Molly was so nice but she didn't teach anything. Her "lectures" were powerpoints with vocab from the week's chapter and we only met online one day a week to work on group projects. The weekly chapters are pretty long and in order to do well on the quizzes you need to read them. Overall not too bad bc the material is easy

Do the HOMEWORK. Yes it is hard and tedious but it will raise your grade at the end of the semester. Expect to put in 4-5 hours of HW/Studying each week. Tests are tough but manageable if you do the homework and put in the effort. Not an easy B.

Molly is one of the best professors I've had. She is so nice, and loves teaching. She is super helpful. She gives a lot of connect homework that can be easy to forget about, but they are really just there to boost your grade. 3 tests and a final, the tests are pretty easy if you study. Its usually multiple choice and short open ended. Take her!!

Take Molly if you want to self-teach. She relies on connect and group work to teach the class. She was surprised when everyone passed the first exam (apparently a first) so she said she'd make the next test harder. She was disappointed when most students didn't do as well on the second test. My recommendation, take someone else.

Best teacher for 242. This class is not an easy A and her tests are difficult - but if you just pay attention in class, do the Connect assignments, and study for her tests you will do just fine. She is very helpful during office hours and genuinely enjoys teaching the material. Took her for both 241 and 242 and got A's in both.

Molly Brown is probably the best professor to take for 242. Make no mistake, this course is TOUGHT. You will need to put plenty of studying in for her exams, which are quite difficult. Magic Molly Brown is much better than the other accounting professors which I had for 241/have heard of in the COB core ten.

Molly Brown is a good teacher who really knows and enjoys the material. However she makes it harder than it needs to be and can be rude when asked questions. Still on of the better accounting professors

I personally really enjoyed Molly's class and I'm taking her again for 242. She is very straight-forward and you know what to study for the tests. Yes, the class is hard and you have to study A LOT.. but Cob 241 is hard in general. Also, she prepares you for the final! I got a 96 on the final and an A in the class. I recommend Mollz.

She is a sweet professor, and is more than willing to spend her time helping students understand the material. This class is, however, extremely difficult and her tests are ruthless. I invested 3x as much time into this class than any other and it is the only one I need to retake. Professor is good, material is tough.

She is probably one of the hardest professors, but she knows her stuff. Class is not impossible, but you have to work for the exams. Hard. I recommend her because she prepares you really well for the final. Finished with an A, and there are some extra credit opportunities.

I worked so hard in this class and could not pass a test to save my life. This class + Brown was the final straw for my business major and I had to completely change unfortunately. She expects you to teach yourself all of the material and acts like you're stupid if you don't know it - leaving a lot of students afraid to ask questions. AVOID.

Her test are damn near impossible to do well on unless you're good at accounting. I'm not the most studious students but I worked my ass off in this class and never got anything higher than a 79 on a test (she did offer some extra credit to boost up scores). Prepares you well for the final though, got a 92. If you put the work in you can get a B.

Seriously AVOID at all costs. She loves to see her students fail and is not good at teaching in order to prepare you for her ridiculous exams. Almost dropped out of the business school because of her.

Well going in i thought it was going to be a hard class but this teacher made it nearly IMPOSSIBLE she doesn't teach and gives horrible lectures. Looking back i would rather have biked across country with a backpack that weighed 300 pounds then enroll in this course she reminds me of gandolfh from lord of the rings because YOU SHALL NOT PASS

This class is extremely hard! I did every connect assignment (which could take up to 2 hours at a time to complete) and i read every chapter (w/ detailed notes) and i was still unable to pass the first 2 tests, so i had to withdraw. She barely teaches in class and half of every test is free response with not enough time in class to finish.

Comment:

3 required Connect assignments per chapter. 1 chapter per week. So basically, you are doing 3 Connect homeworks per week, which absolutely sucks. I would have probably gotten an A in this class if it weren't for the stupid Connect assignments that I regularly forgot about. But, attendance is not mandatory so that good.

Take Molly Brown if you can!!! The class is challenging but she prepares you really well for the final exam. The homeworks are all online and there are not too bad but sometimes take 1-2 hours. The class handouts are super helpful in reviewing for the tests/final.

I absolutely loved Molly Brown! I've never taken an accounting class in my life and got an A- in her class. Her tests are very fair but will take almost the entire period so you really have to know what you're doing to do well. I read each chapter prior to learning about it in class which helped a lot. Hard class in general but she's a great prof!

Comment:

Take any other section of COB 242 that is not taught by this woman you will not regret that decision. She does not want you to well as reflected in her exams and impossible homework assignments she selects to be completed using connect. Out of the 10 lower core classes this is my lowest grade. This class made me have to drop my Accounting major.
