There is no plus and minus grade. I screwed up one exam and it is either get a 96+ on the final for an A or get 63-95 for a B. So it is either study very hard or not study.

She made me hate internal auditing, and I never want to go through this career route ever because of this class. Really tough professor. Instructions for the assignments are not clear, and she will take off points because you followed her unclear instructions, saying it is not detailed enough. Don't take this unless you love group projects.

She is extremely kind and understanding with her students. I noticed other reviewers have complained about the layout of her modules, however, there is a reason she does it that way. Mainly because of the SUA. She does a great job explaining material and encourages you to ask her questions. My only complaint is there is little feedback on exams.

Professor Tandy is an amazing, sweet, caring professor, she help me learn a lot about managerial accounting and explains very clearly. The test are similar to the homework and some questions were a bit challenging. I recommend watching the videos and do everything else to not fall behind.

Be prepared to teach yourself. This is an in-person class but with the number of times that this class was canceled it is barely even a hybrid. Personally, I need a professor to explain something clearly or at least give me the resources. She does not teach. She has more guest speakers than actual lectures.

She is a very nice person but not a very good professor. I felt like I'm teaching the material by myself. The SUA was a nightmare and from A it took me to B. I didn't feel much guidance and had to figure out things alone and it wasn't easy. I could have given this 3 for difficulty but because of the way, I learned the material I gave it 5.

A nice person, but you're literally going to teach yourself. Exams are terribly difficult, the major project is extremely confusing and the study guides are vague, bunch of unnecessary guest speakers. Barely lectures, it's usually posted online, and out of 2 days she usually had class only on one, even though the class was fully in person.

She is a nice lady, but not fair at all. She doesn't teach anything in her class sections and every week she cancels her classes. I am very disappointed that I had to take my acc 400 with her and I studied really hard to learn on my own even though wasnt easy. She doesn't teach and expects you to know everything on her exams.

Be prepared to learn on your own! She doesn't teach anything in her classes. I paid alot of money to take this course for A and I ended up with C. I had nightmare on her class. No tutaring and extra help! She cancels her classes all the time and even she doesn't, you still dont learn anything. Unfortunately, she made me to hate Accounting.

Lectures are short and to the point. Minimal homework (usually 1 to 2 problems so they don't do much to help your grade). Several extra credit opportunities. Highly recommend setting up a chat for your class for when the SUA project comes up cause you're going to want to collaborate. Exams were pretty easy.

Great and easy class to take over Summer; however, among my peers, this experience was varied... Very test heavy grading criteria (~80% of grade) so expect to do well in exams or risk failing the class. A couple extra credit opportunities were provided. Content that was covered in the lectures were on the exam and practice is key to passing.

I could have studied the material and taught myself. She is too eager to mentor. This was stifling. But I earned the best grade possible, due to my independence, drive, and commitment. It had little to do with her guidance.

She cares a lot about professionalism and networking. Other than that, the class was very boring and tedious. Everything covered in this class was already covered in ACC 200.

Near-perfect professor and near-perfect course in my opinion. The course-long group project is immersive. It is a bit demanding but the tasks you need to carry out are spaced out very well. Her lectures are clear and concise. Exams are mix of multiple-choice and written answers. I recommend Tandy for this course 100%!

I thought Prof. Tandy's class was easy, but you just need to attend all of the events listed. They can be kind of tedious, but nothing too difficult. The homework was pretty easy and she gave helpful comments on my assignments. A textbook is required for the second part of the class. She lets you use a notecard on the exams.

Professor Tandy covers the material quickly, but the exams are quite challenging. While the lectures can be dry, the SUA project is a helpful study tool. Using resources like ChatGPT and Unstuckstudy made the class more manageable.

Class was hybrid & you had to show up for points. Pushed hard on “what recruiters want” & created weird expectations in students heads. Felt like she taught about career readiness based on how she would hire vs how actual accountants would. Not much homework and tests are okay
