Would always call on people in class randomly and put you on the spot. Lectures are unorganized. Went over a chapter in the last class before the final in 7 minutes. Mostly graded on exams. For an elective class, this was definitely not worth it and should be so much easier. I spent more time on this class than my other accounting classes.

If you are a major introvert and skip lectures, this class is not for you. She averages a pop quiz every two weeks (relatively easy) and randomly calls on people to answer simple questions. She is also very kind and patient. 2 midterms and final. The project takes 2-3 hours and is pretty easy if you know what you're doing. Very useful class.

You need to teach yourself a lot in this class. I primarily self-studied everything. She barely teaches you the topics on the exams and her lectures are all over the place. She's also known to not curve any class even though this is an elective class, which is usually curved a lot. 80% of your grade are exams. Nice person but beware of her classes.

Nice as a person but this class was an absolute MESS! Went through 2 ENTIRE chapters the lecture RIGHT BEFORE midterm and another chapter right before the final. The exams also don't entirely cover what's taught in class AND there is NO curve in her courses! I really wanted to enjoy this class, but I didn't. AVOID THIS CLASS, TAKE ANOTHER ELECTIVE!

Her lecture is really helpful in terms of helping students understand the content. She does ramdonly pick students to answer her questions but I think it's a good way of keeping up withe the content. Midterms and Final wasn't bad at all. Start early on the tax return and you will be good!

Prof Russel is awesome! She really encourages you to actually understand the material by calling on people during class. It isn't targeted tho and she is really patient. There are pop quizzes, but they are usually really easy or based on worksheets she gave the class before. She will give hints if she is going to have a pop quiz.
