This is one of the easier upper-level accounting courses I've had. You do not have a choice about which professor to choose, so I'll tell you a little about what goes on in the class. Dr. Colbert sounds tough when you read the syllabus, but she's really a very fun teacher and is very excited about the subject of audit. She does expect you to be in class for every class meeting. Even if you miss because of an interview or a job-seeking related event, she wants documentation of your visit to prove where you were. Rather than tests, she gave us multiple choice "assessments" which covered only one or two chapters. These are all taken on Blackboard (and most are timed), so you receive immediate feedback. The last few assessments were open-book and open-note. Though the class is pretty easy, there is a lot of busy work involved. She constantly has little assignments that are due, but she generally gives you at least a week to complete them. You do have to give a two-minute presentation over an audit related topic. (You must wear a professional business suit when giving your presentation or points will be deducted.) Sometimes she records lectures that you watch from Blackboard, rather than attending class. I didn't read the book; I just used it to clarify some things that I didn't understand from the lecture and during the open-book assessments. I really liked the class and Dr. Colbert.
