man she is soo hard to understand and has this weird homework policy. All she does is make us read the whole chapter at home and then next class she asks questions from the back of the book as her explainations!!...not recommended!!!
She is the worst teacher I have ever had at Wayne. She is mean and makes the students feel stupid when they ask questions. You have to learn everything on your own. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
Probably the worst, most disrespectful teacher I've had. She's very sarcastic, and thinks her mean comments are funny. Her tests are very hard, and treats this class as if it were an advanced one. Do NOT take her.
The worst teacher ever....not only is she hard, but she doesnt bother to give a lecture....she expexts u to come to class knowing everything....by just reading the chapter at home...then she ask u questions in class and makes u look stupid and insults u..i regret taking her class..when her class gets a low average score....she blames it on students
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! She is the WORST EVER! Hard tests, boring class, she will make you feel DUMB. I wouldn't recomend her to my worst enemies. Just take this class at a community college if you can and transfer it, because she might be the only one teaching it.
I agree with everyone's comments. Welden rolls her eyes at students. She insults you in class. I'm sure she knows her accounting well, but teaching just isn't her strong spot.After the first exam, students told her how hard the test was for them. She responded with, "Ha, it only took me 15 minutes to take." Of course, you're a frickin accountant!
She is probably the worst professor at Wayne State. She doesent teach you anything, you have to read the book and figure it out on your own. Then when its time for class she insults you and makes you look and feel stupid. DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH HER.
She is by far the WORST professor I have EVER had. I HOPE the Dean looks at everyone's grades and FIRES her! She is just plain mean and worst of all highly DISRESPECTFUl to her students! She manages to always find a way to make you feel stupid and embarrass you in front of the class! A fair warning: DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, YOU WILL REGRET IT!
She is a really hard teacher, but this is a really hard subject. If you don't want to Invest time into understanding this class....a lot of time, your not going to do well.
This idiot is not helpful at all. class is very hard. should fire her ass!! Wayne State should pay the price for hiring someone like this.
I don't really like to complain about teachers cuz I know they're just doing their job BUT WELDEN IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD AT WAYNE IN FOUR YEARS. I am not kidding--look at the reviews. She expects you to know all the material beforehand and is very unapproachable. I asked her if I'm passing and she said 'you'll see' WTF?! DON'T DO IT!!!
I'm lost for words. Through my whole WSU experience, I've never met a person who feels as if they can talk to people any way they want and get away with it. She tries her best 2 make u feel as low as possible. Her nasty attitude makes u not want to go to class. Anyone who thinks she was nice or the class was enjoyable, needs their ass kicked!Avoid!
Welden was, hands down, the rudest teacher I have ever had. I am amazed that she is teaching at Wayne State and not only teaching one section but all of the sections for 3020 in w'06. Her class is definitely passable, you just have to put up with a snotty attitude and rude remarks for a semester. Good Luck!

I can't believe I had the same teacher as you all. She was very nice to me and willing to go over material with me that I didn't hear in class. I think she is wonderful:P

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
oh my god!! this lady has some problem people. she talks to her students using words like "shit" if u ask her anything she would rather answer you, but wat u dint expect or u dint ask..she is some way easy cos he exams r from the homework she tells us to do. enjoy plp. n best of luck.
No Comments
DO NOT TAKE HER (THATS ALL I GOT TO SAY). YOU'RE SCREWED IF YOU TOOK HER... I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO AVOID TAKING HER CLASS. SHE GOT SOME PROBLEM. SHE ONLY FAVORS PEOPLE SHE LIKES, WHICH IS ONLY 1 OR 2 PEOPLE OUT OF WHOLE CLASS.
ALRIGHT, IF YOU READ ALL THESE POSTS, YOU HAVE THE GENERAL IDEA OF HOW BAD SHE REALLY IS. AS A TEACHER, SHE ROYALLY SUCKS, AS A PERSON, SHE IS JUST PLAIN MEAN, BUT CAN BE NICE AT TIMES. HOWEVER KISSIN' HER ASS DOES HELP YOUR GRADE. GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU POOR SOULS WHO GET STUCK WITH HER. I WILL NEVER EVER TAKE ANOTHER ACCOUNTING CLASS WITH HER!
No Comments
This class is a lot of work, and if u take her for this class expect to be called on for answers. She expects a lot out of her students and wants them to come to class prepared knowing the chapters, so be prepared...

some student try to kick her out. they wrong, she best makes me work and see how accountingwork in business and life. be ready to work.she expect yu to do homework. she expect yu to partisipate evry day. she hard and fair. she alsways try to help and nice to work with. yu want to lern take her. yu want easy course don take her.
great teacher. makes it real for me more than any other. never had professor work so hard to make sure i understood. if you take her you have to work hard but worth it. good examples good real life situations fair test lots and lots of homework when yu get done you know the stuff or you dont get out
WOW.I'm shocked at the responses.So you're saying a teacher s/n't expect you to read the ch. before class??? She also helps during the exams,holds study sessions and if you ASK her,will meet with you outside of class. I agree that the ACC is challenging, but say that.Y bash the teacher? She is HUMAN & u guy s/b ashamed.
the course requires a ton of work, however, if you keep up and focus, you can pass the class.
Don't be so quick to judge.This material is difficult and if you're having problems Mrs. Welden is always happy to help.She offeres great insight and will work with you until you understand. She honestly wants to help students, but if you're not willing to seek out the help than that is no fault of hers.She is a great help and is a very nice person
Ms. Weldon is very knowledgeable and intelligent teacher and earned my respect by taking interest in the students and patiently making sure everyone understands the subject matter. She has always approached the subject with an intention to help the students to learn and think. I found the course more interesting because of her.
She is a very intelligent professor. That being said YOU MUST go to class, do homework and do 3-4hrs of studying a week in order to pass this course. If you don’t put in this amount of time, you will struggle. The class is possible and the professor is very helpful. Be prepared to do work for this class.
Although the class required quite a bit of work, I think in order to master a subject one must put forth the time & effort. Seek help and ask plenty of questions all of which Mrs. Weldon offers. My opinion of her, she's very knowlegable & enthusactic about acct. She demonstrated a very nice & respectful decorum throughout. I like her.
Overall she is a great Professor. She knows the material inside and out. If you need help she is willing and really wants her students to pass. The material or the course is by no means easy. You will need to put some serious time into the class if you plan on doing well. Talk to her early in the term if you think you need help!
Prof Welden is caring, gracious, amicable and accommodating. While the course material is dense, she works very hard to assist you in understanding the concepts. Regretfully, she relies heavily on oral communication and PowerPoint slides as opposed to the board & marker. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend to course and the professor.
everyone says she's super hard butshes a reallllly good teacher

Prof. Welden is a great teacher. She is very helpful, and makes herself available to all of her students. Some people don't like how she uses the Socratic method, but if you do the homework, you have nothing to worry about. She really does want everyone to pass, and there's no reason you couldn't.
Here's the deal: The people who struggle in her class are also the ones who leave halfway through the lecture and don't have the book until the eigth week. Yes, accounting is hard, and she'll let you know quite bluntly if she's displeased with you, which is unprofessional, IMO. Yet if you treat her with respect, she'll do the same in spades.
I took her class 3 yrs ago. She discriminates based on your grade. If your not an A student she hates you. I asked her for help when trying to find an accounting job and she gave me the cold shoulder. I had higher mark professors help me, I ended up at PWC. I currently make more money then her for sure, I am now a CPA and more sucessful, ouch!
She is a great, knowledgable, helpful professor. Come to all the classes, DO ALL THE HOMEWORK, and ask questions if you dont know, even during the exam. You cant fail. I hadn't taken accounting in 10 years and I passed with a B. I highly recommend this professor.
Good, fair, & friendly prof! Disregard any old comments, whatever issues there may have been in the past are no longer present. Maybe life sucked and she was not at her best, idk. It's not an easy class; you will have to attend and do the problems to learn. I ran out of time taking tests but she gives opportunity make up 10 points the next class.

Great Professor, always willing to help... she comes off as as at first, but she is really cool always there for help if u ask and she is really funny
She will make sure you understand what you are learning.
She is one of the best professors I have had at Wayne. You have to attend all the lectures and do all the homework. Professor Weldon is ready and willing to help with any questions you may have. I liked her method of teaching. She asked you questions until you came to answer your own question or the one she asked. She is also funny and friendly.
GO TO CLASS AND DO THE HOMEWORK!! She will like you if you do that. FYI she asks the whole class questions and if you don't know it she will ask you more questions. Be Prepared.
I know she is there to teach, but she is very rude. Some of the comments she makes may really offend some people and I don’t think she cares. The way she acts towards her students may effect the way they perform in class. She knows her stuff but she acts like she is the best. I do not recommend taking her class.
Material is OK.Exams very hard. Required book 1st edition no way to get used copy somewhere else just from bookstore. Monopoly is the right word.Use of online accounting lab:useless for students.Great for teacher b/c no need to check student's homework.Test multiplechoice again no need to grade by teacher.ZERO input from teacher.Lectures very weak
Attendance is mandatory if you miss more than 4 classes she drops your grade. Biggest thing is she makes you answer hw questions in class. If u dont kno the answer or didnt do the hw she still forces u to do it and gives you a "you are dumb" look. Exams are tough. If u have to take her just be on top of hw and come prepared for class!
She is smart, but very mean and arrogant. She thinks she is funny, and cannot relate at all to students. Her lectures are pretty good though, but can be condescending when u ask her questions sometimes. Tests are no joke, but she does give ALOT of extra credit if the class does bad. She actually gave a pop quiz on the first day. Who does that?!?!?
this is acctg no matter who's teaching the class it's gonna be hard and ur going to hate ur life especially non acc majors. Prof weldon may have her own snese of humor get frustrated but she's AWESOME! don't just go to class and leave. go to class be involved and get to know weldon. she'll bend over backwards for u to help you if u show ur trying
This is the kind of person that should not be teaching. She tries to make people look stupid instead of helping them. She thinks she is the best there is and will tell you with her stories about herself, she does this more than teach. Take someone else, or take class at OCC if no one else is teaching. Wayne needs to get rid of her.
Professor Welden is a really nice person if you talk to her during office hours, however she puts on a "tough-guy" front for class (for some unknown reason). THE hardest class I've ever taken, and the tests made me want to drink poison.
Advice to all non-accounting students: if you want to save time, money and your nerves take accounting classes somewhere else, school like WSU should have better accounting teachers.
'Mandatory' class sessions were HUGE waste of time. Just listened to unentertaining stories about herself. We all had to teach ourselves the entire textbook. She never lectured ONCE!!!!
She's hard nosed and tough. Definitely the hardest class i've ever taken. Her exams are killer! I'm so glad i took her though. She's a great person who pushes you to your limit. Not the best teacher in the world but she made me better and made me work hard. I love her and would take her again!
Weldon is AWESOME!!!!! She is the best Accounting professor at WSU. She makes sure you understand the concepts and she is open to any questions you have. I wish she taught all the accounting courses.
Peculiar sense of humor that turns most off. STAY ON TOP OF THE MATERIAL & BE PREPARED!! Ask questions specific to material and participate in class discussion. If she is given free reign of lecture, she will subject class to rambles. Weldon is tough and demands graduate level expectations. She refuses to spoon-feed course material to MBA students.
Weldon definitely one of the better accounting teachers at WSU. She knows so much about the material. Very arrogant however and also like to rant on students if they don't understand the material. DO THE HOMEWORK AND YOU WILL DO WELL!!
The class is very demanding. Completing the HW is the Key and making sure you ask questions when you have them. Prof. Welden knows her stuff but for a class the only meets once a week it's hard to convey that information to students.
Loves to talk about her dog, call you out in class, and talks non-stop while drinking 40 energy drinks. But, is helpful, will lead you to the answer, very smart mouthed and impatient. Hardly no breaks, but will answer all questions. Do your homework, ask questions, and attempt to understand and you will do fine.
Is probably the worst professor I have ever had! All she does is QUACK QUACK QUACK!!! A **** attitude. Just presents from the CD in the text book. Shows off as though she has good knowledge but has no clue what she is teaching. Many a times ocntradicts herself! Always keeps talking off the subject and keeps draggin the class without any direction
I do beleive that she is a good professor who is tough but also always there for her students. She helps out with making sure people don't fail by offering an extra credit assignment that is done in groups after the exams. Its added to your overall score and boosts your grade significantly. LOVE that woman!
12 weeks of my life I will never get back! If you take this class be prepared to 1) teach yourself the material 2)lectures are more about her than they are accounting yet mandatory! 3)have the syllabus change at her every whim 4) get treated like a second grader. It's Sad really, the material is important at an MBA level but it doesn't get taught.
Worse Class I have ever taken. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. She made us stay till 11:30 PM to take our final. Class went from 600-920 we were given the final at 830, 75 questions - 50MC, 25 short answer. I did not get home till 12:00. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Wayne state needs to remove this teacher. It is that simple. She is out of control, has no sense of teaching. Take any class with her it would be a nightmare!!!!
Just ridiculous. The homework will take you hours, but be sure to do it or your grade (and exam scores) will suffer. She just yells at the class the entire time. It's bad when the teacher is less helpful than the lab instructor (Sandee...go see her for ANY questions). Go to the bar with her after your final...your grade could depend on it!!!
I have read all of the previous comments and I really do not understand how they are coming up with these comments. I have taken her twice and I love her. I dropped a class when I knew that she would be teaching it the following semester because I knew that I would walk out of there know what I should know. those complaining about being there for
Hands down she's the worst professor I've had besides Andrews. She talks extremely toooo much, she doesn't respond to emails, and doesnt explain the material. Her exams are 30 pgs long. If you want to learn plz dont take her. We're still waiting for grades to be posted from the semester and final grades a week later. Very lazy
Pretty good. Her style can come off as abrasive at first, but she is just trying to show you where you made a mistake. There is a lot of homework in this class. Nothing unexpected on tests, but they are long. If you're willing to put the work, it's not too hard to get a good grade, especially when you consider how much extra credit she offers
Bad professor.Shedesignes her class so that you teachyourself the material on your own and she teaches very little.You learn through doing homework on your own.Shemakes every student answer a question from the homework and she will keep going around theclass until every problem from the end of each chapter is answered.God forbid you answer wronge..
In the end, you have noone else to blame but yourself. Most will hate b/c you arent spoonfed the material, but welcome to college-its time to grow up. That is what she teaches you. EC saves ur life. USE THE RESOURCES SHE OFFERS! Make friends and study w/ them. Earn your grade-learn the lessons shes trying to teach you. Shes knows more than ud think
She is hands down the worst teacher I have ever taken. Wastes class time talking about nonsense that isn't even related to accounting. Goes over homework that you ALREADY know answers to since you have to do it yourself online. Hardly teaches and has a bad personality. Worst thing of all she's the only one teaching ACC 3020. Good Luck
i have mixed feelings. IN class she is very obnoxious, she wastes time and is rude to students. but one on one she is SO helpful and kind. i feel like she'd make a better tutor (like sandee) than a professor. class is extremely frustrating but if you talk to her on your own (or ask for help during exams) she will help a LOT! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!
DO NOT TAKE THIS BEAST! SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER AT WAYNE STATE! TAKE ANY BODY ELSE BUT HER!
Oh boy...if you are not doing the HW then forget it. You have to study your a$$ off. I got an 81 on the first test and a 66 on the second.Class averages for both were in the 50% range. Somehow I got an A in the class, the final was easy and the Extra Credit was a lifesaver. She is tough as hell, if you can swallow your pride for 3 months you'll be
Okay everyone, this is what you do. 1. Make friends with her by going to her for help 2. Do homework ACTUALLY do it 3. On Exam go through vocab/reason questions first, then problems 4. Do extra credit 5. On the test ask her for help 6. Remember that it's only for 3 months.
The woman is pure evil. All I can say is practice practice practice. I got a B in the class, only because of the ridiculous curve at the end (the class average was a 56%). The audio powerpoints in my accounting lab help a lot.
Please take this course at another institution and have it transferred over. Talk you your advisor if you don't know where to go. She is not worth your time and money! She tries to intimidate you and embarrase you in class. You teach yourself. If you ask her a question, she gets fierce with you and confuses you more.

Very hard teacher.forces you to learn the material on your oren then just tries to clear it up in class.HW amount is extensive to say the least. But suck up your pride cause she will bash you from time to time but use generis at the end with a curve.
she is very difficult. The tests are long and you will not have time to finish it. Do your hw for real, go to her for help, and do the projects. This class will consume all of your time and you will not have a life for four months. I suggest you take this class over the summer to focus on it.
I can't believe her! She makes you do things that most students hate... Thinking! Accounting is a logical subject, and she will make you think about the why to get to the what. If you do what she asks you will be happy with what you come away with. Work load is extreme though.
The class is quite challenging and those who are not willing to work hard will fail. Although her class is challenging and frustrating at times, she wants her students to succeed and tries to help her students when they ask. Also, try to come to class and try your best, it will pay off in the end, even if you don't know the answers... it did for me
She assigns so much homework (which she takes joy in) that you do not need to go to class; you'll learn from doing the homework. Homework is online and you have unlimited attempts but one problem can take hours. During class she just reads off power point slides, which isn't very useful. The only reason for going to class is for the pop quizzes.
Great professor! I enjoyed this class. I put off taking this class because I have never enjoyed history courses or the loads of reading that generally come along with it. Professor Welden made the course exciting and we had interesting activities throughout to keep everyone plugged in. No textbook, but 2 short novels and additional short readings.
I was really excited for this class, but my classmates and I have all agreed that this class was very difficult. Neverminded the pandemic, she assigned loads of homework, only to take months to grade (you never know how you're doing). She would even give particular grades on discussion boards, but never explain what was wrong and no rubric.
