Hard class. Lots of Work. You will have tons of hw on wileyplus, as well as many quizzes on moodle2. Not sure if i should have taken her or another accounting teacher.

This class could have been better. Think there should have been less quizzes and hw so I could get some time for my other classes and to be able to study. Not a great experience in this class.

After missing only 5 Wiley assignments, out of 50 something, my grade dropped significantly due to how they were weighted individually. Keep up with the hw, do the quizzes using your book, and actually try on the clicker questions.

Awesome instructor! Very helpful and nice to each of her sections. She taught most chapters very thoroughly and exams were easy if you studied. She does clicker questions every class so attend. Its a lot of HW and Quizzes but it definitely helps come exam time. I got an high B.

Professor Yarbrough cares a lot about her students. Be prepared for a giant amount of homework though. Show up to class, do your homework, and study and you should do great in her class.

She loves her students and she loves to teach. The homework, tests, and quizzes were challenging. You best bet is to actually read the book and take good notes. Uses clicker. You have to give the class a lot of time or you will fail. Gives a cushion of points at the end of the semester. Still you have to study your tail off for it.

Professor Yarbrough is a professor who actually knows how to teach. That's a rare commodity these days. Her class is a lot of work and there is a lot of homework, but every piece of it is important. If you slack, you will fall behind and start getting bad grades. If you work ahead and pay attention, then you won't have any problem at all.

This lady is the best the Accounting department has to offer. If you fail this class it is because you did not try. She assigns a lot of work but you really need that amount to learn the material. The math part is easy but the concepts make the subject hard.

Wouldn't take again

Lectures are unorganized, and easily side tracked. The exams have very specific questions to the unit. Overall the labs, exams, and lectures are very unorganized.
