horrible, terrible, your worst nightmare comes to life!

Worst prof at the university!

She should have been a kindergarten teacher...she likes to treat students like children. Okay class...lets read paragraph 3 on page 172 together. The university seriously has to look at its hiring policies...recruit someone that can TEACH and not just because they may have managed to get some degree, etc. I got 90 in the class but not due to her!

be ready to work hard, EXTREMELY HARD, just to pass the class. She is strict and can be very unforgiving when marking. your either going to pass with a 60 or fail. Dont' wast your time or money, take this class with randy.

Knows her stuff for sure, but isn't very good at getting the message across. If you can take this class from anyone else, do so.

Worst prof to take bus285 with, blamed the students for having a low class average instead of her material, labs were on stuff she didn't even cover until after the lab, took off marks for stupid stuff and was too busy with personal stuff to answer questions or answered them rudely and vaguely.

Do not take her class. You can't miss a class even if you have a doctors note and are very sick.

Although Meaghan knows accounting, her mannerism is rude and doesnt seem to care how people take it. I do not recommend her.

Expectation is not clear. Lacking teaching skill. She also comes across pushy and lack of professional manner. Will never take her class again. A pain.

Class seems easy and application questions is not tested, there are some CPA questions not even related are tested and it is so hard to remember, I can say it is not really a accounting class. Avoid taking it, I spent a lot of time on it and finally failed(My GPA is 75). Final are extremely hard, most students consider re-take ,not taking with her

Spends too much time on information that isn't tested and is a very tough marker. C

Hope you remember ever minor detail in class or you will fail. Study IFRS and ASPE even though she only teaches one side because she tests both of them. She'll give like 3 practice questions that are somewhat easy and then give a near impossible question on the exam. Know every standard (IFRS15/9 etc.) in detail or you'll lose 20% right there.

Essentially kicked me out of her class, after the drop date. Apparently you need to complete a minimum of 10 WilleyPlus multiple answer assignments (out of a total of 13) to be eligible to write the final. I missed the first 4 due to some miscommunication. I did go back and finish them; didn't matter. She's a stickler for rules. Awaiting refund.

Meghan criteria for exams is not clear, she would ask a question in an exam which she has not covered in class. She marks papers under a microscope and very strict about her syllabus, she is not at all flexible in that. I am a hardworking student and have my name in Dean's list but her class made me stress more than I have in my entire time at Uni

If you like getting stressed and a bad grade then only in my opinion should take Meghan. Taking Meghan was the worst decision that I took against the advice of my fellow students and seniors so its totally up to you. I would never do given the choice

very tough

Super hard. More than half of the class did NOT pass the midterm.

The hardest Prof I've ever had, on both of the midterms (which were both squeezed into a 6 week course) the large majority of the class failed (above 80% of them), and in response she told us to work harder. She also would kick people out of the lectures for being 5 seconds late (it happened multiple times), and just had an abrasive personality.

She is a tough grader. She thinks students already know stuff. If she is intelligent then y don't answer the questions without looking at the answer sheet. I'll never ever take a class with her even I have to wait 1 year. Midterms and Finals are super hard. She thinks we are at CPA level and she'll say exams are hard because it'll help us in CPA:/

She speaks so quietly you can barely hear her from the back of the class and overall her teaching bored me to tears. Besides that, nothing is worse than listening to a monotonous lecturer talks on and on about a minor point for 3 minutes straight. Absolutely torturous.

Failed majority of the class on the midterm. Blames students. High, unclear, unreasonable expectations. Had friends that took bus285 and had a much more pleasant experience. Just think of your most stick high school teacher and thats her lol

she failed more than half of the class

When I read the reviews for Megan Costiuk's BUS285 class, I thought to myself: "she can't be THAT bad, can she?"... Was I ever naïve. Our first midterm was worth 20% and more than 60% failed and she didnt curve the grade. Then after COVID19, she changed it to 40%, making it impossible for some to even get a passing mark.

worst prof ever!

The worst proof at the university

Exam questions much more difficult than what is given in class or included on sample exams. Grating lectures. Had a few instances of glossing over points that we were later tested on. Useless feedback on exam. Majority of the class failed the midterm and likely the whole course. See other review on how COVID played into things. Avoid at all costs!

Her grading is completely unfair and she can't get to the point without spending 15 minutes talking about anecdotal examples that will make your head spin. She takes attendance every day but there aren't any attendance marks and more than half of the class failed the midterm that felt like a final exam. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Probably the worst prof you can take for accounting. Has little care for how well her students do in the class. Her tests are also unreasonable compared to other profs. If you can I would avoid!

The class average is a shocking 56% for an intro level accounting course. The typical average should be around 70% which shows how difficult her class is. Apart from that, her teacher style is very dull so its extremely hard to figure out what she is trying to emphasize. I deeply regret not taking others advice. AVOID HER AT ALL COST!!!!

She is the worst prof & you don't really have much of a choice bcz she is the only prof who is teaching this class and to be honest she is the reason I switched my major in accounting to management. She gave me so much hard time and I have attended all the classes but what she teaches in the class is so easy but exams are super hard. Save yourself!

In winter semester 2020 Our first midterm she failed more than 60% of the students. And after covid happened she changed everything she changed our midterm from 20% to 40% and final became from 50% to10%. I am good in accounting but Im not joking you never take class with her unless if you want to struggle. Definitely take with Nola instead of her

MEGAN IS A WORST PROF ANYONE COULD EVER TAKE. SHE MADE OUR LIVES A LIVING HELL. FIRST OF ALL THE TERM EXAMS ARE SO DIFFICULT AND WE HAD PROCTOR. WE HAD TO DO THE WHOLE IDENTITY THING FIRST, WHICH CONSUMED MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. PLUS SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE IF THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT ON TIME OR NOT. SHE DOESN'T EVEN GIVE EXTRA TIME.

She tries her hardest to fail as many students as she could and expects you to put 10x more effort just to get a B. If you don't have time to spend 20 hours per week studying for her class then you're not gonna do well in it. I know so many people who failed her classes because they had to work part-time jobs.

Megan has to be one of the worst profs ever to get a job. How she managed to land a position at the school is beyond me. She has to be the most unqualified prof who does not give a single ounce of remorse for how she manages her students. Avoid her at all cost otherwise do not take the class with her. She can't be bothered to do her job.

Megan is probably the worst prof you could possibly take. The most unapproachable prof at this school, she will get mad at you for missing the smallest detail when emailing her and wont answer your question. Her class isn't hard as long as you do the study problems and practice test. but there is 0 support or teaching on her end. Do not take her.

The only reason I passed this class was because Megan left during the semester. She was rude, did not care about your struggles in the course, gave most of the class failing grades for the first midterm. She didnt allot time for proctortrack setup and didnt care when people couldnt get in. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, YOU WILL CRY ON A DAILY BASIS.

Honestly confused on how she can be a professor. Every week you get a lab test that you don't even have enough time to complete and and a super lengthy assignment. She couldn't care less if people were struggling and does not help out... and then she left halfway through the semester and we had to try to learn everything from the start on our own.

Im pretty sure the only person who thinks she's a good prof is the dean. not too sure how since we literally had class discussions on how terrible she was. if you want to cry every single day and stress over endless assignments and quizes, and get frustrated by her lack of understanding- shes the prof for you!

I feel like a class average of around 35 in an intro class should be a sign that the prof is doing something wrong.... clearly isn't to her as she couldnt possible care less or curve the grades. Im pretty sure she lessened my knowledge of accounting in this class

WORST PROF EVER!!! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES.

Megan is smart but she is not a very good person. She is always rude and impatient with her students because she has a massive ego and thinks she is so much better than everyone else. She also gets massive enjoyment in seeing her students fail and does absolutely nothing to help them succeed in the course. Try to avoid her at all costs if you can.

Hands down THE WORST prof at the uni. She doesn't even teach and all she does is go over 2 problems in class. I honestly have no idea how she still has her teaching certificate...

Megan is the worst professor in the University. She is not clear on her expectation on her exams and she refuses to accept assignments unless they are at the start of the class. She will not let you in the classroom if your more than five minutes late and is not great with explaining concepts.

Megan shouldn't be allowed to teach. She rushes through material and misses key concepts altogether in lectures, but her assignments/tests are ridiculously hard. She is very discouraging, but the U of R won't do anything about it because they only care about money. Neither will she, as it is easier to just recycle the same course year after year.

You should take her classes only if you want to bang your head against a wall and cry yourself to sleep every time before an exam. Otherwise, avoid her at all costs!

Megan is a worse university instructor. She does not explain course materials, so we must learn ourselves. She only does sample problem solving during regular class time. Her exams are challenging, and she is a tough grader. Students should avoid taking her courses if possible.

Megan is a worse instructor. We should avoid taking her classes.

Honestly, I can't stress this enough for anybody taking an accounting course. Avoid Megan, not because she is "tough" or because she has a reputation of having a hard class. Avoid Megan because you are paying a premium for classes here and any other Accounting Prof is a better, more equipped instructor who is not gatekeeping this profession :)

Run. Run far away from this professor. Wait another semester if she is your only choice for the class. She blames the bad marks on the lack of attendance, but doesn't consider the fact that she is the problem. She seems knowledgeable about managerial accounting, but there is a difference between knowing something and being able to teach it.

Living in her own world. I've never encountered a teacher that marks so hard. You will not receive half marks what so ever. The weekly assignments are easy, however, this sets you up for failure when it comes to midterms. Class average for the midterm was below passing. You might as well teach yourself this class.

Looks like megan does not want you to pass the class, her grading criteria is absurd. She wants you to have all the knowledge about the course, but not know how to teach it to students. Midterms are way too hard, you might not pass thus leading to failure in finals as well. Poor teaching skills. Tough Grader. Very unfriendly. Very SLOW.

Brutal!!! The class material isn't hard, but the wording of questions on exams are meant to trick you. Megan sets students up for failure and is proud of it. The assignments are easy marks but they don't reflect the difficulty level of exam questions at all! I told myself "This class can't be that bad", but I i was so wrong. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I am a 3rd-year student and have never had a professor as bad as Megan. None of the content in the class was difficult, but her exams are graded to make you fail. I did really well in BUS 285 with another professor, but in BUS 288 with Megan, I really struggled. If you can avoid her

Megan was my instructor for BUS 385. She is rude, condescending, and unhelpful. She is one of the worst profs I had at the University of Regina and am surprised she is still qualified to be an instructor. I would avoid at all costs as she provides a very low quality of learning and education for students.

This was the only worst class I had in my whole life. So please find some other prof

Her class is not designed for students to succeed she is the toughest marker on exams and will fail you by 1 or 0.5pts for tedious errors that do not affect the actual answer. Avoid at all cost for any non 400 level classes. Broke my spirit

This professor is very incapable, her exams are so incredibly difficult for no reason. You can complete all the recommended problems and still not know what to do on the exam. Would never take this class with her again. I'm not sure how she is still a professor.

This professor is completely out of it. Her tests are nothing like the examples you do in the textbook and are worded incredibly poorly. Would recommend staying incredibly far away from this prof... Still not sure how she is employed at the university.

I would give her a zero if I could. How she is a prof is beyond me, and I hope she reads these. Does not teach a single thing, so have fun learning 90% of the class yourself before the midterms. She seems nice, but nice does not give you a good education. Absolute 0/10 prof, UofR really needs to take a better look at who's teaching their students.

Docked me 2 marks on a midterm because my calculations were too organized? She seems like a nice person on the surface, but her exams are so hard and brutal for no reason, wording is hard to understand exactly what she's asking (IMO). Don't take this class with her if you can, but if this is your only option, take this in a lighter semester!

No point in showing up to class as you will need to teach yourself all the material. Test marking makes absolutely no sense. Avoid taking this professor at all costs.

While it's clear that Megan knows what she's doing she cannot teach. Her lectures are very slow and she is super heavy on the textbook. Not able to access in class examples and assignments without it. Hard marker and has tendencies to write passive agressive comments on exams. Class averages being incredibly low are a reflection of her teaching.

When she says everything can be tested she sure will be testing you on everything. Reconsidered being an accountant and rejected a job offer and went into finance jobs instead

The reason I dropped out of accounting

the class average on the first midterm this year was a 41%, that says about all you need to know about her teaching skill. fine person, not great prof.

Extremely stressful course. You have to memorize the textbook and assignments inside and out to do really well on the exams. Basically my tip for the exams is that don't expect any questions that you would expect to be tested on the exam, but the material that was barely discussed or quickly glossed over.

awful experience. unnecessary, harsh feedback written on my midterms. I think she likes to gatekeep who becomes an accountant. if the CPA PREP experience is this bad perhaps I will reconsider. all 4 of my classes this semester were poor quality. UofR - where youthful exuberance comes to die.
