It is hard to follow teacher. She doesnt explain each step. You can get a C if you try. You must read, do all questions and possibly ask for outside help to do well. Test are hard, no curve, no extra credit.
Very difficult to do well in class, no extra credit, grades down on everything. Tests are extremely difficult. Very boring! Hard to stay awake!!
Do not take this teacher if you are trying to get a good grade. Hours of homework and all she does is go over it the next class. Pulls obscure things from the book for the tests. I dropped the class!
This teacher is hard but good. lectures are very easy to understand. Her tests are hard and she tries to trick you into the wrong answer. Overall I learned a lot in her class. However, don't take her class if you want an easy teacher.
This Professor definately knows her stuff, but her time managementskills need a lot of work. She is terrible about testing and getting papers and tests back to you in a timely fashion. Her tests are very hard and too "wordy". Her tests are too l
She is the hardest teacher. Grades very hard and the groupwork takes forever. I studied forever and barely got a C. Try to take someone else if possible.

She is hard and cant teach at all!
Knows material very well but boring and hard to pay attention...repeats herself a lot. Group assignments suck...to much work. She forgets we have other classes. I don't recommend!
The most horrible teacher ever to teach a class. Lectures and lectures, i would rather watch grass grow. Although she is the only teacher that does this class for Actg B & C try to take it somewhere else. HORRIBLE class...i can't emphasize that enough
Teacher tries to be helpful but is not a good teacher. She comes off as stuck up and aloof but she is the only one that teaches higher level accounting so you're stuck with her.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Very hard lectures does not know how to teach. Hated every minute I was in that class. Was boring and very unhelpful as well as extremely HARD.
very hard teacher but it is just a hard class. she teaches very well and is a very good teacher. fair grader, very clear and concise teaching.
I hate this ****. SO SO SO Hard. Will not pass anyone
she is a boring teacher however if you pay attention and study you will do ok. i didn't study at all and i got a C. very understanding and helpful outside of class, especially if you need to miss a test.
Very boring, don't bother going to class if you're tired because you will just fall asleep, hard class too!!!!
Part 2: She grades on attendance so that is a problem. Her tests are very hard, but i think they are book tests, because i came to class every day and blanked out the lecture and did great. In B and C there are almost no As in the class. Dont hope.

The absolute worst teacher ever. Hardests tests, the most homework, all she does in class is go over homework and talk you death, and has the worst monotonic voice in the world! Avoid This Woman AT ALL COSTS!RRRUUUNNNNNN ! And I rarely make bad comments.
Voice like a automatron
Boring. She goes over the homework for most of the class and if you can stay awake in there you will pass the class
she is the worst ever, not cool at all. I think it is her mission to fail as many students as possible
Her voice will most assuredly put anyone to sleep, however she does try to help any student in any way she is able to. Group projects suck, period, no matter what class. She definitly knows the matterial but make sure you have plenty of caffine beforehand.
Holy...i have never had a teacher like her before. She has that monotone voice, i signed up for the class interested in accounting...ended up dropping by the midterm. Not a horrible teacher, just boring. Hw is optional, but make sure u do it..i might of passed if i did my hw.
Teaches on transparencies. I disliked accounting when I left moorpark, but when I got into a university I found that accounting can be interesting. Stick through the pain.
Mrs. Feingold is a fine professor. Sure the HW can be long and tests can be wordy, but I dont mind doing it because she is so nice. She is always there for questions as well as grade objections if need be. I have nothing bad to say about the lady.
My worst teacher by far. Monotone voice that puts you to sleep. Difficult, monstrous tests and also dreadful group projects. Not cool...
PLAIN AND SIMPLE: she's a genious in accounting, but a HORRIBLE teacher. if u are slightly bad in accounting, u will not pass this class, guarenteed. she is very boring, i used to run out the door everytime she turned to write on the board. if u can avoid her...u r lucky!
My counciler summed her up: "If you get a B in Feingold's business class, its like getting an A in anybody elses class." Stick with her lectures even though they are boring. She is very nice and very helpful if you talk to her after class and in her office.
This teacher is soooo monotone! She basically reads you the text book. You could do just as good by reading the book on your own and showing up for tests. VERY Boring and dreaded every class :(
Feingold definitely knows what she is talking about and has a great knowledge of the subject of financial accounting. However, her monotone voice puts you to sleep. She basically reads the text book to you. She has a GREAT interest in helping you achieve a good grade. She will always be there to help, but her lectures are difficult to understand.
Should not be called a teacher as she does not actually teach, just tells you word for word what the book says on transparencies. She is also boring, no class participation at all. I did get a B though when I only expected a C.
oh my god.the worst teacher ever! i was in for two weeks and couldn't take it anymore.the most monotoned **** ever. the stockmarket and the revenue blah blah blah **** i dont give a****.SO BORING!!looks like Ms. Belivider..wears womans suits.do not, i repeat DO NOT take this woman.save your self why you can..if this doesn't change your mind.....
speeds through the material, really tough. this is the first class I'm questioning wether I can pass or not. She's the department chair, DON'T TAKE HER.
hard to keep up with, very boaring, but she does know what she's talkin about and she is very helpfull when asked questions, she's just very hard to follow in class, i try to pay attention, but its just 2 boaring. no class participation. i wouldnt take her again.
if you are interested in accounting major she is a good teacher... she knows her stuff and is willing to help and answer questions...but if you have no interest in accounting you will check out of this class in a matter of seconds...VERY BOARING, monotone teaching method.
The worst teacher I ever had. This is the first class I've had to turn in homework to be graded. I never worked so hard for a C in my life. Avoid her at all cost.
she is very difficult to follow. she is the only who offers the class though. good luck. she is tough.
I'll put it this way. I was excited about majoring in Business but after her class i'm thinking about changing my major. She's boring, i fall asleep in her class, every class. She is helpfull outside class but still, where do they find these teachers? Soory, it's how i feel.

Extremely monotone and hard to listen to. The class was difficult but SHE CURVES THE GRADE. I could have sworn I was getting a C or maybe a D but I ended up with a B. No individual homework but assigns group work, and grades harsly - the highest grades on those were C's. Gives take home and in-class portions on each test - both difficult and long.
if you love accounting you might want to take her. anyone else run! she just doesn't care its her reading overheads and thats it.hard tests.. alot of your grade is on group projects that rely on other people and to bad if they dont do there part. She wont even know your name by the end of the semester. my counselor even said "stay away from her!!"
Always available. Courteous. Very friendly. Thoroughly knowledgeable. Engaged with the subject. Clear explanations. Material is initially difficult to grasp and surprisingly time consuming. She makes it clear, but you have to put in a lot of time on homework and test prep.
No No No..even though this might not be the most exciting class professor feingold is an extremely smart and talented teacher. She has a tough job trying to make a subject like accounting fun. Id say you take her class if you want to learn...To get an A you gotta put in your time
I have to agree with all the other people about her being boring. One of the worst teachers I have had. She is intelligent in the matter but needs to learn to express it correctly. Makes little since and the tests are extremely hard. Not to much homework besides the take home test. (still do in class test the next day!) Would not take ever again!!!
went into this class expecting worse,it really wasnt that bad,mabe cuz it was my second time through,this time was better then the first tho.she's very nice and really tries to make it fun,its definatly not impossible to get an A.shes a tough grader but curves the grade at the end. my advise; read ur ass off & show up! its only as hard you make it
She didn't grade on a curve in the class I took. She is so boring and makes no attempt to involve the class. Do not take her if you have a choice.
The way she looks is the way she is...not helpful. only cares about herself because she knows we dont know what she's talking about so she expects us to know. Unclear, I think almost the whole class failed!
She doesn't have a clue of what a good professor is. she is just there to collect a pay check. Tests way too difficult and not from book. I'm she reads the book line by line, but at the time of taking the test nothing is from the book. If you're interesting in accounting DONT TAKE HER, CAUSE YOU'LL END UP HATING IT. TAKE ANYBODY BUT HER.
so hard. and doesnt help. if u have a choice dont take her. reads straight from the book. makes everything longer than it is
This teacher is really nice if you talk to her in person but she is the worst teacher in the world!!
Dress and style reflect her time in the business world working as an accountant. Talks about everything in the book and is very organized. Expects a lot. You definitely have to do the work to get a good grade but will be very ready for the next level class.
Mrs. Freigold is the best professor I have ever met because I really learned accounting from her classes. Her teaching style is really helpful to construct solid fundamentals. To get an A is easy if you are willing to pay attention and follow her clear and workable instructions. You’ll thank her efforts while you’re in advance accounting courses.
Mrs. Feingold really is not as bad as these people say. She really knows her stuff. Although she does read from her powerpoints, taking detailed notes as you go really passes the time. She is always available and very helpful. Be respectful to her and she will be respectful to you.It is a lot of work, but hey, its college, not high school.
I took her for managerial accounting, it was so bad i couldnt take it, she doesnt teach, she reads for a book, then gives these crazy exams that are so hard. Her voice is monotone, but thats besides the point, if your going to give hard tests like that, give examples in class so we can learn then for life/testing purposes. Spraggins is better!!
I am now a student at UCSB-transferred from Moorpark. Looking back, I can now say that Feingold truly is a great teacher. Her instructions are clear, the homework she assigns is relevant, and her grading is fair. She's actually better than many UCSB profs. No, she is not too difficult -- UCSB is MUCH worse, believe me,so stop complaining! A+ teach!
Grow up! This is college not high school. If you plan to transfer to a university you need to know how to study. Getting an A for doing nothing may get you in but it won't get you through. I transferred to CSUN and was better prepared for upper division classes than most students in my classes and I owe that mostly to this instructor.
great teacher . u'll get A if u read the book and do all the homework good luck~ most of u say she is reading the textbook, right but accounting is just base on the charts, books .
She is really educated but absolutely not able to teach. Unfortunately her class is a waste of time and energy.She gets u lost. The material is really easy and she makes u get lost and think its really hard. Just a simple explanaion can work much better than reading the book out loud for students. She is a reading teacher not accounting!
THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. ONLY A CPA. SHOULD STOP TEACHING. BLANK FACES AND A LOT OF DROPPED PEOPLE BY THE FIRST MONTH.
Only 3 people got A's.Most of the students dropped. Its a miracle I got an A. Her tests are meant to trick you. I know a lot of people say,"just read the book" but most of the test questions come from the chapters text, not just the homework. So READ the chapters and MEMORIZE what it says in the text, plus memorize the homework answers.
Not my kind of teaching. Its difficult for me learn and understand the material when the teacher is just reading off power points which are from the book. She couldn't keep my attention. After this class, Accounting seems really hard but everyone tells me it's easy. I hope I have better luck next time with a different teacher.
Has to be the worst teacher i have every had. She did not even get to everything on the syllabus. She combined the last 2 chapters into the final. She is very mono toned and sounds like Ben Stein. Its horrible. Good luck to whom ever decides to take this class.
Feingold is a very bad teacher, although she seems like a nice person. She is very boring. She doesn't teach during class, she just reads answers from the book. She assigns group projects that have to be completed outside of class. She grades way to hard and makes it seem impossible to do well. STAY AWAY!
By far the most boring incomprehensible teacher I've ever taken for an accounting class. Where are all the good accounting teachers? Do not take her unless you HAVE to!!! Annoying voice, repeats herself so much that you have no idea what she's talking about after a while. I learned most everything on my own from reading the book.
Flat out the worst teacher I've ever had. She did not teach us anything and I am completely lost in my accounting 2 class because we build off of things we were supposed to have learned in here. In an 18 week class, she actually ran out of time even though we did nothing.
I took her years ago and have gone on to recieve my MBA. In all my years of school, I have never had a worse professor. She seems like a nice person, but her lectures are mono tone and never ending. She never interacts with the class and sitting through this class was worse than getting your nails pulled out of your fingers one at a time.
Prof. Feingold is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are long boring and impossible to take any information from. You will be forced to teach yourself in this class. Again she is a terrible teacher, however, she is very nice person and is pleasant to talk to.
Especially in these hard economic times it is important to have guidance & teachers who care & know how to listen & assist. Despite student complaints she is still in place based on seniority. Please dont take her classes that is the only way she can be forced to stop hurting students. Every other teacher is a pleasure to work with so be smart!
I don't understand what everyone is talking about. She is a great teacher. She is professional, helpful, and extremely clear on the content covered. If you follow her recommendations and read the book, do the homework before class, you will do fine. Awesome teacher.
she isnt horrible, nor does she "not teach" and just read from the book. business isn't supposed to be a fun class, nor too interesting. she's helpful for the most part and makes sure to answer all questions she gives good examples and has a clue to what shes talking about.
Reads key definitions from the book & repeats important points but that's because most of the students don't seem to bother to do the reading and homework and she is trying to help them learn. Uses class time to explain homework problems and exams are exactly like the homework so just do it and you will get at least a B.
DO NOT take this teacher! Testing is not on par with what is taught. The class started out w/standing room only, ended w/half the students gone. I stayed only because it was the last class I needed. A big waste of time, & unless you are an accounting genius, you will not get a grade above a C, if you?re lucky. She turned me off accounting forever.
Good person, Horrible teacher. I wouldn't take any class from her unless you plan on/like teaching yourself. Grades down to the last detail so if you miss even a small bit, but still get the general idea, you get points taken off. I thought finance would have been fun. Silly me.
Stupid teacher with stupid lectures. DON'T take this class!!!!
Do not take. I am a straight A student and got a C in the class. No student interaction, tests are too hard, and she's just very boring. I've never seen a class where more than half of the students were failing, no one had an A and she still did not curve the class. Gives pop quizzes. There is no reason to take this teacher if you do not have to.
Nice person, but horrible teacher. She does not teach, simply reads from the book verbatim, very boring. Tests are very hard and set you up to fail. Gives no extra credit. More than half the class dropped. Unfortunately, only one available who teaches in class in evening. Suggest taking class online (when offered) or at another college.
She explains things well but her tests are pretty hard. She does give EC which is helpful. My advice is pay attention, take good notes, do the assignments, read the book & take advantage of the EC.
Not an interesting teacher and hard tests. Tests seem to be on information not gone over in the class, so read the chapter more than once. Most of the class failed or dropped.
Very good professor, helpful and extremely educated on this field. Ive come to understand that most students that talk bad about this class are lousy. she def. prepares us students for the real world and university, unlike other professors. One of those classes where you need to read the chapter before walking in class. recommend
Good professor and knows the subject very well. Tests are okay but the final is quite difficult. My suggestion is to do the homework, read the chapter before class and ask questions. She is very patient and really wants to help her students understand the material. Do any EC that she offers, it helps!
She is a god teacher, doesn't really teach anything. Homework is not mandatory but she does get annoyed when there are low tests scores and she knows people don't do their work. Tests are not hard if you do all the homework and ask questions. The class is boring because there is no interaction and it's all lessons. She's really good if you do well.
She's a good teacher who knows the subject very well. Her tests are hard and you definitely need to do the H.W. and pay attention if you want to get a good grade.
Very kind, patient, willing to teach. Do the homework, attend class and you'll do great.
This class isn't fun, it is what it is. But she is clear. She would LOVE to help you if you need it. I suggest always doing the work so you can keep up. Be there every day because if you get behind it can be hard to catch up for some people.
Helpful teacher but you still must really work hard to pass this class. I worked my tail off and am very happy with my B grade. The top students do not take full time units simultaneously, as I did.
Excellent Professor. I didn't know anything about accounting but I did well in the class. Janice Feingold was always very patient and helpful. If you read the book, do the assignments and pay attention, you should do well in her class.
She is not the most interesting professor, but her lectures are clear and helpful. She is very patient, and is always happy to answer questions and clarify things. Her quizzes are definitely hard. Her tests are super long-- I didn't have time to finish one of them. But they are not hard, and she grades generously.
DO NOT TAKE! Unless you are ready to teach yourself straight out of the book don't take her. She never teaches in class. Only went over the homework and tests in class. MOST BORING class I have EVER had. I HATED going to class because of how bored I got but she makes attendance Mandatory! Which is stupid because you have to teach yourself anyway.
Lectures are almost entirely a monologue. 75% of class consists of homework review (again, monologue). Some of the homework is graded which is nice (15% of grade overall) but the tests are terrible. Not super hard but way too much in too little time. You'll find yourself starring at the clock freaking out halfway through. Never finished one test :(
Homework is key to success in this class. The professor rightly points this out at the beginning of the semester. Completing the homework allows you to follow along with the lessons. With that said, she could afford to have a few MORE exams that cover a little less material. The exams were on the lengthy side. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
She is a hard teacher, however, is willing to help if you need it.
There's no reason to complain about her. She gives you a wealth of information and then tests you on it. She's nit-picky about formatting your financial statements so pay close attention to the $ and alignments. Other than that, she's great - super thorough.
