Had her for the honors section so actually in class. She yelled at students for asking too many questions and messed up a lot when doing examples. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.

Sadly, there is no way to avoid her. All of the lectures are taught via video and there is one recitation session per week but you have to go because there is a quiz every time. Make sure to get a decent recitation leader, but either way the tests are difficult. Also, make sure to do your online homework!!

I liked ACCT 225. It wasn't that hard when I watched the videos. They made it easy.

I just passed the CPA exam! When I took 501 with her, I thought she was making it too easy but when I started the CPA review, I already knew what i needed to know about consolidations!

Ms. Kerr will prepare you to be an accounting major if you are willing to work. I worked my butt off but did well in both 401 and 405. I can never thank her enough for what she did for me.

Comment:
Regardless of who your official teacher is for 225, you'll have to listen to Kerr's lectures via video. She makes mistakes frequently and spends far too long on concepts without addressing them in depth. I had her as my main professor as well and she rarely helped us prepare for the tests. You'll have to take this in the B-school, but be warned.

Comment:
She's not as bad as everyone says. I took this class as a freshman and got a B+ Most people just don't want to do the lectures and homework or go to review sessions. She's good about telling you what will be on the test. The worst part are the lecture quizzes given each class. You can't really avoid her though she's the only 225 professor.

Becky made lots of mistakes in the video and had long anecdotes that lost interest, but this class proved easier than the honors section of 225 for me as it was more structured despite only attending class once a week

Comment:
Financial Accounting is meant to be hard, but Kerr's teaching style just doesn't cut it. You need a good TA to make it through. She posts the solutions to problems at the last minute before test, and only posts solutions to the few problems she assigns. No room for extra practice on your own. I don't find her helpful at all, my TA for lab saved me.

So for some reason they decided to put this class on Blackboard with lecture videos. Mrs. Kerr makes a lot of mistakes in the videos, but she's interesting to watch. Make sure you have a good TA! This class isn't easy so be prepared to study a lot.

Avoid her, unless you enjoy teaching yourself! Class was one day a week. Whoever came up with that idea for a class like this should be fired. It doesn't work,especially with someone who really can't teach in te first place.

Any person who has said something good about Becky on here clearly did not have the same teacher. This women is a horrible teacher. She makes more mistakes than any person I have ever met. She also words tests in a form we have never learned. The accounting department should not have used her to teach the lecture aspect of this class.

If you can avoid taking her I would. Test questions will be more evolved then the homework and quizes, which she will not explain how to do beforehand. She makes many mistakes while teaching. Talks down to the class.

Comment:
Ms. Kerr is a very nice person, but is somewhat overwelmed by the rigor of an advanced accounting course. I'm sure she's a very good teacher for lower level courses. One of her greatest weaknesses is poor organization, she has great difficulty keeping herself organized and on task and returning work in a timely manner (if at all) due to it.

She is one of the worst professors that i had at this university. AWFUL. She just gave a bunch of EXAMS without teaching anything. She is not familiar with information and extremely unhelpful.

Comment:
She was terrible. She spent half of the class time GIVING EXAMS. Never available for office hours. She simply does not thoroughly know the information. She is NOT a PhD and spent most of her career at a technical college. She made all student put bookbags and phones in front of room during every quiz and test. Avoid taking her!
