Reviews of professor Sara Gochnauer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Gochnauer is very nice and really puts in the effort to ensure that everyone is on the same page. She's also available outside of class for help. A lot of this class is on YOU, however. This is absolutely not a class where you can get by without reading the book, auditing is a huge topic. If you put in the effort though, you should be fine.

She's kind of scary, but I grew to like her.  Her expectations are clear. She won't tolerate BS, so don't expect late work to be accepted. She does a good job explaining things in lectures. The material can be tough, but I found it way more interesting than I thought I would. Wished I kept a tally of how often she mentioned working for FedEx.

Dr. Gochnauer is energetic and enthusiastic. The tests and assignments are challenging, but that's to be expected from a 400 level accounting course. I wouldn't want anyone else teaching it, and really encourage people to take this class. She does a great job explaining the concepts, and makes the large information level more digestible.

Dr. G was an amazing professor! If you pay attention to the lectures, she gives you every concept you need for the exams. She is always willing to meet and help you through any questions. She really knows the material inside and out and she does an excellent job teaching it. 100% recommend!!!

I was scared going into this class, but she broke down the material in a way that made it very easy to understand. She is very by the book and does not accept late work unless it's an extreme emergency. Overall, the exams are pretty easy if you just pay attention during the lectures and try when doing the homework. Also you have to buy the textbook

This class is very lecture heavy, take good notes. Dr G is a great professor! This class has very little math and is more content focused. She does a great job of bringing it to the basics and explaining it in ways that are easy to understand. I really enjoyed her teaching style. Attendance is not required but if you want to do well, don't skip.

If you have to take 255 I would recommend Professor G. There is an online textbook you have to buy because all your assignments are done through it, there is 2 assignments every week due on Sunday. There are 3 tests that cover everything discussed in class and aren't difficult if you study or go to the si sessions or office hours.

Professor G a lazy prof. and will lecture off of a PowerPoint the whole class and expect you to just listen. She does not grade a single thing as everything is graded electronically right down to scantron tests. She is not giving in anyway so don't expect late exceptions. Her strict schedule shows she believes audit to be the most important class.

Amazing professor who makes expectations clear and grades very fairly. Attendance is not mandatory but the lectures are informative and interesting.
