Comment:
Professor Melis is a solid choice for accounting. The difference between her and Kren is minuscule in the sense of the quality of education. They have two separate styles, Melis' being largely through examples, while Kren is largely through mastering the concepts to assist you on problems. Both are great and it depends on what style you prefer.

BEST ACCO teacher at Marquette by far. Seriously if you don't take her if given the chance, you will 100% regret it.

Professor Melis is the best professor I've had at MU. I had her for both ACCO1030 and 1031. Her lectures are so in-depth that you don't really need to read the textbook. She tends to put a few extra credit questions on the tests because they are pretty difficult which is nice. Don't fall behind, watch/attend all lectures. A is very achievable.

Comment:
1. Her lectures are all you need to understand the course. She explains things insanely well. 2. Exams are tough. Follow her guide on D2L if you want an A. Cram 16 hours of studying 3 days prior for a B (Youll stress). 3. Do your HW, there is no make ups and its the difference between a B and a B-.

Professor Melis is a solid choice for any accounting course. The material WILL BE DIFFICULT! Accounting is notoriously hard, but if you follow the layout she provides, you'll survive just fine. She is always accessible and will go out of her way to make sure you succeed. She will even let you know how many questions per chapter are on each exam!

One of the nicest teachers I have ever had. SO so sweet, caring, passionate, and kind. she made me love accounting so much that I want to major in it. Her prerecorded lectures are so helpful and she creates a daily schedule for lectures and homework (you don't have to follow it if you don't want to.) she is the best professor ever.

Professor Melis is probably your best bet for an accounting prof at Marquette. I will say, this class is probably the hardest class I've ever taken. It was fully online and we were allowed to watch the prerecorded lecture videos on our own time. She provides "self-imposed" schedules and I would recommend following it or you'll struggle big time.

Although the acco classes are notoriously hard, Melis makes it the easiest of all teachers. Her explanations of the material are very clear and concise and make sense. The exams are definitely hard but she is willing to help.

Very good choice for 1030 and 1031. While she does not give as many resources as other accounting profs, if you pay attention in class and come prepared you will not struggle. I never opened the book for 1031 and did well.

Professor Melis is a true rockstar and one of my favorite professors at Marquette. She is able to give a very detailed, meaningful lesson and do it in 50 minutes. She comes in every day with a positive attitude that really makes you want to learn. If I had to take more accounting I would do everything in my power to get her as my professor.

I literally would not have passed accounting without her endless help. Her real life examples are funny and get the class going. I think she's definitely a favorite teacher of mine. Although accounting isn't necessarily the easiest course, it's manageable. Attend class, ask questions when confused, do homework, and you'll get at least a B.

I had her for Financial Accounting, she was a great choice. I know other classes had more resources, but she covers the content we needed several times, so if you pay attention in class you should be good. She is really strict about people being late so try not to walk in after she has started.

Melis is the best professor I've had at Marquette. She revisits the same big-picture ideas as we go through each chapter and she relates these topics to real-world situations we can understand/relate to. I do not read the book, only use it for homework. I would rewrite my notes/homework then type them after each lecture. Get online book and Chegg!

Im a junior and took Professor Melis when I was a freshman. She is still to this day my favorite professor at Marquette. Walked into the class ready to hate accounting and walked out of the class with an enormous amount of love for the topic. She teaches with such enthusiasm that every student has to appreciate. Moral of the story, take her.

Accounting was a nightmare that I had to withdraw from first semester. Took Melis (formerly Gruber) and accounting actually became one of my favorite courses. While still difficult, she goes through every topic and allows for questions at any time. You can really tell that she cares about the material AND the students.

ACCO is hard but Dr. Melis is AMAZING!! Take her. She really breaks things down and makes lectures entertaining. Following her how to succeed tips and you can get a good grade. Use the practice exams to your benefit!! There are some extra credit opportunities and make sure to do all homework.

There are only 4 exams in accounting so doing well on all of them is very important to pass. Professor Melis is one of those professors though that actually wants her students to do well. This class is the hardest class I've ever taken at Marquette (stats is up there too), but if you take Melis you have a better chance of passing than others.
