Comment:
Was great for basic tax: clear, organized. HARD EXAMS. Int'l taxation was excrutiating: like sliding down a giant razor blade (the term) then landing in an ocean of aftershave (final exam). Horridly unclear. Very nervous/neurotic even. Gets upset at smallest stuff. But so willing to help you if you ask. Would not take another class with her.

Comment:
useless and flaky. Boring and not helpful. The only people who tend to like her class are the nerdy ass kissers sitting in the front who happen to be as lame as her. Stay away if u can.

Geesh! Did I sign up for tax LAW or an accounting course? At that, she would still suck for an accounting prof.! Go back to billing and leave teaching to the real teachers!

Comment:
O'brien is my favorite proff at UVic. She goes a little quickly at times, but if you prepare by following her detailed outline than it's easy to keep up. She's super intelligent and uses her reserved demeanor in a hysterical way. Very funny. I recommend her 100%.

Ugh!!! Just read the book and save yourself the confusion of trying to follow along in class. Typical tax lawyer - dry and boring! The only ones who pretend to get her lame jokes are the butt kissers. Not very receptive to questions - gives you the evil eyes.

Good teacher, makes tough subjects clear and interesting, but follow her rules and study more than you normally would for the exam.
