Reviews of professor Joanna Wangerin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is the bane of my existence. The sheer amount of content involved in this class is way too much for a 3 credit class. I would recommend to never take this class, but unfortunately, it is required for every business major. To succeed you need to read the textbook very thoroughly every week, and utilize the practice problems.

This is a very difficult class, with quiz/exam averages typically hovering in the low 60's. Luckily, it is curved. The content is not difficult but there is a LOT to learn in a small amount of time. Get ready to pour hours into this class. Read the textbook thoroughly every single week. The majority of the grade is made up of exams and quizzes.

Super hard class however the curve is huge. Ended with a 42% and still got a C. It sucks that its a prerequisite but you will pass.

Accounting 100 has been the hardest class I've taken here at UW (and I've taken Chem AND Calc II). My TA taught all of the lectures and I only saw Wangerin once when she sat in on one of the first classes. The material itself seems fine when in class, but the readings are strenuous and the exams are incredibly difficult.

This class is entirely taught by TAs, which means you better hope you get lucky with a good TA. Difficult content but the curve is heavy. Practicing and reading are necessary to succeed in this class.

Joanna is a great professor, and she cares about her students. This class is Accounting 100, but harder. Most of the grade is based on exams and quizzes. Pay attention to the information on her slides, and don't try to focus on stuff that's not. The first exam has the lowest average so try to do good and you will set yourself up.

ACCT 100 is exclusively TA taught. My TA Josh was great and very helpful to learning the content. Class is a little difficult towards the end, but I had prior knowledge from accounting class in high school. Make sure to study for exams though. Class is curved pretty heavily.

Class is TA based, thankfully I had a good TA. Though she doesn't teach, I have spoken with Wangerin and she is very kind/understanding. Class is incredibly hard, I thought I understood something then did awful on the tests/quizzes. Content-heavy lectures move faster than I can process. Even my TA took the exams and said they were hard for her.

Like others said, very content heavy. Class is completely based off of the textbook, and you will have to read every chapter thoroughly. Exams are fairly difficult, but they are pretty manageable if you study in advance. Prof is super nice and gives plenty of practice problems to prepare for quizzes and exams and is super responsive to emails.
