As long as you do the HW and follow the course's materials you will be fine. Accounting it's hard when your learning but she'll do her best to help you inside and outside of class.

Her class is very demanding. tests are hard as you have to remember all the content of the statements. acct. 10 is harder than acct. 11. an less you are familiar with some concepts of acct. don't take it on the summer. the project is time consuming. you have to leave spaces while taking notes as she writes all over.

You should spend 20 hour/week for her class, do all homework and practice more for test. I do not recommend taking summer class as you have to focus all your time for her class. Be careful as she is cranky and raise her voice when she's tired or when you repeat your question.

I took Professor Ghodrat's ACCT10 class online and let me just say you have to stay on top of it because it's very fast pasted. Every week you are assigned two chapters which you have hw and an exam. Coming from a procrastinator, you can do it. Professor Ghodrat is extremely helpful! You get extra credit every time you see a tutor.. take this class

Took for 10, LOVED HER. She made me want to be an accountant. the people that complain she snaps are the people that never pay attention, what do you expect if you have to teach the same class 3 times a day for so many semesters. Pay attention, do your hw, and review before exams, youll get an A. not too easy but its not hard. do your part = A

She prepares you for her exams by giving you in class assignments and group work, if you don't work hard don't expect to pass.

The one group project is too big if you ask me, but she always is willing to answer a question. Online assignments give you many attempts so you can figure out what you are doing correctly or incorrectly, but penalizes you for the 3rd attempt so you can't earn 100% credit if you guess and check.

While a very nice lady, Nancy's lectures are outright painful to sit through because of poor organisation.

Nancy is an easy teacher, but hated when I asked questions. She's a smart woman, but gets stressed easily and is a poor communicator to her students. If you just want an A, Nancy's fine.
