She is great, new techaner but has Masters from UVA, she has worked in the field and knows her stuff, if nothing else she is full of energy and more than willing to help. All work is online and powerpoint, don't buy the book.
BEST TEACHER!if u hate acct she will help you understand and learn it well.she is welling to help you with anything.the only thing is she cant do anything about the test's, they are made by the school, so whatever grade u get is final.But with her notes and her practice handouts anyone can do really really good.I did with her help.(everything is online and powerpoint you don't need the book at all)
WONDERFUL TEACHER!SHe is a new teacher with tons of energy.She breaks the material down to you.The material is hard but her notes help with the HW and tests.I hated this subject but she made eveything so clear and easy to understand. If u need this class take her and you well do wonderful.Do the work and you'll get the grade.
AMAZING TEACHER. Changed my major to accounting. Extremely helpful, understanding, and overall a great teacher. Powerpoints are awesome. TAKE HER!! plus she is HOT!
As some teachers are focused on grading, she's focused on teaching. Grading comes second to her; she really has the heart to teach. If you just go to class and listen to half of what she says, at least a B. If you try just a little bit, than guaranteed A
Come to class, listen to the lecture, use wileyplus for your work and your set. Make sure to pay attention really nice proff. Ask questions if something is hard. Really like to help people
Accounting is not easy. But she will do everything she can to help with a positive outlook. Sometimes I found her hard to follow. She also helps a significant amount before exam with review sheet.
Good professor. Lectures are easy to follow and powerpoints are posted online. Definitely go to class, there is an attendance policy.
Amazing teacher.. TAKE HER!! She is very helpful, easy to follow, and truly loves what she does. Reviews before tests, and gives adequate time for HW.. plus, shes seriously HOT!!
Great teacher! Extremely helpful and friendly. The subject itself is not that easy but doing homework will help you out a lot. Im definitely taking her next semester
she's a babe! Fun to learn from... i got a B... Enough said
Awesome teacher and is very clear on the material. Yes, she's hot!!
She is a really good teacher. She makes learning fun and explains things really well. Not super strict so if you have side conversations she won't yell at you. I would definitely recommend her; I'm taking her next semester. Plus she is super HOT!! and dresses really well.
The BEST I've ever saw!!! So helpfull, so clear. Gives a great review before exam. I didn't like acc before her, but now I'm thinking about switching my major to acc!!!!
First thought, she's gorgeous. UGA/UVA grad. Accounting is tolerable when she teaches. Crystal clear, Homework due right before exam (3 exams+final). If you read, practice, and cram before the final, you will do well. Can use TI-83 for exams. No cell phone calculators. Will take ACC 212 with her, great teacher.
All information needed to pass this class is right in the book and posted on blackboard. Very easy to prepare for the three exams and do well.
Great teacher, very clear and helpful. She has power point slides that cover everything on the test, has a review day for homework questions and practice test questions. Also before the test she has a quick review. Almost forgot to mention, she HOT!
She is an amazing teacher and helps you a lot. Her power-points are awesome and tell you everything you need to know. She has a review-date and handouts with practice questions before the exam. Do your homework & practice problems and you will be fine.
Best teacher I ever had.Just perfect!
It just baffles me... y can't all professors be like her... she was born to be a teacher. she explains some of the most complex stuff as if it were the alphabet. Take her, if you don't you're an idiot
I took her for both 111 and 112 and to be frank she is an amazing teacher. It all makes perfect sense when she explains it, she is truly interested in our education and is cool and laidback (but still organized and formal). Excellent teacher. Do take her.
Shes a babe!!! very helpful, funny, and absolutely knows how to teach accounting. Her exam reviews are great. DONT MISS THEM!! She doesn't make the exams, the ACC department does, but she prepares you for them marvelously. Oh and don't miss class, you'll get lost pretty quick, it's a fast paced class. Not that you'd want to miss class, she's hot.
very very very helpful. accounting is not an easy subject but she definitely did her best. must go to the class before the exam, her reviews are extremely helpful. do the study guide. do your best to pay attention in class, even though it is all powerpoints. do the homework early and ask questions.
always smiling which makes class very pleasant in a very hard subject. Dont need to get the textbook, all the pages of txtbook are online, I got an A. Not an easy A but an easy B, and thats just how accounting is, u have to practice and cant be lazy. Dont take anyone else but her for accounting, and she is hot too.
Easy class, goes over the chapters on powerpoint. all you have to do is print out the slides and do wileyplus and you should get a good grade
I really liked her. She was thorough in class with tons of power points. I feel like you realy have to be stupid to not understand accounting after taking her class.
BEWARE GPA dropper do yourself a favor an take Elizabeth Locke literally gives u the answers before the test...
She goes over everything thoroughly, she'll gladly help you and everything we go over is on blackboard. I've taken other accounting classes, some teachers are hard to follow and some just give you answers-which if you plan to go to GMU will not help you. Definitely take her if you show up to class and do the work you'll pass.
She's helpful & HOT but you need to study. Acc it's not easy
Easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. Accounting is not hard, it's all based on opposites if one account does something than the contra account does the opposite. She will go over everything until you understand it. If you study, pay attention, and go to class it's an easy A. Accounting is not a blow off class, don't treat it like one
Acc is not a easy classes to understand but if you learn the good basic skills to understand the acc from acc211 then your good until 212 as well. She is a great helpful teacher and gives out much more than acc class, so take that advantage to ask her a lot of question because she is always responsive to every question!! Great teacher!
I took both ACC 211 & 212 with her and she is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She makes the subject interesting and is very easy to pay attention to during lecture. She is very helpful and is always there for her students. Although,the subject of accounting is not easy so attendance is necessary and you have to do all the homework for an A
Amazing instructor. Loves her work and it shows. She is responsive and directs you right to the areas in the text or the online link to assist you in your learning. I can't say enough about her. She is a teacher in every sense of the word!
What can I say...Prof. Mitchell is simply the best! She makes a hard subject like accounting seem easier and she talks with great clarity. Unlike alot of professors out there she loves to teach and that makes all the difference in the world
She starts each class by going over the week's agenda and informs you of any extracurricular opportunities that may be beneficial as a transfer applicant. This obviously portrays her preparedness and genuine concern for the academic success of her students. Midterm + Final + online quizes and hw. You earn your grade so don't expect an easy A.
Great professor! Worked for one of the big 4s-so has a lot of experience. Is always willing to help and give advice. Easy A as long as you do hw and study for midterm and final. Very clear and concise. Must take this class if majoring in acct or just need it for major! You won't regret it!!!
One of the nicest teachers and people I have ever been around. She gives a lot of examples, and if you study them, you will do fine on the tests. I would definitely recommend her.
Prof. Mitchell was a fantastic teacher. She is very strict about deadlines, however it is for good reason. She is very helpful and wants her students to succeed. However, if you take her 8 week ACC course be prepared for an extremely full and fast paced course.
Professor Mitchell is great! Do the LearnSmarts and the online homework and quizzes. I used the LearnSmarts to study for the midterm and final and got A's on both. If you need help, just ask her. She is very committed to her students success! Great professor for accounting!
Great prof! You actually learn in this class and get to pass with an A as long as you study! Make sure you answer all the questions on SLO, study guide, and go over HW! Study cash stmt!!! Very important! As long as you go to class, listen, don't procrastinate and study you will get an A! One of the best prof at NVCC
How on earth you won't love Acc while taking it with Mrs Mitchell. She is an angel. She doesn't care about ur grade, she cares about ur effort. She is very inspiring with all her passion and charisma , you will pray if the semester will be extended for longer time
Ms. Mitchell is the most amazing professor ever. She has inspired me to want to become an accountant. I am majoring in business at this time, but am planning to change my major once I transfer to GMU. She also teaches there as well, and I Will be taking all classes that are available to take with her. Great Great Lady.
The department has a rule that you must get at least 60% on the exams in order to pass. I did great on the midterm but messed up on the final and she failed me, even tho my total points had me at a B. In the end, all the work I did was thrown out the window. I bet you 9 times out of 10 the final exam is what costs students this course.
I HIGHLY recommend professor Mitchell. She is quick to respond to all inquiries and gives great feedback. Mrs. M is possibly the best professor I've had. I took this class online in 8 weeks. Be ready to put in A LOT of time I spent on average 15 hours/week during this course. If you put in the work and use the practice pages you will do well.
She is the best prof I've ever had! Took her for two accounting classes. She's so sweet and is a great teacher. Accounting can be challenging sometimes but she tries to make it as easy as possible. She's very happy to help you when you have trouble with something. Really cares about her students. I don't know anyone who's taken her and hated it.
100% recommend. Dedicated professor tries to make everything as clear and as interesting as possible. Can't recommend her enough. If you don't take her you'll regret it.
Prof. Mitchell is amazing. She is organized, amicable, clear and concise. A very genuine and effective teacher. There were no surprises in the exams and homework. Everything we needed to know was given to us. You need to attend class and pay attention, and you will fly through the course. She makes it very easy to learn something tough like ACC
She's really nice but personally i don't recommend her because there's no room for error in this class and that's scary. U can't fail the exams, and the final is harder than the midterm. Just don't take accounting at the Annandale campus. Ur life will be stressed and miserable.
Test is too hard. You need to remember stuffs, close book. Don't recommend to take her class.
If you are looking for a better grade, do not take her class. Tests are really hard, closed books. Lectures are fast. Honestly, you need to be very good at memorizing to pass her class.
She is a good professor, but her exams are tough. Do not just focus on preparing journal entries because her exams will also test a lot of key concepts. Each multiple choice question answered correctly is worth ten points. If you answer 3 questions incorrectly, you will lose 30 points.
Ive taken both 211 & 212 with her and she's always been helpful and clear on her assignments. her lectures help u do the hw and the hw helps u on the exam. just remember whats on the online quizzes because those show up on the multiple choice test. u have to get 60% on both midterm and final. ignore the neg feedback. seriously . i recommend her!
Best professor I've had at NOVA. Accounting is hard but she makes it easy. She's always available during office hours and wants you to succeed. You can miss 100 pts in this class and still get an A. If you do the homework, follow her guides and study there is no reason you can't get a good grade in this class. She has been a great mentor.
Jill is great. She holds the bar high but if you follow her syllabus you will be fine. She is clear & concise, organized, helpful, & nice. She gives out plenty of extra-credit and people are comfortable enough to ask questions. Accounting is hard and no matter the teacher and you will have to put in hard work and time.
She's an awesome professor! Very sweet and nice. I encourage you to go to her office hours if you need help. I must admit, I also had a crush on her. She's beautiful. But don't let that distract you! Pay attention
Ok, this is a very honest feedback. Unless you have any idea of what accounting is, passing this class is really hard. If you don't work at home, you won't pass. She goes really fast expecting you have read this chapters at home. Tests are very hard. She is a nice teacher, but I'm regretting taking her in a 8-week class. Practice is all I can say!
Everyone says how hard Prof Mitchell's tests are but as long as you read the materials and follow the powerpoints, they're very easy and they're only 25 questions. She's gives extra credit opportunities every week which could easily bring you up a letter grade. She's clear, concise, and extremely beautiful (if that sells anyone)
You are learning from the best in Virginia if you take her classes. This was my first accounting class and my third semester at college and Prof. Mitchell took a dry subject like accounting and made it easy to learn. Nonetheless, the class is very lecture heavy and her tests are hard. If your willing to work, take her class!
Prof Mitchell is the best. She is very knowledgeable, has experience in the work force, and goes above and beyond to help her students develop a career in accounting. She teaches clearly and patiently, making all relevant information available on Power Pt. slides. Content was not particularly difficult to master; hmwk in 16 wk was easy. She is kind
One of the best professors at NOVA. I never thought accounting will be interesting or fun but She makes accounting so simple and fun teaching you each and every step in all the problems makes homework really easy. If you study the review packets you will do fine on the exams. A true Gem! Please take accounting 211/212 with her no one else is better.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is an expert in accounting and responses your emails in a timely manner. She even meets up with you and helps you out until you get it. Her lecture was hard, but she made it fun and easy to understand. She gives us extra credits too. Take her class.
Her slides summarize the textbook material but you should read the textbook and practice the problems in order to fully understand. Her exam review sheets were helpful in preparing for the exams and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She is kind and always willing to help students. I enjoyed her class very much.
Prof. Mitchell is amazing. Took her over the summer (8 Wk Course online) so it was fast paced but she has a good amount of resources to ensure you do well. She uploads ppts for each chapter so you dont need the text book. 4 exams, 2 proctored, and 2 open book. It was mainly exam based, so you have to make sure you put in the work and study.
Prof Mitchell honestly makes accounting understandable. She tries to simplify it as much as possible. I went into accounting not knowing anything, but I visited her during office hours and she's super helpful! She gives 4 exams and online homework is due on Sundays. She wants you to do well in her class and is extremely helpful!
Professor Mitchell is a really good professor, and really sweet. She tries very hard to explain you the material. She cares about students, and she is trying to be helpful as much as she can. If you'll study for exams and do your assignments, than there shouldn't be any problem. She also offers extra credit.
Golden choice. I took her once a week/8 wk course in the Fall of 2017 and it was fast paced. One week you have lecture, the very next is your exam. Tests are 25 multiple choice, NOT open book. Study the slides, what is in pink is what is on your exam. Extra credit opportunities given max 30 pts. Print out practice exam, (solutions posted).
Professor Mitchel is kind and BEAUTIFUL. The only reason why I think it was challenging is because I took her 8 week course. You meet once a week and then the next BAM! is your exam. The exams are super easy though. Just study the slides, do practice exam, & youre good. Most questions are conceptual so those are a gimmie. Ur in good hands with her.
Not the best, but not bad. If you need to take her, she's better than most. A bit high on herself, but knows her stuff. It's not an easy subject, so get ready to work.
I took Accounting 212 with Professor Mitchell and she was amazing, even though it was an 8 week course, she took her time to help her students. Wayy better than my previous professor in accounting. Her tests were not easy, but were fair and she tutored me every time I needed help. I will certainly take her again when moving onto Mason.
Shes not good or bad
best prof ever! She cares about her students, puts thought into every lecture and lesson. She makes it easy and fun but acct is a hard subject. If you struggle go to her office hours. She wants everyone to get an A but you have to want it too. Wish she taught all classes. She also will help you get a job after you graduate. Get on her side.
shes not a good professor its a hard class if you dont follow her guidelines you will end up with a F. if you fail your exam, you will fail one exam you will end up with a F straight from an A
She gives a fair bit of work, but as long as you pay attention to the lectures you'll be fine. She is extremely helpful and patient if you stop by her office hours
Terrible professor! She doesn't clarify difficult points, and doesn't engage students with practical activities. During the lesson, it is very difficult to follow her.
Horrible, I mean horrible Professor. Bearly around to help, little feedback to offer, and if any feedback tells you to read the book for help. Fail one test and youre out. She believes you should study 20 hours outside of the classroom. Just another bad professor at GMU.
Professor Mitchell was the best teacher I could ever take for accounting. I struggled with accounting only because it is a difficult subject for me. However, she made me want to learn it and was very good at explaining concepts I didn't understand and no other teacher was so helpful to me when I struggle in class. Im lucky I took her for 211 & 212
Hard class, amazing professor made it easy to understand
My previous online experience at NOVA has been redeemed! I think Prof Mitchell works harder than most in-class professors. She responds quickly to questions and her quizzes, exams, and grading are all fair. The point is to learn and not memorize, so the moderate (sometimes large) load of homework and assignments are necessary.
Professor Mitchell is so far, the best professor I've ever had. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She knows a lot and puts lots of effort to make the subject understandable.
The Professor is the best I ever had. She knows the subject very well, uses various technology to conduct lecture, extremely prepared for each class, provides very clear instructions about how to study for the course and prepare for exams, continuously improve her teaching material, and willing to answer questions and help outside of class. BEST!
Teaching this online course while she does absolutely nothing. This Mcgraw hill crap is a joke and she hasn't even thought anything herself. We are taught through an automated VOICE! This course is a complete joke and is a SCAM!
A joke of a class taught by a completely other platform so enjoy being scammed to pay for a 3rd party software known as McGraw hill to teach you 90% of the content through an automated Robotic voice. This is a complete disaster for students especially during these uncertain times. One of the worst experiences ever
Absolutely the worst professor I ever had. She alway try to say the work that you submit is not yours and etc. You will learn nothing in her class.
Horrible Horrible Horrible. If you would like to learn something and have a small respect don't take her.
Professor Jill is an amazing professor who takes her time to grade and respond to every assignment. The class itself is pretty challenging but if you put the work in there is no doubt you will earn an A. She has a tremendous amount of patience and will thoroughly explain anything you are confused about.
i literally learned nothing. it was absolutely bad. She just knows how to make up and solve no problems.
This professor hands down is the best professor I've ever had in Nova. I will never let her go and will take any class in my major that she teaches with her. She is inspiring and cares about your career and your learnings. You learn and can talk about accounting in business being in ONE of her classes. I'm not an A cus I didn't do the work.
Professor Jill Mitchell is probably one of my favorite professors I've ever had! She really does care about you and is very understanding; all you have to do is reach out to her and email her is you have any concerns and she will work with you. Just show up for class and do the work thats literally it. Overall she's such a nice professor!
Take her. She is amazing, so understanding (she states at beginning that family comes first before her class) and her course structure is soo in your favor. Easy final project instead of final exam. And she makes her exams "quizzes" where they balance out w/ hw and other grades and don't impact u too much
Prof Mitchell is a real gem, she is the best prof I have had at NOVA. She is so caring & really tries to make students enjoy the class and actually learn about accounting and the field around it. This past year she told students about so many free virtual events they could attend for extra cred while learning about the industry. Easy A plz take her
One of the best professors I have ever had. She clearly posts all assignments due at the beginning of the semester so you know what is expected of you. She grades fairly and is available to help outside of class. I learned more in this class than I ever expected I could. If you do the assignments you will pass with a decent grade. Just outstanding.
She is a good professor. But you have to put in the work, when you ask questions she is eager to help. There are 7 Quizzes she drop the worst one and no final just a written paper. She knows her stuff she help write the book we use in the class.
Amazing teacher. She not only knows the material but knows how to teach it very well. THE most organized class i have ever taken, i have always hated and sucked at accounting/math but passed this class with a 95% Lots of extra credit opportunities, she is very understanding, grades on time, goes over every topic in class, gives you career advice!
She is one of the best professors you will come across! Please take her if you want to actually understand accounting. She is so caring its honestly shocking. Tests are open book, the pre-lectures are not bad and the quizes are exactly what you will see on the pps. Her lectures are so fun and understandable, she is so sweet you have to take her!
