Attend the lectures, take notes (she gives out lecture packets), do the homework, ask questions when you need help & you will pass this class. The book was only used for homework assignments. Sheila is very thorough & patient. I found the class to be very easy so long as I was diligent with the assignments.
Sheila is a genius for not using the online program for homework and tests! I've taken ACC 211 2x prior to her class and had to drop both bc profs relied so heavily on that program. Sheila is very thorough and organized in her own notes and lectures making the material very easy to understand. Quizzes and HW due ea. class so attendance is a must!
Great teacher. She is a great teacher and person. Take advantage of her office hours. She is very patient and will take time out of her day to help students who are falling behind. I would recommend taking her if you get the chance.
Great great teacher. she has a great course planning and class organization. you will get an easy A in her class if you complete homework and attend class regularly. highly recommending her.
Sheila is a wonderful teacher! She loves to help if there are ever any questions. There is a lot of work to do, but it's not bad if you study and read all of the chapter assigned. Will recommend her to anyone!
Professor Betz is one of the best instructors I have had throughout my college career. She is dedicated to her job, and is very helpful. The class is simply structured, but with an appropriate challenge. Print lecture notes, attend class and ASK questions, and there is no way you will be left behind! This class motivated me to study accounting!
Sheila is Incredible!! She lets you know what is expected and how you are to be graded. She makes the material easy to understand and even have lecture notes(you must fill in the blanks in class) that make the material so simple. If you have any questions she is always there to help and always have hours available. Take her, you won't be sorry!
Sheila (as she would like for you to call her) is GREAT! I took her online class and she's awesome. Love the recording lecture that she provided every week along with the notes. Always made herself available for additional help if needed. Just study the notes that she provided and you'll do great. I highly recommend Sheila.
Ms. Betz is a great teacher. Her classes are interesting and she explains everything clearly. She does give a lot of homework, but if you go to class, do the homework, and study your notes and homework then you will get an A. She gave 3 projects during the course, with the second project being a term paper, which was not to fun.
She is always talking about this class being the same as a 300 level class, but it isn't. We will not receive 300 level credit. If I wanted to take 300 level classes, I would attend a 4 year school. Why did we buy a book? She only used the book for homework.
I advise you to take this class at another school. Instructor loves to talk about how easy the class is compare to 300 level class at 4 year school. Go teach at a 4 year school or get me 300 level credit. I did OK but wish I had taken the class at Tyler.
Great teacher! Approachable and very helpful! Responds to emails quickly and has plenty of office hours. Class material is structured well. Plenty of opportunities to collect easy points toward an A. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but she goes over it in class thoroughly. Together with her handouts it's all you need to pass the tests well.
Sheila is AWESOME!! She's the best professor EVER!! She makes everything so clear and understandable. She will help you no matter what and she's always available on her office hours. Her lecture notes will help you study. Do the homework and study the notes you will be in great shape! Take her and you'll love accounting and you won't regret it!!
She insisted all assignments were submitted on time, but took her time grading them. I read these reviews of her and wonder if these folks took the same class I did.
I love love love her! She's very straightforward about what her requirements are, homework, quizzes, and tests. If you have questions, she's happy to answer them. Very helpful and always has available office hours for questions outside of class. Don't take her for an easy A, take her if you want to do the work and earn the A.
Sheila makes accounting make sense and really wants her students to do well. Grades homework for completeness which is a great grade booster if you do it. She is very accessible and wants you to reach out for help. If you want to, you can do well in her course with effort and attendance. Clear lectures with lots of examples.
Loved this teacher! She truly shows care and concern for each and every student, striving to assist in any way possible. Part teacherpart counselor, she shows interest in not only your understanding of the material but in your future educational plans. She is fair-minded, offers lots of individual help, extended office hours, and CONNECTS!
tough grader/poor instructor
poor instructor. that's the bottom line. does a poor job
not a good instructor
Ms. Betz expects her students to work hard to earn a grade. She will go above and beyond to help you succeed in the class, but the student must take the do his/her part. If you are hard working and willing to "roll up the sleeves" you will do well in her class. Ms. Betz prepares you for 4 year colleges.
Sheila Betz is an amazing teacher. She is organized, well prepared, and has the entire semester planned out. Homework can be excessive but its the best way to learn the material. Don't expect extra credit because it is only given once or twice but if you need help, she is willing to help.
Straight forward professor. She lets you know what is expected upfront. Come to class, participate, complete homework, get help if needed, do all of this and you should have no trouble passing the class.
Sheila is one of the best professors at Reynolds! She is always there if you need help. This class will actually teach you how to do accounting, everything we learn your going to use later. You can go to her for help with any of the assignments. If you do the work, there is no reason not to get an A. I HIGHlY recommend her for accounting!!!
Sheila is fantastic! She really makes accounting easy! If you show up and and pay attention you will learn a lot. I took away so much from her class and feel more prepared for when I transfer and take upper level Accounting courses.
Very good instructor. She uses the book to supplement her instruction, so you are not stuck reading the book and attempting the homework without help. She explains everything clearly. Be prepared to do homework. In order for you to learn accounting, you have to do some homework. She keeps her office hours, so if you need help, she is there.
Greater professor. She is always willing to help you with homework. She is very approachable. Does not use the book, so you do not have to spend hours reading about what some PhD who has no clue how to teach. She does give homework, and yes you must go to class, but if you go to class and do the homework, you will be successful in her class.
This was my first class in accounting. I was worried about accounting. Everything I have ever heard about accounting was that it sucks. This teacher is great. She explains things well. You have to do homework and attend class. If you look at her reviews, almost everyone who gave her a bad review did not do well in the course. Attend class!
She is one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had. She wants you to come to her for help, and I love that she actually wants us to comprehend the material. She embodies, in my opinion, the true definition of a professor. I wish I could take her for all of my math classes.
She is a very good and understandable teacher, she makes the subject look easy. She should give advice to other teachers on how to teach.
Great class and great instructor. She presents course material in a clear manner. Do homework, participate in class, and study. If you are an accounting major, you need to take her. After the class is over, you will be well versed in accounting.
it's not easy to study in her class. You should do assignment. She makes sure her students understand everything. She is really nice
Took notes, quizzes were announced ahead of time, and grading was fine. Do the homework, pay attention, and study and you will get the grade you want. You are going to have to work for it.
tough grader , perhaps the toughest grader on planet earth
She has a solid way of getting the information across. She has recorded lectures and examples for everything. She gives a lot of homework. Do not fall behind because you will fail. She will at times take a while to respond to your questions, like she never responded to the response I sent her for the final exam after she responded the first time.
Makes info. clear and understandable. Her quizzes can be slightly too difficult. I had a BIG issue with the way she makes students present homework problems 3 times each. I think it should be once, because students often had the wrong answers and or had sloppy work, which was confusing. I think this did more harm than good. I do recommend Betz.
super difficult super tough grader
Awful teacher. Lots of HW. Accounting isn't even my major and she gives a TON of work. Expect to read a lot, write a lot, and do a LOT of work. Will never take again even if only teacher available. Not worth putting GPA on the line. Extremely tough grader. DO NOT TAKE!
Professor Betz is amazing! I enjoyed her class very much although i do not recommend to take this class if you have a busy scheduled because you do have to put in the work in order to pass the class. But that is because of the course not the teacher, shes great.
I loved this professor but the work was pretty difficult. She was only a harsh grader on the projects that you can do with a partner. I went to her office hours a lot and she's super helpful. You also must show up to class so you don't fall behind.
Great teacher. Really knows her material but on the other hand the class is extremely tough. if you have a busy schedule try taking someone else because there are quizzes every week on top of a lot of homework. there were also 3 projects assigned as well. she is very strict on grading but she is always willing to help
I had very few issues with this class, honestly nothing worth mentioning. Betz is very enthusiastic about accounting and obviously loves her subject. I took ACC117 online and for this course you will have required weekly homework and video lectures. If you keep up with the work - it shouldn't be hard to get a good grade. Optional help labs.
Shelia is one of my favorite professors and she is always willing to go above and beyond to help a student.
If youre have a busy schedule, then shes not the right person for you. Also, to make sure to read earlier reviews.
Sheila is the best accounting teacher. I took her for ACC 211 and loved her, so I signed up for her again for 212. The material is hard, but she will work with students to help and make sure we understand. Lots of homework and quizzes, but the quizzes and test look like the notes and homework. She makes the class fun and interesting.
I am awful at Accounting but Professor Betz made things easy to understand. There is alot of material to cover so if you miss class you will fall behind. HW is weekly not daily so you have plenty of time to complete it. Projects can be done alone or in groups of two for the most part. Projects are given 3-4 weeks ahead of the due date.
Shelia is my favorite professor, and she is always willing to go above and beyond to help her students to excel in their majors. Best of the Best!
You will have to work and do all the homework to fully understand the course. It can be difficult but she does offer help. One major thing that stresses me out is not knowing your grades on 3 major projects that you did throughout the semester. It has been months and still not graded so not sure what grade youre going to get can be stressful.
Took her online class - she takes forever to respond to emails & even LONGER TO GRADE ASSIGNMENTS! Notes/HW are a piece of cake compared to her exams. I'll give her props for her weekly lectures that she posts on youtube. I'm not great at acct. & barely passed the class, but if this was my only class I would have done better; she's a decent teacher
tough grader, pop quizzes. betz ew . eww
Betz is horrible!! I took an online summer course so I could self pace. She doesn't allow you to self pace and have to do everything week by week no earlier. She doesn't even post the work at the right time so you can forget making a schedule for yourself. She's completely unpredictable and almost impossible to get a response from via email.
not good
tough grader. lecture heavy. graded by few thing. certainly not good, way not good. not recommended to take professor
get ready to study textbook leading up to test only to find out the stuff on the test is mostly different from book professor puts some very obscure stuff on test was so weird very weird so true class did not like it and neither did i , the accounting 211 with this prof not good definitely not so good was obvious that prof not good at all
hey maybe like a 1 out of 5 or like a 1.5 outta 5 maybe not gonna take this prof next semester will take different accounting professor
meh . me not take this prof again. been showing up in every class not liked this prof
One of the best Professors I've taken at Jsarg. She will help you after class if you didn't understand the material she went over to help you better understand.
yea was in 211 and it was so not good with this professor wow . so not good
Professor Betz is a very organized professor that helped make accounting very easy to understand. Her tests are difficult but if you do the homework and pay attention in class you should succeed. She is always available during her office hours. One of the beat professors I've ever had.
lecture heavy
few things graded
class was taken for credit
sent email no response back , obscure lecture
Class was disorganized and teacher inconsistent in her rounding. Notes provided have errors. Info/Quizzes were mixed up, like quiz for one week might actually need info from future week. Not self paced, you are only allowed to complete each weeks work on the assigned week. Able to pass by going through the motions, but don't feel learned much.
tests not based on textbook ,
overall noticeably disorganized. mandatory attendance with very heavy lecture.
withdrew/dropped
signed up for accounting 211 with different professor now
Very obvious disorganization issues going on with class. This can be cleaned up and made more organized. Class incomplete and dropped.
Forced to withdraw from accounting course 211. Tests have nothing to do with actual textbook for course. Forced to withdraw.
so, why do the tests have nothing to do with what is covered in textbook ? . . why such heavy lectures. ? Participation didnt even matter, it seemed . Paid real monies for this class
well it was a jumbled class, cluttered criteria this acc class was obviously not planned properly
The professor clearly laid out all expectations of class, the work and grading. She was extremely helpful and if you had questions and needed help, she would spend great detail to get you in track. She is very knowledgeable in this subject and helpful.
always behind on grading
This class was ok. One of the major problems I had with this class was how there was WAY too much work assigned for this class. Felt like I was just doing busy work not learning anything. She was a great person though and I wouldn't say the class was too difficult at all. Again, my only complaint is the workload. Way too much.
I JUST DON'T RECOMMEND HER, TAKE CLASSES FROM ALAN FOSTER!! HE IS AMAZING
I highly recommend prof. Betz. The teaching style was focused on understanding the material and be able to apply it later in our career. It was appropriate challenging for growth. She was readily available for help after class. Most of all I liked the final project. Not easy, but she guided us clearly, and put everything we 've learned together.
Professor Sheila Betz is one of my favorite professors. I don't know why someone would give her negative feedback. Her lectures are beneficial and she is funny. You will never get bored of her lectures.
Don't take the class, choose another professor, the average test scores were 50%, and no curve.
This is my third class with Professor Betz, she is a great teacher. She provided multiple ways of learning the material which is rare in online classes. She provides videos of her teaching the subject matter as well as interactive tutorials. She is always available for help. She does take some time to grade projects. Highly recommend
her classes are no longer convenient to take, which is especially frustrating when you take only fully online courses. you can no longer do tests on your own when it's supposed to be asynchronous. they are now *live-proctored* and scheduled, when it didn't used to be that way as she decided to change the way she does her course last minute.
Don't take her, the exams are proctored on zoom and TAKE 3 HOURS TO FINISH.
Prof is unpredictable, her online coursed were supposed to be asynchronous. So why am I in a zoom last few weeks for the exams? Didn't used to be that way.
I loved Professor Betz. I wasn't going to do any reviews but felt the need to shout her out on a good review. I loved the way she taught and I actually got something out of her class. I always feared accounting as it was supposed to be super hard but after taking her class I am super interested in accounting. Do not be afraid to take this class!!
Never had I ever wanted to crash out so bad after taking a class before. The exams screwed me over they're nothing like the homework's or assignments given to us.
don't take this class, just pick another professor. any other professor is better than her.
Not only are the exams proctored by lockdown browser but also through zoom, which is odd. I feel like it should be one or the other both at the same time is pointless and feels overwhelming to me. She also doesn't respond to messages in a timely manner. The notes sometimes don't add up to the assignment's solutions which makes those useless.
She is so nice but just not very good at online teaching. I struggled both times I took a class of hers. She is the only class I can not manage to do well in. She seems to be a better in person teacher than online. She is more organized this semester but last she was late on posting assignments and seemed to be unorganized. I don't recommend her.
Do not recommend her, awfully. Exam on zoom + lockdown browser + webcam, 3 exams just only 3 hours and thats for 5 CHAPTERS
Not very responsive Slow grader Not that engaging Exams are proctored oddly
Great teacher, but just a lot of homework, and very exam-heavy. If you do badly on the exam, there's no coming back; your homework and quizzes are pointless. SO STUDY! Exams are watching you, and she's watching you. Also, if you mess up one thing, you just messed up everything else, so double-check yourself.
