This is a hard class but not impossible. Mrs. Graybeal outlines pretty much exactly what she expects us to know, and I think she's a good instructor. She will also give you personal tax advise as it relats to class and tells interesting stories.

She is a very good professor. Unfortunately, I think she only teaches in the summer. She makes class very enjoyable and relates a lot of stuff from the material to cases she worked when she was employed by the IRS. Take her if you can.

Great professor! She makes material very easy to understand. Her tests are hard, so study a lot. If you are a slacker do not take it. If you want to learn, she is the best.

very nice lady. tests are a bit hard but i got a "B" in the class. study handouts and you will do fine. very helpful but sometimes very confusing when she tries to answer your questions.

The most helpful acctng professor you will have at UCF. She gives you exactly what you need to know for the test, all you have to do is STUDY!! Dont whine and expect her to give you everything, be responsible and come to class,and if u miss class make sure you pick up the work. She wants u to learn

I HATE accounting, but this class wasn't that bad. Gives out exactly what will be on the test, just ALOT of material covered. Grading is very fair, and she is genuinely interested in you learning. High recommend if you have to take ACG 3131.

Graybeal is the most WONDERFUL professor I have had at UCF. She is smart, easy to understand, clear on what will be on tests, VERY eager to help. On top of that, she is interesting to listen to and tells good stories in class. I would take her for every class if I could!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

She is the BEST teacher at UCF!!!! Very clear on what she expects, truly cares about her students learning, more than willing to help, gets to know you on a personal level b/c she wants to!!! The most interesting, real life stories that you can relate to and help you remember and understand the material!!!! THE GREATEST!!!! Highly Recommended!!!!

She is a very helpful professor, but her exams are so difficult. Her exams usually contain multiple choices and the other half you have to work out. It is not an easy class.

I loved her classes and looked forward to going to them. She makes the class fun and really cares. Some of her test questions are a little tricky, but she is more than fair. Gives you lots of handouts, curves a lot, and tells you what you need to know for the tests.

I took her for acg3131, dont whine if you can not hack the work. Yes her tests are challenging(hint ask her during the test about a few questions and she will tell you if it is wrong!!) She is more than helpful to her students and since she actually works in the field I think that I got more for my money in this class and was prepared more for th

She has worked for the IRS & has her own CPA firm. She cares about her students as people & will help you in any way possible. She gives handwritten feedback on exams & takes the time to ensure that students truly know the material before they leave her classroom. She has been, by far the most influential and caring professor that I have ever had.

this class was easy and she was the most helpful teacher ive ever had. you gotta be kidding if you think her tests are too hard. i got an A and i would definetly recommend her to anyone

Class is difficult, but if you study hard an "A" is very achievable. Graybeal is more then willing to help anyone. She doesnt give notes but the handouts do help understand the material. Great teacher, I would recommend. Learned alot

I took the same class the semester before with a different teacher and didn't pass it. I passed her class and enjoyed it in the process. Mrs. Graybeal is the best professor I've had for accounting. She is very helpful inside and outside of the class room. Its true, she does give out lots of handouts, but if you study them you'll do fine.

Awesome teacher, I highly recommend her. I'm not good at accounting, but managed to pass.You can work with others on a project, which HELPS your grade greatly it's striaght forward, and she practically gives out A's.Exams on the other hand you got to put forth the effort and study,so study the handouts! attendance is not required,very easy going

Graybeal is a good teacher. The material is difficult to start with and she does a good job of explaining it. You can't slack for even one class because the quizzes can be tricky. Come to class with her handout problems completed. Show her respect and she will be happy to help you.

If you don't go to class everyday, you're bound to miss something important. Her tests are challenging and you don't get the testing style til the final but if you show her that you're really putting forthe the effort, you'll do fine in the class.

I liked her! The class is extremely tough, I ended up with a C+. She's somewhat unorganized and her teaching style lacks direction sometimes. She is more than willing to help you in her office. Gives students advice like what classes to take together and things like that.

I thought the tacher was awesome, and I took her Summer B (along w/these other postings) I thought she was very clear, TAKE GOOD NOTES... read the text... give a little and you will do fine! Only poor thing, with a 6 weeks summer course she didn't have much time for outside of class help. I thought she was a great instuctor.. will take her 4 3141

Great instructor if you pay attention and make an effort. More than willing to help by email or out of class. Difficult material is covered so don't take her if you are not serious. Fair grader esp when you clearly show your calculations. Relates coursework to her experiences which helps.

I felt Prof Graybeal was a great instructor. Goes over lots of examples in class, and is more than willing to help you outside of class. Fair grader and has a good sense of humor.

She is great! Class is hard and I spent plenty of time studying but it worth it b/c of upcoming CPA exam. She remembers students who participate in class and she is good with e-mails. I liked her handouts b/c they were from different sources. I will recommed her to everybody. and she is so good especially after Prof. Lacy!

She is a wonderful teacher and if you really would like to do good take her class and also if you need more help she will welcome you to her office and try to help out as much as she can. You will be busy during the entire semester.

Professor knows what she is doing and takes the time to go over your questions. Read. Do the problems. Practice handouts. Take good notes. Ask questions-she's happy to help. Just do the work, take heed in her lectures/advice, and do your best. She does her best to meet halfway. Her system is correct, you either get it or don't. Best of luck. : )

Does not explain well. Assigns all of the textbook problems at the end of each chapter which do not relate to testable material. A lot of useless busy work. Learned too late in class that she only tests on material she hands out (though she will tell you otherwise). She gave a semesters worth of homework 2 weeks before the final.

I really like Graybeal alot. I look her in Spring '08 and did very well in her class. I will be taking her for ACG 3141 in Spring '09. If you listen to what she has to say, you can learn a lot from her. I think her tests are a fair representation of the handouts she gives out. She also sends out great emails of handouts that help ALOT!

You people need to stop complaining! She is a great professor. All the subjects she requires ARE seen in the real world, and there are so many concepts that she can't teach all of them. She really does try her best to meet you half-way, so please don't expect to pass her class by studying the weekend before the exam because you'll most likely fail.

The subject is hard so you must commit to putting in time for the class. The teacher is good and is very helpful outside class when you need it. She keeps the class pretty interesting. I'd take her again if I had to. She is definitely better than Mrs. Veit!!

Hard class (in general). Great professor! As long as you go to class, go to her for help and show her you care, then she will care! Very willing to work with students who do the work. This is not a "easy" class, you have to do the handouts, study, do hw problems to keep up with learning. I cant say enough about her...she is awesome!!

This class was not easy, she is a better teacher than Veit, which really makes a difference in your performance. Read the text before class, do the sample problems and go to her for help, you should pass if you work hard....DO NOT SLACK, you will pay!

Not an easy class but she gives you all the tools you need to pass. You can't slack in this class. You MUST read each chapter carefully and do as much exercises as possible. I got a B+ in a 6 week period. Much better than Veit. Too bad she's not teaching anymore, and the class is mandatory now. Good luck with Veit.

Before you take her you need to ask yourself if you really want to learn this stuff or do you want an easy A. If you want the easy A dont take her, take Rob. If you really want to know this stuff and be prepared for 3141 take her. The class is not rocket science but requires a lot of time to pratice the concepts.

This class was the hardest class I have ever taken... and it was the first "C" I have ever made. You have to read the material multiple times and attempt problems before she goes over them in class. Tests require hours of studying, you need to do all of the problems in the book "hundreds" but she prepares you better then anyone else for 3141.

Great professor! Alot of homework that takes alot of time to do, but she states that in the syllabus. Very helpful when you have questions. I'm taking her for 3141 as well. The tests are hard, but you have to study.

I made an A even though I was shooting for a B. Prof is super busy so hard to get her to respond quickly, but she is a professor that cares about your learning. She does give you every chance to make an A as long as you do the work.

Definitely have to work for your grade. She doesn't waste time on students who don't show up to class, so it is to your benefit to attend every class.

she is willing to take time out to help students if your schedules match, which is good because this is quite a difficult class. What was said before about her tests is true, I don't know where the material comes from but its not the book or class sometimes.

Grate and knowledgeable Professor Her tests are straightforward and easy. This course requires lots of time.Professor Graybeal expects you to know the material from ACG 2021.It is impossible to pass this course without some knowledge from previous course.

This is a hard course. She doesn't write a single thing on the board so you have to go along with her at all times. She does provide packets with practice problems for almost every chapter. Make sure to study and practice and you should be able to attain at least a B.

I never comment on here, but this class was the most disciplined I have ever had to be in a class. Not easy by any means, however, if you stay dedicated and put the time in that the class truly deserves, you will do well. Received a B+..she really is a good professor. The grade is just up to you and how determined you are to do well.

The key to be successful is to practice, practice, and practice. If you understand all of handout materials and all of textbook exercises, you are ready to get an A.

This class is not extremely difficult if you keep up with the work and practice. The last two tests are tough, but if you do well on the first two tests (which aren't very difficult) and get close to 100% on the online homework and perdisco project (not hard to do with multiple attempts) then you should be fine. The summer course is time consuming.

People are being unfair. Ms. Graybeal is very helpful. She moves test around if she feels her class isn't ready. She works problems in class and does her best to explain the concepts. She is an active accountant and tries to bring real life experience to the class. She's also prepping you for the CPA exam. Take summer to avoid written exams.

Professor Graybeal is an absolute pleasure. She is very clear on what she expects. She has a sweet heart but she is tough! She really does care for the success of her students and is very helpful. She does give you a study guide and if a topic is on there, LEARN IT! She is not a hard teacher; the subject is difficult so don't expect a breeze!

Though she doesn't take attendance, you would be an idiot to skip this class. Attendance is pertinent to a good grade! She covers heavy test material in class. WILEY PLUS is your FRIEND, do not make it your enemy. Don't procrastinate and make use of the supplemental videos on Wiley chapter sections and you will do great. HW helps you prepare a lot!

I was very hesitant to take her reading prior comments. I'm glad I didn't listen! Prof Graybeal is awesome! You are doing yourself a injustice if you do not take her. She takes your future success very seriously & makes sure you understand the material before she moves on. Attend class and do WileyPlus then you can easily pass this class with a B!

Tough teacher but also tough subject. Ms. Graybeal is worth the time and effort she challenges you with. If you don't get the foundation you'll never get the rest!

Professor Graybeal is the most helpful, and clear teacher on this subject. I have learned so much from her already--have not even completed the class, but can tell if you want to actually "learn" the accounting process this is the professor to choose. Also, she gives real world examples without divulging private client information.

Awesome teacher. Very helpful, very fair, and always willing to meet with students one on one for extra help. The course is very difficult though, but its the material that makes it difficult, not the teacher. Accounting is not easy!

In my opinion, she explains the material really well. She is always willing to help students both inside and outside of the classroom. I will be finishing my undergraduate soon, and she is one of the best professors I have encountered.

Prof. Graybeal is very nice professor. She really is an accounting genius. This class is not easy, but It is not because her. Listen to her advice, if want to do well, you need to take only this class or with a compliment of a 1 credit class--trust me!!! Do not even think in taking this class with GEB 3031 Cornestone!!! 4 Exams, 1 big assig, HWs.

Ms. Graybeal is a very inspiring teacher in my book! Take her, pay attention in class, she has real life experience in the local market and elsewhere. She has traveled and goes to her clients--listen to her lecture and get OFF FB. She gives you the tools to actually succeed in class! Yeahhhhhh! Not usual in this program at this school.

By far the best Professor I have had at UCF. Test are tough but if you study and pay attention to her lecture they are not bad, very do able to get an A! Just do the work and put in the hours.

She has perdisco that is a must do, that is very difficult. Homework is a must and needs to be done to pass. Class is very difficult if you do not attend every class. She is very helpful if you ask. Overall nice professor and will take her again.

This course is much harder than 3131! Wiley homework is still rough and takes awhile to complete. No project so your grade is based on Wiley and 3 exams. I tried taking over Summer and will have to retake this course in the fall. The tests are very difficult and I will need more time to prepare for my next attempt.

Professor Graybeal knows the subject and is willing to give you all the help you want. She has real world experience and that helps. I have been in the accounting field for 20 years and BARELY got my A and this course was probably much easier for me than most. It's not an easy class, but if you want to really learn, take her!!! I loved her.

Professor Graybeal is very knowledgeable, she provides ALL the tools necessary to pass. Her tests were very fair and the examples she provided were and integral part in my success in this class. She assigns only the chapters that will be necessary and provides a clear study guide before each test. If you desire an A, be prepared to read, read....

If you want to actually do accounting, then you need class with Professor Graybeal. She is extremely helpful in not only the class, but also in helping you decide your future career. I took her for ACG3131, ACG3141, and ACG4803 because there is no other teacher I have respect for. Her class is hard, but you feel well prepared leaving her class.

Professor Graybeal is hands down the best accounting teacher I've had. Great ability to break down complex material. Tough tests but she gives you everything you need to succeed including problem sets with full solutions that you need to work and understand. If you are serious about accounting there is no better way to prepare for the real world.

I have never, in my entire life, worked so hard just to get a B in a class. I took this class over summer A. This professor is extremely passionate about accounting and will help you succeed, as long as you attend every class and do everything she posts on the modules. Get ready to read and spend hours doing the Wiley homework.

Go to class! There is a lot of online HW. The bulk of your grade comes from exams. I took it Summer A and it felt rushed, try taking this in Fall. Overall, she requires a lot of work from you but she is so great at teaching the material, its worth it. I'm not even an accounting major and got an A so it is possible. Don't take if you're lazy.

This class is honestly not that hard. If you apply yourself by reading the text and attending class it should not be difficult to earn at least a "B". Professor Graybeal also has extensive experience in the accounting industry, making her lectures very valuable to aspiring CPA's.

Mrs. Graybeal is the best! Honestly i learned a lot from her. She is a great professor cares about the students and teaches the material with real life examples. You will love her!!!

Very knowledgeable professor that's always willing to help. The majority of the negative reviews for difficult classes come from lazy students so take the complaints with a grain of salt. The material is challenging so be willing to work and stay on top of your studying. I took it in just 6 weeks and still pulled off an A, it's not impossible.

This is a very tough class- be prepared to READ and work for it! I have never worked so hard for an A in my life, but it's possible if you put in the work: read the textbook, attend the lectures, do the homework as well as the practice problems she gives you- and go to the TAs! She cares about her students, but expects you to put the work in!

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Graybeal's class. She is no nonsense and very straightforward, but fair, honest, and caring. Uses her personal email to communicate in class and I always received a quick response from her, even late at night or on weekends. She is a master of accounting and it really came across in her class. Very willing to help

Professor Graybeal is an amazing person, and really knows her stuff. Unlike many professors in the accounting department, she's been actually in the field as a licensed CPA (still is) for many years. She gives many real world examples about clients she's worked with. Not an easy class, so work hard for it. Start strong because it gets harder.

This is a super hard class in general but she was able to help by giving a ton of practice problems. If you do not do these problems you won't do well. Her lecture are better if you read before class. Also start studying at least a week before the test to do well.

Her class was pretty difficult, but it would be with any professor (all of of the intermediate accounting classes have the same tests). But her lectures were interesting and helpful, and she did lots of practice problems in class. Her practice problems and notes that she posted to webcourses directly helped on the test. Show up to class for sure.

I really enjoyed Professor Graybeal. She is a really knowledgeable accountant and does a good job TEACHING students how to really understand accounting. Watch her lectures and her example problems and those will help a lot. A lot of Wiley and tests are somewhat difficult but a B is definitely manageable even with average grades on the tests.

hard class but not impossible, must put in work to pass it, you can't be a slacker. Ask questions in class when you don't get it, don't be shy to seem stupid, she can seem rude but she actually cares for you when you show interest in the class. Many people complain it is too hard, but I thinks she is doing us a favor by challenging us in the class

She is the only prof for this class that actually teaches the material well. She took the time to create practice problem packets and detailed example files that helped immensely for exams. She definitely knows what she is talking about and will make sure you understand too, if you ask! Will be taking her from now on, such a great professor!

Not the best lecturer, but those extra practice problems of hers really help.

Was not an easy course, but this was due to the exams created by the accounting dept. Attendance is a must if you want to pass, lectures are packed with info. Professor and TAs available outside of class if you have questions.

Accounting can be a tough subject, but Professor Graybeal does a good job explaining the material. The lectures and practice problems are helpful, and she's available if you need extra support. Unstuckstudy was a useful study tool alongside the textbook.

In class she goes over examples in packets that are really helpful. Make sure to read the book, very influential on the exam. There was never an answer too "dumb" for her to help with in class. Even it if was something we should've known or someone just asked the same thing, she still explained it. In class pop quizzes for extra credit. Shes great.
