Selling "Fundamental Accounting Principles" 21st edition, course reader, and tools to help you in this class
Text me at **********

The workload is really too much.

In addition to having to buy a 100 dollar textbook, we had to buy another 100 dollars worth of course reader material, all of which could have easily been posted online (a third of it was an answer manual). She is always late to lecture and was late to her own office hours, at which she was not that helpful. She is unresponsive to e-mail. Two of the discussions were a waste of time because the first time, the TA didn't show up, and the second time, there was a room change and no one really informed the class. I wish I took Litt instead.

She kept me awake during her two hour lectures, that's rather rare for me. She is an awesome lecturer. She's rather weird outside of class but that's fine. Her exams are SUPER LONG and you can barely finish them! Overall, I learned a lot from her lectures. Great professor.

I didn't ALWAYS go to class, but when I did I found it very worthwhile. She's been teaching the class for AGES, so her course reader was very organized and helpful. Although it seemed like a waste of time, I really liked how she told us about investing in ROTH IRAs and mutual funds, and gave us the scoop about Sarbannes-Oxley and Enron stuff. The problems in the book were a good supplement for the most part, until I came to the very end of the quarter, at which point the book became virtually useless. I felt like I left with a good understanding of beginning accounting, and I really liked her. Plus, her credentials (proudly displayed at the beginning of the course reader) indicate that she's well qualified. I would recommend her. My friends who took Litt I think struggled more than I did to get the concepts, mostly because I think she explained them better.

Gardner is a good lecturer. The only flaw I saw in her teaching is that she sometimes gets ahead of her syllabus, leaving students wondering where the hell some things came from. But overall, she explains things in a very understandable way and her reader is so good that you might not have to read the book. Personally, I read the book (which was awesome), did the homework problems she assigned, did her very helpful and insightful assignments and ended up with an A. For this class, A is for effort. If you expect less from yourself, question whether or not you are competitive enough for this minor. Best of luck~

She came in late every single day. She goes through the material very quickly. Her exams are ridiculous. They aren't designed for you to finished. She says her exams are time-pressured that's no joke. The material isn't difficult, yet she finds a way to make the class difficult. If you take this class, GOOD LUCK.
