do the work,be honest, and you'll do great!
She is a great teacher and willing to help with all of your questions. Be engaged and an active listener, print out your notes and do the homework ASAP and you should get a decent grade.
In addition to her family and full time job, this woman spends nearly all of her weeknights making sure that you not only understand the material, but that you also have everything you need to do well on homework and exams. Excellent teacher.
BEST TEACHER!I only took 1B this summer because of Prof. Medling! Her teaching ethic is the highest quality and she will help you in any way she can! From taking 1A and 1B with her,her genuine passion for teaching is apparent when her motto is "We're all in this together!" Prof. Medling not only inspires, but motivates the class to do their best!;)
Professor Medling is AMAZING! First let me say that I was terrified of ACCT prior to taking it. Ive heard so many horror stories. I took 1A with her and was not going to take 1B if I couldn't be in her class again. She is extremely fair and helpful. She genuinly cares about teaching. Literally the best teacher I have ever had in my 3 years.
Amazing teacher!! My suggestion for doing well is, SHOW UP. She has lots of extra credit available, practice exams, and hints about test questions. You know exactly what to study for on the exam. Do not take ACCT if you can't get Prof. Medling.
Instructor loves Acct & will give you all the tools you need to succeed. Come to class (on time), participate, do the homework/extra credit and you will do well in this class.
Great teacher, gives you all the tools and information to pass. Attendance and participation is helpful and she gives a lot of important info for tests. If her class is open I would recommend you take her.
Professor meddling is one of the best teachers in saddleback. She's very nice, awesome and dedicated and cares about her students. She makes her lessons supper fun and you never get bored. She very easy and good on answers any questions or concerns you have about her tests and homework. Take her and you will not regret it!
Professor Medling is easily one of the best teachers at Saddleback. If you ever have any questions on the material, she is more than happy to stay after class and help you. She does an excellent job of keeping the class interesting, and she's quite funny. I strongly recommend taking her for Accounting.
SUPER HELPFUL! She is very clear about homework, exams, and what she expects from students in class. Those complaining are the ones usually late to class, talking, in the back rows, or asleep. Seriously, she's not going to spoonfeed you an A. Do the work, go to class, and you'll pass. Tons of extra credit. Taking her course for Acct 1B :)
Professor Medling was one of the best professors i have ever taken at Saddleback. Her lectures consist of powerpoints that prepare you very well for the exams. She is very nice, more than fair, and a wonderful teacher. Definitely would recommend! Not an easy A, but it is possible if you study a lot. If you want to take accounting, take her class :)
Professor Medling was a PHENOMENAL teacher and I look forward to taking her Acct. 1B class this summer! She goes above and beyond was is required of her for her students. She stays late after class and ALWAYS responds promptly to emails. As long as you study and do the homework, this class is fine. She keeps every lecture interesting!
Professor jane is the best , very understanding and professional , funny , clear , super helpful , she is just awesome , love and respect her students , great preparation for the tests , it was wonderful taking the class with her
Jane Medling honestly is an amazing teacher. To me Accounting is hard and tedious. yes lectures are very long. She tells a some quick stories every class & and she is random and funny. She really helps everyone to the fullest she can!! She really wants you to learn. This is the Teacher to take if you can!!! No doubt in my mind 100%. She CARES!
Professor Medling is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her accounting 1A & accounting 1B classes. She's a hard working woman & really puts alot of effort into teaching & cares deeply about each & every one of her students. Take her, unless you are not motivated to learn or put in the time & effort because you will not pass if you dont.
Professor Medling has an enthusiastic method of teaching accounting which to many can be quite boring. I was able to enhance what I already knew in accounting and learn a tremendous amount of new material. She works hard to make sure you understand everything to be able to pass the class. I plan on taking 101B in summer with her. She is great.
I highly suggest taking her class. You do need to attend class(she takes role). Attending(and listening!)to the lectures and completing the homework(online thru Connect, unlimited attempts)you will pass. Do the E.C. (plenty offered)and you will easily pass. DO NOT MISS THE CLASS BEFORE THE TESTS! Always willing to help and fair!
Honestly one of my favorite professors I've taken at Saddleback, its impossible to fail her class. As long as you show up to class listen to her lectures and review the study guides, you're good to go! The most useful thing I found with this class was doing the homework & 2 pt extra credit online. There's tons of extra credit :) Love her story's!
1A was a hard subject for me, without her help I may not have passed. She is a great professor. She is tough, fair, funny, and extremely helpful to students willing to learn. After class she stays to help and talk to students. Be on time, bring the book, and do the online homework. If you can't do that, she can't help you
Professor Medling was the absolute best professor I have ever had. She is so very passionate about what she does and it truly shows. Like most courses, you need to put in the work but, she prepares you for all homework and tests - no surprises. Her lectures are fun and upbeat and she makes learning fun. If you have to take accounting, take Medling!
Great and nice Professor, one of the best I've had at Saddle back. Always cheerful, very helpful, and knows her stuff. She even helps the class with the homework, she wants you get an A! Big plus is that you can use a note card on the exams and always available. She also offers a lot of extra credit. Take her class, you'll enjoy it.
She teaches so clearly, and you don't have to read the book because she gives you the power point and that's so helpful And there is a group project and it just takes 3 minutes with a lot of extra credit
I enjoyed really enjoyed the class. Professor Medling was enthusiastic and tries to make class as entertaining as possible. You can tell she loves accounting.
She seemed nice but as this semester has progressed she has changed. Her attitude makes the class hard to sit through. It's hard to ask her questions without her being rude about it. Going to her class is basically pointless because she reads off the PowerPoint. She needs to make her class more interesting. I don't recommend at all. Very boring!
Professor Medling truly cares for each and every one of her students. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone meets their goals, whatever they may be. Her lectures are very engaging and thorough. If you put in the effort, do the homework, read the book, and study for the tests, there is no reason why you should not do well in the class.
Professor Melding is a great professor! If Acct 1A or 1B is a course you plan to take, choose Medling. This course does require a significant amount of time for homework and studying, but Medling prepares the students very well. Medling is also an understanding & bright spirit who and makes you laugh, I always looked forward to her lectures.
Professor Medling was a lot of fun to be around. She is very professional, yet also gives the class energy and makes re every one is having a good time. The material is very dry but she did her best to get the class interested in it. I highly recommend her she is very fair and understanding of how busy we all are.
Excellent Prof! Very kind-hearted, helpful, full of positive energy and motivation. You can tell that she teaches from her heart and that she is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. She deeply cares about her students and makes sure everyone understands the material. I learned a lot and feel that this class was extremely effective!
she is so help full and do her best to help you to understand the problems and she spends so much time with you if you ask her for help and extra explanations. she helps your grading by putting extra questions on the test and also on learn smart. she loves what she is doing and it makes you to feel you are going to be in love with accounting too.
Great teacher always trying to make sure you get it before she moves on give her respect you get a lot more respect back already got register in her summer class .
Professor Medling was the best! She is sweet and very helpful. You have homework for each chapter. Take advantage of the EXTRA CREDIT!! It's a lot of work, but worth it. One group project towards the end of semester, and a total of four exams. Unfortunately I can't take her in the summer due to planning my wedding, but will see her next year!
He is an amazing teacher! Extremely organized, comes prepared to class with notes and PowerPoint presentations. You can tell she really cares about her student and gives her 100% in teaching. Study guide for exams are clear cut and let's you know what to study. Homework and extra credit kind of long but the points matter. Group project is easy.
I highly recommend you to take accounting with her, she is an amazing professor. I have a baby and I got A in acct 1a , so you can do it too ;)
I honestly do not even understand why Professor Medling has even one negative rating! I have taken several of her classes because she makes accounting likeable (and passable! (: ). She treats students with respect, is always upbeat, personable, and more than flexible with hw, tests, & xtra cred. +She is ALWAYS willing to stay and help after class.
Great professor care if you understood , DO not interrupt her class, understand student cares for them took 1A and survived 1B in summer while working..... wish you the best prof Meddling have a great summer.
Professor Medling is the only professor that I would ever want to take accounting from. She makes things more interesting and relate able to real life. The tests are pretty tough, but she prepares you for them very well. Be prepared to do homework. She really cares about her students and will stay after class and help you if you don't understand.
I highly recommend her, I took accounting 1A and 1B with her, very nice professor. You can tell she really cares about her student and gives her 100% in teaching. she helps your grading by putting extra questions on the test and also on learn smart. if you want to learn and also get a good grade take her. she offers ACC1B on summer only. TOOK HER!!
Took this class instead of at a my 4 year university during the summer. Complete joke, easiest A I ever got. Take it during the summer, two 4x6 note cards on 2 tests, open book test, and a take home final. Homework is online, it's accounting so it's tedious but easy, if you have trouble with it she'll go over it in class.
One of the kindest teachers at Saddleback. Made me enjoy accounting. I didn't go to all the classes but passed easily with an A. Do the homework and extra credit is offered so theres no reason not to get an A. Take her!
Awesome professor! Incredibly committed to her students! Exams are hard. Lots of homework. Extra credit can raise your grade by 5% (ineligible if more than 4 absences). Great exam reviews. 4 exams, fun group project, classroom participation points. Prof Medling definitely makes you work for your grade. Her passion for accounting is contagious!
Accounting is a super boring class but Medling makes it decent. Lectures are dry but that's just the nature of the beast. Do the homework or you won't do well, plain and simple. She gives plenty of extra credit, tests are easy bc you get a big flashcard. Attendance is mandatory and stay after class because she will give you hw answers. Best for 1A
Dedicated hard working prof who always has a smile on her face! Best teacher at Saddleback. Makes an extremely difficult subject understandable with her PowerPoint slides, lectures, tips, & handouts. Works hard to get students engaged-uses talking tickets which keeps class fun. Great stories. Always responds to emails within 24 hours. Truly cares.
Medling has a great way of breaking down concepts & making them easy to understand. Clearly loves teaching accounting & it shows, she is great at it. Awesome outlook on life. Is very helpful, lots of office hours, always willing to meet with students. Tests are fair. Go to class, do the work, & you will actually learn accounting. BEST teacher EVER!
Prof. Medling is the best and so peppy! Take her accounting 1A. Make sure you go to class as her lectures really break-down the chapters and make it manageable. She really wants students to participate in class so raise your hand. Very helpful if you need additional help. Make sure to stay on top of the weekly homework and study for the exams.
Professor Medling has been the best professor I've had till this day! She is so passionate about teaching and wants every single student to pass the course. She will always be there to help and is glad to. Love this professor and recommend anyone to take Acct. 1A course with her!
What makes this professor so great is her passion for accounting. She's always exhilarated to teach. Gives credit to those who try. Tests are hard, but she provides a practice test. Practice tests are gone completely over in class with tips to study. Allows students to bring 5x8 cards of notes for all four tests. Homework done online via connect.
She makes you work for a good grade but gives you all the tools and goes out of her way to make sure you can earn a good grade. She's responsive and understanding as long as you're respectful, willing to learn and work, and keep up communication. Even if you don't/aren't, she still urges students to be that way and is open to helping them.
Professor Medling is the star of this campus.
Professor Medling is one of my favorite professors at Saddleback. She makes a subject like accounting seem fun! Her lectures are clear, her homework is doable, and her exam reviews are very helpful. Do the work and you WILL get an A in her class. She is the best!
One of the best professor I've ever had! She's very passionate in teaching & wants each of her students to succeed. She gives practice test before exams and as long as you're willing to put the effort in learning & participate, you'll do great in class. Don't skip class because she would give participation points at random times. Love her stories!
By far BEST teacher at Saddleback. Prof M goes far above and beyond to ensure we learn the material. She CARES. Makes an extremely difficult subject understandable and actually interesting. Wish I had had her for 1A, learned more in the first 3 weeks of her 1B class than I did in an entire semester with a different easy A Saddleback 1A prof.
She does an amazing test review that really helps prepare you for the test. She also allows you to use a note card on every test. Great class overall.
Jane Medling is the best Accounting professor ever! I took her for Acct1A and 1B and I can tell you I learn a lot from taking her classes. 4 exams, one group project, participation in class matters and lots of HW. She does offer extra credit so take advantage of it! Do all the homework, show up to class listen to the lectures and study! I got an A
Medling is now my 2nd favorite professor. She truly is great at teaching. She's fair, patient with her students, funny & entertaining during lectures, and she really makes you feeling prepared for tests. Only thing I disliked was the long tedious HW. Obviously Acct1A isn't a cakewalk but she really helps you get through it. Hope to take her for 1B
Medling is as good as it gets-a professor who actually teaches! Bright, professional, and passionate-dedicates herself to her students. Learner focused. Clear syllabus. Engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgable. Great teaching style. Medling truly loves her job and it shows! It's a tough course-be prepared to work hard. Learned a lot and enjoyed it!
BEST online course EVER! HARDEST online course EVER! Learned MORE than EVER thought possible in an online course. Medling goes above and beyond for her students. She was simply AMAZING! Prof Medling was truly inspiring-wish she taught 1B online. DB assignments and WebQuest Project were reasonable and actually fun! GREAT final exam study guide!
Jane Medling is an amazing teacher at Saddleback. Best teacher in fact. She is always available to talk too, super approachable, and a very fair teacher. I was super scared to take accounting, but she really makes it understandable in her lectures, and by doing the homework and following the book. All I have to say is, your in good hands.
Nothing but positive things to say! Very helpful, even though the court is demanding.
Be prepared to work! Be prepared to actually learn! Be prepared to LOVE this course & the prof! Medling brings accounting alive in a unique way that makes it so you want to do the work & do it well. BEST online course I have EVER taken & I have taken many. Incredibly organized. Extremely clear course expectations. Lot of work for 8 weeks-worth it.
Ideal online course as long as U are willing to do the work. It's 4 units so there is a lot of it-not an unreasonable amount. Go to her office hours . ZOOM with her. Super quick email replies. Vibrant professor who is passionate about accounting, Saddleback College, and life. Her joy of accounting bubbles over. U won't regret taking Prof Medling!
OUTSTANDING online class-it's hard but if you put in the effort & stay on schedule with all the assignments an A can be earned. Take this class seriously-don't EVER get behind. What's great about how Medling has this course set up is she wants everyone to be successful-she goes above and beyond for her students. You won't regret taking this course.
Taking this course now. The bottom line is if you are willing to do the work you can get an A! Class is incredibly organized. I am learning so much thanks to her teaching methods. Assignments are posted with clear instructions every week plus she does a mid-week check-in email on Wednesdays and a reminder email on Fridays. PROF MEDLING is the BEST!
Hands down one of the best professors i have taken at saddleback and thankful it was for accounting IA&1B. Tough subjects but she makes it so fun and easy to understand, gives ALOT of extra credit that by the end raised my grade a whole letter. TAKE HER !!
Took her 7-9pm lecture and although the class was hard to concentrate in she kept everyones attention. Shes has no tolerance for cheating and will call people out for sitting in the back row and talking during her lecture. I actually understood the material and did well in the class. Awesome professor if you care about learning accounting.
Jane is a very friendly and helpful professor. She is one of the greatest teachers I've ever met. Its an honor and joyfulness taking her accounting class. She gave considerable extra credits which really boost my grades. Her class was funny and helpful. Also, the group project was a lot of fun and less stressful. Can't wait to take her 1B in spring
She is honestly one of the most passionate, funniest, and kindest professors that you will ever have at Saddleback. She offers tons of extra credit does an amazing test review making an A achievable but you have to work for it. Take her if you can get into her class because seats fill up quick.
Most amazing teacher ever! She loves accounting and so will you before the end of the semester. She makes an extremely difficult subject totally understandable. Class is NEVER boring! Unlike so many college professors Medling CARES about her students. Creative teaching style. Participation points are actually fun and help you learn the material.
Best teacher ever! Absolutely TERRIFIC! If you're going to take accounting you must take it from Medling! Outstanding professor who genuinely cares & wants us to be successful. Professor Medling is super smart (went to Stanford). Personable and goes out of her way to get to know students even though classes are big. Makes accounting understandable.
such a great instructor, the class was heavy on test and homework definitely covered a lot of material. The teacher was easy to contact and happy to help, such a positive person, I would love to take her classes again!
Accounting is a difficult subject, but her class is the easiest one to get A. Her tips are really helpful, so you don't need t worry about your exams. Attendance is quite important because she will ask you to do some assignments in class. Also, there are a lot of homework to do. It's a easy class but you need to work hard.
Professor Medling is, without a doubt, the best accounting professor to take at Saddleback. If you need a professor for 1A take her, if you couldn't get her for 1A, take her for 1B. She makes sure that everyone in the class will be able to pass. The homework is online, you can bring a note card to every test. Anyone who fails has no excuse.
Medling is the BEST! Love her teaching style! Lectures are engaging & surprisingly given topic NOT boring. Strict about certain things but as she says this is college. Truly cares about student success. I am thinking of majoring in accounting because of her. She is also in charge of the Accounting Society and she always gets awesome guest speakers.
Prof Medling is a great professor. I would highly recommend her. She truly wants to see you succeed & do well. If you put more effort into the Discussion Boards, you can get extra credit. You need to work hard, print all chapter study notes/outlines & READ the book. Use the Final Study Guide & make flash card as you go through each chapter.
Go to class and participate! Wants everyone to understand the concepts and succeed! She even allows you to reschedule exams (with a good reason). Tons of extra credit, but also a lot of homework. Gives a study guide that's very similar to the exam a week before. She also allows a notecard to be used on the exam. Use the smartbook q's to read.
Phenomenal! Amazing! Fantastic! Extraordinary! Superb! Wonderful! Sensational! Outstanding! Excellent! Terrific! Fabulous! Awesome! Remarkable! Magnificent! Exceptional! Incredible! Marvelous! Loved her class-she makes accounting understandable! There is not a better professor at Saddleback! Super hard class but worth it!
Best online professor ever. Hardest online class ever. Most organized online course ever. Her Blackboard site is the best I have seen for any course ever. Expectations are clear. Don't get behind. She replies to emails practically instantaneously. Always so willing to help explain concepts in more detail. Nothing but great things to say about her.
No doubt about it this online course is one of the toughest but t's worth it. Medling is incredibly enthusiastic about the subject. She spent so much time writing meaningful comments on our discussion board posts. I have never had a professor who cared so much. I wish she taught 1B online too. She is by far the best prof at Saddleback College.
Professor Medling is the best instructor you will ever come across in your student years. She is incredibly caring, kind, and student friendly. Professor Medling is amazingly humble and treats her students with the utmost respect. I consider it an honor to be her student.
The rating on 10/19 should be removed. It's a personal attack by a disgruntled student against the nicest, most student friendly, and by far best professor at Saddleback. Medling truly cares about her students. If you want to learn accounting and enjoy it in the process Prof Medling is the ONLY professor to take it from. Be prepared to work hard.
Professor Medling is the ultimate in perfection. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She truly cares about her students. Best professor at Saddleback College. Both courses were tough but worth it. Be prepared to work hard. Great stories. Engaging activities in class to reinforce the concepts covered in lecture. Loved having her for 1A and 1B.
Prof Medling is an excellent, caring lady. Accounting is difficult, but she provides plenty of opportunities for those who are not strong test takers. She said her son had a horrible college experience due to a professor he had which is why she's determined to be the best she can be to her students. Get the max. points on homework & participate!
She is a great professor but many people on here are misleading in terms of difficulty. Her class is only easy for those that put in a lot of work and stay focused. I would say I studied for 4-5 hours for each test and the homework is very long an tedious. So yes, for those that study and work hard, she is a great teacher. Not an easy A.
JANE MEDLING IS THE BEST ACCTOUNTING TEACHER OU THERE. SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS, ALWAYS ANSWERS EMAILS OR QUESTIONS RIGHT AWAY. HER CLASS WAS SO MUCH FUN AND SHE ALWAYS MAKES SURE YOU'RE PREPARED FOR THE TESTS. GONNA MISS HER NEXT SEMESTER
Just do all of the homework and youll be fine. I slacked off sometimes and it hurt my grade. She offers extra credit every week which I should have taken more advantage of. When I met her at the final I wish I took her in person! She was so nice and easy going. She gave a great review for the final.
Hardest online course ever. Most organized and well laid out course ever. Expectations are clear. Professor Medling is incredibly helpful and hands-on. Responds to emails almost instantaneously, not sure how she does it. Goes above and beyond. Colleges need more teachers like Professor Medling.
Tough course. Great course. Loved it. Learned so much. Don't get behind. Video mini-lectures are super helpful. Professor Medling is incredibly committed and passionate about her teaching. Medling is by far the best professor at Saddleback. She goes out of her way to help students succeed and actually learn the material. Wish she taught 1B online.
Fantastic, very available, helps out students who are willing to put forth the effort to do well. A lot of homework and extra credit, very clear instructions and guidelines, 10/10. Would love to take again but changed major, if you are looking for an accounting professor, she is the clear cut number one choice.
Medling really cares about you passing! Attendance is important, but coming to class wasn't too bad. I tried another professor for 1B but I wish I'd taken Medling again! You can totally get an A if you show up and pay attention.
Simply the best professor anywhere you go. I should have gotten an A, but I fell behind early in the semester. Completely my fault. However, it would be foolish to take anyone but Ms. Medling. Very accomidating, caring, and fun to be around. You can talk in class very frequently and make funny comments. Just do not go on your phone!
Accounting 1a was very hard but she helped me a lot. She's a very student success oriented teacher and that she give lots of extra credit. Her class need lots of work and that it's also quite difficult, however, just like any accounting class, it's always hard.
Professor Medling is the most caring nice professor in whole saddleback, great caring person want you to succeed . attend the lecture, do your homework, extra credit and practice the exam sample she give you and you will be fine. TAKE HER
She is the best and the most caring instructor anyone could ask for. Just show up to class, do the hw and the extra credit and follow the instructions. This is an easy class and very helpful. Highly recommend!
Take her! Gives lots of extra credit which makes it easy to get an A. There is homework and learn smarts due before an exam. A group project for both courses. I hated accounting and was scare to take this course but professor Medling made me love this course. Because of her I am pursuing in accounting. Attend the Accounting Society Meeting! Its EC
Great class! Lots of work! Best prof ever! Active participation is required but Medling makes the class interesting and fun so you look forward to attending. Her attitude and willingness to create a warm and welcoming environment is clear from the day you walk in. The world needs more teachers like Professor Medling-she is beyond awesome.
Professor Medling is amazing. The course itself was moderately difficult, but she makes it extremely easy to pass by giving out lots of extra credit opportunities and very clear material. The class was online, but the lectures and modules were very clear cut and easy to complete. I wish she taught more classes!
Medling is absolutely amazing. Her teaching style is top notch, unique, and super interactive. She's tough but it's worth it. She is so knowledgable about accounting, makes the material interesting, and is incredibly passionate about it. Medling really cares about the success of her students.
Great professor that made learning interesting and fun. I loved this online course. I've never taken a class where an instructor has showed such passion and commitment to teaching like Medling did. I felt like I really learned accounting and that all the hard work I put in paid off. She provided so many tools from her toolbox to help us succeed.
she count point not percentage. I was A before final but after final I got C. hard work , a lot extra credit, but grad is not fair.
Had a B going into final. Studied hard for the mandatory in person on campus proctored exam worth 38% of the grade. Aced the final thanks to her detailed final exam study guide and review video. Final is heavily weighted cuz it's the only way identity can be verified-required in order for class to be transferable to a 4 year college. Awesome prof.
She's good at what she does, she loves her job and shows it in every class. She keeps every class interesting and entertaining, which makes learning this subject more exciting! Homework/extra credit online and simple to complete. Hilarious teacher. Offers a good amount of extra credit, 4 exams- study good for them. 1 group project, fairly simple!
Highly recommend Prof Medling. Very knowledgeable about every field of accounting covered in both courses. Extremely approachable. Definitely not easy but you will learn accounting. Keeps everyone engaged with participation point activities that truly helped us master the material. Goes out of her way for students. Wants everyone to succeed.
Phenomenal instructor and class. Medling knows what she is doing and does it well. Incredibly organized course. Canvas site is well laid out and easy to navigate. Tons of work but worth it. Expectations are clear. Trust me, if you do all the assignments you will learn accounting. I loved her course so much I am changing my major to accounting .
Prof Medling was pretty cool. She was a little quirky but I really liked her. You can tell she loves her job. The in person final is heavily weighted but it was pretty easy and she allows you to bring two notecards.
Prof Medling is a legend. Hard working professor with a gift for teaching. Explains concepts very clearly. Lectures are fantastic. Incredibly down to earth and genuine. Prof Medling treats students like we matter. Highly inspirational prof and person. Medling is the epitome of what a professor should be.
Professor Medling is a tremendous person and Professor. She really has tons of respect for her students and it shows. Accounting is a tough class to pass and learn and she acknowledges that and tries to make it as simple as possible for her students. There is a lot of homework, but she gives tons and tons of extra credit. Take her!
Jane is a nice lady she cares about her job and her students which I appreciate. However, I do not enjoy her lectures. She does not do physical examples in class, which I dont like. She just reads off her notes the whole lecture.
Medling has a huge heart. Took her for 1A last year and have her now for 1B. Despite the large 1B class size (100 students) she makes us feel special and even knows our names. Great participation activities and examples that help us learn. She goes the extra mile to make sure everyone understands the material. Couldn't ask for a better professor.
Medling is a great professor. Goes over lots of practice problems to ensure we understand the concepts covered in lecture. Actually makes us think as we work either alone, in small groups, or with her going over examples that reinforce the material. Extra credit can raise your grade 5% which really helps because her tests are super hard.
Medling is honestly a sweetheart. Show up to class, do the homework on time, and do the extra credit. Her extra credit can boost you up to 10%. Participation is key and she has talking tickets; you have to have 8 by the end of the semester to get full credit(not hard at all). I definitely recommend.
MEDLING IS AMAZING. I took her for both 1A and 1B and i've never met anyone more enthusiastic about teaching than her. This woman loves what she does and tries her best to make the class as interesting as possible. If you show up and do the work there is almost no way you can't pass with an A. & she offers ALOT of extra credit. TAKE HER CLASS!!
JANE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT SADDLEBACK SHE LOVES HER STUDENTS AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. She is easily accessible outside of class. HW takes a while to try and do it early not right before the test. She,s also a stand-up comedian, and HILARIOUS <3. Mrs. Medling will go out of the way to ensure her students' success. TONSSSSS OF EXTRA CREDIT!!!
Shes an amazing professor with an amazing heart! Offers a lot of extra credit, tests are doable if you study. Homework doesnt take long, and its all online. Little in class activities that go by quickly. She will answer any questions you have and is accessible outside of class. Show up to every class and get to know her! TAKE HER!!
Jane Medling is the most caring prof at saddleback and easily best accounting professor. Accounting is not an easy class and she realizes that and tries to make the class as easy to pass as possible. 4 exams and one is take home for 1B class which helps so much! One project as well which is so easy. My advice is take her for sure.
There is honestly not enough positive things I could say. She is everything people say but better. Super passionate about teaching. Tell she sincerely cared about all students and wanted us to succeed. Second time in acct. Still a lot of hard work and feel fortunate/glad I took it with her. Smart decision.
Can't imagine taking accounting with anyone but Medling. Replies to emails almost instantaneously 24/7. Meets with you anytime even if it is not office hours. Wants us to truly learn the material. High energy. Incredibly passionate about accounting. Great variety of classroom activities incorporated into lectures. Class is tough but worth it.
What gem she is! I've taken so many online classes and she is the most organized professor there is! Everything is linked, ton of extra credit. Participation matter, she makes the class so fun and so passionate about teaching. I wish she could teach other classes that's my only complain. She is the best Prof. there is for AACT1.
The PERFECT professor. Medling is one of a kind. There isn't a more dedicated and caring professor. She is genuine, knows the subject material well, and most importantly knows how to teach it so we understand it. Her online classes truly come alive. Her supplementary materials and videos are amazing. Most accessible online professor I've EVER had.
Greatest professor ever. Medling clearly loves her job and her students. Really goes through the material so you understand it. Makes earning the required participation points educational and fun. Charismatic, passionate, and enthusiastic. Makes a boring subject super interesting. Goes above and beyond to help inside and outside the classroom.
I loved her as a professor as she made a difficult subject easy to learn and fun. She really goes the extra mile to help students. The homework does take a lot of time. The study guide does help for the tests and she does allow a note card for each test. Make sure to stay on top of all assignments as every point counts!
Good professor, fair class. Shes just a little bit rude sometimes. You can tell when her patience is wearing thin- try not to bother her when this happens.
There are 3 chapter tests that are not proctored with 1 proctored final. I didn't do any studying, and absolutely no reviewing until 5 days before the final. I went into the final with 101% in the class, got a 75% on the final and passed with an A. Just study her practice exams and study guide.
Professor Medling was an absolute joy, being very attentive even for an online class. This class was no joke; very structured and time consuming with a lot of reading and difficult material. You really spend an easy 20 hours a week. Be sure to read everything she sends out as her instructions are very specific Lots of opportunity for extra credit.
This subject in general is not easy. However, it is very clear what is expected of you. Do the weekly connect assignments and DB posts on time. Every week is consistent. Tests similar to connect homework assignments. She can be condescending at times so make sure its a completely necessary question. Just do the work and you will pass.
Best accounting teacher ever! I really loved her feedback and participation. She makes learning fun. I took both ACCT1A and 1B with her and it was great. For tests, she allows you to fit as many notes as you can on one 3x5 notecard, which really helped with the dry material. Accounting can be so dry, but she made it digestible and fun.
The only professor I have ever had for an accounting course that can make accounting fun. If you don't enjoy her class, then you REALLY won't enjoy accounting with any other professors. I transferred to Berkeley and reached out to Medling to ask for some useful accounting documents and she immediately responded and provided the documents to me.
She's such a hard teacher , i would not recommend her at all with so much homework and having a final of 750 points. It's ridiculous and not easy at all.
There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Prof. Medling. She genuinely cares about her students, which is shown is her consistent commitment to support us in any possible way. Considering the current online environment, I could not have asked for a better online experience. Put a reasonable amount of effort and you will be rewarded!
Prof. Medling's love for accounting is definitely contagious. Lots of extra-credit opportunities, reasonable amount of homework, and super clear study guides. Take her, you won't regret it.
I started off the semester not liking Professor Medling and her class, she's a little annoying at times and the criteria for the class is tough, but she became one of my favorite professors. She truly cares for her students and is there to help her students in any way she can. The class is tough but you get good grade as long as you work hard.
Lots of homework, but reasonable deadlines. Many extra-credit opportunities! Do not fall behind in this course, as each chapter builds up on previous concepts. Overall, great lecturer, and such a caring Professor!
Professor Medling is a great professor, she is very knowledgeable on accounting and is very caring when you take the time to ask for advice/help. Make sure to do all the Mcgraw-hill connect assignments and extra credit! She also gives an amazing review for the final. Online isn't my favorite but she made the class very achievable.
As a student with no previous accounting experience, I found this class to be exceptionally difficult. You WILL spend over 20+ hours per week on the homework alone. The first 3 tests were open book but were still VERY difficult. The multiple-choice Final is proctored and worth about 40% of your grade. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT AND FINAL STUDY GUIDE.
Professor. Medling is amazing even though it is a fully online class with no zoom meeting. One thing that Professor. Medling is great because of her email responses is so fast and gives lots of feedback on discussion assignments. Tbh, the heavily weighted final is much easier compared to the open book chapter exams. She gives lots of extra credits.
Medling is one of the most caring professors I've met at Saddleback. She's very responsive to emails and is always there to help out. She gives tons of resources (videos, guides, etc) for the tests and final. From someone who struggles with accounting concepts, Medling made it a lot more understandable.
I was so lucky to have Professor melding for my first accounting course. She is an amazing teacher, you can tell she really takes the time to create her lectures and makes sure everyone understands them. There are many opportunities for extra credit. The tests won't be difficult if you do the work. She has a very kind heart and cares about students
Probably the best professor Ive ever had. Please take this class!!!
Saddleback college has lots of grate professors and professor Medling is one of them. She is very understanding and responsive, don't hesitate to reach out to hear if you're struggling. Do the homework, do the extra credit, and master the study guide for the final. Accounting is not an easy course and you need put much effort to the best result.
Vey dedicated and caring professor. She puts the extra effort into teaching and responding to her students. One of the best professors at saddleback. The only flaw is that the homework takes a long tome to complete and does little to help on exams. Her study guides are very important and outlines what is on the test.
Professor Medling is an amazing teacher! Even though I learned everything remotely and asynchronous, it was always easy to reach her with any problem I had. You can tell shes the type of teacher that really cares about your success as a student!
Do not take this class if you plan on having a social life. Way too much hw and tests are impoassible
You will fry yourself doing homework every week. Melding if your reading this give less homework. We have lives also.
I agree she is very kind, but the work load and her specifics on the most minor of details is ridiculous. A 16 week class you should not be spending 12-15 hours per week on. Too much work and its taking away my time to be spent in my other courses. she needs to consider our time and stop being so ridiculous with her grading on the minor stuff.
Take Professor Medling for ACCT 1A! She is very sweet & cares a lot about her students. The material can be challenging at first, so reading the book and practicing the homework is necessary and helpful. Make sure to do the extra credit and practice quizzes! Your grade reflects how much effort and hard work you put in.
I do not know why there are high ratings. This professor treats the students like we work full time for her. I wish I never registered in this course with her. It is overwhelming loads of work and the expectations, especially given that this our first accounting course, are that of a CPA. Just ridiculous. pretty sure she posted the positive rates
Medling is a wonderful, caring, and loving professor. It is clear to see she is passionate about accounting, and she will help in any way she can. However, the workload for this class is HEAVY, minimum 15-20 hours a week. There are 4 MIDTERMS, 1 FINAL (Worth 35%), and weekly discussion posts, learn smarts, and homework modules. Be ready to work.
She provides a lot of extra credit and also provides a study guide for each exam. She provides an outline, handout, and vocab list study these it'll be vital to know this information when doing the assignments and taking the exam. Watch her lecture videos to get a better understanding of each chapter, doing this guarantees you an A!
Professor Medling is a fantastic teacher. She is hands-on and always accessible. She gives you all you need in regards to information to succeed in the class. I appreciate her teaching style and I am a 58-year-old student going back to school and it hasn't been easy. Thank you Prof. Medling for your hard work and help with success in Accounting.
Good professor but would often get sidetracked when doing lectures. Expects 16 hours total a week just for this course which is a little overboard, but if you just read the textbook, do the homework, and extra credit (she gives a bunch which is super helpful) you can get a solid B.
If you are looking for an online accounting class with a professor thats sole purpose is to provide you with every tool to grasp and pass this class with an A, you just found it. This was my hardest subject to learn, but had the most support and tools to land me an A. Follow directions and do the work as suggested, and you will earn an A.
Accounting 1A is an intense class that I dreaded taking during my time at saddleback. Professor Medling made accounting seem less daunting because she would give great feedback and ensure I continued on the right path. I genuinely recommend you take this course. Be prepared to spend time studying the material because a few topics are challenging.
Great professor, very helpful and understanding !
Anyone who gives Professor Medling a less than perfect review, clearly did not put in the hours nor the effort into the class. Her videos and presentations definitely helped pave the way towards an easy understanding of the material and I could not have had a better professor than her to guide me. She is a very understanding and lenient.
Professor Medling made ACC1A a breeze, as this is my second time taking the class, and going from an F to getting an A in this class is something I had never thought I could do. Her videos each week really helped me learn the material that was being taught. The Final is worth 30% of your grade, take notes like she said each week and you'll pass.
one of the best professors I have had in my college career, get ready to have great feedback and a professor that will email you back the same day and will not make you wait to get your grads, you really should think about taking this class very nice professor.
Professor Medling was genuinely the best online professor I've ever had. She provides lots of extra credit opportunities and sets her students up for success. Her lectures were easy to understand and made the material much easier to get through, and the class was laid out very clearly. I would highly recommend her class!
To pass this class you have to really keep up with assignments. There are many opportunities for extra credit and Prof Medling gives great feedback. In my experience she always replied to emails as soon as possible and always had good things to say when she graded discussion posts. As stated this class does take about 6-8 hour a week.
Jane Medling is a great professor, always giving office hours for help and the course materials are super easy to access. The Accounting Society meetings are for extra credit in attendance, and if you do not get an A you are doing something completely wrong. I wish I could take her for 1B, thank you Professor Medling!
Overall, this class was actually pretty challenging for me. You really have to fully understand the book to complete the midterm quizzes. This was pretty much a self study class in my opinion. There weren't any in depth lectures going through the whole chapter. Midterm quizzes are kinda hard but the final was pretty easy. A lot of extra credit tho
Horrible. Her ratings are deceiving, as she requires 16 hours of work per week, which really is over 20 if you want to get close to an A per assignment. This type of work should be an 8 week class, and even then this class has more work than my 4 other classes I am currently in. DO NOT DO THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT A LIFE.
I will give her credit, she does respond to emails quickly and gives extra credit. Although the extra credit may be good, it's something that is basically mandatory for you to do if you want to achieve greater than an B in her class. I am honestly surprised I found time to even write this review.
I am not a math person, but professors Medling's online course is clear and concise. She offers help and makes herself available to anyone who asks help. Her video lectures are very helpful. She gives you all the tools to succeed in her lectures, notes and study guides. Professor Medling offers so many extra credit opportunities and is fair.
I would like to say that Professor Medling but her course is way too time consuming and virtually impossible to participate in any other courses but hers. She assigns literally every possible assignment on McGraw Hill and also expects a discussion post to be done each week. I do not recommend taking this class, especially if you are also employed.
Medling is great. Approachable caring prof. Really cares about her students. Time intensive 4 unit course. Easy A if you do all the work. Course is extremely well laid out in Canvas. Assignments are due weekly on Saturday nights. Exams are straightforward and open book. 10 weekly discussion boards. 1 easy fun project. Lots of extra credit.
This class is A LOT of work, but Professor Medling is very transparent and tells you exactly what to expect. Professor Medling is genuinely so caring, always encouraging, and gives countless extra credit opportunities to help raise your grade. She truly cares about her students and you will 100% succeed if you put in the effort!
Professor Medling will prepare you for any accounting class that you take in the future. Yes, she assigns a TON of work but it helps you and you will learn what you need to succeed. Do the work and you will get an A. Take her if you are serious about learning and getting the best information and foundation for all classes.
Professor Medling is awesome, she posts silly jokes in the weekly updates and keeps things light. There are multiple opportunities for extra credit. The workload is around the same from week to week but all in all it becomes part of a manageable routine. She is motivational and pushes you to finish out the semester strong through the announcements.
She is very upbeat, caring, and kind, but be warned. Do not miss any assignments if you want an 'A', make sure you do all the extra credit as well. There is so much reading and viewing of material that you need to work a week ahead just to keep on top of it all, you should invest in some accounting software if you are slow at calculating.
Professor Medling was one of the best professors for an online class I have ever had. Great feedbacks and lots of extra credits and very helpful
the worst professor i've ever had. doesn't teach the course. do not take her.
Excellent instructor The videos are easy to follow and the entries for accounting are easy if you do your homework. if you don't study though it's like any long skill and you wont grasp it... The teacher is great and gives lots of extra credit like an obscene amount. I passed and learned a lot "fifo and lifo"
Take this professor if you have the chance! Clear grading criteria and many extra credit opportunities. She truly cares for her students and wants everyone to succeed. You get what you put in!
Take her!!! like literally she gives us so make extra credit, I was so busy with my part time job and did not have time to do the discussion board assignment, but she still gives us so many extra credit opportunities to help us get a A in this class. Best Professor I've ever have. I wanna to rate her 10000000/10, TAKE HER BRUHHHH
She is a great professor. Very understanding. At the end of my 8-week course, I had a C and she offered to meet with me to fix my score on an assignment and help bring my grade up to a B!
I took this class all online, there is definitely all of hw, assignments, projects, etc. But Professor always always did a great job being clear on the expectations and grading. Uses lots of Extra Credit, self made lecture videos, and mcgrall hw assignments. I felt she was very organized, very communicative, and a class with lots of homework.
Professor Medling made accounting easier to understand. She gives you plenty of attempts to learn by doing. Extra credit is very abundant and has the power to make your grades so much higher if your test grades aren't the best. I highly recommend this teacher!! So nice and understanding. Will do anything for her students!
If you aren't in the zoom on time, you're getting a talking to after class. She has no sympathy toward students who use the online textbook even though the physical one costs over $200 while the online book is around $70. The amount of homework for a once a week online class is crazy, and you have to do even the "optional" extra credit for an A.
Prof Medling's live stream ZOOM class is amazing! She is incredibly caring and kind. Goes above and beyond for her students. Her passion for accounting is contagious. Accounting is not the easiest subject but she makes it understandable. She really knows her stuff. Workload is definitely manageable. Easy A if you do the work.
Great professor. Loved the class. Canvas was extremely organized & easy to follow. Super quick to respond to emails. Course expectations were extremely clear. Medling truly cares about her students & wants them to succeed. Her video mini-lecture series really helped me understand the material. I also liked the outlines & vocab lists she provided.
She is fair and willing to help improve your grades.
Besides the 2 hour lecture the class itself is not bad. The professor is super helpful and genuinely wants you to pass. It's important to pay attention to the lecture and the notes she emphasizes as they will impact the outcome of your learning. In general I think accounting is hard so this class couldn't of had been easier no matter the teacher.
Great accelerated summer class! She is so passionate about accounting. Easy A if you do all the work & follow the detailed instructions for the WebQuest Project & Financial Statements Assessment. Wish she taught 1B. Very fair. Extremely organized. Quick to reply to emails. Met with her 2x on ZOOM & she was very helpful. I truly learned accounting.
Class was extremely organized with clear guidelines and directions for all assignments. There was lots of work but it was a full semester class condensed into 8 weeks. Overall it was a very manageable online class. Not a hard class if you stay on top of it. Subject matter is a bit dry but she livens it up. Highly recommend this professor.
She is fair and willing to help you improve your grades.
