Cons: 1. Hard to understand her lecture (strong accent)
2. Very boring
3. Tests are hard
4. Curves out of three sections
AND SO MUCH MORE
definitely dont recommend her
First, she doesnt allow her students to use notecards during the exam. Maybe she allowed that previous quarters but not anymore.
Second, literally only three or four students paid attention to her during lecture. She has a strong accent and her voice is monotone. Most of the students did not bother to listen to her
Third, her tests are hard compared to her lecture. In addition, she gives out the worst study guide that i have ever received in my life (just few word problems from the textbook). You really need to study for her test
Fourth, she curves the test out of her three sections. This is worse than not giving out the curve.
By the way, for the first midterm class average was 68 and she said its terrific. She really meant that.
CPP seriously need another professor for acc 311. She might be okay for 207/208 but for higher division courses such as 311, we need a professor who actually can TEACH.
Cons: She has a heavy Chinese accent and does not know how to teach. She is the worst Accounting professor. She uses other professors Tests, she does not know the material herself. The worst part is she will not curve or give you any points even if you prove to her you are correct.
Stay away from her, you think Pak is bad she worst than Pak. At least Pak understands and curves she wont even do that, so you can fail the class with a 69.8 percent that right she screwed me over. Stay away from her.
Cons: Hard to understand
Does not know the material herself
I agree with the two comments below. She is not a good professor at all. I have heard good things about her but at the lower 207 level. At 312 she is terrible. She does not even understand the material herself and she sometimes gets mad if you correct her. As she does the examples on the board she has the teachers book guiding her on the answer. Its like shes teaching straight from the book. She will also ask students occasionally if shes correct because she does not know herself. Her accent is also hard to understand and the class is extremely boring. She does not know how to engage students and make the subject interesting. For this class, basically you teach yourself and you need to know the material very well especially IFRS. She loves to test on that and will make you solve a problem on it for the exams.
Her exams are half multiple choice and half problem solving. The funny part is that the whole point of having problem solving is to remove it from the multiple choice but even the multple choice has problem solving. Her test are extremly long because of this and you will not have enough time to finish and will need to rush.
I would say Dr. Pak is better than her. He may be more difficult but at least you can be confident that he know the materal. With her, I have to double check everything she says with the book. Dont just go off her lectures or powerpoints because she doesnt know the materal well and will make a lot of mistakes.
Bottom line, She sucks! Take someone else if you can. She also doesnt curve so goodluck.

Cons: Cannot understand student questions
Questions whether she knows the material
Does not write her own tests
Oddly structured reading assignments
I'm currently in the class and am not liking it one bit. I have had no difficulty acing other accounting courses including 311 with Dr. Hefzi but this is a different game. I don't understand why she is teaching an intermediate course which is clearly out of her league. Students are constantly correcting her and she has trouble explaining herself. I feel she doesn't write her own tests and that is unfair since she does not have the capacity to prepare you for someone else's exam. As with any accounting course you must read the book but unlike other courses where you can seek clarification by asking questions in class, you cannot do so with her because she won't undersatnd your question or she will have trouble explaining. The amount of material in this course is massive and since she cannot tell you which topics to focus on you're pretty much screwed for the tests. Her quizzes are also weird with respect to the content. For example you will have a quiz on chapter 7 and halfof chapter 8 then the next quiz will be on half of chapter 8 and all of chapter 9. She is a nice lady and would do well teaching 207 or 208 to 1st and 2nd year students but for upper division students who are serious about the major, this is unacceptable. I hope we can convince her to make the tests open book or that she will at minimum lower the percentage value of the tests.
Cons: hard to understand
pop quiz
hard exams and quizzes
She has no idea how to teach 312. She did not even understand the material herself and would often ask students to explain it. She also is very hard to understand with her Chinese accent. Her quizzes and exams are tough - I doubt she can even pass her own tests. What makes it even harder is the way she words her questions. It is almost as if she designs the test to be extremely challenging/difficult just to impress the 10yr. staff - as if to prove she can handle teaching 312. If you want to pass this class you'll have to teach yourself. You'll have to read and understand the material fully to the point you could teach it to a classmate without looking at any references (no joke). At times she'll even confuse the class more because of her own uncertainties on the material. She makes ridiculous comments and thinks she's funny - but no, she's not. While She comes off as nice, and maybe so, she's still all business. She gives quizzes at the very beginning of class, sometimes starts before the actual class time. Did I mention she does not inform which days quizzes will be given. She does not let you take the quiz if you're late because of parking, being held back by previous class, etc.
Maybe you'll be lucky and she'll improve from the time I had her, and actually learn the material. If not, GOOD LUCK!
Cons: She did have a thick acent, but you can understand her.
Grade received: A
I recommend her!
2 midterms are not cumulative
homework is easy
very friendly professor
Cons: strong accent
tests can be a bit challenging
worst part about this class was the accent, other than that this was a great class. it's mainly online homeworks, 3 tests, and 1 project. the homework is easy, because they can be redone infinite times till you get the perfect score. the project initially is seems intimidating, but is reality it's actually real easy after she gets you running. theres a sample project you can just base your data off of. the first 2 tests are not cumulative and only cover what was taught prior to the test. also for all her tests you are allowed 1 notecard to write whatever you want on it. all 3 tests are comprised of about 30-50 multiple choice then 3 written questions. i got a C+ in the class, but i blame myself for procrastination and not taking advantage of the extra credit she offers. every class she asks questions and if you answer them you can earn extra credit which i highly recommend you take advantage of. overall, i would recommend this class to other students, because i hear other classes give much more work.
Cons: Grading on the project is ridiculous. She takes away points for the stupidest things.
You can barely understand her. I cringe every time she says "dividends".
Adds random assignments/ projects during the quarter on top of everything else we have to do.
I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt but this class sucks. She clearly knows accounting but doesn't know how to teach it. I've become skeptical about the hiring process for professors at Cal Poly recently because I've had too many professors that don't know what they're doing in a class. I would just avoid accounting all together at Cal Poly and take it at a JC over the summer because accounting at this school is too much. And don't get me started on the lab.
tells everyone what she expects on the midterms and final
project seems challenging but she grades very fair on them
Cons: hard to understand at first
great teacher that i would like to take again
Homework is given weekly via Connect. Do them and you'll know how to do the problems on the exams. There are two projects; both very easy points, so do them! She makes class funny by adding her quirky jokes. She's nice and although she has an accent, she'll try her best to help you understand. I wish she would teach ACC312 and ACC313! Grade Received: A
Cons: Her accent makes certain things difficult to understand but it's not that bad once you get used to her.
Lets you use notecard for tests
Cons: accent sometimes hard to understand
good teacher. she really knows accounting very well. Accounting is not easy,you have to actually pay attention and read. If you actually read, you will get a good grade in this class. I got a B with not too much studying. If you dont show up or read, dont expect a good grade because you will not pass. You actually have to understand the concepts to pass. that is not just for this teacher that is for accounting in general. Her tests are very straight forward
Cons: Slightly hard to understand but it's not too bad.
I didn't do well in this class because i'm lazy, but she assigns homework and then puts homework type problems on the tests. So, know how to do your problems. There's a lot of reading, make sure you understand the material and ask questions if you don't. It's not a hard class but it is a lot of work.
Overall, she is nice and TRIES. But I'm sorry, I don't want a professor that has to try, I want one that can get up there and teach me what I need to be taught.
Her lectures are not organized and her tests are half multiple choice and half "problem-solving". She does allow cheat sheets for the midterm, but most of the class still failed despite this.
Last thing, there is a group project which isn't hard but ever so slightly time consuming, but mostly annoying. You pick a company and have to print out their annual report and answer questions based on the data in there.
}I did know someone in this class who passed, don't know how . . maybe just good with numbers. If you have a gift with numbers and can read the book to learn . . then, sure take her.
Last but not least...her English is not the best but it is understandable. Dr. Fan even jokes that she is working on her English speaking and writing skills. If you've had any other professors in the accounting department, a professor with good English is hard to come by. Grade Received: A
