Incredibly nice teacher who seems interested in what she teaches. She's open to answering any questions, and wants her students to succeed. My biggest complaint is that she doesn't do a good job of interacting with students during lectures - every once in awhile she'll ask for input, but otherwise she's just lecturing. Overall, I recommend her.

Lacey is one of the best accounting teachers you can have. Explains concepts very well, with many of examples. Tests are straight off worksheets she does with you in class. As long as you go to class and study off the sheets and notes you should be able to pass easily A or B.

Professor Bordewick was great, she doesn't like accounting 132 but i wouldn't have known unless she told us. She really likes to know that her students understand, and she splits up tests over two days (the last 2 in class tests). If you have any questions she's always willing to help. Def take her.

One of the best professors I've had at ISU. Took 131 with Thomas & got a C took 132 with Bordewick & got an A. Really wants her students to do well, super helpful & always willing to answer questions. As long as you understand everything on the hand out notes, you'll do fine on tests. Only bad thing is homework is long & not helpful for tests.

I loved having Professor Bordewick for class! Her class isn't a blow off class by any means, but so long as you give good time to study for her exams, they aren't too bad. The homework was pretty long and at some points got confusing, I liked the homework we did in 131 better. But if you met with her she'd help give you hints/answers. TAKE HER!

Bordewick truly respects her students. She has four tests in the semester and the final is cumulative. She is very specific with her notes, which means there are no curveballs on the tests. There is online homework and book work, but it is manageable. Always has office hours and there is an extra credit opportunity. Just go to class and put in time

She's clear with her expectations and is good about asking if anything needs clarification.

The homework is online and can be tricky, but you get three tries on each assignment. I'm mad I didn't get the easy A

I'd never taken an accounting class in my life, but she made me look forward to it. Do your homework and study hard for the exams (which can be tough), and you'll be fine.

Professor Bordewick is a great professor. She cares a lot about her students and clearly understands the material. She gives about 10 points of extra credit throughout the semester for attendance which is a nice touch. This class is definitely one of the harder ones I have taken at ISU, but her positive energy makes coming to class everyday easy.

Definitely the best professor for this class. She gives handouts in class that are exactly like the exams, so if you review those and understand the material you'll do well on exams. Offers some extra credit, mostly for attendance.

She's one of the best professors I've ever had. She makes all the handouts herself and the test and they are similar so you actually are prepared for test. She always answers questions and she gave out extra credit opportunities that were very easy. Just a very very good professor highly recommend.

She's probably the best professor I've ever had. She makes an annoying and boring subject easy to learn through handouts and examples and tells you what will be on tests. Tests make up almost 80% of your grade but they are simple and multiple choice. Worst part is that she uses an expensive online book ($165) for homework.

I liked her in the beginning but she became less clear when she taught her material as time went not and doesn't round grades at all even if you are less then a point away from passing. I would not take her personally again because of these reasons when I was doing really well for a while and once I failed one test, I was done for.

Overall good Professor. Everything we spent time doing in class was on the exam. Exams are pretty easy if you do the in class examples and the extra credit. Also using the study mode on the homework chapters is a plus. Exams practically make ur grade.

One of the best professors I've had so far. She's very organized and outlines expectations clearly. She also does guided notes that are a life saver when studying for exams.

Toward the beginning of the semester with her I thought she was an alright professor. As time went on I was lacking when it came to tests simply because we wouldn't go over the information throughly. A one line comment she makes in class can end up as a question on the test, while what we practice in class could end up being unused almost entirely.

People say this course is easier than Acc131, but it isn't for me. A lot more confusing formulas and word problems. Boredwick is a fine teacher but the lecuters for the third exam were incredibly painful to get through. Attendance isn't required but you definitely would not pass if you don't show up to class.

BEST accounting professor. Guided notes are so clear. Exams are super simple and multiple-choice. Does a review before with almost identical test questions. Homework can be long but is always more complicated than the tests so don't stress if it's confusing. Drops lowest homework. Lots of extra credit. SO MUCH better than 131. MUST GO TO CLASS.

Genuinely the best accounting teacher. She gives guided notes that make studying easy, and note taking extremely efficient. She gives out 1 extra credit point for every chapter if you do the work and come into class. I struggled in 131, and barely passed. When I took this class it came so easy to me it made me excited for other accounting courses.

I struggled so much in ACC 131 but taking this class with she was probably the best decision I have ever made at ISU. I hesitated going up to her and asking for help until the end of the year when I saw my grade was struggling. Super clear with grading and gave examples of what will be on tests. The notes you take in class are your study guides!!!

After taking 131 I can say this class was so much better, Now you need to show up to every lecture and your grade is based off 4 exams and some homework so keep in mind you are graded by very little. Great Professor overall.

passing the whole semester. did not pass the course cause of the final. she could clearly see I knew what I was doing in the class and made little mistakes that she wouldn't give any partial credit for. She also caught a student cheating right next to me and did not fail him, but would not help me do extra work to boost my grade. worked against me

Loved this class! The professor is great, would highly recommend taking Lacey for ACC 132. For an accounting class it is not difficult if you go to class and put in the work to study for exams.

Bordewick's ACC 132 class is a breeze compared to ACC 131. The course is well organized with expectations and material are communicated clearly. There are extra credit opportunities with each chapter. Attendance is taken but does not impact the grade. The textbook and Connect premium are required which the homework is completed through.
