Reviews of professor Marli Pieterse

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolute worst prof. Doesn't explain concepts properly and midterms are different than what she teaches in class. Class started with over 35 people there is less than half now.

This class was one of the best I have taken at MRU. Marli cares deeply for her students success and is easily accessible outside of class. Anyone complaining about the exams just didn't work hard or isn't cut out for accounting. Work hard, do the practice questions, and reach out if you need help. If you do this you will succeed.

Marli responding to emails so slow, and there is no basic announcement before the exam. Midterms are different than what she teaches in class. She offers absolute no help and wants you to fail.

Great Prof. If you show up and take notes its very easy to understand what she is looking for. Falling behind is not an option, little studying throughout the week made this class a breeze I thought. She uses class examples for everything she teaches which makes it easy to follow along and look back when needed.

Marli's audit class was easily the best ACCT class I've taken at MRU. She structures it as a 'flipped' classroom where you do your reading before class and do your 'homework' in a group. It is very conventional and easily comparable to the real world of working in an audit team. She also answers any question in great detail. 10/10

Took a midterm exam and it was horribly difficult. Instead of giving us the full 1hour and 20 minutes, as stated on the Course Outline, she cut it down by 5 minutes, which could've been useful. She wants you to not finish exam and fail, and then retake the class. She's a money grabber and will not take class AGAIN. All she cares is money for sure.

I really like Marli. She is a very good teacher, is always available to help, and responds quickly to emails. I really enjoyed this class with her. The course is quite hard and she is a difficult marker, but she will help you along the way if you ask.

Such an amazing prof, easily one of my favorite accounting profs at MRU. (Btw, I am in my final semester) She made the class as entertaining as possible also allowing us to actually work on group assignments during class unlike other profs. She makes her lectures engaging by cracking jokes and comparing to real-life events. She is awesome.

Shes a great prof! The course itself is quite heavy and you really need to put in effort to do well. The final was quite difficult but youll do great if you put work in!

Marli is pretty bad. Take any other prof than her if you want to get higher than a D+ in the course.
