Well informative, nice teacher, gives out prizes randomly, dull material.

Professor is clear, concise and well spoken. Has real world experience and knows accounting. Sometimes she can mix up her words but that's true for every professor I have ever had. Tests are average, but never surprising. Would take additional courses from her again.

Nori is great. She loves people that sit up front and participate. She takes attendance, so show up for free 25 pts. Tests are hardly surprising material and reviews are good. She tries to be funny and entertaining, but it's dry material. She gave out candy bars for turning in a sheet about yourself. One of my better classes this semester. Take her

Probably the best Acctg 230 professor I could have asked for! Nori was very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and extremely helpful. She really cared about the success of her students, and for difficult courses like Accounting, that speaks volumes. So long as you don't skip lecture [she takes attendance], and pay attention, you'll be fine.

she is really a nice person. Although this class 230 i mean is not easy but she always try to make it easy for us and like to help us very much!

Very willing to help. knows people may not be interested so she tries to make it interesting.

I like her, she is so nice and always eager to help her students. Really good teacher.

Nori is amazing. She knows what she is doing, is great at teaching and truly cares that you learn the material. She is also very understanding and fair.

Great personality! She knows her stuff and teaches it very well. She is still an accountant, so has real world experience. Read the book and go to lecture. That's all you really need.

Professor Pearson is a very nice teacher and extremely helpful. She recognizes that accounting is usually not a well loved subject for her students but tries to make class interesting anyways. She covers the material thoroughly and allows for plenty of review time. Don't be afraid to ask her questions, she is always willing to clarify or re-explain

Attend lecture and do the online homework and you'll do fine. Even if you don't she adds in a bunch of extra credit. Not a very difficult class and I put in minimal effort. Really good teacher, explains well and answers questions outside of class.

All 231 courses have the same homework and exams... With that said, Nori is the best because she speaks english clearly and manages to keep people awake. 231 is much less material than 230 so don't get too relaxed because its the easy questions that will get you on exams.

tough class and class is boring since it is a boring subject but she is very helpful if you go get help during office hours

Take her if you can!! She tries to make an incredibly boring subject as fun as possible. She is very helpful when you bring questions to her. She gives a lot of extra credit as well. She does a really good job at explaining the material and sometimes brings candy to class!

Good teacher with extra credit opportunities

Definitely a boring subject, but she tries to keep it interesting. It's nice that she is one of the few accounting professors who speak English. Be prepared to spend hours on the homework assignments. All in all, though, not too bad of a class even though it is accounting.

Nori is an amazing teacher. Very helpful and willing to work with students. Read the book before class, helps a ton with comprehension. Tests are almost the same as the workbook and problems in wiley. Use all of those resources and you'll do fine. She curves the class somewhat at the end, at least for the lower end.

Best professor for the course. But only because the others really don't speak english very well. She's nice and a good teacher, but her lectures are quite boring. Not really much of a point in going to lectures since she just recites the book, but she provides plenty of extra credit which is awesome. Go with Nori for Accounting 230

Very nice person, but tests are nearly impossible. She puts answers that look right but aren't and tries to trick you. Class: boring. HW: easy. Curve: HOPEFULLY!

I had to take this class twice and I only got a C in the class at the end, but that was mostly my fault for taking advantage of extra credit and putting in my fair share of work. Still this class is not to be taken lightly. Lots of concepts definitions and equations to be understood.

Difficult class if you're not studying to be an accountant. Nori will work with you. She wants to see her students succeed. Tests are VERY difficult, but scores are curved at the end of the semester. Online homework due before each test. 3 tests in the semester and a cumulative final. Nori is the department head. Very knowledgable. Take her class!

Nori is very knowledgeable about accounting, she was an accountant. I fight to stay awake in EVERY lecture but go because attendance is taken every class. Not much point to go, I learn more from doing the hw. Her study guides for the tests are top notch! If you dont understand something she does a great job explaining.I am taking her again for 231

Great teaching style. Made subject interesting.

She is very nice, makes occasional cheesy jokes, takes attendance, not exciting material. I suggest you study your ass off for the 3 midterms she has planned. I studied for a whole week for the third midterm and still got a 64 though I felt great after I was done. So read carefully, pay attention, and keep up with the class. the class is a pain, I suggest taking over the summer because 230 is too boring for a 16 wk course.

Makes it simple to understand.

Great teacher. Class is very easy and attendance is not mandatory. The exams are super easy, and lots of extra credit available. Highly recommend

Very basic, easy to understand class with lots of extra credit opportunities. There were a lot of sorority girls that struggled, but if you put some time and effort into the class it is an easy A. Highly recommended.

Good teacher! Accounting is a hard class but she tried to give her students every opportunity to succeed. She gives lots of extra credit and the homework is extremely helpful. She is also good about answering questions and makes the concepts very clear. Go to class and do the optional homework, it will really help you get better grades on the test.

There are a lot of extra credit opportunities, such as going to lab for attendance. As long as you complete the required homework 80% or better you will get full points. The final exam is not comprehensive, the material is very understandable and easy. This class is extremely easy to get an A, or a passing grade for that matter.

If you are good with numbers or math at all, this class will be a cake-walk for you, and an easy A. Lots of easy extra credit ensures that. The online HW does take longer than you think though, so don't wait until the last day to do it all. To learn the material well, all you have to do is learn from the HW and look at some of her online slides.

I am TERRIBLE with math...and numbers in general. BUT she is a great teacher. She knows what she is talking about. but don't get me wrong. this class is hard. extra credit is helpful and a must and same with the homeworks. attendance is not required but her discussions are helpful when confused with the material

Nori is exceptionally friendly and approachable. She makes Accounting as painless as it could possibly be. Her lecture style is very organized and easy to follow, and while she teaches a large amount of students, she always has time to give you a hand.

i really enjoyed her, she is no nice

Nori is great. She tries her best to make it clear and I think she actually makes accounting seem interesting. Best accounting teacher here.

She is a really good teacher!! She wants to let you know more as much as she could. I can't never expect a teacher better than Nori! Her exams might be harder, but you learn more for the real world.

Nori is a great professor. Her lectures are interesting and she explains things really well. There are 4 exams but you can drop one, and you have online homework due before each test. If you're taking Acctg 230, I highly recommend her above the rest.

Very nice lady, really cares about her students. Lecture is a little dry sometimes but she knows her stuff.

Super nice caring lady. Tries her hardest to make a naturally hard subject interesting. She tries her best to be as clear as possible and is very willing to help you.

Very nice/Funny. Loves this subject so tries really hard. Lots of homework for not much impact on your grade, but if you do it all you do well on exams! Some people just struggle with accounting, she makes it as easy as possible.

Easy to get 100% on homework but exams are challenging.

She is a great professor... but don't expect to get an easy A in this class. She calls on students at random, and I personally had to work my butt off to get a decent grade. However, she is good professor and is pretty good about making difficult concepts sink in.

She makes really boring concepts easy to listen to. People said on here that she has boring lecture but its accounting how exciting is it really supposed to be. She cares about what she's teaching and uses her personal experience in the business world for examples. I learned a lot from her class and actually enjoyed accounting.

I love Nori! she is such a nice lady and easy to talk to. Go to her office hours if you're having trouble. She is more helpful than a lot of people think. As an accounting major, I have heard she is one of the hardest Profs but easily likable.

She does her best with what she's given. Accounting is a difficult and boring subject but she does the best she can to teach it. The online homework isn't too bad and she offers a ton of extra credit. I really respect her. I recommend you guys to take her.

Intermediate accounting 1 was very difficult (just the class). Taking it online was even more difficult. She responded to any questions we had over the material, but had a teachers assistant that would answer a lot as well, who was difficult to get a hold of, especially at the end of the course. Overall good teacher though!

Nori is so passionate and wants to help you learn.. Intermediate with her was great! I loved the class even though it was challenging. Take her if you can for acctg courses here at WSU.

I don't really participate in these things, but I have to let everyone know how fair Nori Pearson is. She will give you every opportunity to excel in her class. Do the homework, do the extra credit, do the accounting cycles, and pass the tests and you'll do fine.

Nori is a great instructor. She is challenging and likes to randomly call on people so you need to be prepared. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed!

Nori is an awesome instructor. Anybody who doesn't like her did not go to class or doesn't take time to study. She is kind, fair and reasonable and is one of the best professors i've had in my 2 years here. She also gives a lot of extra credit in case you don't do well on exams. She's a great teacher.

Nice teacher, responds quickly when you have a question. Will give back points on tests if the question is deemed unfair. Also gives extra credit opportunities that are very helpful in the end. 4 proctored exams (no notes allowed) and I was not happy about that since they are expensive and I had 9 total for the semester.

Whether or not you give effort is important to her, she does not appreciate slackers. If you want help she is very available. While the content may not be the most interesting to everyone she does her best to make it appealing to all. She is the reason I changed my major to accounting. Read the book, study notes, ask for help when needed.

Lectures are very clear and her expectations are well laid out. She makes sure that the tests are fair. For instance, a different professor made the test and Nori decided it wasn't fair. So we had an extra in class exam that was added onto our previous score. Overall, I really liked the class with her and she really cares that students succeed.

I just hated this class. Had a student teacher so it was partially that. 4 - 25 question tests determine 70% of your grade, and never reflected how well you understood the material. Just be able to memorize homework questions. Instead of helping understand something you are just given the answer. The book and website for homework were awful!

She is a great prof. She expects a lot, but she is always willing to help you. If you go to class and pay attention she really goes through the material in a helpful manner. Her tests are on the harder side, but if you go to class, do the homework and even study a little you should get an A. You can tell she is a rare prof that actually CARES!!

Attendance was all extra credit, it was counted as long as you answered the iclicker questions ,you don't have to get them right in order to get the points. The subject is tough, and you MUST do the hw in order to understand, there is a good amount of hw. The test are somewhat difficult, but she curves sometimes. Overall, my favorite professor far.

Good intro to accounting teacher, explains things very clearly, works through problems and makes sure you understand concepts. Homework pretty much weekly, majority is online. 4 exams, no final. Pretty much need to go to class everyday, takes attendance with clicker questions. Class usually gets out 10-15 minutes early though so its not bad.

Class might get out early but it's dreadfully boring. 4 exams, three chapters per exam. Last exam is right before dead week, then one chapter + small project during dead week. attendance is extra credit. if you do the homework and read the book youll do average.

best teacher by far for accounting!

Nori is an amazing accounting teacher. She is very clear in her explanations and is passionate about her subject.

I absolutely loved this class!

Accounting is a dry subject. Nori, however, makes this boring class a lot more enjoyable. She loves to interact and get to know her students. Yes the exams are hard. Yes accounting isn't the most interesting subject. Yes you will have to study and do the homework to do well. But honestly Nori made a class that I was dreading a lot less painful.

Best accounting professor I've ever had. She convinced me to be an accountant. She truly cares about students. Go to class and try hard and she will notice. The lectures are quick because she expects you to read.

Did all the homework and assignments thru online site. No notes or book during exams, very difficult.

Her class is amazing. It is very easy to follow. If you read the textbook before the class, you can pass.

Great teacher. Tests are reasonable and homework isn't too bad.

Nori is a very good instructor. Go to class and actually pay attention to lectures as she covers everything in much depth to further your understanding. First exam will be major part of grade, don't slack. Do all homework, exams are based off it. Understand WHY you are doing transactions! Easy course overall if you put in the work.

I actually really enjoyed this class. If you read the chapters and watch the videos she assigns before class her lectures will make sense, and if you still don't understand the material TA hours are clearly defined and recommended. The online homework is pretty much impossible to not get 100%, and overall the class is not too difficult to pass.

Yes, this course is difficult and challenging but it is manageable. I highly recommend taking this course with at least 3 easy classes to go with it. This is because you are going to be spending a lot of time studying for this class. Nori is a fantastic professor. Yes she has her drawbacks but she teaches this course like an actual business course.

Nori seems to really care about her students, whenever I went to office hours or emailed she was really nice. If you read the chapters, her exams are a lot easier and she grades everything on a curve and has a boat load of extra credit. Course projects youre guaranteed 100% if u do the recovery. Ppl are just mad they didnt study right

Tough course, but its a college accounting class... wouldnt have expected any different. Idk why people dont like Nori, she wasnt bad. Always kept us updated through email and was willing to help. My biggest problem is how she does midterm grades. Basically u get a C or F ( not an actual grade ) even if u have 100% on everything :/

As it was said before this is a college accounting course, its hard. That being said I enjoyed the class and how accessible Nori/the TAs were. Yes it was difficult at times but it was so so easy to get help if you needed it. My recommendations are to work hard, be prepared for the load, dont be afraid to seek help and go to class.

Go to class, easy "A" class

I was scared going into this class because of the reputation that Nori had for this class but it seems like maybe those led to her changing. I took her class Spring 2020 and found that she is very flexible and gave tons of homework extensions. She also curved our first two exams. If you go to class, you should get a good grade.

Nori has her pros and cons. I have a hard time paying attention to her lectures and feel like I haven't learned much from them. You are looking at spending 2-4 hrs a week on homework that teaches you everything. However, she is incredibly nice and cares about her students, and gives a lot of extra credit and extensions on assignments.

Nori is the most understanding and helpful professor I have ever had. Having never taken an accounting class before, Nori was just eager to help me and never made me feel bad for not knowing what I was doing. Lectures are a little boring, but what accounting class isn't? She is a top notch choice, and if I had to take another class, I'd pick her!

I had her for my online accounting class and she was very helpful. Always got back to my emails and explained things thoroughly. Zooms were recorded if you couldn't make it and I found she was very lenient with her grading for our main project. I've never been good at accounting and still passed with an A. If you can have her for an online course.

The lectures were hard to understand, especially with the amount of papers passed out each class. However, she is very helpful if you have any questions outside of class and will try to make sure every student passes. Overall, the lectures are confusing but there is always help if you ask for it.
