Amazing teacher that will do a great job of walking you through everyone you learn in the book to make sure you know the material. Participation will help your grade and showing up really helps. There is an average amount of homework but you receive tons of extra credit for doing it. Quizzes can be difficult but doing all work helps a ton. AWESOME.

Professor Martinez is a great accounting professor! During class, she will go through examples of problems that will be on the HW. She knows how to teach accounting in a way that makes it interesting. I highly recommend taking her if you are a business major. As long as you do the work, you'll get a good grade. Also, GO TO TUTORING.

I took Professor Martinez for Acct 101&102. I received an A in both clases. Her lectures are amazing and she really cares about her students She will go out of her way to help you. There is a lot of homework but by completing it you receive extra credit points and you learn alot for the quizzes. Im glad I chose her and would take her again!

Ms. Martinez expects you to read the chapter and know what the lecture is already about. But she does no lectures of that chapter either. O'Rien program she uses is poor system to use. She is the only Accounting professor to use this program that I know.

Be "present in body and in spirit" for this class! Absences will cost you points, but come prepared or the info may be overwhelming. Lectures include engaging Q&A and sample problems you'll see on exams. Take advantage of tutoring, lab, and any extra credit you'll probably need; don't fall behind. Professor M is enthusiastic, funny, and super nice!

So much extra credit that its impossible to fail. I passed with a 110% even though I failed my final (68/100). A lot of people use chegg study (15$ a month) to pass the class. The course itself is EASY. If youre not gonna use chegg. Make sure you read the chapters beforehand. Easy class, a lot of extra credit, and a easy profesor. You cant FAIL!

If there is another chance to take another subject aside from accounting classes, I would love to take her again. Just do your homework, even extra credit assignments, to earn an A in her class. Don't also forget to participate on the board; she will help you anyway if you don't get it. I love her sense of humor and enthusiasm as she she teaches.

She has been a great professor for me over the last 2 semester for both Acct 101 and 102. Her lectures are super clear and she gives extra credit on everything. Its very difficult to fail her class as long as you keep up with the assignments. The hw and adaptive can be kinda overwhelming at first but you can get the hang of it.

Mrs. Martinez is one of the most caring professors at Southwestern. She understands the current and adapted. It was her first semester teaching online and beside some tech things, youd think shes been teaching online for a while. I urge you to attend her live lectures and participate. This semester was tough, but I got through with her teaching!

I don't recommend this unfair instructor because she's incompetent to teach Accounting. She relies on extra credits to be given to students who learn nothing except to pass the class. It's just a waste of time to take a class with her. Avoid her by all means.

Great professor, really cares about students and caters to their needs especially in these times. Zoom classes are not mandatory. Tutors are available. Lots of homework and practice but easy tests. Slack off in a few assignments and you won't pass, happened to me. Very easy class to follow, but easy to fall behind in too. Recommended overall!

Professor Martinez is a very decent professor to say the least. Her many points of extra credit make it easy to pass the class with an A. I was late on a few assignments but managed to pass thanks to her extra credit assignments. Take advantage of that. Overall she actually tries to help her students and puts out many references. Would recommend.

Professor Martinez is one of the most caring professors you will find. The course consisted of a lecture video, adaptive practice, and the HW. The lecture video and adaptive practice were not bad, however, while the HW was hard at times, she provides video links and tutoring services to help you out. Overall, I recommenced taking her course!

She is AMAZING! Her teaching style is so helpful and really allows young learn the material in the most optimal way. She presents the class so well organized that just being able to find information within canvas will ensure you an A. On top of that she allows you to really look at real world examples of where her class and business can take you.

There was a lot of hw and reading. You have to buy an access code for like 70$ to do the hw. She does send out a lot of emails reminding you what is due. Fairly flexible, just have good communication with her and you'll be fine.

Professor Martinez class was not so bad, you do a quiz every Thursday that's due Friday. Homework due every Tuesday and adaptive reading ( answer questions about the chapter) due every Wednesday's. She gives out video lectures every week. Sometimes there are days where you do discussions. You have time to submit things. No exams, only the final.

Professor Sanabria was amazing! She cares for her students both in and out of class, either by making them involved or keeping them updated with all things on campus. The content for ACCT102 is difficult but she makes all her assignments doable if you plan accordingly. Great professor!

Great teacher, very responsive, and would send out reminders of assignment due dates. Quizzes were timed, but time allotted was enough to complete with out feeling pleasured. She also allows you to drop a quiz, which could be either your lowest score, or you can skip a quiz.
