Comment:

The lectures and zoom recordings helped in understanding each chapter as she made sure to include similar problems to the homework/quizzes/exams given. The quizzes had unlimited attempts and the exams had two attempts. She was always willing to help those with questions and provided feedback on homework or the discussion posts. She is very sweet.

Worst professor I have had at Stan State. I took her class during COVID 19. She never held a class on Zoom, and only provided 9 video hours total of lecture for April and May. Tests are 80% of your grade - tough without instruction.

Dr. Tan is an amazing lecturer. But, Tan was required to transition to online due to COVID 19. She is not technical. She lost total interest in teaching this class. Her 10-15 minute videos were horrible. Her notes were prepared in advance, hard to follow. I am not bitter - just disappointed. BTW my GPA is 3.86. Stay clear if she is teaching on-line

Profesor Tan really cares that you learn the material. She will go over it to make sure everyone gets it. She does have an accent that sometimes makes it hard to understand what she is saying but not to bad. Grading based on quizzes ,learn smart , hw for every chapter. Along with 4 tests and attendance counts. Pay attention and study.

I honestly would not take this professor again. 3 scheduled tests plus a cumulative final. The material overall isn't hard, just confusing once she tries to teach it. Gets off topic in her lectures, all over the place. The tests are long and are pretty tough. Ended up with a B. Find someone to help study with you. Attendance matters too.

Very scattered teacher. Spends most of class showing you how to set up a problem then rushes to show you an actual problem at the end of class. Starts showing you a problem and frequently loses place then starts writing info from a different problem until a student speaks up to correct her. Many things in the tests that she doesnt cover in class.

Mrs. Tan is a fun teacher. She is very nice and this class was not very hard. I missed a lot of class due to work, but still passed with an A. She does give points for attendance though. Her tests are pretty thorough so make sure you study!

I LOVE Kim Tan! She is so amazing. All accounting teachers should learn from her. She makes class enjoyable to go to. Has a great personality and is hilarious which is a break from the other accounting professors who have no personality. Her class is difficult but the structure of her class makes it easy; learn the material then you practice w/ her

Good luck with this professor. Her exams are hard, she doesn't give a study guide, she doesn't tell you what will be on the exam.

Took her for managerial accounting over the summer. It was an online class but she laid out her lectures very well and I thought the class was pretty easy. She does make you understand the material as the tests are 70% of your grade.

Best Accounting professor I've taken at CSU Stan. Explains complex material in a manner that makes it easy. Follow the guidesmethod sheets she gives you for each chapter. Good in class examples. Study what she says will be on test--gives hints during lecture. She also has a good sense of humor and cares about student's professional development.

I loved her willingness to help all her students; however, her notes would drive me crazy. They are very unorganized and messy. Also, your grade is very dependent on how you do on the exams, so if you mess up badly on one, you're putting yourself in a tough position of passing or not.

Great accounting teacher! She knows what you need to know and you can tell she loves accounting. She can be hard to understand, but I got used to her accent within a couple weeks. She does a lot of examples in class that correspond to the HW which comes straight from the book, so you do need the book if you want to succeed!

Dr. Tan is an excellent professor! She teaches Cost Accounting really well, and the course material overall is pretty straightforward. As noted in other comments she does have a sense of humor especially when she explains "the margin of safety".
