DO NOT TAKE WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! HAS NO PLAN FOR LECTURES WINGS THE WHOLE CLASS AND GIVES MIDTERMS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH CLASS CONTENT. CLASS AVERAGE WAS A FAILING GRADE AND SHE COULD NOT CARE LESS. DO NOT TAKE I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!
An amazing professor that actually cares about her students. Teaches you interview skills, and accounting basics, and even goes beyond to make sure her students are doing well. Truly one of the best professors I've come across at UCSB, one of the few gems within the accounting department. Coincidence she's the most qualified as well? Nope, 10/10
teaching is just an emphasis of memorization tactics and generic rules. She doesnt teach the thought process/rationale behind these rules or concepts. Leads to a feeble understanding of accounting & a terrible foundation for an intro course. Gonna be terrible when ppl get into a class where they have to actually understand these concepts in depth
Shes so nice but basically just reads off her slides that have the most basic examples, so she doesnt really 'teach'. Her 'explanations' are really just a regurgitation of quick rules - ie "this note discounted, why? because this chart says if __ then it's a discount" which doesnt explain the actual concept and makes it hard to apply to to test Qs
I just signed up an account on this web to warn all the students who intend to take her class for online classes. she is by far the most horrible teacher I have ever met. She is so unprofessional and her lecture is so clear on the basic problem and super obscure on the main problem(which are tested). Do not take her class if you can!!
She still has a curve during the pandemic even though the average on the test is a 90%
Took Grover for both 136A and 137A and she is a fantastic professor. She provides loads of real world examples and goes through the slides very well. If youre behind, going to her office hours helped out loads. Her tests are reasonable and she cares about everyones career beyond UCSB. Favorite professor at UCSB so far and learnt loads.
Try taking other profs. She is very new and has no idea how to teach. Makes way too many mistakes for an accountant. school still has a post on handshake to hire an accounting instructor so they even know how bad she is
Best professor ever! She is very patient and caring. Took her Econ 136 A & C and both got really good grade. As long as you attend the lecture, go to her office hour with questions, read the book, and do practice question, you will be get good grade.
No practice tests, cannot understand how we were supposed to study with just hw and lecture materials
Professor Grover is amazing! She's relatively new to teaching but that doesn't seem like a problem. Her class is straight-forward and fast-paced, as with her style of teaching since she came from the corporate world. Regardless, 136A is a tough class so be ready to study and do HW on a DAILY basis. Go to OH if you want your name remembered!
Professor Grover is honestly the best professor I have ever had. She is very caring and if you have any questions at she will answer them clearly and concise. Also, go to her office hours she gives hints on tests and she can help you with any material you struggle with. I wish she was teaching 136 B and 136 C. Definitely recommend her for professor
Best Professor! Shes caring and nice. I got an F on the 1st midterm, but I end up with a B overall. She helps me a lot in class and office hour. Shes the BEST!
Grover was very nice, she seems to care about her students. She can be very helpful in office hours. Her lectures were a bit unorganized, she often lost my attention by taking too much time on an example that was elementary compared to the Wiley HW. Her tests were fair. I learned more in section and from doing the HW then attending lecture.
Prof. Grover is great! She actually takes the time to get to know her students and you feel like she really cares. Best accounting professor I've had at UCSB
Super smart lady, you get what you put into it.
She knows what she's talking about
She's the best professor ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She lectures well and has a lot of experience and it shows in lectures. I had her Winter 2023 and enjoyed her class as it was very straight forward. There are weekly quizzes and she assigns a hundred optional questions. Highly recommend doing all 100 questions a week as they are extremely close to the quiz questions. Overall not a bad course
Professor Grover is a fantastic professor among other lecturers from Econ Dept. For 137A, it is easy to get above A if you put some work into it, by really understanding the materials. Haters gon' hate, but you can earn 40% of your total grade by doing HW and up to 5% EC with attendance. Be ready for the weekly practice (helpful but dreaded).
She just expects you to put in so much damn time on this one class while you have other stuff and other classes to worry about. The homework takes 1-2.5 hours and then you have the weekly quizzes which are cheggable but they are chosen from a database of 100 questions for each chapter and for the final you gotta know your stuff so you can't finesse
Excellent professor who really cares about her students. She did a great job of explaining tough information in a concise way and made sure we understood her. I felt very comfortable to ask questions or talk to her after class if I was confused on anything.
She keeps teaching to the point and is excellent at making the theories practical. The gaucho space is very organized with all the needed resources to succeed in this class.
Prof. Grover is an exceptional teacher who genuinely cares for her students. Her unique approach to the accounting curriculum includes a group project that fosters connections among classmates. The homework and tests are straightforward, so long as one studies, and the course is well-organized. Highly recommend!
