Extremely hard teacher. Getting 90s or even 100s in exam can still possibly end up with a B. The group project is the worst thing you can ever have. Tons of homework and in-class exercise that take hours. Besides, you can't even choose your own seats in the class. However, she is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Full time 3.5+ students choice.

All the ratings on this professor are hogwash. Professor Mitchell is an outstanding teacher who gives 150% to her students. She gives a lot of credit for doing homework and keeping up. She demands excellence. Maybe that's why her ratings are low.

Great professor! I had her for an MBA acc course and she was extremely helpful. Since this is a grad course she expects you to read the chapter before class so you are caught up and prepared to discuss it. She does not give much homework,just 3 exams and a group project. The project is time consuming. if you read the ch and pay attention its fine

This class is so time consuming it's not even funny. Class project is not improving my knowlege on accounting at all. She is a great teacher at teaching the real material and is very open to helping students. Just be prepared to do a lot of bussy work

I loved this teacher. The negative comments on here are way off. Yes there was a lot of work but it helps you to understand what is usually a very tough class for a lot of people. This was my 2nd time taking it & I hated it the first time but she's so helpful, and makes it so clear, she was a great teacher and it ended up being my favorite class.

She is a great professor if you are willing to learn. I strongly recommend attending every class even though it is not mandatory. She does tons of review problems in class and her tests are fairly easy if you study. Overall, very helpful.

Class is not that difficult if you do the hw and study reasonably well for the tests. Tests aren't too hard and the hw is an easy 3/3 points. Quizzes every other day are worth 5 points and aren't too hard. Everyone who says she is way too hard clearly doesn't know what college level really is.

This class is what you make of it. Professor Mitchell gives you every opportunity to succeed. The homework is not worth much but the problems on the test are very similar, and the homework adds up at the end of the semester. She always make herself available to her students and is will to work with anyone who wants to learn.

-Homework takes a while and isn't worth many points--suggest getting Chegg to help with checking answers---tests are just like the homework/practice problems but multiple choice is based off the book, so make sure to read or at least do the guided notes--definitely makes you learn the material, which is really nice for an accounting major

She is an excellent professor, and makes herself very available to students who actually care and want to learn. She is kind of intimidating,and the class is no breeze, but be prepared, go to lectures, actually try to learn and you will be successful in her class. She offers a decent amount of EC so don't beat yourself up if you don't ace the exams

This class was a good class. Kind of a work load. If you dont go to class youll be lost. She is an awesome professor. Always willing to help you out in whatever situation. Makes herself available for you and will never let you leave (unless you want to) until you understand the problem.

Mitchell covered a lot in one semester (about 4 months), but she explains the concepts and transactions concisely and assigns relevant homework that saves you for tests. She's very accommodating, and encourages asking for help. I didn't do much studying, just reviewed problems and key concepts. Her tests are standard, mult choice and problems.

Amazing teacher! Personally, I like accounting; therefore, I didn't find the material too hard, but some do. She's super sweet and she really cares about students. Read the chapter, do the online and written homework. Before tests, do the extra multiple choice, and you should get an A. If you don't understand something, she's always there to help!

This women is the most helpful Professor I have had here at isu. Yes she makes you do a lot of work for little points but it makes you actually understand the material. She goes over everything in class and if you ever need help she will be there. She will know your name out of a whole lecture hall if you are participating. Wish she taught 132!

Expects alot from her students but she is always there for you when you need help. She gives out SO MUCH extra credit. After each test she gives extra credit for the things people got wrong. 14 points she gave out one time. There is homeowork due almost everyday before class, but IT HELPS . I thought I was going to fail but got an A. TAKE HER!!!!!!

ACC 131 with Mitchell was the first of many accounting classes I will take. She does give a lot of homework, but you go over all of it in class the class after it's assigned. Tests are tough, but most accounting tests aren't easy if you're a beginner. Always in her office during hours and always willing to help. GO TO CLASS OR YOU WILL BE LOST!

Great Teacher! She's really good at explaining things and if you don't understand she also explains it really well if you go into her office hours. I highly recommend going into her office hours. She explains things differently and goes into more detail. Overall great teacher!

She is an excellent teacher. There is a lot of course work, but it honestly really helps you grasp the concepts. She has so many resources and offers to much guidance and help to her students. She really cares about her students passing and actually understanding!

She is an excellent professor. She does have a military background, so she expects the best from each student which incudes coming to class everyday and weekly participation. She also assigns a lot of work, but she tells you what to focus on and forces you to read what you'll need to know. I would definitely take her again.

She does a great job of explaining the material by giving you different examples. she is easy to approach and has tons of office hours. She assigns homework from the book that really helps boost your grade if you do it. I highly recommend taking her.

She is always available for office hours and will sit with you as long as you need. She goes over every single homework assignment the day that it is due. There are alot of fill in the blank problems on the tests so you just have to know how to do them. She is so helpful and way better than my first accounting teacher.

Tough subject, but fantastic professor. She has so much experience and uses relevant examples. Always available to help you. She truly cares about if you understand the material. Definitely recommend her.

DO THE EXTRA CREDIT; this is majorly beneficial. She's a pretty solid teacher if you have some previous knowledge on the topic. The tests are weighted heavily but average out with everything else in the end, which was a plus for me. I have a 93% right now which means I have to get an 83% to get an A and a 38% to get a B.(The final is tomorrow)

This class made me decide to major in accounting. She is very straightforward with the subject and truly knows everything to be known about it. She is always available to help and encourages you to participate in class. Lots of at home work but it really makes you learn the subject. Not an easy course but she makes it the best she can

Best professor I've had! This is a tough class and she's a tough grader but if you put in the time and effort you are supposed to you will do fine. Always available for help and cares a lot about her students and being there to help!

Homework, quizzes, and ticket ins are all easy points you need because the exams are long and hard. The final is accumulative and there is no study guides for tests.. Prepare to do a lot of studying for exams outside of class and dedicating many hours to this class. Aslong as you put in the work it should be an easy A/B with her. Participate

She rocks. Accounting rocks. Put in the time and you can get a B. Do the extra practice problems on Cengage Now

Hard hard class. Be prepared for a ton of outside work and long hard tests.

Nice and warm individual. Very easy to get in contact with outside of class. Students basically has to teach themselves. Go through a different chapter every week or two. If you don't get something, she explains it to the point where you will. ALOT of homework! Exam every three chapters.

The absolute best professor I have had at ISU. This class is extremely difficult and I underestimated how much time and effort needs to be put into it. This class is challenging but professor Mitchell was ALWAYS willing to offer extra help and was very kind and worked with me until I understood it. 100% would take again, she is the best!

Lots of Homework but she is a good teacher

Her reggienet page is the greatest/ most organized thing i've seen in my life. Makes you work for your grade, but you really learn the material and feel great.

She assigns a ridiculous amount of homework per chapter, but that forces you to understand the material and be more prepared for the exams. She is very organized and does a good job explaining fundamental accounting concepts. A lot of opportunities for points but still a tough class to get an A in.

She is one of the best professors I've ever had. There are so many grades, and she give a lot of EC. Her Reggienet has so many resources, and she always helps. You have to put in the work, but its better than having a teacher who doesn't care. If you've never taken accounting, take it with her! Her tests are very straightforward, no surprises.

She truly cares about her students and provides several resources for those who are struggling she also gives you a decent amount of extra credit that can be earned by writing a quick paragraph or two and also her test usually have a decent amount of extra credit as well overall shes definitely one of the best professors ISU has to offer.

Professor Mitchell is very knowledgeable and approachable. Shes a good balance of God helps those who helps themselves and southern hospitality. Do all your work and approach her if you need help. The class definitely isnt easy, but as long as you keep on the ball with work, you should be fine. Show up to class too!

As an accounting major, taking accounting 131 with Professor Mitchell was extremely helpful! She gives a lot of work, but it was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Professor Mitchell for accounting majors, but if you aren't an accounting major the work might be overwhelming.

Awesome Teacher! She really cares but the con about it is the fact that we were using an online tool to learn which I believe wasnt helpful the fact that accounting is such a hard topic. I expected to be actually taught and just not by videos online but she is an awesome person overall!! Awesome Teacher! Available for Questions!!

Great professor. Gives lots of homework, but personally, I feel like it benefited my learning a lot. The setup of the course is very organized and she wants to see her students succeed. She's very knowledgeable about accounting and she gave many opportunities for students to receive help, in addition to study guides for each test. Highly recommend.

The setup for this course is that you watch video lectures before class, then come to class to do practice problems & go over hw. The videos and hw can be very time consuming, but if you stay on top of it you are likely to do well in the class. The test are hard, but she provides study guides and holds study sessions before the test.

Best Professor I ever had. Online homework is for completion not accuracy. If you watch the videos and go to class you will get an A. She gives too many resources, and is great at explaining content. She was an accountant for Jimmy Dean which explains her knowledge. In my opinion the best professors are those who worked in that field.

She has online videos for all the material. WATCH THEM and TAKE NOTES. Thats how you do good in this class. If you're lazy don't even bother taking the course at all with any teacher. She is by far the best accounting teacher and you will learn and get an A if you pay attention and do the work. Drops three lowest in class/ online quizzes.

Is this course work? yes! Accounting is complex, it requires a lot of practice and memorization. Is this course difficult? Not at all, plenty of work means there's a lot of points to be earned plus EC. Are tests easy? If you do the work. The tests are based off the homework and videos that Mitchell herself created. TLDR; Lots of hw, easy tests

I'm currently in 131 and it honestly isnt as bad as everyones making it seem. Yes, you do have to teach yourself the content, but you can always go back and rewatch the videos. I may be biased since I'm doing well in the class, but that is the one class I actually enjoy going to.

Liesel is such a friendly professor. Although the class required LOADS of homework that I barely had time to do, I learned so much from the class. I struggled slightly with the class but if you rewatch the videos and go to class to ask questions, youll be fine.

Professor Mitchell is very good at being available and accommodating to students that reach out to her. If you're struggling in the course and talk to her, she gives lots of options for success. The exams are hard, but she basically tells you the exact questions in her study guides. ISU's ACC 131 curriculum is extremely content heavy though.

This class easily has the heaviest workload of any course I've taken so far at ISU, and that adjustment was very difficult for me at the beginning of the semester. However, Professor Mitchell is very kind and understanding, and if you are willing to put in the effort and also attend office hours, a high grade is certainly attainable.

I'm only writing this because I was worried for this class coming in after I saw the poor reviews, but it is not nearly as bad as I expected based off the other reviews on here. I will agree that there is a lot of work compared to some other classes, but from my perspective the homework is actually helpful because it matches the exams perfectly.

Even though this class is a very heavy workload, if you put in the effort you will do well. a lot of grades are completion based and there a ton of grades in the grade book. She offers exam retakes and lots of help. A lot of learning is outside the class room with a lot of practice problems. Mitchell is very kind and wants her students to do well!

this professor is genuinely a good person, she is a little intimidating when first meeting her. I was so scared for this class because of the ratings but honestly, if you stay on top of the homework and know how to do them it shouldn't be a super hard class.

Dr. Mitchell is a very likeable person, but this class is extremely tough. I got a good grade in the class only because I spent about 5-7 hours outside of class going through the materials. Expect 2 quizzes per week (10 mc questions), HW assignments due on Su, Tu, and F at 8PM. Exams are EXACTLY like study guides (memorize it)

She is a great professor who actually wants to help kids but there is so much homework and prep for that class. I was doing accounting 6-7 days a week and only had class 2 days a week. She will help you if she sees you are trying to do well in the class but this is not a blow off class by any means.

I honestly don't know why this professor has such bad reviews, but I loved her. I not good at math but she made accounting 131 so easy to understand and despite the fact that there is a lot of homework, as long as you do it you get points for it. The homework really helps with understanding the material and if you attend class you will not fail.

It was a pleasure taking Acc 131 with Professor Mitchell. Regardless of hard and sometimes confusing way of grading, I not only learned much more than in other courses EVER. But also I actually liked it.

Although the class was hard on assignments, know that it is possible to get an decent grade. She always has office hours available, go to class because even if you don't understand the material going to class helps you understand it better. Most of the exams are based on the journal entries for each chapter. (13 chapters in total)

acc131 will be hard and you'll have a lot of work to do regardless of what professor you take but i like professor mitchell. there is no reading from the textbooks but videos and activities, which i prefer to reading a textbook. attendance isn't mandatory if you understand the videos but they are repetitive to help solidify what you learned

Would recommend if in finance and accounting. A LOT of homework but she forces you to learn it. Is strict with due dates and has long tests but offers a ton of extra credit and partial credit on tests. If you're willing to do the work the class is an easy B at least

I thing professor Mitchell is very smart and has lots of knowledge to give! Yes, I will admit there was plenty of homework to go along with this class, and some of which was repetitive and boring at times. HOWEVER it is so doable if you follow along and do the homework. Mitchell cares about her students!

Honestly, if you're not an Accounting or Finance major I would suggest taking ACC 131 with a different professor. HOWEVER if you are an Accounting or Finance major, you will learn SO much in this class. It is a flipped classroom where you watch videos, do homework and practice before class. Exams are long but includes bonus points. LOTS of homework

You will love or hate her. If you are an accounting major and want to truly learn the material. She is the professor that you want to take. If you are not an accounting major and are just required to take it, then you will hate her because she teaches in a way that is difficult to understand if you do not care for the class.

Exceptional instructor with an even better format of the class. GRL is your best friend, in-class time will be review of the homework. I see a lot of complainers in this forum who think all their classes will be a breeze. This was by far the hardest college class I've taken, but it is extremely enjoyable when the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

She really cares about her students; she will reach out to you to make sure everything is okay with you. There is a lot of homework, and this class may take up most of your time outside class compared to other classes, but you will leave this class having learned something if you do your work. Overall, she's a tough teacher but a great person.

THIS IS NOT A BLOWOFF CLASS! LOTS of hw. HOWEVER, if you're willing to put in the work, you learn a lot. she was kinda scary at first but VERY knowledgeable. if you are an accounting major i suggest taking her class but if it's just a requirement take someone else please. more than half the class dropped understandably. this is not ur 1st choice

She is a good professor and will help you if you let her. Falling behind is easy because there is a lot of work to do. She has office hours USE THEM !!!! Do the little assignments or you will FAIL! She sets it up so you do GRL before class

Tough class. I took this class a while ago, but if I had not taken her class, I would've never changed my major to accounting and done as well in school as I have. Probably one of the best professors I've had if not the best.

This class is a flipped classroom design and is NOT a blowoff course. There's a LOT of homework and material, which can feel overwhelming at times. That said, Mitchell really cares about her students and is very flexible with office hours and offers individualized support. If you're struggling, watch the GRL videos and go see her, she wants to help

There is a lot of homework, and class work. If you do the work, you will succeed. The only people I know that did not do well, also did not put in the work necessary to learn accounting. Mitchell makes it clear that she cares about you, and she cares about learning so use her as a resource if you are struggling.

She's actually a really good professor and I didn't struggle in this class at all. Exams were stressful but not too bad.

Professor Mitchell is amazing. I will say you do have to put in work to know what you are doing but she is the most helpful professor I have ever had. She wants to see you succeed and will encourage you as much as she can. She knows what she's talking about and cares about her students a lot.

The majority of my semester was spent working on this class. Multiple due dates throughout the week with a majority of the learning done outside of class through GRL videos. As long as you watch the videos, show up to class with questions and do the work, you'll pass. Getting an A requires a looot of effort but doable.
