Comment:
Goslinga's lectures were clear, her exam reviews were very helpful, and the work she assigns isn't just busy work. The exams were tricky, but if you read the ?'s carefully and check your work you'll get the grade you WORKED for. Actually understanding the "why" behind solving the problem is the most important part of the course.

This class was definitely challenging. It is doable with the help of tutoring programs. One that helped me is Automatic Tutoring. I understood the material more and understood the types of questions that were on the exams. I highly recommend Automatic Tutoring.

Professor Goslinga is a great professor! To do well in this class you need to stay up to date with the weekly homework. Follow her advice and read the textbook before watching her lectures. Make sure to review practice problems as well. Her lectures are great and very concise, you do not need Study Edge if you follow her course outline correctly.

Dr. Goslinga is a great lecturer and explains things very clearly. Lectures clear lots of things up. The key to success in this class is reading the textbook, watching the lectures, and doing the practice problems. Only bad thing about her is that she tries to trick you on exams, and sometimes puts in questions shes never really gone over.

Lectures and readings don't prepare you for the exams. I basically owe my B to studyedge.

This class is really hard. No way around it. You need to do the weekly homework without CHEGG. Learn the material, DO NOT try and cram right before the exam. Study edge is your friend. I would start studying 10 days prior to the exam and barely managed a B+. Do not waste your time with lectures Goslinga is useless. STUDY EDGE!!!!!

Shes a good lecturer just pay attention. All of her exams are made of of mostly trick questions instead of just making sure you understand the material. Decent curve at the end though.

the most unforgiving class, the majority of your grade is three exams that are designed to trick you. also has a weird grading system with no A- or B- take at another location or with another professor. the questions done in class and the optional homework are nothing like the exams.

This is my second time taking the class, and it's one of the WORST at UF. The exams are designed to trick you, just why?? The exam averages are so low and she doesn't review the exams or curve, just posts that more than half the students failed (for each exam) and that you can visit her office hours. You can pay for extra materials or you can fail

Overall a very time-demanding class. The lectures are alright for base knowledge but it was the extra tutoring that def helped me get an A. I used Automatic Tutoring and the people make the class super manageable and interesting.

Her lectures and reviews are thorough and worthwhile, but the tests are definitely designed to trick you. To succeed in this class, you have to get a tutor who understands and can explain her tricks. I used automatic tutoring and would recommend it over studyedge.

If you do not put in the work you will FAIL. However, if you put in the work, do the problems at the end of each chapter and do her practice exams you should be fine. I think the reason so many people do poorly in this class is that this is the first class many take in college that requires this amount of work to do well in.

Do not take this class through UF, do it at a public university!! Don't even bother watching her lectures, you will not pass this class without StudyEdge. StudyEdge explains everything perfectly, use all of their practice resources and be ready to put in work if you want to pass. Taking ACG2021 forced me to switch my major and destroyed my GPA.

I hated this class so much it made me change majors. The professor did NOT provide enough info needed to understand the information. Learn every bit of material that she gives you and know it through and though cuz if not you will end up like me. Also don't rely on practice exams given, they are WAYYYYYYY easier than the exams. Good luck friend.

Took this class for the first time in summer A (6 weeks long!) and managed to pull an A. However that was bc I used Study Edge instead of her lectures! I tried her lectures but they were so long and didnt fully explain anything. HW doesnt translate to the test at all, so the SE practice was super helpful! The class isnt as hard as everyone says

Unbiased Review: If you're taking this summer A, be ready to put the in the work. HW and connect assignm are long. I recommend watching only her first lectures and then getting Study Edge. Only watch their lectures from then on if u dont want 2 spend 8+ hours/dy. SE explains everything very well and their mock exams and practice problems are great.

I took this class during summer A and I was a little scared because of the reviews; however, it was not as hard as people make it out to be. Just make sure you do all of the homeworks, smart book assignments, and quizzes. I watched her lectures for the first exam, but not the others. I relied on study edge and it was extremely useful.

Comment:
This should not be offered as a Summer A or B class. There is far too much content covered. Homeworks are long and painful, the lectures are even longer and the professor does not add anything to the class. She basically regurgitates what's in the textbook but in a long, painful way. Avoid taking this class with her if possible.

80% of class grade is from 3 equal exams. During Summer A, you take an exam every other week. HW is not similar to exams -- just get it done, then read the book. All of my mistakes were because I didn't read the question closely and it cost me dearly -- 70% on E1 & E2 --> 97% E3 when I paid attn. Questions are very similar to practice exams.

Comment:
Professor Goslinga has made this course as hard as it can possibly be. She requires lengthy assignments that are worth little to nothing for your grade and they barely help for the exams which are over 85% of your final grade. She makes the exams extremely confusing so that even if you understand the concepts it is very easy to get the questions X
