Prof. Waggoner is a high-low professor. Her homework assignments are ridiculously easy (able to check your answers before submitting them), but her open-note tests are the opposite. She teaches the content as if the students are already proficient in Accounting. Take very good notes and utilize the Cheat Sheets in the online textbook.

I was confused from the very first day. She teaches ACCT 2110 like it's 2120 and we already know everything. Her teaching style is all over the place, you won't know what she's talking about half the time. You'll definitely pass the class because she goes over the homework in class, but you won't learn the material unless you teach it to yourself.

Lots of homework

Shes very nice and all of the exams except the final were open note but they still were pretty difficult. My only problem was the software was extremely confusing and there was so much homework

Lots of homework
