No Comments
She's got the attitude, but because she takes the class very seriously. She demands the work, but also she helps a lot, and answers the questions. If you want to know accounting, she is the professor to take.
Very accomplished in life. Extremely stern and strict during the class. But, VERY helpful if you ask, VERY cool outside of the classroom and during the breaks. Hang out with her when she goes out for a smoke during the breaks.
she gives a lot of homework and classwork but it pass off on test and your final grade.
She is a very helpful lady and if you keep up with the work, you will learn a lot. She tells you exactly what is going to be on the exam to the detail so you know what to expect. There are no surprises in the class and extremely reasonable.
Best teacher one can have. She's not there to have fun! She is very clear, and only moves on when she feels everybody got the material. If you wanna learn acc. or even pass with a good grade, She is the WAY to GO!!
She is very nice, but very tough, so be prepared to do lots of work. However, her tests are not that difficult and she pretty fair grader. A bit mean though, be nice to her :)
Best Professor I have had in Baruch. She goes straight to the point, teaches you real stuff and no BullSh*t
A very good professor, she teaches very clear and do many practice exercises with students. She requires a lot of work but which is really helpful.
She is a verry good professor. Will teach it until you understand it. However, dont think about slacking off in this class. She is extremely strict with students. Sometimes talks down, but if you want to learn take her.
This is a serious minded prof. who really cares if you learn. She is just the best!....only if all professors were this good.
she may look scary, but she is a good prof.
She can be very tough and pick on certain students- so watch what you say to her. But overall, she can be helpful once you work up the nerve to approach her with a question.
This women is a real ****. Ill advise anyone taking this class to not mess with her because she will scream and make you feel stupid. The good about her is that she can really teach. If you listen and do everything she asks it will be Easy A.Very Helpful
if she picks on you.. that means she likes you.. she really is stand-offish, but she is a good teacher. The only thing i don't like about the class is her grading.. she is the worst grader. i don't know what her system is, but it sucks!
I thought prof. Tannen was a wonderful professor I took the class in the summer and even with all the rushing she did a wonderful job teaching the class she is tough but fair this is NOT an easy A if you are lazy, do the work and it will be an easy A.
She pushes you like crazy and sets the bar very high.I was gonna major in HR, but after this class, it's ACCOUNTING, baby. I love her for all the screaming and wisecracking she does in class. Take her only if Ur an ACC major.
Don't take this class in the summer. It's way too fast and crammed up. She does 1 chapter in 1 day. But she is a good teacher. Take her in the fall/spring.
I agree, dont take her in the summer. she moves way too fast
She is a VERY GOOD professor. She does not put up with crap. She makes sure everyone understands the material before going on to another chap. If you want an A,do all hw! SHE's GREAT, but strict
She is very interesting. she is loud and rude at times but the fact of the matter is, she is a great professor and you will walk out of there knowing Accounting. If taken in the summer, be prepared to do a lot of work.
she is a pretty good prof..I took her during summer and i learn alot..can be rude at times..
best professor ever. she is reaslly smart, and very accomplished so she really knows what she is talking about. if you really want to learn accounting do yourself a favor and take her.
She's excellent. She knows her STUFF!!! She has years of experience in the field which she uses to illustrate examples which is very helpful.
Great professor, one of the best accounting professors in Baruch. Her teaching is clear and sharp, and right to the point. Taking her class could make you feel that taking accounting is not only for requirement, but also for yourself, and your career.
SGT. TANNEN DOESN'T MESS AROUND, SHES VERY HELPFUL & TAKES HER TIME SO EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS. IN CLASS YOU FEEL LIKE A BUNCH OF CADETS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T PLAY ANY GAMES BUT OUT OF CLASS SHES MORE RELAXED. HER BARK IS WORSE THEN HER BITE.
She's great the material was so much easier to understand when she teaches it. I didn't learn much from my previous acct prof. She goes thru the hw so that's a plus. Take her
"Tough but fair" describes her best. She explains the material well however she belittles students and gives that "I'm better than you" attitude towards us.
great professor, agree with comments below, do the hw, dont talk back to her she'll make you look like a fool, but outside the classroom is friendly, take her!!!
do the homework
Professor Tannen is a drill sargent, but she knows her stuff. I like the fact that she doesn't put up with the wiseguys and smart asses. I'm terrible with numbers and before i took the class i was expecting to get at best a C. I walk out with an A and i actually understand the material. Take her.
She is hard, doesn't explain well and takes crazy points on tests if you find a mistake. Take someone else if you can
best acc2101 professor in baruch. She is tough on you but you learn the material better that way. If you wanna learn the intro of accounting and you plan to major in it, take her. If you wanna sleep and slack off, avoid her. I wish all my accounting professors taught like she does.
Bad hair, but thats besides the point. Excellent in teaching but poor in listening. Don't participate if you don't know what you are talking about, she will embarrass you. She is tough, but soft with grading. She does not play and straight up teaches. Take her, easy B but w/ effort you can get A.
She is a good teacher but she belittle students. if you want to understand accounting take this course. just don't say anything stupid or she will put you on the spot.
She has her moments, but basically she wastes away class time talking about how much there is to learn and how hard it's all gonna be, but she never seems to get to the actual teaching. She's on some kind of ego trip, which is typical of people who cant wait till happy hour...
great teacher for learning,but will belittle you if you ask a question if she doesn't like you.she's super rich
dont bother to take her
At first this professor made herself seem so strict and mean. I did all her assignments b/c i was scared that she is going yell at me. She explains the hard concept better than any professors here. If you just pay attention in class and do the work this class would be easy. Just ignore her shouting!

Avoid this teacher if you are not an ACC major. There are only people who do real well and others who get really bad. There is no In between. This teacher will make fun of you if you ask a question. I went to tutoring at least once a week and still got a D+. I am thinking about requesting an F.
She is not as bad as people say. She really cares for her students & wants all to learn. Do all your homework & you won't get less than a B+. It's a hard class & from other professors she is the best! Quizes as homework.
She can be mean, but at the end of the class she becomes all warm and mushy.And this woman CAN teach believe that, when she says if you do all your homework "you're homefree" she really means it! Wonderful professor, take her =)
she's mean ass hell, but she can teach her ass off. by far the best teacher i've ever had. but be prepared to work hard, cuz she is a drill sgt. in the end its worth it
Great professor...one of baruchs best. Take her and you have a shot at passing a hard course.
When people call her sargent Tannen they are not jokeing. She is really mean and scary and intimidating-but its for your own good. Accountings not easy but she really makes it easier to understand. Do the homeowrk!
she is intimidating but very fair and a great teacher. DO NOT COME LATE, READ THE CHAPTER B4 CLASS, DO NOT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS and you will be fine. do the homework because it is basis for the 2 quizzes and 2 midterms. 2 group projects and the final. i reccommend her for anyone who wants to learn acc and dont worry shes all talk. im getting an A.
Excellent professor. She prepares you for the real world. You have to work hard in her class, but in the end it all pays off. Take her if you are serious about your education.
she is simply the best.Her teaching style is just outstanding.I am feeling so confident after taking this course that I can teach anyone now.She is very strict and you gotta do ur homework and reading and have to be very attentive.Take her and u wont regret this decision if u r really serious about accounting.
She knows how to explain, but that's an easy class compared to intermediate and advanced. Once I got 83 on the midterm. According to her it wasn't good enough. She said u can't be an accountant if u don't get straight 90's up. I did become an accountant Tannen. She ignored students when they asked questions and that made me feel bad. Very sarcastic
one word: **** but her class isn't hard if you do the work, there's a lot of work but take her for this class keep up on it, do your homeworks, do the group projects and pay attention in class don't ask questions in class she'll embarrass you and what can you say back? she's giving you your grade
As long as you read the book, do the homework and attend class, you'll get nothing lower than a B+, unless you're just plain dumb. She was tough on us, but it helped me walk out with an A.
Read the book and do the hw before coming to class. Practice and you'll be fine. Good teacher, very knowledgeable.
Very very mean~~~~~~~
HArd class too much work not an easy A
If you want an easy A for get about it. She is know as Sargent Tannen. Dont bother asking questions unless you are a genius because she will pick on. She hates when people ask question because I guess she likes talking a lot. Hard class and she is unresonable at times. Totally does not take the time to care about her students. (dont need the book).
she is a very tough professor so if u get intimidated easily, dont take het. she is actually a very good professor. eventhough she can be a real b*tch at times, she can really teach accounting. im serious when i say that if u r serious about majoring in accounting, TAKE hER she is very good. just make sure u suk up to her constantly~she LOVES it
the class itself is not that hard u just have to understand some concepts and she does a good job teaching but as the others pointed out she can be a real b@$$%h sometimes...do the hw she assigns caz it will really help u out understand better
Tooked for her the summer. Got an A. My first impression = Meanie. Last impression= GREAT Professors. She don't like to answer "stupid" questions though. But overall, she make sure u do u're work, which u should anyways, how would y understand accounting if u don't do sample problems? It's not just an easy A, it's an earned A w/the help of Tannen
explains well. selfish and self-absorbed, but dont let that stop u. ask any question, dont mind her attitude. very helpful outside class. nice person when it comes down to real issues. she'll help u get that A easily, but dont skip HW. do the problems!She wants to be the boss in class but outside class she's more like ur friend! take her to learn
Look, most important read the book, do your home work. Practice and practice and practice doing the problems and you will be fine. Makes sure you understand the material which is hard. Overall, I liked her class, gives good explanations of hard concepts but accounting itself is a hard class. Just read the book and do hw BEFORE coming to class!!!
Do not take this class in the summer...the workload is insane..no joke. She is the type that likes to keep a very tight rein on her class..screams a lot and belittles her students when a softer hand would do just as well cause she is a good teacher..was a senior accountant at exon I think.Take her if Acc major.tests easy if u do the hw..must do HW.
One word ****!
Mean prof. but she's the best. she can teach....i mean she can really teach. just do those hws...not can't be hard.....she makes it very easy to understand.....i actually told my last prof to fail me.....and i'm glad i did that & got her for this semester....20 sth "A"s on the 1st midterms.....take her.....take her......
The hardest teacher in accounting ever, people say she can teach but not really. She gives soo much HW and the test are very hard. If you have a high GPA prepare to make it go down.
People say she's a good teacher BUT you have to deal with her screaming day in and day out; she treats you like you're 12 and will pick on you about everything. NOT an enjoyable class at all, makes the environment negative. It's a trade-off, good teacher horrible learning experience. My suggestion: Stay away. I would of if I knew before hand.
you have to WORK for a good grade from tannen. and she's kinda mean, but she is the best professor for you to take in this section. once you learn basic accounting from tannen, youre pretty much set for your upper courses. she's THAT good.
HArdest class ever in Baruch, she is sooo mean and like she gives hard exams. She is also not nice and will give you hw almost every class metting
Shes a great professor. She makes you do the hw by scaring you but that gets you really prepped for the exams and ur other acc classes. She knows her stuff and you learn alot. Don't be intimidated by her because all she really wants is for you to do well. The exams are easy and she is very nice with the grades...She really does have a heart.
Great Professor. Can appear mean when you first get to know her but she really wants her students to succeed and get a good grade as well as solid understanding for basic accounting
guys she sure does yell a lot! but u must learn to ignore and just listen to her teaching and take notes--SHES IS MADDD NICE IF U SOLELY approach her--shes a good hearted woman--show her u want to progress she will give u support--DO THE DAMN HW!!!!!!!
seriously ppl, she is not nice, first impression is always the last one. don't fall in the trap of her gradual nice approach, she certainly has her fav, do urself a favor and dont take her, there are better professors on the campus
god where do I start.. I should have listened to the other posters before registering for this nightmare, She was out for 2 weeks and when she came back she went into psycho mode. Yells at you for no apparent reason, try not to ask many questions she will flip out on you.. Stay away if possible.
Professor Tannen is REALLY MEAN.However she's a great teacher. She's really detailed and does a great review session before the final. How to pass with an 'A'. Do your homework EVERY SINGLE ONE and pay attention. Go to her review classes. SUCK UP. TALK TO HER AFTER CLASS. IT REALLY REALLY GOES A LONG WAY she will stop yelling at you.
Yes this professor is crazy and hard, however if you do all your work you will get a good grade and might actually like accounting. Must study, quizes once in a while, final was harder then midterms P.S if u do take her dont try to do anything extra fancy for the projects just do as she asked
For some reason she was always yelling at me in class-I don't think she was very fond of me! I can tell this teacher cares about her students grades, but if she was just a bit nicer I think more students would be appreciative of that! The main criticis is not her attitude, that is tolerable with patience, but she writes sloppily on the board!
She is good at teaching, basically for the exams make sure you pay attention in class and read the book, you will be fine. She is an easy grader. If you really want to learn acct, take her.
Can be mean at times, but the bottom line is she is a very fair grader, and gives you every opportunity to pull your grade up. Projects/Homeworks/Quizzes are complete jokes and she doesn't give less than a 60 on them, even if you hand it in blank.
she is the best professor i ever had. yes she is tough, and yells sometimes, but she wants students to learn and to do good. she is a nice person & very considerate-- & if you show effort it helps. You will learn alot from her :) :) :)
She is definitely the toughest. She's crazy (as in mental) and will lecture you to death. It's 2 exams, a final, and graded homework problems done online. You need to read ahead and stay on top of your work to really do okay in this class. Exams: 30 multiple choice and 3 long problems that you need to do from the top of your head in a blank paper.

She is a very mean professor. She likes to yell at students for no apparent reason.She doesn't know how to respect students. Yet, she could teach though. She's a good teacher but very harsh and disrespectful. 2 midterms and online graded hws and 1 quiz and a departmental final.
SHE IS DEFINATLY A VERY HARSH TEACHER BUT KNOWS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT. IF U DO ALL THE GRADED HW'S AND SHOW THAT YOU ARE TRYING SHE IS A FAIR GRADER. JUST DON'T GET ON HER BAD SIDE.
She YELLS at people in class and I think my high school teacher teaches better than she does.... The group project is a joke because some of you will end up doing all the work and she wouldn't care.
I have to write this comment, just to warn anyone who is thinking of taking a class with this professor. She is the meanest professor I ever had, a believe a person like that shouldn't teach. She yells and stresses people. I had to drop out of that class because I couldn't stand being near this woman.
She can be mean on the outside, but really she actually has good intentions on the inside and is good at what she does, although you need to study alot!
An excellet and caring professor. Prepares you for the real world (which we all know is not always soft) and motivates you to study. NO BS. I learned so much from her! Take her if you want a REAL education.
"Run for your life.." is what you'll want to say during her class. Absolutely blunt, rude. Very robot-like, has no feelings. she will force you to do well but thats not how you teach. Annoying woman!
She is very mean and rude during class. She's mad nice when you actually talk to her in person after class. i remember she made a girl cry during 1 of the classes. however, she could definitely teach. She gives you strong foundation for accounting. She forces you to learn all the stuff by giving you a few quizzes. Good prof overall.
ACC2101 is tricky, and while she may scream, she screams at the lazy students who ask questions without putting forth any effort. She gives smaller quizes instead of tests, each one being on 2 chapters, which is a HUGE help. She really communicates the material very well. If you know how to do your work, you'll like her, if your lazy, you won't.
She know her stuff, but in general she is kind of rude. She would scream at students. Sometimes she is right, though. Some students are just plain ignorant in class. Overall, She is good professor but kind of rude and mean with students.
throughout the whole course i thought i might just have to retake the damn course until i studied for the final! i wasnt doing well but since the final is like 30% of ur grade it helps out a lot! i got a B- after almost thinking i might just fail! totally understood the textbook when i actually read the text for finals! she maybe mean but shes koo!
I dont know what to say she thinks were all stupid and she's probably right.will not tell you whats on the test dont bother asking her anything during class shes nice and understand if you talk to her before or after. she really changed my work ethic and really made me study which helps me in my classes now expected a c, but got a B. overall not ba
She is rude and disrespectful to students. She also drinks gin and seltzer while she teaches. She is an angry ****. She doesn't like questions and enjoys berating and demeaning students.
I honestly think that her problem is that she cares too much to the point where she drives herself crazy and screams...she doesn't really foster a learning environment since she attacks you when you ask a question, or even answer one...she does give a curve at the end, but i think that you could certainly get a better grade with a different prof.

If this is your first yr in Accounting, THIS IS NOT THE PROFESSOR FOR U! She has a nasty attitude and dosent take the time to make sure EVERYONE in the class understands!She'll focus more on those who get it as quick as she does...mind you this is 1st yr accounting. I'm changing my major because of her. The wiley book is very helpful. 4 Quizzes, 1
If this is the first time you are taking accounting you might as well change your porf. now,while you still can.She is VERY tough,knows her material,but will get on your case.Be prepared to be called on.Doesn't explain much,you need to study on your own.No Mid term.4 Quizes a final and a group project.Must be in class.You need the text.
This professor is one of the first women to work at one of the top accounting firms (Ernst). She not only teaches you about accounting but teaches you about current events, job search, and life. She is tough and very straightforward. If you are a lazy student and expect to breeze through this course then it is not for you. Great professor.
She is a tyrant. Her career experience is irrelevant to her ability teach or speak to one as a HUMAN. Cannot foster a learning environment when all she does is belittle students and their abilities which she does by yelling and putting her hand up to dismiss anything you say. 5 quizzes, a group project and a final. Good Luck!!
EXPECT TO STUDY AND READ THE BOOK IN ORDER TO GET AN A IN THIS CLASS She is a good professor even though that she is really mean in class but as long as you know what you're doing you will be just fine.6 quizes, wiley hw and 1 final covering the last 3 chapters.Just make sure you are on top of your game for this class Good overall!
I wish I could take her for any class I will take in the future. Even though she seems like a mean professor at the beginning, she will really make you understand what accounting is all about. She will change the way you look at the finance world. I aced the final and had over 90 average on her quizzesand I got an A in the class. Prepare to work ha
If you are accting major student, I highly recommend you taking her because it will benefit you ALOT, i think the reason why i ace acct3000 is b/c Prof. Tannen!
She's a sweet lady.NOT!!OK, she's not gonna be patting you on the head,but she'll definitely teach you some serious accounting! She snaps and yells occasionally, but at least she keeps you awake!I think she is funny when she's angry, like a little Grinch.Main point is - she explains everything clear and puts it in simple terms, that really helps.
Actually teaches the material. In class, to be on her good side, just come ON TIME, pay attention, do not talk back, come having read the txtbk w hw problems complete. The only thing that makes her "difficult" is the fact that she is TOUGH & can be rude, so this class is not for softies, however, when u talk to her 1-1 she is actually really sweet.
cntd* Nice of her to break all chapters into 5 quizzes. Do all wiley hw, read all chs ontime, don't fall behind. Class w/ her is what you make it, she was very understanding when I spoke with her in person. Final was a bit harder than the other quizzes, but she really was generous w/the grade she gives if she sees ur serious and hardworking.
read the txtbk, do the hw, you pretty much get everything. BUT she explains the last 3 chapts better than the bk. breaking the bk up into 5/6 quizzes was very helpful. final was the last 3 chs. pretty easy grader. mean- kept the class quiet but geez.. then she would freak when few ppl participated. reason-she scares ppl
This lady does not teach.She wastes class time yelling at ppl.Harder grader.Mutliple choice quizzes are killers,if u miss one prob,u lose 4pts.Class is boring n useless.Professor is just pure mean.
First woman to work at E&Y, so she can be as arrogant as she wants. Don't take her unless you plan to major in accounting. Otherwise, she is crystal clear in explanations. As everyone else said, her m.c. quizzes are a bit tricky, but hey, if you read the book and have some business COMMON SENSE, you can get an A in this class.
Being the first woman in an accounting firm doesn't mean that she can teach. Got it?? The only thing crystal clear in her class is the cocktail she brings to class everyday.
What can i tell you...Funniest class ever(if your nerves are strong),otherwise that woman will do EVERYTHING to make you go crazy.I can't really understand why this prof is soooo mean to people,but it is very sad that her behavior creates such a negative atmosphere...
Hilarious if you have a sense of humor! Yes, maybe she teaches the class a little different than most professors... but you actually come out of the class understanding it. Tests are fairly graded... multiple choice questions are tricky (read the textbook and you'll be fine) though.
Prof. Tannen is simply the best! And this is coming from somebody who did not get an A. Yes, she may be rude and downright mean sometimes but its because she cares too much about the quality of students she sending out into the real world. She gives you the tools...what you do with it, is entirely up to you...continue on next page
A great accounting professor. The class is a bit like a high school atmosphere where she controls everything. She's a bit rude n intimidating at first but when you get to know her shes harmless and funnily sarcastic. Her exam is a lot a lot easier than most acc profs. only last 3 chpt a very fair grader. but she does smell like alcohol lol.
good professor, fair grader.
DO NOT TAKE HER!!! She does not teach you. Worse yet, she distracts the entire class with her crazy antics. And to all those who said she's a great professor...well, she isnt because you are not taking the class for free. Stay away from her. She's not helpful.
I REALLY DISLIKED THIS PROFESSOR AT FIRST BECAUSE SHES RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS BUT I REALIZED THAT IT ALL BENEFITED ME AT THE END BECAUSE THE NEXT ACCOUNTING COURSES THE TEACHERS ARE REALLY BAD AND I WISH I HAD HER BACK. AND DO YOUR WILEY PLUS!!..she needs to layoff the gin and tonic though..
Very good professor, explains content sufficiently, fair grader, but very mean. If you want to know what this lady is like, watch an episode of curb your enthusiasm and observe the actress that plays jeff's wife. EXACTLY like that.
The Worst Professor.It was such a waste of time cuz she did NOT teach.Extremely mean&miserable lady.Exams were hard.Why would she even be teaching when she hates the students so much???For those who think she's good cuz she makes you work, WRONG, crappiest teacher ever, i worked hard and got an A cuz I wanted to, not because some nutsy told me to.
I took her class a year ago thanks to her BONDS that is the only thing I'm good at now in finance class. Pay attention to her bond teaching it'll help you later in finance. She might be a bit nutty but she's the best chance at your future classes
