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!

Grover is not a bad professor, but she sure does like assigning wayyyyy to many concepts on Connect. Her assignments are averaging roughly around 60 concepts, whereas other econ professors only assign about 30 concepts on Connect. In other words, be prepared to spend countless hours on Connect.

Prof Grover is a really nice one. She got a lot of extra credit for students and give you a lot of practices for quizzes and final. Participation is not mandatory but you can learn a lot from the lectures and sections. There will be 2 group projects, start earlier could be helpful and do a lot of practices.

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

Portfolio presentations were fun. The guest judges cared about your rationale.
