Shelley is an AMAZING teacher. She is hilarious and makes accounting fun. People who complain are those that don't study and have no desire to learn. You get the grade you deserve. Exams are fair, and she gives you a lot of practice problems. She actually makes you understand the material which will help you if you're gonna work in finance

I ended up with an A- but would have gotten an A if I missed 1 less Q on her final. I'm crossing my fingers for a curve, but she hasn't given one on the other exams. She did curve in 3171..

I took shelly for 3171, it was a good class all in all. The book cost $20 that needed to be printed at targetcopy (thanks for saving us money shelly). Her class is straight up, dont miss a video or a lecture - not a smart move. I watched her videos at 2x speed every time. She makes a lot of mistakes on her lectures and her voice is annoying.
