While the professor is obviously intelligent, she isn't good at explaining. She doesn't give rubrics for the two group projects and she gives an exam every 2-3 weeks. Homeworks are very long. At the very least, the exams and the finals are all taken from the online study guides.

She's inconsistent with grading; if you are her favorite, she will unfairly make sure you get 100% on each assignment to convince you to go into accounting. You can get an A, but you must work hard, especially if you are not a teacher's pet. Over 10 hours of homework each week through Connect, and two projects she will not provide a rubric for.

There were 5 exams, and lots of homework each night through Connect. She has connections in the business field but is not the best teacher. Her projects were slightly repetitive and took up a lot of class time and were not provided with rubrics, so she will mark you down with a system you didn't know existed. However, lots of EC opportunity.

Professor Orchideh is great teacher. I have learned more from her in this class than I have in 1 year of classes at UW Bothell. She takes the time to explain but she doesn't give you the answers. I respect that about her. Everything is organized and laid out. She is way too nice and understanding.

I was nervous about taking this class. I have never worked with technology outside of excel. I really enjoyed this class. The instructor taught this from the accounting perspective which made it easy to understand. She gave me confidence in my knowledge of accounting and helped me apply it to something real. I hope she teaches tax class.

The Professor was great at the start of the quarter, but things started to fall apart after she was gone for two weeks. Tasks for assignments and projects started to change. The final was a trainwreck as it was changed within minutes of walking through the door. Overall there was a lot of confusion that cost people's grades.

I liked her explanations with business experience. I learned why accounting is important to my marketing major and when I start working. There was a lot of work but you got to do a lot of it in class. You definitely have to go to class, ask questions and pay attention. Easy final multiple choice from past quizzes and problems from projects.

Orchid supports students in class and outside of class. Is patient and kind. Assignments clear, all are auto graded except for project and Final part 2. Makes time in class for us to work on assignments so she can be there to answer questions and walk you through the hard ones. She is respected the industry. Mentored me to get a great job.

Professor cares more about her businesses than her own class, forgets to publish assignments, and will not grade anything until the final week. You do not know your grade until the last week but she is a strict grader which is nonsensical. Horribly strict grading and expects you to know everything

Talks about herself way too much and makes her lectures extremely dramatic. Lots of busy work, and she teaches about 5% of each chapter during class. Tells lots of stories about her multiple businesses and her personal success. Does not understand canvas. However, I would take her again only because her grading is very easy.

She is a caring person with alot of experience but she seems to be completely checked out of the class alot of the time and most of the work/teaching is done by videos online. You will not know your grades until the last week and she does not answer questions outside of class. I would take the class again but it can get very stressful.

POV AMAZING teacher, person and business woman. Students survive, succeed because of her support and understanding. Her experiences, connecting news to what we learn made it easy to learn. I'm a student of color and she is an inspiration. Unfortunate she's up against the traditional businessman professional biases from some. We need you professor!

I have my internship thanks to Professor Orchideh! Lots of students love her. I took her 210 and 211 courses. I also got into UWB Business School Accounting Program. Had no clue what I was going to major in till her. She is so supportive! She grounds you in real business in her classes and teaching style is to learn and apply what you learned.

Took class Spring 2023 and had internship. I have great respect for time she spent to help me and other students. She runs companies, is active in community and family. I wrote this review because the bad reviews are not true. She is engaging, knowledgeable and accomplished. I'm proud we have her as a Professor and mentor. I learned so much.

It's a senior course and hard if you are not proficient in Excel or self disciplined to learn. Worst part was a few students who didn't show to classes busy abusing the school's resources. Irony was her project was case in point of how to use accounting and technology to stop this from happening in businesses. Great teacher and total professional.

Terrible communication and grading. Sends information last minute or not at all. A waste of time to even try to communicate with her outside of class. All of her course is via a third party platform. She does very minimal grading and still has not graded any assignments 7 weeks into the quarter. Also gives no direction/info to projects or exams.

Terrible, this class was supposed to be a hybrid class, in-person Monday online Wednesday but we had no in-person classes. They were canceled either a couple of days before or sometimes on the day of and it was changed to Zoom or just a lecture video. I taught myself all quarter so what am I even paying for? Save your sanity, don't take her class.

Literally forgets to host her online zoom classes (even on days when it's supposed to be in-person) and doesn't tell any of her students so we are all stuck in the waiting room seeing if we have class because she takes attendance. By far the most irresponsible, non-communicative, unhelpful professor I have ever seen. Don't bother emailing her.

Doesn't utilize Canvas or her MH Connect program at all. Runs all assignments through Connect, which is fine, but then never publishes any modules or assignment instructions in Canvas. Literally posts useless announcements non-stop and when you need assignment or direction help, you have to sift through all the posts hunting for any instruction.

Hybrid course that got turnt fully online for many reasons. Felt like I did not learn anything all quarter and it was thanks to super unclear instructions on a week-to-week basis and just an overall poorly structured class. Doesn't grade anything until the end of the quarter.

There were so many times professor would switch up on students like the syllabus, meeting times, etc. There was constant stress with assignments because our class was "hybrid", but we had only gone in person for the midterm/final. She didn't think about her students and expected perfection, but only did whatever she wanted on her own schedule.
