Reviews of professor Gretchen Lawrie

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Paper copies of essays are required to receive a grade which can cause problems if they get lost in a stack of papers. Most of the lectures are just reading off the PowerPoint with lots of interactive questions so students can talk about their experiences. Lots of Harvard course review papers to read but they are easy to understand.

Lawrie is a good professor. She frequently goes on tangents, some of which are kind of depressing, but she definitely knows tax law really well and does a good job teaching it. She lectures a LOT, but the material is pretty interesting. The quizzes and tests aren't very difficult if you show up and pay attention. I recommend taking her for tax.

Due to the recent tax changes, the book was useless. Lost 100, study the power point slides! Test are open notes, i mostly studied the power point slides. She doesn't have a lot patience. She's a warrior and been through a lot, so give her a break! Interesting subject. Study enough and you'll get an A-, 95% is an A- instead of an A, go figure!!
