Prof. B is an excellent teacher and really knows how to break down the material. That being said, she is a very tough grader and it is hard to get an A in her class. She moves extra fast but the end of the semester is not too stressful.

Her teaching style is very fast and the slide is not clear! You must read the book carefully. You have no choice, only she teaches the class. There are many definitions of examination, and she is not a hotness person.

Professor Blanthorne is one of my favorite professors. It was an absolute pleasure taking her class and meeting her as a person. I took Individual tax with her so of course there is a lot of material and some difficulty, but she makes it seem doable and knows how to simplify the information. She has an awesome personality and is hilarious.

Dr Blanthorne (thomas on ecampus) is a great professor. Her notes are clear and concise and her lectures and assignments are well planned. You can tell she cares about the subject and cares about you as a student and wants you to have an understanding of Tax. Would definitely take her again!

Her teaching style is very straightforward, if you come to class and pay attention it is really hard to get left behind. Dr. B is one of the few professors who actually cares about her students and it makes all the difference in your learning. 100 % take her if you have the chance, you will learn more about tax than you ever thought you would!

Her lectures are easy to follow and she has PowerPoint slides posted to follow along with in class. Using the textbook can certainly help with problems, but I feel she summarized the material very well in class. All of the problems on the tests are covered at least once so be sure to pay attention. I would definitely recommend her.

I had her for two courses. They were both at the masters level and I enjoyed both of the courses. I am not a tax person, but I enjoyed every class because she related it all to real life situations and allowed us to be very flexible in the way we were able to research. Overall great instructor and I would recommend her for any class she teaches.

Dr. B is one of the best accounting professors at URI - she is clear, fair in testing and there are no surprises in her class. Go to lecture, take notes, study and you will be fine in her course. She is very straightforward, testing you on the same material she covers. She also really cares about her students and makes tax fun. Highly recommend!

Tax is a tough topic, but if you keep up to date with the homework and do her practice problems you will do well in the course. The tests are fair and workload is very manageable. She is always an e-mail away and responds in a reasonable amount of time. Overall great course.

Class is mandatory in the MSA program, so you have no choice but to take it. However, I will say that she is a fair grader and gives partial credit. Tests are not difficult if you pay attention in class, do the HW/projects and read the textbook. However, they can be tricky especially since it is not an undergraduate course. Workload is manageable.

Dr. Blanthorne is great. The class is tough so you have to apply yourself, but it does go by a little faster because she is an interesting lecturer. You will be confused in class so make sure to do review and pay attention to the activities!!!! She bases her tests off in class activities so if you understand those you should be okay.

Awesome professor. She's super nice and really cares about her students. The material is difficult, so you have to apply yourself. But she provides really great notes to follow and is very good at answering questions. I have had Prof. Blanthrone twice, and I've always enjoyed her class. Bonus: she bought us all dinner on the last day of class

Material is difficult, don't get discouraged if you don't understand the material while it is being taught. Put in the time after class to review her worksheets and it will come. Professor Blanthorne is a great professor and always willing to meet during office hours. 2 exams and 3 CPA quizzes. Good luck

MAC 503 is structured much like Blanthorne's undergrad class. Your two test scores and CPA quizzes are a majority of your grade. The tests are very difficult, but if you pay attention in class, do the assigned work especially the WSs she makes, as well as the DQs it is manageable. She is a fair grader and truly cares about her students.

Blanthorne is a wonderful person. During our MAC 503 class, we always had a good time and laughed. I enjoyed going to class. However, the exams were unpredictable and extremely difficult. I put in a lot of effort to study about 4 days in advance and would still do poorly. She needs to brush up on some of her knowledge about certain topics.
