Unorganized teacher

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the best people I have ever met. Kay is super nice, funny, and makes class fun. However, I could not learn with her teaching style. Her lectures were long and threw so much information at us at once, with very little opportunity for homework and practice. Be prepared to study and go to office hours so you can learn one-on-one.

Kay is the best professor I have had at Iowa. She genuinely cares about her students and is willing to help you if you ask for it. She has plenty of real-world tax experience and uses this during lectures. You do have to work for your grade in her class, but you learn so much. I am planning on pursuing tax because of this class.

Kay is very respectful and nice, and willing to help if you need it. However, the way she structures the class, the only way to be successful is to attend her office hours. There is no TA for the class so office hours are limited and often busy. Her slide decks are extremely long and hard to dissect the important information that you need.

There is absolutely no prep for the exams so you go in blind. Pop quizzes were hard. Makes you work for the grade but very polite and caring professor.

Kay is a great teacher who cares that her students learn what is important for the C.P.A. and real world. Be ready to put in the work, but if you do, you will do well.

Kay rocks. She cares about the success of her students both while they are her students and after they have graduated. She emphasizes useful knowledge for life and questions that will likely be on the test. If Kay taught all the accounting courses I would take them all with her.

Kay does a great job teaching and makes sure her students have the right resources/knowledge to be successful in class.

Kay is an incredible professor...probably the best I've had at the University of Iowa.  She brings her years of tax experience and brightens what can be a dull topic with interesting stories and fun ways to remember certain things. You'll have to work hard but you will learn a TON!!

Kay is the best professor I've had at Iowa. She is inspired me to go into a career in tax. The class requires a LOT of effort to to succeed, but she is makes herself available and will match your effort every step of the way. If you show you care and go to her office hours, she will do everything in her power to help you learn. She is the BEST!!

Kay is a wonderful professor. You need to come to class and put in effort, but she lets you know what to prepare for on exams. She's available outside of class and super welcoming. Probably my favorite professor at this university.
