Comment:
I like her, the ratings here are quite mean to her. She is so responsive on email and she's such a sweet prof. I didn't do the best in the course, but shes a nice person. Her lecs arent the best, just use YouTube. She isn't the worst prof neither the best, but shes a good one, shes caring and nice and VERY VERY approachable. Always responded positi

I havent seen a more disorganized prof than Anita, she seems like a nice person. But the class is a hot mess of broken powerpoints, incomplete slides/notes, and little outside help. The class is literally self taught and textbook only. Can't believe I'm paying thousands of dollars for a class I taught myself from a careless prof.

Comment:
It's disappointing that Profs like this exist and think its okay to lazily teach a class with poor quality pre-recorded powerpoints and think it does the content justice. She seems like a very nice person, but didn't bother to teach the class. The self tests and tutorials are helpful, but this is solely textbook based.

Took ACCT 323 in fall 2020 (online). Her video recordings were hard to follow along and doesn't prepare you for her tests. She's a sweet and caring prof, but isn't that good at teaching. Class was easy for me since I learnt from watching YouTube videos instead. I recommend doing her self-tests as practice since it prepares you for her tests

Comment:
took it in fall 2020. everyone i know exclusively used the textbook, but as someone who does not learn well from a textbook, i found her prerecorded lectures to be pretty good. i didnt love the format of them-most of the content is from what she says rather than whats on the slides. the info she SAYS in her videos make the tests much easier.

Anita is a very kind soul and is very quick to respond to emails or issues but is not helpful for teaching the course. I took this class online and it was a mess. You need to teach yourself from the textbook. Her lectures online were hard to hear and read. She does have a few helpful resource but prepare to do this class independently.

Anita did not teach at all since they were pre-recorded videos. I took this class in fall 2020 and she reused her videos from spring 2020 and the quality was terrible. I taught myself everything with the textbook. She's pretty useless but the course itself was easy. (1 easy assignment, 4 exams)

Comment:
Dont know where to start. The assignment was easy at least, but Lakra did not teach at all. Everything I learned was from publisher slides and textbook. I spent 700 on what feels like nothing. The practice tests and real tests had different methods of calculation, so if you got the right answer on the self test, it might be wrong on the real test.

Comment:
I met with Anita once over zoom and she's a nice person, but some people are just not meant to teach. Her videos were practically useless and I had to learn everything on my own through reading the textbook. This course was really dry and difficult to complete. It's the reason I am no longer concentrating in accounting.

This class was quite difficult to get through. Very much self-taught via the textbook. She did post videos to supplement the material, but they were poorly filmed and hard to understand due to occasional audio issues. The course consisted of four exams and one assignment.

Comment:
One of my worst profs ever and I'm in my third year. This is a completely self-taught course as there are no lectures and the prerecorded lectures are poorly organized. Still, no idea what she does as she will tell u to only email her if it's urgent or an emergency and directs you to only speak with TAs. Didn't even create new videos this semester.

All her lectures were prerecorded which was fine except the camera quality was terrible. She would show her handwritten notes, and you wouldnt even be able to read what it said. Just read the textbook, and watch YouTube videos instead and you will be fine.

Comment:
Straight up reused all of her lectures from spring classes. Refuses to answer emails and questions unless they're an emergency. I honestly would give her an N/A rating if I could, because she didn't teach me nor my classmates anything. Just awful, and for all the wrong reasons.

Comment:
Her lecture videos are terrible quality and make understanding relatively easy concepts way more difficult. On top of that, she refuses to answer any emails unless they are "an emergency", even though this is an online course and we don't always have the availability to attend office hours. Tutorials, TAs, and the textbook will be your best friend!

Comment:
Professor Lakra is definitely not meant for online classes. The worst thing is that she is not willing to communicate unless for emergencies, and only posts recorded lectures. She is not tech-savvy at all. Her videos are soundless and her face covers most of the screen space instead of slides. I would not recommend her for online classes.

Comment:
Worst Teacher of the University of Calgary. She publishes soundless videos instead of taking an online class on zoom. Explain nothing in those videos. All I could see is her face rather than slides or notes. She also mentioned that it is illegal to download videos or slides from the portal. God, please save UofC from her. Amen

Comment:
Anita is sweet but her online lectures are okay-ish but her examples are dry and she was vague in explaining some hard topics. Her slides are useless, so use the publisher's slides. YouTube and the book are your saviours. But she was good with uploading and giving back results quickly.

Comment:
Did not make herself available for student questions. We were not allowed to email her directly. Tutorials were given over Skype. She was not tech savy which made things difficult for her. TAs didn't fully know the course content and often couldn't answer questions. Online lectures were blurry making them very difficult to follow.

Comment:
Anita is not a good professor. Seems to care about her students but is not reflected in her efforts to help her students as she does not provide extra assistance to those that need it. PowerPoints are horribly created and lack lots of information. Very unclear when she speaks. Her course outline is graded on only exams and heavily weighted. Avoid.

Comment:
Extremely rude, and disorganized. Sends multiple unclear emails a day, and never posts relevant things to d2l, or will do so at the last minute. The quality of her online videos are terrible, as you can barely hear her and the screen is extremely blurry. If you read the textbook and do the practice tests you will do well, but she is not helpful.
