Good teacher, Very clear, Test were very fair
Laurie is one of the nicest teachers in the business department. Everything you do is straight forward and if you have any problems she'll be the first to help. Very smart as well. Definitely take her for whatever you can.
One of the best professors in the business department. Helps you to understand everything in the book, and will give one on one help.
She is a wicked cool professor, she will do the best she can to help you understand the material and is funny at the same time. Definitely take her for any of your business classes.
Very cool. Relates to students well. Best in department. Knows her stuff and cares.
Laurie is an awesome teacher. Really gets to know her students, and is extremely helpful.
She's really helpful and fun. An awesome professor, and a very fair grader.

LAURIE'S NUMBER ON PRIORITY IS HER STUDENTS. SHE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU AND TRULY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS DOING WELL IN SCHOOL. SHE KNOWS EVERYONE BY NAME THAT TAKES HER CLASS AND IS ALWAYS APPROACHABLE AND FRIENDLY. HER CLASSES TEACH YOU A LOT. SHE REQUIRES YOU TO WORK BUT WILL HELP YOU IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE. ABSOLUTELY TAKE HER!
I am dying to take this professor, right now she is my advisor and let me tell you, the first time i met with her she made me feel like we knew each other for years... She is very personable and seems incredibly down to earth, take her if you can!
Nice lady. really gets to know her students. lol dont talk in class when she's talkin no matter how quiet u think u r. She really makes sure u understand everything before she moves on. talked about a lot of random stuff like golfing and wearing a man's suit to take a stand for sumthin.. kinda fun class
Very unselfish, unlike her Dennis Lindblom colleague. Very hard, but worth it. Learns just as much as Dennis, but without the attitude. Loves her students. Cares about their learning. Did extremely well. Gave me great advice. I wish everyone could take her; she cares so much. Loved her to death!!!! Allowed to take as much time as needed on exams.A6
Fantastic and sensible. A sensational performer. Goes through chapter fast. Incredible speed and will not move on until you understand it. Loved every minute of class. Wow!!!!
A fan against arrognace. She goes out of her way to give advice even if it is wrong or incorrect. Very kind and knows her accounting. A depressed school; everyone there is like a soap opera. Go somewhere else. But her class take to transfer elsewhere. Great class. Aqua
awesome. extremely helpful, helped me out when i was having problems with my advisor.
This was an on-line course. I really liked the content, but she buried the class with homework. She was fair in her grading.
I have taken 3 classes with Laurie now, one was online. She loves to help her students and seems like she really enjoys teaching. Take her for any class possible, probably the best teacher in the dept.
She's fair and knows her stuff!
Online course. She is very demanding with readings and homework papers. This is not a class that you can expect to slip by. If you keep up, you can really get a lot out of this course.
I Have taken 2 courses with her and she is a great teacher. IF you get the homework done and just listen to her there is no way you wont pass. She is a great teacher i'd recommend you take as many classes as you can with her.
JUST ONE WORD - SUPER -
Knows her stuff and is willing to help if you don't understand. the material Take her for as many classes if you can. Excellent professor!!
Laurie is a great professor / advisor. Always willing to help out her students. If you do your homework and come to class you will do great!
AMAZING teacher. Gives homework every class, but it doesnt take that long, and its really helpful for tests. Make sure to go to class, she gives "quizzes" almost every day, but doesnt actually grade them, just checks them off to give you attendance credit. Take as many classes with her as you can.
Laurie is by far one of the best professors I have had... she is extremely helpful with everything, and you can ask her a question or meet with her anytime. Grading is fair and the work load is fair as well. Take her whenever you can!!!
Great teacher, very helpful and knows what she is talking about. Keeps you busy but never gives overwhelming amounts of work, just enough to assure a good grade. Be sure to go to class for her "quizzes" sometimes does three in a day. Not real quiz though, just a way of given you more credit for being in there
Great Professor - Laurie is fair and knows how to teach. Make sure you attend class everyday!!
Laurie is a great person and terrific professor. She is extremely helpful and knows what she is talking about. I hated accounting before I had her class, now I actually like it. She is so fair and understanding. Take her for as many classes as you can.
Im a freshman at wsc i wish that i could take all of my classes with her.Great Professors.
Honestly the best professor ever. Wish I could take every class with her.She makes class fun and interesting. She is very clear and helpful.I recommend you Take her any chance you get.
she is awesome. easy to talk to, down to earth, laidback
AWESOME professor. she does so good explaining everything and she takes time going over it and makes sure everyone understands. i wish i could have her for all of my accounting classes
Great teacher! Goes over each chapter with clear examples until all students understands. Allows a note card on one or two tests. Loooves talking about food and can get side tract at times but always keeps it interesting.
One of the best professors i have had this year...she knows how to make learning interesting which keeps me motivated and working hard
Solid teacher. She gives lots of practice before each test. The final was a pretty easy group presentation. Good class. I would take her again.
I would take her again in a heart beat. She is probably one of the best teachers in the business department. She makes you interested in the topic and goes over everything with great detail. Also gets to know her students.
A very good teacher to take for accounting. Very thorough with the material and extremely helpful. Took her for both accounting 1 and 2.
Accounting and sports are the main topics in class. Although the sports may throw her offtrack for a little, shes an amazing, well taught teacher. She is the only reason I actually like accounting now. Take her, you wont regret it
Gave lots of homework but it really helped with learning the material. She didn't collect it. Short power point presentation which was easy.
Professor Dahlin is excellent. I had her for Fundamentals of Acct II in Spring '09. She has a real passion for accounting and the business department at WSU. She is a fair grader and the exams were fair as well. We had a mini powerpoint project about a company of our choosing that was fun.
By far one of the best teachers I have ever had! Take her over an of the other accounting teachers! Prof Dahlin is super and explains everything very well!
Easily the best teacher I have ever had here at WSU. Accounting is absolutely awful but she helps you understand and makes it very simple and has fun is an extremely cool person at the same time. I highly recommend her!
She is AMAZING!!! Best Prof. at WSU!!! I wish there were more like her. I had been taking most courses that are taught by her, this is how good she is.
I really enjoyed her class. She teaches accounting the best. Her class is very attendance oriented, dont be late or she'll single you out. Also, 3 missed classes and you automatically fail. She cares about her students but shows alot of favoritism. Overall, the best accounting class to take.
Fantastic Professor! She knows her material and makes what could be a boring class very interesting and fun. She is by far the best professor in the Business Department. She treats all students fairly and is a great person. You have to go to class!!!
This is my favorite teacher at WSU. She really cares about the success of every individual who walks in the door. I am happy I can call her a friend and a professor. I have taken three classes with her, and she is hands down the best teacher at WSU. She makes accounting enjoyable to come to class. I will miss her most when I leave WSU.
Took Dr. Dahlin for acct.1 very helpful, very clear writing notes, broke the process down and made the class easy to understand. Acct.2 was a bit more difficult with the subject being more rigid and the notes not always being clear. Always ask for clarification even if you think you understand it, she will explain it again. Overall great prof.
Dr. Dahlin is very funny, makes class go by quick. loves to get to know her students on a personal level. Tests are so crystal clear, we go over the info over and over. You miss 3 classes, you fail the cours. textbook is not so great/unclear.
Overall great instructor and class. Highly recommend.
She is one of the best teachers I have had so far. She knows what shes talking about and makes the class fun so you don't get bored. She genuinely cares about her students success. As long as you do your work you'll do great.
DAHLIN IS THE BEST TEACHER AT WORCESTER STATE. She makes class extremely interesting and she actually helps you understand the material as opposed to just reading facts and writing them on the board. I would DEFINITELY recommend her because she's the bomb diggity.
One of the very BEST professors in college very very HELPFUL and helped me a lot in my online course. BEST PROFESSOR EVER
She is the best. Extremely helpful and knows her stuff. Go to class!!!
Took her for an online class – she is very organized, helpful, and quick to respond to questions. Great class. I highly recommend.
Laurie is awesome! She tells you exactly what she expects so there are no surprises! She grades homework the day you pass it in, so you always know how your doing in the class.She truly loves the material and wants you to understand and love it too! She is a huge sports fan and tries to keep class as entertaining as possible!
I really liked the Pro. Dahlin and her BA200 on-line class. She will give you everything ahead of time. So I was able to visit Asia and TX for a few weeks while I took this class. Also the book was very interesting to read and the discussion made the subjects more interesting. I highly recommend her class.
Dahlin is the most kind-hearted professor I've ever had. Not only am I learning so much, but this is the only class I try my absolute hardest not to skip.
Laurie is by far the best professor in the entire school. She is very helpful and so clear with her lessons, the syllabus, homework- everything! She's the reason I decided to be a Business major, and I make it a point to take any class she teaches here.
She is the best professor I have ever had! She is great at explaining the material and as long as you pay attention in her class (which is actually fun) you will do great on the exams.
She is one of the best business professors at WSU; she truly cares about each student and the progress they make throughout the course. Her expectations are clear. There are 3 tests, a lot of (easy) pop quizzes, and some short homework assignments. She is absolutely hysterical and makes the lectures fly by. I would definitely recommend her.
Took her for accounting 1. She does a very good job keeping the class awake and interested in the material being presented. Around 30 easy pop quizzes, weekly homework, 3 tests (2 chapters each), and 6 chapter outlines. When she says the outlines are due no exceptions, she means no exceptions. Book need for outlines and homework (mostly unchecked)
Dahlin is a very good professor. She is very clear on what she expects and will make you work for it. Tests a a little difficult but she give you everything you need to know. She will randomly call on you in class so be ready to answer questions.
Dahlin is my favorite professor at this University. She does not test you on anything that isn't talked about in class and she is extremely fair. She doesn't like students being late or absent unless they have a legitimate reason. If you attend class, pay close attention, and ask questions if you don't understand, you'll pass with flying colors.
Great teacher. Easy to communicate with. On the same page as her students. Would recommend and take her again. Fair grader.
Sincerely does NOT care if you learn from her or not. its her way or the highway. She gives grades with no response as to why you received that grade and doesn't respond to emails asking what to do to make it better next time (online class). Such a shame because I was very interested in this class.
Fair and upfront with all assignments. You know when things are due and can work at your own speed. Responds to emails quickly.
I had Professor Laurie for BA200 online. This was my first online class and I was very nervous. I had many questions and she responded so quickly to my emails. I was upset when I saw the post left by someone saying she didn't respond to emails. That is not truthful. Look at all the great posts here. Professor Laurie cares about students.
Laurie is an amazing advisor and professor. Took 4 of her classes. She truly cares about students. She posts grades for online classes the night stuff is due. Inclass she gets assignments back the next day. Syllabus is very clear. Answers emails very quick. I'm not a fan of accounting, but Laurie made it easy to understand. She's the best.
Online classes are great. Everything explained in the syllabus. Perfect style for those of us working full time and trying to compete a degree. Professor Dahlin is so helpful and she responds to emails immediately. You can tell she truly cares about students. Overall the class was interesting and the Professor was terrific. Great experience.
Honestly, this woman is a HORRIBLE online professor. Lists assignments that are due that week but puts them in random order so don't ever expect them to be in the order they're due... like what? Not friendly so don't bother asking questions or for help on an assignment. I'll be doing all I can to avoid having to take her again.
Online class is very well organized. The course Syllabus contains all the semester's assignments. I was able to do the cases and disc boards weeks ahead. Laurie is helpful and very responsive to questions and emails. She's a very fair grader. SUPER NICE person and GREAT professor. Overall terrific online class. Learned a lot. Highly recommend!
The comments about Laurie being a bad professor shock me. She is the best business professor I've had at this school. She is the reason I changed to an accounting concentration! It's truly sad that students write poor reviews about a professor when they don't put forth any effort. Definitely take her for any accounting course!
It was an online class so it could have gone either way. She posts a clear syllabus that tells you how to do things and what you'll be graded on. It's clear what is due when. She grades things very quickly and grades fairly. She would email explaining why you lost points on an assignment (if you did). I'm sure she is just as good as a lecture prof.
Great professor, keeps the class interested and really cares if you learn. Very clear with what she wants and tests are clear. Easy A if you go to class and pay attention. I'd take her again. Doesn't like tardiness or being late.
She was very rude, and strict. I asked her for help in understanding the class so that I could make sure to make a good grade. If she doesn't like your question, she won't respond back. I emailed her apologizing for if my questions were bothersome, and she came back with an attitude I've never seen a teacher give before. Never taking her again.
Excellent. Upfront with all assignments. Great feedback. Clear directions. If you don't do well, it's totally your fault. Well organized online class!!
Third online class with Laurie. Super nice and helpful. Responds to emails very quickly. Easy to follow class with clear instructions. Everything is in the syllabus and a weekly announcement is posted with assignments. You have to do the work and meet deadlines. If you do, youll earn a good grade.
My first online class and it was pretty challenging. None the less, I rose to the occasion! Her syllabus does need some additional refining so that it is current. My complaint, she isn't flexible when mistakes are made. She needs to understand that not all students operate the same way. I was a little disappointed by her lack of communication.
Great class if you work full time. All assignments provided up front. No surprises. You can plan your entire semester of work. A weekly reminder is sent for homework. Very helpful - Professor sent me the first case when my book didnt arrive on time. Excellent class.
By far the best business professor at WSU! She really does outline all her expectations on her syllabus ! I took her for managerial accounting as well and all the "examples" she put on the board for class notes are the same questions you get on the exams but just different numbers. Any accounting or management classes TAKE DAHLIN!
Second class taking with her and overall love her as professor. She is funny keeps you engaged. Keeps the class interesting. You definitely learn. She is a tough but in a good way. I think if you just do the work, you will make out great in the class. honestly. I am taking her in the fall again for a different course.
Dr. Dahlin is an extremely attentive and well organized professor. I took Management/Corporate Management with her. She is attentive, caring and makes the course material easy to understand, and very interesting. I would highly recommend anyone to take a class with Dr. Dahlin. If you pay attention, and do the coursework you will do very well
One of the best professors I've had at WSU, I've taken Financial Accounting 1 and 2 with her. Her lectures are very easy to follow and clear. Homework isn't collected and graded, just reviewed in class. Usually gives out one or two practice problems for homework which is manageable & helpful. 2-3 Tests. 1 Project. Easy to get in contact with.
If you need to take accounting, take it with her. She is an amazing professor who cares a lot about her students and their success. Takes the time during lectures to ask if you understand the material. She also knows how to make a rather boring subject fun.
Syllabus has everything you need to know: due dates, type of work, etc. Discussion Boards are fairly easy and thought provoking. Lots of cases (12 total) from the textbook, so lots of papers to write (usually about 3 pages long). Final project was pretty involved. Prof was always communicating with students on Blackboard. Much appreciated.
Professor Dahlin has been my favorite professor by far. This is the 3rd class that I am taking with her.
Literally the most amazing professor Ive ever had. Made managerial accounting a breeze. So clear on what she expects and her lectures perfectly match up with her quizzes/tests. Never have done so well in a class and I wish I could take every class with her. Also clearly cares about her students success. TAKE HER!!!
It IS an easy A type of class. You just have to do a couple wack book questions about business. Post a couple sentences about some softball question and make 2 fluff responses to others. Very easy grader the few points you lose seem completely asinine. It's easy but this kind of phoning it in for a paycheck ultimate hurts the value of our degrees.
Prof Dahlin was simply AMAZING! She truly cares about students' success and shows it. Expectations are set early and she offers feedback. She is probably the most accessible Professor I have had, I would love to have her again.
My favorite teacher at woo state. She clearly cares about her students and wants them to enjoy learning about the subject. Answers emails right away and is very clear on what will be on the quizzes and exams. 11/10 recommend taking any classes she is teaching!!!
Overall a great human being, but her teaching is not the best if you take her for two day class. She goes over material but does not go over everything that will show up on the quiz or tests. Her test and quiz can be difficult. Just do the homework, do your best on quiz's and tests and you should be good. Plus do good on the homework.
A very annoying grader.
Really tough grader. Has a bunch of little rules that trip you up. Don't rely on the make up exam she offers at the end. Really unforgiving and she'll take the most recent grade regardless of which is higher. Good teacher, but strict with her rules and grading. Excel will be optional the whole semester but required for the final. Read all the rules
Professor Dahlin is a tough but fair grader. Her classes have strict rules, but engaging with the material and using helpful tools like Unstuck AI can make it a breeze. Definitely take any of her classes if you get the chance.
worst grader in the maybe in the world
She's okay, theirs one class a week so its hard to get homework/quizzes/tests done without struggling on them little bit plus some weeks she just cancels class for the week but still assigns homework or quizzes or tests and just expects you to understand how to do them. If your familiar with this class id say take it but don't if you wanna learn.
