Reviews of professor Zhan Furner

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Grading criteria is vague, so even if you answer a question on a test correctly, you won't get a good grade if it isn't to her criteria (that she doesn't tell you about ahead of time). Get ready to dedicate your life to her class. She's a nice lady but is an awful professor. During COVID she gave us an impossible project... literally. Good luck.

The class is hard, but there are SO much extra credit. She lets you replace exam grades and offers points for participating in online sessions. She was nice to me and was eager and responsive even at night. Minor accent but understandable.

I heard this class is hard, and its true, but the teacher works with you as much as you need. The class was online and she had synchronous class meetings twice a week and made several video "lectures." She has a bit of an accent but still is understandable. I just wish that the exams were not so hard, then I'd give the class 5 stars.

I didn't find this course to be hard per sae. There was alot of work, alot to memorize, but it wasn't rocket science. Dr Furner was always willing to stay late and help, but honestly I didn't need anything outside of class, save a few emails. I feel over prepared for tax and I'd take a class with her again no problem.

She is super nice but doesnt give real or meaningful help to students. This will be the hardest accounting class you will take. Terrible and long lecture videos and live sessions. If you want a good grade, you must devote your life to tax. Good luck because youre going to need it.

I had heard how bad this class was so I was prepared. It is a lot of work, 4 exams, smartbook assignments, HW and qiuzes. But Mrs. Furner is fair, patient and constructive in her feedback. I wouldnt want to go through this class again, but I would take Mrs Furner anytime.

This class is extremely difficult if you have no prior accounting experience. Furner's accent also makes the class even more difficult to understand the concepts. Her grading policy is very unclear. I attended every class and completed all of the discussion boards when the class got moved to online and still got a 70 for participation.

I am in the Tax class now, during the covid19 semester. I can say that its a complicated topic and the workload is maybe the highest among ACCT classes. But I like Dr. Furner. She really makes you feel like she likes you, and pushes you to be successful. She did change the format of a final exam to a project b/c of COVID, but it wasn't that bad.

Exams are extremely hard but she offers a lot of extra credit.

It's as hard as you can imagine. She lets you redo some assignments for partial credit and has a few extra credit opportunities. But she is very genuine and will work with you outside of class to get it right. I'll give her 5 stars for that.
