Tietz is a nice lady. She's very helpful, easy to understand, and as long as you show up to class, you're guarenteed to get a good grade. (She also offered extra credit twice this semester). The class is expensive with the clickers though, so I'd find a friend who took it last semester and offer to buy his/her textbook.

She gives you practice exams with the answers which is almost identical to the actual exams, just with different numbers. You can also bring a notecard. However, the final was close to impossible. I had a B the whole year but bombed the final and ended up with a C. Attendance is a must because the clicker points add up to more than a test grade.

Wendy is perf! I took Accounting with her online and it was easy, you definitely had to work for a good grade, but it was easy. There was homework due every Saturday night, 3 exams, the final and an extra credit assignment that added 2% to your final grade. She was always available for help and she is sooo nice!!

You get graded in the class for your participation during her lectures with answering the daily quiz questions. Each exam has 5 practice exams that generate some of the exact questions on the actual exam. Study from these practice exams and the tests are simple to complete.

I took Intro to Financial Accounting with Professor Tietz. Overall she is a nice professor. She cares about her students and teaches well. The class itself is not super difficult, but there is a TON of homework. There are assignments due every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, that take at least an hour to complete. The exams are also slightly hard.

Professor Tietz is by far the best professor that Ive had! She gives easy step by step instructions. Lots of assignments throughout each week but you will learn a lot. She is kindhearted ad very thorough. Even if you are not a business major, Youll still learn a ton of valuable information that you can apply to your daily life. Take this course!!

Dr. Tietz is probably the most thorough online professor I have ever had. She knows how to teach online, which is more than I can say for any of my other profs. She responds quickly and is decently lenient with late work. I have received one or two condescending emails from her, but she still is dedicated to teaching her students.
