Taxation in general is a hard topic. She is the coordinator, so the examples that she covers in class are very similar to the problems you'll have to do in the midterm and the final.

If you aren't taking Mervat for ACCO340 then your making a bad decision! Her lectures are great and she knows her stuff very well. Her notes cover almost all the content. A hard course, but with that being said, expect to pay attention and listen in class! She is also strict on cellphone use, but trust me she's just looking out for you by doing so.

Mervat is a great teacher although this is a very hard class and therefore you definitely have to put in a solid effort. There is a lot to keep up with so you have to stay on top of things. Her lectures are amazing and she prepares you for the exams which are extremely fair. She always goes over every concept with examples which also helped a lot!

Definitely the best ACCO 340 teacher. Its a tough class but I loved her so much I'd take it again just to have her as a teacher. If you do her in class problems and understand them you should do well on the midterm and final.

BEST professor ever! Her lecture is amazing. Even though she has accent, it not affect the high quality of the lectures. If you take her, you will be fine. Otherwise, i'm not sure because the book doesn't help.

Most valuable teacher. She provides her own notes, corrects exams very fast, avoids nonsense and gives real-life practical examples. Every word she speaks is holy, make sure to write everything down. Listen carefully because she speaks fast. Attend every class and do all the problems and you will be more than fine.

She is AMAZING. Seriously, she really cares that you do well in her course and gives out notes that you fill out (so that you pay attention) and even forces students to put down their pencils when she does examples so you have full attention of what's happening (she gives you time to write down after). I wish I had her for all my acco classes.

Took acco 340 for a second time after a crappy semester and grade with a different prof. Upon taking the class with Mervat, I felt like I learnt a completely new course. I understood the material so much better through her worksheets and teaching methods. It honestly helped my confidence. With that said, I emphasize going to every class!!

She is the best prof for taxation. She prepares some problems and do it with us every week. The course is hard. You need to read textbook and practice lot of problems.

She's the best teacher I've had a JMSB. Gives her own set of notes, runs through problems that are extremely representational of the exams and always willing to give out advice.

Explaining accounting courses by sitting down is simply not effective. Her accent doesnt support this type of teaching style as people didnt understand her which made them miss out on notes. Not the most approachable when it comes time to ask questions. There's not enough time to do the 2 page quizzes in 15 min.

Lots of homework

She is an amazing teacher. Don't miss her class as she explains well. Read and do exercises that she tells and you 'll be good! it's not an easy course and you have to work hard to get a good mark, but I find she is a best teacher for ACCO340!

Lots of homework

Mervat is one of the best teachers I had in university. She knows her material really well and explains it very clearly. If you follow her in class, you will know already 90% of the material without opening the book. Some people say she is harsh, but she is just very direct as a person and she truly cares about her students!

Amazing teacher, amazing notes! She's very clear and wants students to truly understand the material, not just memorize it. Gives great advice for writing cases too! Definitely take her if you can. Her notebook/textbook is really worth it, she has summarized all of the key topics in an easy to study/remember format!

Mervat is the best teacher I have ever had at JMSB and in the CPA program. She wrote the best textbook I've ever read that helped so much for understanding financial reporting. She prepared us so well and taught us the exact steps to write cases. She gives a lot of practice that helps and she's so knowledgeable and kind. I loved her and recommend!

The course does not adequately prepare students for the CFE. She spends a lot of class time promoting her book and her teaching abilities, even over CPA National resources, which I find far more valuable. I wish she could focus on teaching rather than using class time for what feels like a marketing campaign.
