Horrible Teacher..Put students down..Expected you to learn on your own

Horrible teacher, goes too quickly through the course material and won't help.

Smart, but doesn't know how to teach anything! Also looks like a pelican!

I HATE her! She goes on and on about organizations and doesn't teach at all. She needs to understand that her class is not the only one a student has. Avoid her at all costs, however if you are an accounting major you're probably not going to be able to.

is the WORST accounting teacher I have had at marshall...she does not explain anything to you and when you ask her a question she laughs and makes smart alleck comments

I went into this class with a positive attitude, thinking I could get along with her. She is impossible to get along with. She makes you feel like an idiot when you ask questions. You won't learna a thing. I want to know how she still has her job b/c of her poor attitude.

Avoid her at all cost. She does not know how to teach, or answer questions. She thinks she's smart, but she is an idiot. Her urgly face scares me in class too. She should be fired as an accounting teacher in my opinion.

Terrible!You have to work SO hard in this class to even remotely understand anything she is talking about.Got a B but did not learn anything cuz she does not teach-AT ALL!I had SO MUCH hw I never had time for reading let alone other classes!!WAY TOO MUCH HW!Be prepared to eat-sleep-breath ACC!

This professor seems to only care about herself and not her students. She is not helpful if you confront her and is a little demeaning

This woman is completely insane & she scares me. I would never ever take her again. *Note to accounting majors--you can take independent study classes @ LSU that will count @ Marshall for 312, 412, & advanced--you can bypass her. It's $230/class. VERY EASY. Go to is.lsu.edu to check it out.*

This woman is satan.

I had for 311, 312, Adv, and Gov. There are not enough words to describe the misery. If you had not found religion before taking her, you will while taking her... just pray you'll pass. Asking questions doesn't help... neither does arguing with her. She is very intelligent... it's too bad she doesn't want to share her knowledge with you. Good luck!

She's totally helpless!!!!!!!!If you have her courses, God bless you, the only thing is helpful is learning by yourself. And if you ask your classmates for help, like discussing the assignments, that is cheating!!!!!In her class, all people have to fight by their own, and she is making it like that no one is your friend!!!!!

You know how some professors you can either stay after class or go to their office if you need help? DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

Do not take her!! She makes it very clear that she believes she is the smartest person on the campus and snubs you if you ask questions or are confused. You can take her 312 and 414 classes at other campuses online like morehead state. She will say that these classes don't transfer over, but the actually do.

DO NOT TAKE HER, AVOID HER. She is the worst professor I have ever taken a class with. And this was a graduate level course! She is not clear, DOES NOT help, and do not care if you get a bad or good grade. Long lectures, even if she finished earlier, she will find something to keep you. You should try hard not to take with her. She is helpless.

I switched my major right before my senior year because of this class. She makes you hate your life, and accounting. It's extremely unreasonable and don't even think about asking her for help. If you want to seriously pursue accounting, don't attend Marshall University. Her husband is the department chair so she's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Never have I had a professor that I despise more than Marie. I loved Accounting before I had her class but she completely ruined it for me and many others. She is not helpful and does not care about her students at all! AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. you've been warned...

She is literally the most difficult professor I have ever had. She talks to her students like they're dumb. You have to buy her note packet, then she just reads it to you in class. Quizzes are given every class and there's only 2 tests which make up half your grade. if you can avoid her, do so.

Great teacher for CPA exam

I sat through the first class and decided against taking her. I bypassed her and took Intermediate 2 & 3 at Morehead online. I took an elective there also. I plan on taking ACC 414 there as well also.

Look, this class is an acid test for the CPA exam. If you can't survive this you won't pass the CPA exam. She is minimally involved but at least she lectures which is more than some in the department. Her tests are very hard and you have to read and memorize the entire chapter. It's a sink or swim class. Good luck, you're going to need it.

Disgraces the teaching profession & a dis-service to students. There are better ways to teach accounting, hard-working students deserve better. Required research too much for her; she puts teaching, students & lesson planning on back burner. Classic example of a teacher not being prepared for her classes - such a disappointment.

Dr. Archambault is without a doubt the worse professor I have ever had, and is just not a nice person in general. When students ask a question, instead of helping the students learn, she chooses to belittle students. She should have a job where she does not have to interact with people since she does not know basic manners or how to treat people.

TERRIBLE. This class was one of my worst experiences. She does not explain anything and expects you to know everything. The HW is never anything like what we have gone over but you are still expected to be able to do it. The text book is also no help. GOOOOD LUCK

Too much HW. Heavy preparation for tests. You have to spend more than 20 hours on one project, which only occupy 60/1040. What you have learned from the textbook and in class is not enough to solve problem in tests because all the contents of test are from AICPA.

She is the worst professor Ive ever had a Marshall. She is extremely unhelpful, she tries to make you feel stupid any chance she gets, and just isnt a goodbye teacher in general. This is very much a teach yourself class, that will take up the a lot of your time. I would say avoid her at all costs, but I think it is inevitable.

SHE. IS. HORRIBLE.

ACC 414 is the hardest I have took so far. So much homework due every single class. The exams are way harder than the practice exams given in class. Marie does not explain materials clearly during lectures, but if you will go to her office she will help you. She is definitely a tough grader. Great opportunities to get extra credits.

Terrible teacher. assigns so much homework that it is overkill. NEVER TAKE HER. She has no regard for students taking other classes with the workloads in other classes as well. terrible terrible teacher

In college you will find that most professors are collaborative, not Marie, she is confrontational. I stood outside her office once for almost an hour to ask a question and she sat in her chair and stared at me without answering. I finished a M.S. in Accounting and J.D. afterward and looking back, she is the worst instructor I have ever had.

This class is hands down the worst class I have ever taken. Think again if you enjoy your free time or do well in your other courses. Your time will be spent doing 50 assignments, half of which are not graded. You will not know your grade in the course the whole semster and the significant assignments won't be graded until grades a due.

If you want to make a concept like ethics difficult then take her. Otherwise, I would avoid this class at all costs. The book is hard to read. You'll mostly be teaching yourself through all the mass amounts of homework she assigns. She doesn't add much in lectures other than your participation. Knowing her political idealogy for exams may help.

Marie is not a nice professor. she does not care to pass anyone. Please avoid this professor.

I wish I had waited a year to take her replacement. Worst class ever - can't believe I made it out. Be grateful she's retiring!

Class would be hard but its easy with chatgpt. Everyone in our class used ai, it works great, just dont get caught

She teaches an accounting capstone that revolves around the importance of Ethics. Quite funny when you realize her husband was the interim dean while I took her class. I have been in the work force for a few years now and can tell you that I have used absolutely zero of what I learned in her class. Do not take this class until she is gone.

One of those professors who has never left the academic bubble (never actually had a career job in the field). Thinks doing tons of pointless homework prepares you for a job (youll never use anything from this class ever). Claims there's no wrong answers, but will take off points for something she doesn't agree with or understand.
