Awesome teacher. Take if you get the chance

Nice prof. She tries to use real world examples which is nice. HW somewhat time consuming. Reading the chapter ahead of time WILL help you. Lots of pop quizzes. Mandatory "lab" on Fridays. Memorize the practice tests and you will do fine.

GREAT teacher, really loves teaching her subject and it shows. VERY nice, VERY helpful, her or the ULAS are literally always there to help. Read chapter before lectures, and you'll do just fine in this class and enjoy it as well. I learned a lot on how manufacturing works, different side/view of accounting. Easy A if you do the work and keep up.

she was a little wacky especially for early in the morning, but the class was not that bad. So much room for earning points thru (pop quizzes) that are easy and attending labs on some fridays. If you partner up w/ someone its not that bad. and hw is graded based on completion only which is nice. tests were semi-hard. I'd recommend her though!

Kathy is a great Accounting teacher. She lays out everything you need to know for her tests, gives plenty of practice tests to make sure you know info. Homework assignments can be tough, but you turn them in for completion grades so you don't have to get the info correct. Take her for Accounting 206!

One of the best accounting professors at BSU! Really explained managerial accounting and did not waste your time with busy work. Homework and labs are based on completion. Exams can be hard but is based on the same format as the practice exams she gives. Go to class, study the practice exams, and you will pass with an A!

Kathy is a great professor. There's a lot of homework in this class, but it's all worth it for learning. I did very well on the tests because I studied hard beforehand. She gives review days before every test and she won't put anything on there you haven't seen. Kathy is probably one of my favorite professors because she's upbeat and you learn.

She is a wonderful prof who truly cares about her students and their education needs. Read the chapters, do homework, and study guides and you will do very well.

She is definitely a bit "whacky" but also is a very nice lady who will bend over backwards to help you out if you show her you are putting in any kind of effort. She is not the most organized, but I think she's still figuring out how she wants class to be run for the greatest benefit to the students, which is what all good profs do. Recommended!

TAKE HER! I also had her for 303, she's GREAT. She's a little whacky, but that's what makes her fun. She TRULY cares about her students, which is hard for me to say about a lot of professors. She really gets to know you, and she wants you to succeed. She may not be the most organized/not always 100% clear, but she cares. Keep up & you'll get an A

Def take her for accounting, she is a great teacher. Overall class was pretty simple. really works well with students. she gives practice tests and they are almost the same as the real test. Super good teacher.

Great professor, she really cares about her students understanding the material. If you go to class and do the in class assignments the tests are easy.

I absolutely loved having Kathy as a professor. You could tell that she knew what she was talking about and had real world experience. She's always more than willing to help and wants you to succeed. Yes, she is a bit scatterbrained, but she's also funny! She'll teach you what you need to know about the accounting cycle. Highly recommended!

Kathy is awesome!! She cares about the students and wants everyone to understand the material. She explains things so they are easy to understand and the structure of her class helps you retain the knowledge for test time.

This professor was fun and energetic. She was very helpful and did not make you feel stupid for asking questions.

She's the best Acct 206 teacher. Do your homework, attend all of the labs, and study for the exam and you'll easily pass. Her test reviews are what usually will appear on the exam, so study hard on those. Very approachable and helpful and takes extra time to help her students understand the material. Very organized and understandable.

Kathy really knows her stuff. This was the first semester she had taught 206 for a few years, so it was a little rough at times (and confusing). Tests are pretty tough, lots of concepts on the first and last tests. Come to class, pay attention, read the book, and you should get a good grade.

I struggled with ACCT205 and was expecting to go into this class and have a super tough time. Kathy made this class easy to understand and follow. She gives practice exams that are similar to the exams so as long as you study and review those you should do well on the tests!! I loved this class and was actually able to understand what was going on

Best Professor ever. easy A

Kathy is amazing. She really cares that you know and understand the material. She is very clear on her expectations and it's very easy to get an A if you put in the effort. This is the first textbook I have ever read from front to back in my college career. You need it! You don't need to go to pass, except on HW and lab days. WOULD RECOMMEND!

Kathy is great. Her lectures are straight to the point, helpful, easy to understand. The only thing is she assigns a lot of little homework tasks (5 points each) that add up. Can get a bit frustrating to do them twice a week. Other than that, she is great and you actually learn things from her.

good teacher show up to class and do the homework and the test will be easy. plus she gives out practice exam questions with solutions that are identical to the tests.

Kathy rocks! Although her classes are W/F in the morning, I would recommend taking her over a night class. She truly cares about her students and hand grades all of our tests. She is always fairly quick to reply to my emails, and wants you to succeed in her class. Her tests can be difficult, but as long as you do the work, you will do great!!

Kathy is a wonderful teacher. She makes sure you understand the material and gives you plenty of opportunities to improve your grade. The tests are extremely hard so you do need to put the work in to get a good grade. Wish she taught more upper division classes because I would take all my accounting classes from her if I could.

One of the best teachers at BSU. Fantastic class setup. Show up to class, do your homework(there's a lot). The tests are kind of tricky if you don't practice doing problems. Save yourself a lot of time and stress and take this class from Kathy. You definitely won't regret it.

I didn't learn anything in Acct 205, so I was pretty concerned about Acct 206. Kathy's lectures are mandatory and she lectures for most of the class time. You do "labs" once a week which apply the lectures to the real world. This class is not easy by any means, but you will learn lots. I had to try but learned so much. Highly recommended professor.

One of my favorite professors! She was really enthusiastic and made it fun! Make sure to stay on top of assignments because there is usually 2 or 3 due every class. There is a lot of work in the class but she gives you plenty of resources to get help on assignments. Just do the homework assignments and go to class and you will pass exams.

Attendance is mandatory because you will have quizzes every beginning of the class. There will be reading homework online every week and lab project most likely every week. It seems a lot but it will help you to understand the class and pass the class easily. Kathy cares about her students a lot and want them to succeed. You will also have TAs.

Was really worried the first few weeks of class this was going to be a hard and overwhelming class but once you get the hang of things it isn't bad at all! There are a total of 5 tests but she provides you with previous tests to study from and lots of other resources that are extremely helpful in knowing exactly what to study for the tests.

I love Kathy. She's not going to make it easy, but she is going to make you learn. She really cares about the students, and you'll leave the class with a solid understanding of accounting. She is tough, she will make you work, but she's also one of the best profs I've had. Take Kathy if you actually want to learn. Don't if you plan to slack off.

Kathy cares about her students performing well and goes above and beyond to help them succeed. The exams are very similar to practice exams and problems in the textbook. If you listen to her advice you should be able to get an A. Her assistant Regan was a really helpful resource and also a total hottie. Befriend you TA it'll help alot.

Kathy is a great professor! If you're going to take managerial accounting, take it with her! She's fair, kind, and if you do the work, you're guaranteed to pass. Take her class, you won't regret it!

Amazing teacher, she helps you if you help yourself. She is very fair. She is hands down the best teacher I've had at Boise State. I took her for accounting 206, and am taking her for accounting 314 in the summer. Take accounting classes from her.

Kathy genuinely cares about the success of her students. She will provide you with the resources you need to understand the concepts and pass including the TA's she has available to you and their wide range of tutoring hours. She has an acceptable amount of homework assigned, which is the core of her lectures and the exams. Do them.

Her lecturing skills and knowledge of accounting are exceptional, however, she expects her students who don't know much about accounting to be working at her class with the same intensity that she currently does in doctorate school. The tests are very dense and timed with not enough time. Average for exams so far have been low 60's, doesn't curve.

Good grader. If your struggling go to tutoring and office hours she wants you to pass. Quiz questions are similar to previous year so look at quiz solution before class. Do all the work and even if u hate it u will still pass

The class itself is a hard class to master, but she provides all the resources you need to pass. There are weekly learnsmart and homework assignments. She does post past tests and practice problems, and the exams are EXACTLY like those. There are plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Make a study group, it will help tremendously.

Great instructor, totally recommend taking accounting with her.

Kathy is one of the best professor I have ever had. There are 4 exams plus the final, but she lets you drop one. There is homework weekly & labs that allow you to apply concepts that you learn to a case study. She goes over homework & problems from the book in class, which really helps. DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS! They helped me get an A on every exam.

Professor Hurley has been my favorite professor at BSU. She explains every assignment very clearly and works hands-on with each student during the Friday morning labs. Tip: Go to the lab as early as possible to get more one-on-one time with her and other TA's. She was an amazing teacher.

Kathy is an awesome teacher. At the beginning of the semester, she seems strict and tough, but she is a really nice lady who wants her students to succeed. There is a decent amount of homework, but it isn't graded for accuracy, only completion. Lots of points available make it easy to pass and she prepares you very well for exams.

Kathy definitely makes you work for your grade. She wants everyone to actually understand the material. Labs aren't too bad if you go the accounting lab & tests follow practice test formats. Put in the time and you'll be fine.

You have to stay on top of this class or you won't pass. Lots of assignments and some labs. It's very demanding, but all of the work that you get will help you to understand the materials for the tests. She wants you to be successful but won't take it easy on you. I recommend going to the tutor hours or Kathy's office if you need help.

You will get out what you put into this class. If you are having trouble, its really easy to get help from the TA's. Kathy is really good in group settings but not very good 1 on 1. There's a lot of homework but it is graded for completion so if you do it you'll do fine. Final is optional if you're happy with your grade. Very structured class

Talk to her after you take the tests! Even if you dont do so great you will more than likely walk away with a few points from corrections! I got back a total of 30 points on all the tests just by going in!

Kathy makes you work hard, but only for your benefit. If you show up to lectures and ask the TA's for help, you will be just fine. She truly cares about her students (she also is a faculty adviser for Beta Alpha Psi) and wants you to succeed. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would recommend her to anyone!

She really cares about students learning the material and not just pass by and forget it down the road. A lot of homework and class REQUIRES effort. It's a easy class if you honestly try, and material is explained great by Kathy! Previous rating don't really show the truth behind the class. If you stay ahead of the class by a week, it is very easy

I have learned so much throughout this course. Always be aware of upcoming assignments and take advantage of the tutors! They are always there to help for homework and lab.

I struggled in ACCT205 and only got an A in it because we went online halfway through, which made me nervous to take kathy's class. But now I know and understand more than I thought I would in an accounting class. I was overwhelmed by this class the first week but once you get in your groove its all good. There are 5 tests and she drops the lowest.

I personally didn't struggle that much with this class. Yes, you have to put in the work, but if you do the homework, practice exams, and study, you should be fine. There is quite a bit of homework, but it's just graded for completion. The practice exams are almost exactly like the exams themselves, so always do those. The TA's are super helpful.

Kathy really cares about her students and the material. This class is hard as hell. For a 3 credit course, expect to spend 1.5x-3x the amount of time/effort. TA's really help, labs help, homework helps. Embrace the content, there's no shortcut. Kathy's instructional videos are a life saver too, walks through most problem types you'll see on tests

If you're reading this and are deciding whether or not to take her class, TAKE IT! I learned so much from this class and changed my major to ACCT. She drops 11 assignments, 1 exam (can be the final), and also had 51 points EC. If you apply yourself and spend the right amount of time studying, you'll be fine. It's not hard, just a lot of work.

This class was incredibly hard. I took this class at another college and failed there and the differences between kathy and the other professor was night and day. There is a ton of homework and it is an incredibly frusturating but kathy knows what she's talking about offers you alot of help to learn the material. Very hard class but a good teacher

I think Kathy gets an overall bad rep but even though her class is tough, it is manageable. She is one of the only profs for this course and while she is a tough one, she is not the worst. I ended up with a pretty solid grade after putting in the effort. Put in a few hours a week and set up a study group to work with and you will pass.

ACCT 206 is so hard and Kathy isn't like the best teacher the whole semester but then at the end, she drops a ton of assignment grades and the lowest test grades. She also offers a lot of extra credit. TAs come in clutch.

If you went to the office hours and did your work on time, you will do fine. Kathy cares about her students but her personality isn't for everyone.

Professor Hurley was awesome! She cares so much about her students and is super good about giving students more points. Super understanding!!!

Honestly Kathy will make you work. She is very good at helping you learn though. She wants you to succeed. As long as you do your work and pay attention you will do fine. She prepares you for the exams and as long as you pay attention and ask questions. Everyone says it's a hard class but she just actually makes you work. Really not a hard class.

Kathy wants to see her students succeed and does provide the right resources for students to thrive. This class is valuable as I learned things I will take with throughout my business career. Show up for class, take notes, complete the homework and you are sure to pass!

The class is very difficult, but Kathy knows her stuff and is a good professor. Show up for class, do the homework, take notes and you will be fine. She drops the lowest exam grade, 2 lowest assignments, and 2 lowest HWs. There is extra credit available. This class gets a lot better after the first 2 months or so.

Professor Hurley gives every opportunity for a good grade in her class. She sets high exceptions but provides extra credit to make up for any "bad day" low grades. She makes herself available during office hours to explain questions one-on-one. She is encouraging--often hand grading work to give students as much credit as possible.

This is a tough class and you will have to work for your grade, but Kathy clearly cares very deeply for her class and her students and she goes out of her way to assist them.

Kathy is truly an incredible professor. If you attend her lectures, complete the homework, and give yourself ample time to prepare for exams, then you will be able to be successful in this course. I definitely plan on taking her classes again- she has been my best professor at Boise State thus far!

She drops 1/5 of the exams. If you miss an exam, due to being sick, she will average it based on your other exams. You also get extra credit for good penmanship.

Although this was most definitely one of the hardest classes I've taken. If you do the work you will be 100% fine. The exams are hard and you MUST study for those but you will do well if you do put the time and effort in. People don't like her class because it's difficult (which it is) but they aren't willing to put the work in to get a good grade

Hard class but super sweet and energetic professor, made a friday 9am fun to be in.

I had Professor Hurley for the second time for 302, and she is a wonderful professor. She was extremely reasonable, and taught the material well.

It's a tough class, but if you put in the work, you'll do well. The professor is energetic and makes it engaging. Unstuck study helped with exam prep alongside the textbook and in-class notes.

She is a great professor very energetic. She loves if you go to office hours to get to know her. Her class is hard and the exams are not easy but she does allow notes with a limit of a page on her exams. And she also offered a lot of extra credit as well as an optional final to replace your lowest test score.

Kathy is a great professor, this class requires effort! She provides all the materials to succeed. Don't just rely on lectures—read the chapters. Lab days are invaluable for understanding the material. Exams can be tough, so review labs and the study guide. Show your work for particle credit. Kathy is willing to meet and the TAs are great.

I enjoyed the accounting class for Kathy, going into the class, it was intimidating since she required handwritten assignments throughout the week, however I believe it led me to succeed in this class, the TAs were useful and the lectures actually helped me learn the subject. Also, Friday labs were a breeze and you could be out of class way early.

Kathy is a typical college professor. She has high expectations and also understands you are human. This class takes a lot of time with homework and studying, but her grading is semi-relaxed. She can be annoying and rude sometimes, but truly wants to see you succeed. Going to her office hours to get help is worth it; she's a lot less scary there.

Kathy is a tough, fair grader. You deal with the TA more than her, but she has good people doing that job. Class is lecture heavy and paying attention in class is a must otherwise you will fall behind. Everything builds on itself. She drops 1 exam,1 HW and 1 other assignment. This makes the cumulative final optional. Easy to ace if you study.

Not a bad class. Labs were super helpful, they are critical for your class grade. My only complaint is the time duration for the homework, estimated 2-3 hours on a homework assignment for a COBE pathway seems a bit much. BIGGEST TIP: utilize your resources before exams. Look at practice problems and posted solutions, that is how you will succeed.
