Comment:

Not helpless at all. Her lectures are okay and if you do all your wileyplus and activities, you will do good in this class. I did not pay attention to her lectures, but studied by myself at home. She is rude to students and does not trying to help them. She does not care about her students even though they always showed up for classes.

I don't know what it is about her teaching or maybe the material, but I retained nothing from that class and I'm an accounting major. Her lectures got better by the end of the year but it's so easy to just copy things down and not understand how she got it so don't be afraid to ask questions. Awesome person, sucky teacher.

Sign up for the lab, and do well on the activities on and the WileyPlus to save your grade from her tests. She acts like her tests are easy, but they are HARD. There's a lot of calculation questions to complete in a short amount of time, so master those types of calculation questions, and you're solid.

Very challenging course. Tests are long and lectures are hard to follow. Wish I would have tried harder and went to office hours but regardless, a very challenging class if accounting is not your thing.

Comment:

This class was really challenging for most. I am a good student, missed only two classes and I could only finish the first exam. Only a small portion of the class was able to finish the second and third exam. She does not work problems out by hand and only flips through power points or does problems on the computer which are hard to follow.

Worst teacher ever. She doesn't know anything about what she's teaching, she spends most of class fixing all the mistakes she made, she can't answer anyone's questions, and she's really rude to her students. Her tests are impossible, and her powerpoints aren't helpful. Reading the book was the only thing that helped in that class. HORRIBLE TEACHER

Lesley is a good teacher. For the practice problems, just do Brief Exercises cause that's about as hard as the exam gets. Her exams can be tricky so pay attention to the wording. Overall, she cares about her students and is a good teacher.

Fast paced class. Must go to class. Easy assignments. Tests are no surprise. Most multiple choice, with some math related problems. Grades are given on the spot, MUST be 90.0 for A. Recomend her for Accounting classes.

Surprisingly easy class if you go to lecture, take notes from the outline, and STUDY THE WILEY PROBLEMS before exams. Everything on the exams were based on what she taught and reviewed before the test. Each exam had about one or two questions that she didn't emphasize, but other than that she really prepared us.

Cohen is a nice person, but she is very fast paced. Her notes are outlined based, which are better than power points. I was just short of an A, which sucks because she doesn't curve. I hear she's better than the other teachers though, so I don't regret having her.

Cohen teaches as if you already know the material and she is just reviewing it. She is very fast paced and it is very difficult for people who have never taken accounting before. There are 4 other acct professors and all their students have better grades than her students do. She doesn't teach or explain anything. take another teacher instead.

Take with her! She's the best one! Always helpful and if you do well in the beginning the class is a joke. 3 tests, 12 wileyplus, 2 homeworks, 8 in-class activities, and an optional 30 points for a lab. So easy! She gives a review day before tests and just study that. Awesome teacher that wants you to succeed.

She CARES about how her students do. Do the study guides that she goes over very clearly in class. You need the textbook, and you could very easily do well in this class with some effort and 1 or 2 visits to office hours

Definitely take with her! She is the best accounting teacher because she is the one who makes the test so she will tell you what to study and what not to study. Guide to an A: sign up for the lab once the class starts, take notes on the assigned chapters, do the learnsmart,do the study guide, and the activities. Just don't be lazy.

Cohen is a GREAT professor! Everything was very clear to understand and as long as you do the study guides and go to most classes the tests are a piece of cake! Business minors should definitely take 250 instead of 200!

She is a very skilled, and exceptional teacher. I really enjoyed her class, and the only way you can struggle with her class is if you don't go to class or don't do the assignments. If you're really struggling with the concepts you should go to office hours.

She is a fantastic professor! She is very clear in her teaching. She does everything through MS Word and Excel so its easy to follow along on your own computer. It seems a bit confusing when she gives you the information but the exercises she does in class are what really help you learn it. And her tests are multiple choice! Would highly recommend!

Loved this teacher. A little scattered during lectures but I recommend going to her office hours. She is really helpful and nice especially if she knows you are really putting in the effort to understand the material. Her tests aren't too bad if you study and she gives a lot of small assignments that are easy points.
