Dr. Bostick is simply one of the best teachers in the college of business she is always available to help. Her Tests are extremely difficult. The best way to prepare is to read each chapter at least three times practice the financial statements and to do all the problems in the back of the book.

Bostick worked for 15 years as an auditor, so she knows her stuff. Reading is mandatory to get a decent grade. Attending class helps. She uses a lot of personal examples that don't necessarily help your understanding of the topics studied. Use her office hours and let her explain the items you don't get. Exams are very difficult. You must study.

She was one of the worst professors I've taken here and I have had some pretty awful profs. There's not enough characters here to describe everything wrong with how she teaches, grades, and creates quizzes/tests. This prof is a no go. I LOVED accounting before I had met this professor, now I and most classmates have switched majors. AVOID

Professor Bostick is the hardest professor Ive taken at UT. Pulled my hair out during every exam and there is lots of assignments. Personal issues affect her ability to teach. Highly recommend taking another professor. She was the only one available to me and I wish I waited to take the class.

I would rather take accounting from someone who doesn't speak English instead of having her try to teach this class to me. She thought I was majoring in accounting and knew exactly what to do even after I sat in office hours and she just showed me the test I failed. She wouldn't let me take a test because I missed the class because I was in the ER.

Prof. Bostick is such a nice lady she really is... but if you're not an accounting major I don't recommend taking this. I spent the entire class completely confused. She goes very fast and if you don't understand from the beginning you won't understand ANYTHING. If you're taking this just for pre-req find a different teacher

The absolute worst teacher ever. She is all over the place and anytime someone was confused or asked for help, she would lecture us about not being prepared rather than just explaining the concept over. Her grading system makes zero sense. I went to office hours and she did nothing to help. AVOID HER AT COSTS!!

Easily worst professor I've had yet. If you have to take ACC 320 DO NOT take this professor. She wastes class time talking about her personal life and expects the class to follow along with it. She also gets lost within her own lectures and simply doesn't know how to explain problems.

Dr. Bostick is the worst professor I have ever had. She is always talking about her personal life, and if someone doesn't understand the topic she gets upset and goes on ranting about how no one is prepared. Her lectures go extremely fast, and she expects everyone to know everything about accounting. The tests are very hard so make sure you study.

Expects you to read the chapter and watch a video and completely understand a chapter, she is not aware that not everyone learns the same. She is also not very helpful if you are sick with a doctors note and can not go to class. You will not pass the exam if you miss more than 2 chapters and she will not help you learn it.

This course is one of the more difficult accounting classes but Dr. Bostick does a great job at explaining the topics. I highly recommend going to class as she goes over tons of example problems that are very similar to her tests. The class takes a lot of time and work but she does a great job to prepare you.

She was more teacher oriented than professor oriented. Meaning, how she ran the class. Pay attention in class and definitely complete the first three/four smart books because they are staples for the rest of the semester. Take notes as she is lecturing it makes more sense, trust me.

This is one of the first accounting major classes you take and Dr. Bostick does a great job to prepare you and made me love my major. This class is not for slackers, so you must read and UNDERSTAND the material. Assignments are easy, but the tests are very hard with CPA exam MCQ included. Only complaint is tests make up 70% of the grading scale.
