Dr. Stanwick is not very friendly at first, but she is kind of nice. she walks into class with a chip on her shoulder. her tests are ridiculously hard, like she's trying to be hard just to be hard. choose another teacher, i hated this class.

Awful teacher. She rambles about absolutely nothing and every time somebody gets up to leave she scolds the rest of the class who is still there. She is one of the most confusing people I have ever tried to listen to. Don't take this class if you can avoid it.

Is a really smart person, but cannot explain things at all..the slides she uses don't match the way she teaches so its extremely confusing. Basically, she's horrible.

She gives you problems to work out and get you ready for the exam, but surprises you with a format unseen before when it comes time for the test. I already hated accounting, but she makes me hate it worse. Avoid if at all possible.

The most confusing teacher I've had at Auburn. She is very scatter-brained and often overlaps & contradicts herself. The way she teaches is inconsistent with the book and her slides. Her grading is equally as confusing. Trying to get a clear message from the 3-4 emails she sends at a time is difficult as well.

Dr. Stanwick is a dumpster fire of a teacher. She rambles about her family, she constantly is correcting previously recorded answers, and worst of all, she has no clear guidance for completing the various problems she gives out. This class is not supposed to be too difficult, however her pathetic attempt at lecturing makes it overtly difficult.

She is a terrible teacher. I have never been so lost in a class and the material is not that difficult. She literally just does not teach it. Good luck you paid alot of money just to teach yourself this class.

You will leave class more confused than when you came. She must have some sort of telepathy because her scatterbrainedness transfers to all her students every class period. No one knows what's going on at all. If you like staring at a projector for an hour, contemplating how you're going to totally wing the next test, then this class is for you.

Dr Stanwick is the most scatter brained professor I have ever had. She is terrible at teaching the material in class and continuously messes up, but if you go to office hours she knows how to do the problems and can teach you. Be sure to text her with questionsshe replies there before any email you ever send her. Good luck

Stanwick was the most scatterbrained teacher Ive ever had. She doesnt teach in class! No she just tells you all about her life story and brings in random speakers that take up class time. She barely ever goes over anything and when she does she makes it ten times more difficult than it needs to be. Be prepared to learn everything by your self.

If you are an accounting major and wanting to understand the material, do not take her! You will leave the class more confused. If you are not an accounting major, you can get by and just probably won't learn anything with no harm. I would suggest just getting the book and teaching yourself. It will make more sense that way. Try not to take her tho

Dr. Stanwick's class is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. She is a very sweet and caring person but the way she teaches the material is like deciphering a different language. She does give a ton of extra credit so an A is very possible and at least a B is very very likely, but the problem is sticking with it the whole semester

Dr. Stanwick is super sweet, but is not a great teacher. Class is basically just filling out worksheets together, which do not help on tests. Definitely read the book & do those problems. I FAILED the first test hard but still ended up with a B in the class thanks to extra credit. But she also heavily scaled our tests during the quarantine

Extremely disorganized, syllabus was a working document and not a final agreement, unclear grading criteria or rubric for final project, cannot explain simple cost accounting concepts without complicating the material usually, will not respond to simple emails as this is not the method of communication she prefers and subtweet message in Canvas

don't take her.

Do not take her for accounting. Tests are very hard and not the same as her study guides. She spends half of class talking about her kids or bragging about having a doctorate. Project has nothing to do with the class at all.

By far the worst professor I've had at Auburn. I attend class, take notes, do problems from the book & still failed her test. She rambles in class & tests look nothing like the class lectures. She can never figure out how to use the projector & genuinely thinks she's the best professor at auburn. & she wonders why people leave class early..

She talks for 30 minutes before every lecture about random stuff. She thinks she does an excellent job teaching material, however, it is the complete opposite.

Let me start by saying I am a 4.0 student and work very hard for my grades. Dr. Stanwick has been hands down the worse professor that I have ever had. She is a sweet lady and I know she cares but she is a horrible professor. She doesn't teach you anything and assumes you just know things when you don't. I honestly hate her class.

Stanwick is by far the worst professor that I have had at Auburn. She comes into class with a negative and whiney attitude pretty much everyday. She is subpar at best at explaining material during lectures and very often side tracks on things that don't matter. She takes 10-15 mins to start talking about material after her daily complaining. AVOID

This is hands down the worst teacher i have ever had at Auburn university, first 30 min of lectures talks about random things then her lectures make 0 sense. scatterbrained is an under statement. get ready to teach yourself before every exam. class average on first exam was a 60.5.

Her exam practice problems and exam reviews make it seem so much easier than it actually is. Her exams are 10x harder and 10x different than anything we went over in class. Its almost as if she wants us to fail her class. Worst professor I have ever had at Auburn.

DO NOT TAKE. She is the WORST professor I have had in my 4 yrs at Auburn. Her lectures make no sense and her "test reviews" are nothing like the test. She blames her mistakes on her students. You can't read her handwriting. Her tests are nothing like her class. She leaves you more confused than you were before class. Absolutely HORRIBLE experience.

She is by far the worst professor at auburn that I have ever had. We have taken 2 exams so far and the class average was an F on both exams! All her power points are directly from the book. I am typically a great student and try to never complain, but she is truly terrible, do not take her class!

4.0 student here... worse teacher I have ever had. She spends 20 min of the class talking about things that do not even matter, which would probably honestly be more helpful than her even trying to teach. Everything she tries to explain does not tie well together and you will leave more confused than you started with. Auburn, you can do better...

Dr. Stanwick thinks she is teaching graduate accounting students. She rambles in the beginning of class and just skims over the slides she copied from the textbook, which is no help because he tests are 110x harder than everything you study and are taught. She gives extra credit opportunities, but it's still not enough. DO NOT TAKE at all costs.

Dr. Stanwick is by far the worst accounting teacher I have ever had. Firstly this class is impossible to get a good grade in when the tests are pulled from a test bank that she does even bother to read before giving. Which makes this class hard because the tests are the vast majority of your grade. Managerial Accounting shouldn't be this hard.

Auburn should fire this woman. Worst professor I have ever had. Get ready to do a project using LEGOs and get graded insanely hard on it. Tests make no sense and are way harder than anything you will practice doing. No one should be subjected to this. Do not take.

There should be an overall scale given to every student this semester that had to take this class with this sorry excuse for a teacher. This is Auburn University, how is there not a better teacher to teach this class. Unfair to the hundreds of students with now botched gpa's. Just read the comments below...

This is the hardest class that I have ever taken in my entire life and it shouldnt have been. I would constantly leave class feeling more confused than when I got there. She rambles on and on at the begging of class for no reason. Her tests are hard and the review sessions provide little to no insight on what or how to study. DONT TAKE!!!!

She literally sucks at explaining

Worst professor I've had at Auburn. After taking Accounting I and II in high school I feel awful for the students in this course, she can't even successfully teach the fundamentals of AL+SE and jumps right into rigorous content. If I was an employer in the accounting industry I would not hire graduates that had this woman as a "teacher"

I can genuinely say I have never struggled with a teacher so much. I heard managerial accounting was easier than financial and the concepts seemed like they were however I could not understand anything bc of Dr. Stanwick. Everyone in the class failed, spare yourself and take any other teacher. Auburn, do better, she does not deserve to teach here.

She clearly doesnt understand the material shes teaching and in class students have answered questions that other students have asked when she couldnt, youre better off learning from reading the textbook. Shes genuinely not a good teacher and if at all possible avoid her at all costs.

She was very nice but as a professor was not very good. Majority of the class she did not teach and graded test and project very hard. If it was not for the final project and the final, I would not have passed, I do not recommend.

This lady has no business teaching an intro class

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! This is the worst professor in the accounting department. The test questions were NOTHING like any of the study/lecture material. I hit the books really hard for the first exam and still failed. The average was in the 50's. Literally, take anyone else.

AVOID! Im in her 12:30 class and we are over month into the class and we have had 4 in person classes so far, one of which was a guest speaker. When she decides not to come teach, she posts her "make up" lectures whenever she wants. She walks into class super unprepared on what she is going to teach and the canvas is super unorganized. DONT TAKE!!!

HORRIBLE! super unorganized and just all over the place. Doesn't explain material well and makes her students participate in activities that literally has nothing to do with managerial accounting.

WORST TEACHER EVER! she spends more time yelling at students who go to the restroom than teaching, assigns random things that have nothing to do with the class. she does give extra credit, which you will need 100% of to pass the class. most of her answers she gives is for the problem are wrong and we have to figure it out ourselves. DONT TAKE HER!

We have been in school for a month and a half and have only had a handful of classes. Her notes are sloppy and difficult to follow and she abbreviates almost everything you need to know. She has also started getting extremely mad at students for leaving class even if it is to use the bathroom. Overall just difficult to follow notes, reviews.

Wouldn't take under any circumstances. Class attendance is not mandatory but is just about useless to go. There is either a guest speaker that has nothing to do with acct or she goes over problems that she expects you to learn yourself. I would have been fine with a reverse teaching style but she does not even give any resources to teach yourself.

Absolutely do not take this teacher. The worst professor I have ever seen in my life. She does not teach and is more concerned with having guest speakers than teaching the information. She is extremely rude when asking questions as well. Unless you are good at teaching this class too yourself with no help or guidance do not take.

Dr. Stanwick is a nice person but an absolutely awful professor. Her lectures are nonsensical, and she doesn't bother teaching the basic concepts of the material, so you essentially have to teach yourself. Additionally, she brings in unrelated guest speakers and comes off as petty and unprofessional in class. Definitely avoid if possible.

The only thing "inspiring" about this professor is her dedication to a mandatory "volunteer" event. This is all she talks about in class throughout the semester. Besides this, in lectures, she rambles the majority of the class instead of teaching. If you enjoy teaching yourself a subject, look no further!

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! I'm a 4.0 student who tries to find the best in every class but this class is the absolute worst. The only things you're graded on are a few tests, a lego project, and a volunteer project. You have to teach yourself everything. She is disorganized, and you leave her room more confused than before you came. Hardest class ever.

Just absolutely terrible. I would rather have to take an extra semester than have to take her again. The lectures made me more confused and I had to teach the material to myself. She also gets on you for going to the bathroom lol. I could write a longer paper about how bad she was than what I learned in class. Just DON'T take her, whatever you do.

While she's a nice lady, I wouldn't recommend her to ANYONE. She is more focused on outside projects than giving us a worked-out study guide. The course is generally hard, but it should not be as difficult as it is with her. There is no homework and the tests are extremely hard. If you can take anyone else but her-please do. If not, good luck.

This is one of the most least understanding and outright rude teachers I have ever taken. Her class itself is very challenging and do not worry about going to class because it will hurt you more than it will help you. She is extremely rude when communicating and not very understanding that not everyone is a managerial accounting wizard.

I cannot say enough bad things about this class. She is rude, unprofessional, and disorganized. I had to teach myself everything. Tests are impossible. The only reason I am passing is because of extra credit. Projects have nothing to do with accounting. Literally, take anyone else. This is the worst class I have ever taken. AVOID HER!

If you don't go to class you won't pass. While attendance is not mandatory for this course, halfway through the semester it was decided that if you leave class early without emailing her beforehand, she would end the lecture. Has a very strict calculator policy (but will not actually tell you the exact calculator to buy). No uploaded notes.

Take advantage of all the extra credit opportunities. I didn't even bother going to class halfway through the semester because she doesn't teach you the material and half the time just rambles about random stuff. The note packets she gives out are terrible but the textbook is very helpful. Tests are very hard. Also makes you do dumb projects.

Professor Stanwick did not teach anything during her class period. Very unorganized and you will have to teach yourself the class. She gave opportunities for easy credit to make up for the class failing the tests. But save yourself stress and do not take her class.

Legitimately the worst professor I have ever taken. I wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy. I'm happy she retired and that nobody ever has to take a course from this woman ever again.
