she likes to go over conceptionally without giving you the equations of whatever you may need. When it comes to equations, you kind of need to teach it to yourself, because most of her stuff is vocab, but yet she will put statements on her tests.

All those complaining about her maybe would prefer some of the other DePaul profs who don't give a damn! She cares about how things are going and is always helpful as long as she knows you're trying. Focus on internal control for 2nd half. 1st half is just reading the chapters and memorizing.

She has a good sense of humor, at least she thinks so. But her teaching method is straight from the book, shows slides, doesn't give examples of problems during class, and rushes through chapters. She thinks the class knows the material. Doesn't go over homework, unless u ask & she'll rush u.

She was a good teacher compared to others. I had Murphy for acc 101 and she was harder. Wendorf at least goes through the homework and she puts notes up on blackboard. Accounting is a hard subject and it is difficult to grasp, if you are failing or doing bad maybe it accounting is not your thing and most of the teachers are not easy.
