good notes but difficult exams

She is horrible, avoid her at all costs!!!!!
She is amazing, and if you do the homework you will ger an A. She rocks.
Her exams are extremely unfairly difficult, the homework assignments are useless
Hard teacher!! Every class at lightening speed, barely time to breath. Very challenging tests. Avoid her if possible, especially if you are not a true accounting student (she prefers real accounting students)
Horrible teacher. Homework assignments are useless. Homework is nothing like her tests. Tests are with a high difficultly level. Half the class drops the class. Nice teacher and helpful but tests are out of this world!!!!!!
Her exams are extremely hard. The course workload is like 3:1 ratio. Taking her course is like taking 3 classes
Good teacher period.
Challenging, but if you do the work and the homework you are prepared for tests..i have had 5 classes with her (all A's)...go to class, do your work and you will be very prepared for next level.
Awesome instructor, she prepares you for the acct designation. If you do the assignments and study, you will get a good grade. Her tests are hard, but you will never forget the stuff you learned. Fair marker.
explains material very well
She is great! Her tests are hard, but fair! Study and you'll get an A! Really prepares you for other courses in accounting.
hard teacher, tests are tough... but damn does she have a killer body
No Comments
Awesome person. Tests are difficult, but gives part marks. Do the work, study and you will do good. She expects people to work not just sit and listen to lecture.
If you survive the first two mid-terms,then you have it made. If not, see you next semester!
oh no!!!, she is the toughest instructor in the whole world..i don't understand why she makes tests so difficult..les time for her midterms..like 1.50 mints, but actually u can't finish them in 5 hrs if u have time.work assignmnt in 2days rush-rush!!!
Extremely hard tests. Make sure you attend all classes and do the assignments.
She is very professional in her approach and students often complain that her tests are hard but i think she is trying to get us ready for the today's competitive world of business so that we grasp out concepts well. She is an excellent teacher!
Very hard tests, have to put in a lot of time and effort to pass this course.
Unfair, and alot of homework.
OH MAN SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER ONLY ONETHING SHE NEEDS TO IMPROVED THAT IS HER EXAMS COMMON GIVE SOME MORE TIME TO FINISH IT. OH MAN SHE IS REAL HOT.
BEST INSTRUCTOR.... if you really want to learn somthing. Her tests are like hell tho. If you are getting A's on assignments, it means nothing! If you think you will get 90% on an exam.. expect 50%. Learn to think FAST! (really good instructer tho)
Very little input from class, it's notes, notes, notes. But she is good. Just write fast, that's all. Sharp dresser. Haven't faced one of her tests yet, but hoping for the best. Definitely hot. Best-dressed instructor I have ever seen.
awesome teacher jus make shure u attend all her classes and do the hw, if u can do that than ull ace tha midterms, but if u dont ull fail cuz her midterms r hard. but if u do tha hw ull be fyne, recommended only if ur willing to do tha work
AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS
Looked forward to coming to class. Energizing! Always gave us tools we would use in real life. I disagree with the peope that call her a hard prof cuz she's not - you just have to go to class and listen and do your work (NOT UNLIKE ANY OTHER CLASS)
Well if u are a student who want to drop your GPA than i would highly recommand this prof. she gives so much hw. and hard examz even if u do your hw and study for test extra hard than you will get 60% maybe cuz her exams are out of no where....The choice
I won't recommond her to even my wrost enemy. She is an awful teacher i have ever seen..i have done my hw, studies for the test...but its always out of nowhere. Don't know where she get all the stuff tat i can't find in the text..wana drop ur GPA go ahead
excellent organized teacher
Good notes, but impossible tests. She doesn't give good help when you ask for it either. Very hard to become successful with her as your teacher. I recommend that you avoid taking a class with her a teacher!
she is very personable, loves to help and is always available. Tests can be difficult but she always lets you know what to expect. Does lots of examples in class and has good notes to follow. Work hard and you will do well
She is a good teacher, but she acts like you should know all this stuff already. Her favorite line is “you should know how to do this stuff backward, sideways, and upside-down.” Or “this is a 3rd year class expect to do 10 hours of homework”
awesome!! very organized
Super boring lectures, takes a long time to go over things, most things get lost in translation. Tests are EXTREMLY HARD!! not really there for help, if u want to succed in this class you'll have to put in TONS of extra hours to make things clear, b.c she doesnt really make them too clear.
Awesome class. Teaches in a way that you can understand. Her tests are hard but she is awesome. Makes sure everyone understands.
either you'll hate her or you'll love her... theres no in between. if you wanna learn and earn your GPA, then take her classes. but if you jus wanna chill & take it easy and hope to pull off "C" you will fail. she knows how to teach but expects students to pay attention and do h/w. exams r fair.
Laurette is a terrible teacher, who seems to get pleasure out of seeing her students do poorly. I would never ever recommend her to anyone, unless they want to have a miserable semester and lower their GPA. Laurette should learn how to teach from John Western who actually cares how his students!
The exams are difficult but if you study and do all the work you can pass the course no problem. If your a lazy person I suggest you get out of the class and if your not..no worries!
awsome instructor!! if u wanna learn, take her classes!!
Explains things really well. You will do good if you do your homework and study for term tests. Take her.
Hard..Hard...Hard. She makes your life miserable if you're not and accounting genius. Hardest class I've taken in my life.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE teacher..never ever take her, her exams are sooo hard..nothing like the examples she gives us in class, she'll give u easy examples to work wit in class n it'll seem like u know ur stuff but in the exam the questions are nothing like the asst or the homework..they exams are extremely hard and she doesnt give u enough time2 finsih
DO NOT TAKE HER!!!...she doesnt even help u when u go to her during her office hours..she tells u to go and look at ur notes...(its like if i can understand by looking at my notes y would i come2u?)the exams r HARD, she doesnt give u enough time to finish.
outstanding instructor... if you put in the time and effort you can succeed in her classes
arguably one of the best accounting profs kwantlen has to offer. you would be lucky to get into her class cuz it is very competitive... see for yourself!
funny because she does read slides and if u ask her a question outside of her printouts(by the way she finds with ready answers from the website for instructors) she wont know it and gives impossible exams... to show off that she is a genius- in fact she knows****...avoid!!! avoid!! and save ur money
AMAZING prof. She teaches a hard classes, and teaches it well. If you MUST take this class, take her. Work your butt off. Great prof!!
Anyone who passes her class will know the material. You must work hard and keep up on the work load. All of her exams are very difficult and there is a high failure rate. Excellent for those of you who want to be an accountant
She is the best accounting teacher ever. Explains stuff very clearly. although her exams are hard and tricky but if u pay attention in class and study hard, u will get good grades.Highly recommended.

Hot Hot Hot and a very good teacher
She really is incredibly good at her job. Every other student I've talked to agrees.
Extremley nice teacher. Always willing to help out and is very flexible when comes to office hours. Mid terms are quit difficult so be prepared. Attend every class because she makes things a lot more clearer and helpful with her notes then to follow it through the textbook. I would reccommend her to a dedicated hard working student.
Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Very friendly and helpful.
Didn't like it, and i don't think many people did in the 2005 class
For cost acct some people will just never understand, and for some it will become second nature. If you called Laurette a poor teacher, it's either because a) you didn't study, b) it's just not a class meant for you. The tests ARE like the homework. It's the same level of thinking, just worded differently. She's the best teacher I've ever had.
Cost accounting is not really an easy subject, but Laurette does an excellent job teaching the course with minimal textbook use via her class notes and methodology. Her exams are long, and have a couple curveball questions beyond homework difficulty, but overall, a "B" is easily achievable.
She did lots of eg. in class. Fair terms and marks. Very helpful.
First 3 chapters are ok. She is quite difficult. first exam averag was 38% - at the end of semester only 10 people left - 20 others dropped it. Horrondeous teaching. The exam Q are 10x harder then class work. Do not take. Waste of money
her exams are extremely hard,the class average was around 55, half of the students end up dropping it, save your money and take someone else
Her first exam is extremely hard. The average was 50%, and half of the students were disapperaed after the first exam, but second exam is easier than first. HOWEVER, she is really great prof. I know her exams are very tough, but that makes you study. And she is always willing to help you at anytime. Take her if you really want to succed in ACCT.
Laurette has to be theee best teacher! Exam's are kinda difficult, but study and ask questions, and you will do great!
awesome teacher!! test are hard but it makes you want to learn. extremely helpful and explains the material well..i would take her again!
wicked teacher, really knows her stuff, got A+ in her class, love her way of teacher, notes and homework are the same as tests, so as long as you study and understand, you'll do good
Worst prof ever. She is exceptionally rude to students and very biased. Tests are hard and filled with many typos. Do not EVER take this prof if you are a weak math student or don't enjoy math because she will eat you alive. She chooses to demoralize students and make fun of them in front of their peers. She also enjoys power trips. DON'T TAKE
Her tests are reworded questions done in class. Study those, and you will get A+ guaranteed. She can be one of the most annoying people on earth if she wants to be, but she is also very helpful if you need it.

Worst teacher I had this semester. Hard marker. She goes SUPER fast and if you don't understand a concept, you're screwed. Avoid taking her if you can.
She is extremely rude. She will tell you you are going to get a horrible mark for the start. She is degrading and often makes fun of students that don't understand in class
awesome teacher would take her again. knows what she is talking about. u have to put in the work. she replies to emails and is willing to help you out if she sees that you are trying and fair marker. work hard and you will do fine
avoid at all cost.. favors students that are doing well. extremely rude and will not make an effort to help you if your not up to speed on a topic.
Cost Accounting is extremely hard, but Laurette is an awesome prof. Exams are hard, but she will do anything to help you on the homework
I found her to be an OK teacher. I agree with the others here that she has her moments where she is incredibly rude. Intentionally or not, I don't know. If she thinks you should just know something, then you ask her a question, it seems like she's annoyed. We are adults not highschool kids, we deserve respect and I dont think she gave us that.
She is so bloody annoying! This lady is just too damn perky. And to perky about cost accounting! If your not a morning person, avoid her! She will make you want to poke your own eyes out!
She is the best accounting teacher I've ever had. She knows her stuff and she will do anything she can to help you out. She covers everything in class that will be on the exam. Definitely recommend her to anyone!
Oh terrible teacher,you will fail, unless you have taken the course before. I made a mistake of listening to the comments on this board. I don't think profs should be allowed to make comments on here. she might be good at 100 level but terrible at 300 level. Take her if you want to see your GPA go down!
I think she is a great prof. Do your work and be on task and she will like you. If you are not a good student and are not willing to work hard then you wont be her favourite student and it goes like that for every profs
Mrs. Korman is an excellent teacher. I never had any problem with her regrading her attitude. Her exams are hard but not too hard and she teaches extremely well, would recommend her.
SHES THE BEST TEACHER AT KWANTLEN! best thing about her is that shes extremely helpful! But in order to get a good grade in her class be prepared to work hard. Do you homework and you?ll do great
Lorette really makes you think in this class. Keep up with the work and fully understand it. It's not an easy class, when the average sits at 54%. There's a lot of material that you won't find in her notes or in the textbook, so pay attention and don't miss a class! She goes really fast. The final is like the hard question in assignments.
I have a high gpa and never thought i would fail until I let laurette. She had such a bad attitude that it made me loose any interest in the course. I took managerial again with barb katz & aced it! Barb really cares and goes out of her way by having a lot of time for questions during class, holding many office hours, and emailing students
I love Laurette! She is tough but fair! She expects a lot from you but if you do your homework you will do well. She is an EXCELLENT teacher and gives you plenty of examples, both from the text and outside of the text. I wish I could have taken her for 1210 but she wasn't teaching it. I recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning.
she is an awesome proff, but not a good human being. I think becoming the dean has put that attitude in her. Allthough she is a very helpful proff, but just her attitude makes me want to stay away from her.
HARD PROF and she doesn't give us the answers to the sample questions. We have to come on our own time. Why do we have to suffer because the 2 hr class became a 1.5 hour class. NOT FAIR! She should post them online or soemthing
NEVER TAKE LAURETTE IN ANY CLASS EITHER MANY STUDENTS DROPPED THE COURSE FROM 3320 MID OF OCTOBER. SHE HAS ATTITUDE PROBLEM. SOME TIME SHE USES ABUSIVE WORDS-AHOLE ETC DON'T GET FOOLED BY FEW POSITIVE RESPONSES BECAUSE AFTER LOSING $400 DOLLAR YOU WILL REALIZE YOUR MISTAKE. PROBABLY TAKE COURSE FROM SOME OTHER INSTITUTION THAN LAURETTE KORMAN
"SOME TIME SHE USES ABUSIVE WORDS" Got an issue, here's a tissue. You're pathetic. She's an alright teacher. Defiantly don't take her because other people said that she hurt their feelings. Just another accounting class...
I think I understand how it could get frustrating in the 3000 level but from the stand point of a first year she is decently clear. All that is required is a bit of listening and she tells you exactly what you should study. I can also see where the attitude problem could arise. just go to class listen and avoid talking to her unless you need help
Just had her for acct 1110. Notes were useful but you cannot miss a class or you'll fall behind. Midterms practically require you to speed write to finish on time. Final exam on the other hand is easy due to the 3 hour time limit. Do the homework, but also prepare to spend a bit of time on both wiley and the book to prepare for midterms.
Laurette was an awesome teacher. Her notes are clear and very helpful. You MUST read the chapter before class! Go to class or else you will fall behind. Her exams were tough but she says that right from the beginning. She is a dedicated teacher and if you put in the time you will get the grade you deserve.
Amazing teacher! Notes are perfect they match the homework which matches the test. Easy class just make sure you attend do the online homework and the homework she assigns. Test are just like the questions for homework but they do take time to solve can?t complain there that?s accounting for you.
DO NOT take any of Laurette's classes. Shes extremely rude, completely disconnected with her students, & doesn't understand the basic premise of teaching. Shes uninviting to student q's and I've seen her verbally attack my peers. The class itself wont be easier w/ another teacher but in terms of classroom environment, Laurette's is the worst.
As long as you attend the classes and do the homework, which is directly from the in class examples, you?ll get a solid 80-90% plus. The exams are exactly like the homework assignments
She is an extremly nice prof and has very good notes and lectures. her teaching methods are amazing. however her exams are quite difficult theirefore it is important to do hw and pay attention in her class
Best teacher at Kwantlen, hands down. She makes the complex simple and easy to understand. She teaches you how to think and solve problems. Her weekly homework assignments were very challenging, but they thoroughly prepared you for exams. If you work hard you will do well. BUT, you have to be ready to work.
she is such a nice proff, she explains everything clearly, lots of in class questions + homework which she goes over. Always willing to help during office hours. Exams arent easy but all out of her notes and in class examples! by far the best accounting proff so far. Gave a great base for me to start in accounting :)
Nice proff i like the way she gives print out notes do ur homework and memorize the formulaes ull be good
i an above average instructor and usually do well even when it's a bad instructor, but she's just different level. she is overrated. her classes are her writing on the overhead and students drooling and rushing to write what she writes.. exams were really tough for an already tough course. don't take her course unless ur really smart
Had her during Spring 2013. She is very helpful and her exams are not very difficult although she requires homework to be completed on accounting green coloured paper which you get from Staples.. Would recommend to beginner accounting courses
She over complicated the entire class, making the simplest material difficult to understand. I found her exams very hard but they had some similarity to the H.W
Laurette is one of the rudest instructors I have ever come across. She is very snarky and unapproachable. It's difficult to ask questions in class without getting a sarcastic remark back that makes you feel dumb. She's called students rude names in front of the whole class before. I suggest not taking her....she's scary.
She is a terrible prof the exams have stuff that she didn't teach the class and also she ends the exam when she feels like it and doesn't give students the entire class.
Test is the tough she not care student only herself when she feel she want to leave she end exam and go she will not explain very much i suggest to you dont take this class. I do the everyday two hours review only way i learn cus she not show how do
If you pay attention in class and do your homework, you'll get a good grade. Her tests are based on the hand-in and online assignments she gives you. I don't read the lessons before class, but still understands what she teaches. That's how clear she is. She is always willing to help you during office hours or through email. The best prof!
amazing prof! this was my first accounting class and she was very clear with her lectures. hands out notes at the beginning of class and goes over them thoroughly and provides several examples. weekly homework can be a bit much but her tests are based on homework questions so its worth it to do them! Fair marker and always there to help!
She is an amazing prof. Shes very clear at going through her notes providing examples in the notes and from the textbook. The midterms & tests are based on the practise questions she gives us as an review really useful! Dont miss any classes her hmk assignments are not that difficult based on the notes! Need the textbook and the code as well !
good teacher, hard marker and bad tests if you don't study.
Korman is the best teacher I have ever met. I learn so much from her. Not just the accounting knowledge, but also the characteristics a CPA should have. Precise, organized, logical. She prepare for the class very well, predo the homeworks and exercises question before class and clearly explain them. she is really amazing!!!
Notes with in class examples proved to be very helpful for studying for tests. Loved the class, she is very clear and provides good understanding.
an excellent teacher...
She's clear with what she expects from you on assignment and tests. Go over her in-class examples and homework questions before exams, and you'll get a good mark. It's true though that she can be rude to some students.
Good prof. There's a lot in the course but this course requires at least 4 hours a week of studying. She explains everything well and assignments a lot of hw. Classes are long. Expect to know everything that she teaches. Focus more on her hw assignments and exercises.
She is overrated. She always smile but rude. Her classes are copying from her overhead and no time to think anything. She'll give you 2 minutes to read solutions from transparency. Don't expect any answer keys from her even after submitted your assignments. Exams were tough with some language games. Avoid her unless ur really smart.
She gives clear, easy to understand notes. Don't skip this class or it will be hard for you to catch up. She gives part marks on tests. Do your homework and the exam review questions and you will be fine! You will get the same questions from HW on the tests. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you don't understand something.
Professor Korman is an excellent accounting instructor. She explains concepts thoroughly and in-depth, which is why attendance is a must. Her tests are no cakewalk, but if you study hard you should get no less than a B. I strongly recommend this professor if you want to actually learn accounting.
Laurette is a very organized professor - she has notes for every chapter that she prints and hands out in class, she balances time spent lecuring and time spent on in-class exercises perfectly and if you do all the homework she assigns, you will pass her tests. Don't skip class though. I would definitely take her again.
2 midterms worth 20% each and final worth 50%, HW is 10%. Shes a great teacher her notes are so helpful, her tests are mainly based on the problems assigned for hw and the review questions given, so if you do those youll ace her tests. Shes really nice and understanding but never be late or else you dont get the notes
She is the best accounting professor everyone should have. Her lectures and notes are so helpful. the only quick advice would be not to miss any class and you can do well in this class. all the best!
Shes a really good teacher.
Laurette really goes out of her way to make students succeed. She gives thorough notes and goes through examples with you in class. Exams are EXACTLY like the homework questions she gives. All you need for success in this course is practice practice practice!
Her lectures are A1. She's crystal clear throughout all her teachings and doesn't ramble off into unnecessary topics . Do your homework and you'll do great. Highly recommend her!
Its accounting, it isnt easy. Shes very thorough in what she teaches. Her exams and final were very similar to her in class exercises and hwk she assigns. Hwk that she assigned was only around 2-4 questions per chapter. She give an extra 4% if you do all hwk assignments throughout the semester. Recommend if you are trying to UNDERSTAND MGMT acct!!
she is an excellent prof, if u do bad then its on you, if u do the homework and practice the problems she gives u then u should get an excellent mark, her midterms and finals have no surprises at all its exactly similar to the assignments and practice questions she gives, loved her!
she expects her students to already know management acct and gets angry if u don't understand it, she is an excellent professor for her intro class but would NOT recommend for 3320 if u actually wanna learn!
As long as you attend class and listen to her lectures, you will do fine, just make sure to always do the homework and some extra problems on your own time. Her tests are not too difficult if you actually study. Shes a great prof, one of the best for accounting.
Everyone says shes very hard, but she is actually very caring. She wants you to succeed in class and she does show this. Her lectures are very important, she gives a lot of good information about the material, and her notes are very helpful. Textbook is only used for examples and homework questions. Very strict marker, but her exam hw package helps
Laurette is one of the best! she's very good at teaching and she gives you notes which she goes through during class. Her homeworks are a combination of wiley and hand in which makes it so much easier to learn and get done than spending hours on Wiley. Recommend her 1000% failed twice and she's the only reason I passed the third time !
Great professor, midterms are based off of the homework, really helpful when in need of help
Beautiful teaching style. Learn so much from this class! Prof Korman loves it when her students understand and she wants to see everyone suceed. Her exams are tricky, but if you work hard enough its not a very hard course. I look forward to taking her advanced accounting classes.
Notes are a little hard to follow but, practice the questions and read the textbook. Fair grader and like many profs, expects you to put in the effort to receive a good grade. Usually generous if she sees you're taking the time to learn. She's terrific for offering outside help after class which I took advantage of and you all should too!
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! I've never failed an accounting class before until I took one with Laurette. Extremely hard marker and has confusing and complicated midterms. She will also be rude if you don't understand something. The type of prof that makes you wants to change majors.
Laurette is a very smart and professional professor. She is very helpful and accessible. Lectures are very fast and you are not able to clearly understand. Lots of time is required to succeed in this course, as other accounting courses. Exams are written by her so the questions are quite different than the textbook. She gave candy at halloween.
Would give her a 0 in rating if possible. Worst professor at Kwantlen. Does not help students when they have questions and is very rude when answering questions.
Do not take this professor if you want to pass any accounting class. Says she is willing to help and always "ask, ask, ask" , but she is rude when students don't understand what she is saying the first time.
Laurette explains and teaches the concepts well, but the lectures are fast. Her midterms are similar to her exercises and homework. There is a lot of effort required to do good in this course, meaning hours of studying. I would take her again and recommend her if you really want to understand cost accounting
Laurette is a good professor. She replies to any questions that are sent by email as quick as she can. Some of the concepts taught in class can be difficult to grasp. If you are late for class you do not get the chapter notes until the break, so it is advised to arrive on time and not to miss a class.
Great teacher but gives a lot of homework. Tests are pretty hard. Lots of review needed if you want to pass.
I would not recommend this teacher, she is not a good prof, she does not explain the concept very well, she keeps writing exercices. Think twice before taking this prof. She does not care that you pass or fail, she will tell you that in your face, she is rude.
Laurette is okay. All hand-in work must be done on columnar paper with excellent formatting, which is a useful skill to learn. Most things mentioned in class are on the exam -- ESPECIALLY if she raises her voice. Fosters a quiet class environment, often leaving students afraid to ask questions. And make sure to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
This is probably the worst professor I've ever. Avoid taking her at all costs, she is not a good teacher and does not care about students passing. She does not know how to teach.
She makes the most unnecessary accounting course to be failed. She's indirectly lazy to not post any solution and grade, so you have to go for them in her office(if you are self-learner and work part-time, forget about her to avoid all costs). The most depressing course that I have ever taken for 4 years at KPU. Ridiculous as neck. I agree reviews
Laurette makes you work for it! She will test you on your actual understanding of the material instead of laying it out in an easy format. Very kind and open person, available for help at office hours, but will not give out answer keys, so you have to go in and see her. I do not know if I would take her again, as it was tough, but I did well.
Old school & sensitive professor that you want to avoid forever ever. She's the most ridiculous accounting professor to indirectly give you her words depending on her quick judgement. If there is another prof to teach the same, I would avoid her. She always depends on her research regards student's learning style without checking it out updatedly
She is rude, and disrespectful. She makes subtle disrespectful jokes towards the people who are struggling. She cannot teach as everything is from notes and does not fully cover material needed to fully grasp concepts. You will end up teaching yourself in this classroom. Avoid her at all costs.
Pointless to attend classes
This prof is the worst! This class has a high retake rate so dont waste your time/money on her. Go with someone like Sepand Jazzy (AMAZING). She doesnt give answers, you have to go to her office in your own time for those with limitations. Like people work and have a full course load... what the heck Laurette. Were not only taking your class.
I failed the introductory course as I felt like I was teaching myself the class, Im not even ac accounting student! Never realized the extent of how bad Laurette was until I took the class again with an AMAZING prof who made things easier to understand. Laurette also made you feel bad if you wanted to go to office hours for extra help.
THE best teacher that has ever taught me accounting. She explains everything so well to the point that you will really understand it. Asking questions never hurt and she answers them in detail. She replies quickly too. She made me love Accounting even at its stressful topics.
Class consists of copying notes off of the projector. Homework is all done through the textbook rather then wileyplus. If you miss class you will not get the notes and she does not give solutions for practice problems. Due to the lack of actual teaching In class you will find yourself having to self teach for most of the semester.
One of the worst teachers I've had so far. She has uploaded several hours of videos for each week that are horribly filmed with a cell phone, and have nothing to do with the course matter. I figured out everything in this course by myself without any help from the teacher. When you ask for help, she can not explain or help at all. DO NOT CHOOSE HER
She uses an asynchronous format for us to learn which isn't bad considering how we can learn at our own pace, however if you are not motivated, then you will not do well in this class. She is an amazing teacher and the way she teaches the material is very clear and concise. There are many lectures however if you have a schedule, you will be fine.
Good teacher, just very unforgiving. Wileyplus crapped out on me and I missed out on a test worth 10% of my grade and she gave zero chance for me to earn any of those marks, even when I showed proof from wileyplus support that there was an error. Very unprofessional, would never take a course with her again.
I took her online as no other prof was available. There's 3 midterms and a final but she doesn't post the solutions to the textbook questions so there's no proper way to practice. She'll tell you practice on mylab but the midterm questions don't compare. If you get the textbook solutions to practice somehow (bc she won't post them) then you b fine
I took her at Spring 2020 before the pandemic. She gives very thorough notes when it comes to key concepts, which is really nice!
Took her online class which was an asynchronous format, best for people who like to study at their own pace. Make sure to keep up with weekly pearson assignments as they are worth a chunk of your grade. Three "midterms" with 3 chapters tested on each; fairly similar to pearson homework! Final was a bit tough but again, similar to homework assigns
This teacher doesn't care about her students or if they learn. She will not help you if you ask. Be prepared to teach yourself this course. Extremely long homework you will spend hours doing this more than any other class. Do not take this teacher.
Doesn't help students, nor does she want too. Will make excuses to not do her job. Will not give you answers or teach, she only assigns homework and expects you to somehow figure it out. I'm now in the next level accounting course and struggling, because I learned literally nothing from this horrendous teacher.
Very disappointing teacher who is not up to university standards. I have seen comments saying do not take class, I agree. Bad bad bad!
good professor attend classes study and you will pass easily
Took ACCT 3320 with professor Korman. Two midterms, one final and weekly homework assignments were everything that was marked. Beware that the midterms are worth 20% each and the final is worth 50%.
strict of rules,patterns,formats
The lectures are top-notch. The Pearson assignments are good practice for the exams. The Final is 50% and is cumulative.
she is the worst professor I ever took. she is very mean. She doesn't care about her students and does not put effort to solve the problem of their students. Even she does not have humanity. She does not care if a student is sick or if she can help a student, even though she speaks very rudely. Will never take her again.
Teaching methods are ok. Not very helpful, very tough grader, hw & exercises in class are super easy compared to the exams, which are very tough. Says class is mandatory but is really not tbh. Kind of rude. Says you can ask for help but mocks you for asking help & say she can't teach entire lesson again. No formulas allowed. Don't take her.
Professor Korman gives amazing lectures so the material is crystal clear. study hard go through her notes and exercise you will do pretty good in the class!
Very easy class. Don't fall for the comments written here. Just do whatever she teaches in class.
She goes through lecture notes pretty quickly but if you go over the notes after class and do the homework you'll get a good understanding of the material. Reading the textbook before lecture if you can will help drastically. There is hand in and online homework. So there's ALOT to do. She's a decent grader but can be quite stern.
One of the best professors across all of KPU. She posts prep sheets and answer keys to help students prepare for their exam, along with brief exercises from the textbook. Would highly recommend if you hate readings, she has notes for each chapter
If you wanna live a peaceful life, i would rather suggest to drop this course and save yourself from this awful professor. She does not help you with the homework which we have to hand in during our class and the hw is nothing compared to what she puts in the exam. It's really difficult to pass this course if you have a professor like korman.
She's great, as long as you practice in class and homework questions along with some extra questions that she recommend, you'll do great. No surprises on exams.
I don't even know where to start. Her notes, straight useless. Miss class, might as well dropout. Lots of homework every week. Only good thing bout her is her exams are straight forward. What you see is what you get. Do not take her class unless you don't procrastinate and can study by yourself. If your on here for a easy prof and she isn't
Best accounting professor at KPU. lectures are clear and detailed, and challenging homework and notes make it easy to grasp the course. Her teaching style is amazing. Review tests before midterms and finals are of great use. Grades you for the effort you actually put in!
Absolutely loved her class. One of the best accounting teachers at KPU.
The professor's teaching style requires engagement, but with practice and tools like unstuckstudy, the class is manageable. Exams can be tricky, so stay on top of the Pearson assignments.
I took a class of hers 20 years ago. I'm only here because my daughter asked me about the worst teacher i ever had. At the time she was not there to teach. Every class we copied notes from the overhead. All questions were answered with, “it's in the notes.” She killed lots of hours that could have been replaced by a photocopier.
Her grading criteria is very good, she explains very well. if you put in efforts, you will see good results.
I know accounting is challenging, but I didn't like the professor either. Her lectures were heavy, and I had to study on my own. The homework was much tougher than what was taught in class, and she didn't provide solutions online. While she discussed them in class, it was inconvenient.
