Comments:ACC 2304 - I have no words. I studied for hours and understood the material just to bomb each exam. The mean scores for her exams are failing grades. If you are even considering this DO NOT DO IT!! She not only doesn't teach, but she is also so strict on her online exams. Just no.  - Grade In Class:F

Comments:ACC 2304 - !!!!!!!DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!! She is the WORST TEACHER EVER!!!! I simply cannot believe I had to pay to take this class. WASTE OF TIME. She is the oldest person i have ever met, no clue how she is allowed to teach (which is a strong word). She posts videos of the notes that have been pre done and just points to random numbers and you have no idea how she got them. She also makes you get a whiteboard, markers, and A EXTERNAL WEBCAM. IF you dont show every part of the room she will take points off. I tried to just teach myself the material and it was nothing like the tests. This class has 4 exams and a final, but if you do better on the final than one of your test grades, the lowest grade will drop. The video notes take HOURS to get through and the homework also takes so long. If you were going to take this class as an alternative to having to take online I would STRONGLY advise to take in person with a good teacher. I just have no words for this class and cant believe Baylor allows this women to teach. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!  - Grade In Class:F

Comments:acc2304 - betsy b willis is the worst teacher for acc2304. please do not take her she is awful, can't teach, and is so overbearing/strict for her online exams. please take acc2304 in person with a different professor.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:2303 - Do NOT take Willis!! The lectures were boring and not helpful. Just when I finally thought I was understanding the material, I would bomb the exam. She doesn't show you where you went wrong on the exams so you don't even know what you don't know. While there was some extra credit offered, the homework and exams were totally different. The hoemwork was based on problem solving and spreadsheets while exams were multiple choice based around concepts.  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:2303 - Oh, Betsy...... she's the worst professor I've ever had at Baylor. Listening to her will make you more confused. I basically taught myself to have an A in this class, and it was only possible because I was all online. You have no idea how many times I wanted to drop this course and spam her email with a message that SHE CAN'T TEACH. and DO YOUR BEST ON HW AND LABS. That's what saved my grade.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2302 - I just have to say one thing. worst teacher I have ever had. hands down. why become a teacher if your class just tears kids down? kind lady, wish her all the best, but just.. no.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:2303 - If her overall ratings don't tell you to steer clear of this woman's class, LET ME TELL YOU. I didn't come to Baylor and pay excessive amounts of money to literally teach myself accounting, and that's what I got. This woman has absolutely NO BUSINESS teaching online. If you're the type of person that can receive a packet of notes, give it a read through, and completely understand the already very difficult concepts of accounting, and THEN be expected to complete the difficult quizzes and homework assignments then by all means go for it. BUT if that doesn't sound like your ~cup of tea~ please do yourself a favor and take Carpenter (there's a reason his ratings are the best). I was so disappointed with this class because I was really interested in accounting prior to this semester and she completely ruined it for me. If I had not gone to every SI session I honestly don't think that I'd understand a THING about accounting (at least through Professor Willis' teachings). I'll play devil's advocate and say that because I didn't have her in-person, I can't give a full review, but if her in-person classes are anything like her online classes, good luck. I tried my butt of for this course, dumping time and money into studying and tutors in preparation for her tests with her so-called detailed reviews, and then the actual tests would use completely different terminologies and most of the things you studied wouldn't even be on the test. She totes her side-business (accounting practice) around as if that just greatly enhances her teaching ability, but in reality her lackluster teaching style just leaves you frustrated and confused. Do yourself a favor, from one student to another, and DON'T TAKE ACCOUNTING 2303 WITH BETSY WILLIS.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:2303 - I do not know why her ratings are so low. This class is not as difficult as some of the reviews claim. I started this class 3 weeks late due to an advising error and she was more than accommodating. She has homework due every friday and a quiz due every saturday. The work is open all week so you can do it whenever you want. I have her for all online so she just posts lecture videos. She provides you with fill in the blank notes that are very helpful for studying and easy to follow. She breaks her lectures up into 10-20 minute clips which is great and posts all the answers to the quizzes. The tests were direct reflections of the review material she provides and if you don't do well she offers a practical exam on saturday morning that you can take to raise your grade. Personally I have a 96 in this class and find it to be really easy to have a good grade even if you don't understand accounting that well. If you ever have any questions and email her she will get back to you very soon and will zoom at basically any time. She is a very sweet woman. Love her and this class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:3304 - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please take Mason if you have the opportunity. I get how some people excel in this classroom style but I personally got by only because I self-taught myself everything before the exams. Professor Willis is a super sweet lady, I just can't learn the way she teaches Tax.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:ACC 2303 - I had Professor Willis in the Fall of 2019, and she was great! She provides great notes, and the routine of the class is consistent, so as long as you keep up with the notes and homework on a regular basis, you should be good to go! Financial Accounting is hard for anyone, so it's a matter of how much effort you're willing to put into the class. She offers extra credit on every test just for doing the homework and getting an 80 or higher on it, so it all boils down to how much effort you put in. Also, READ BEFORE CLASS!! NO MATTER WHO YOU TAKE. ACCOUNTING IS HARD AT ANY LEVEL AND PROFESSORS ARE GOING TO WANT TO GET RIGHT TO IT AS IF YOU'RE ALREADY KINDA FAMILIAR WITH THE MATERIAL AS SOON AS YOU GET TO CLASS!!!!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2020-04-21

Comments:3304 - I've had Willis twice now, first for Financial Accounting and now for Tax. I may be in the minority here, but I believe the notes she provides and the online workout problems are enough to fully understand the material well enough for an A in the class. Make sure to do the homework problems she assigns. Just attempt it, as it's not collected for a grade.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2019-05-31

Comments:2303 - DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Betsy Willis is a terrible professor, I never thought I would have to make one of these but here we go... if you love the idea of having a flipped classroom take her cause she loves to make you learn everything on your own and not teach you. My SI is the only reason I knew anything cause she cannot teach. Her Tests are nothing like her reviews or class work so don't bother using them. If you have to take her, WAIT another semester and take DON CARPENTER! I went from dropping her class with a 46 to a 97 with carpenter. She's a joke and a waste of time and money.  - Grade In Class:DROP

Date: 2019-05-10

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis is the sweetest professor! She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Many people struggled with this class because you do need to complete the homework before class. However, if you are willing to put effort in, you will succeed in this class!! I learned a lot and enjoyed this class!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2018-12-12

Comments:2303 - AVOID!! She does not teach in class. General consensus is that unless you are a business fellows you are going to struggle in her class. Almost impossible to keep up with the 76 homework assignments during the semester. Made me switch majors. If you get stuck with her I am honestly so sorry for you.  - Grade In Class:C

Date: 2018-12-11

Comments:2303 - Betsy is a nice lady and a good person, however, I do not recommend taking her class for financial accounting. The work load for this class is AWFUL. You will have homework every night both written and online. I always did this and was somehow ALWAYS still unprepared for her class as she also wants you to do multiple voluntary questions that are poorly communicated. If you do take her class, GO TO SI. GO TO SI. Betsy will skip over concepts with the assumption that they will be learned in SI. Betsy's tests are also ridiculously hard. I wish I had known this early on, THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR HER TESTS IS DOING HER (Very hard) OPTIONAL MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS for each chapter. Many of the test questions will be nearly identical (if not occasionally identical). If you are struggling early on, READ THE BOOK (I know, it kinda sucks). Reading the book makes everything more sensible. If you take this class, a higher grade is not unobtainable, however, you will have to work for every point. Do the optional extra credit practices, they are for 5 points on the tests and you are going to NEED them. Good luck!  - Grade In Class:B

Date: 2018-12-08

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis is such a sweet teacher. Alot of the bad ratings are because people dont like homework and because her class is hard. She is really great at working with you if you are struggling and she will pretty much meet with you at any time. There is alot of work but if you go to SI they do alot of the homework there. If you pay attention in class and keep up with the work, you can get a good grade in this class.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2018-11-15

Comments:ACC 2303 - Mrs. Willis is the sweetest professor I have ever had. She provides lots of prep work, which seems like a lot, but this prep work HELPS A LOT. She calls on you in class, so be prepared to answer. If you do your work and you pay attention you will succeed. Also, go to office hours with any questions about the class or life. She cares about her students and she wants everyone to succeed. I would take her again!  - Grade In Class:B+

Date: 2018-11-13

Comments:ACC 2303 - Here's the thing - Betsy is a sweet lady, but she cannot teach. All she does is read the outlines she makes for each chapter and expects you to know exactly what she is talking about. I find accounting easy as a subject, but if I didn't, I would be literally screwed. Our SI (Adam is the best) taught most of us more than she ever did. She is very straight-forward about what will be on tests, which I appreciate. She isn't the best at teaching but you'll be fine if you commit to doing the work she assigns/going to SI if you need more help. Expect to do some self-teaching!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2018-04-14

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis is a good professor with a straightforward class. She assigns a good amount of homework, but most of it is optional and not for a grade. However, if you do the homework she assigns, it will greatly benefit you for the tests. She expects students to print out outlines for each chapter that she goes through in class. You also have access to numerous practice quizzes and tests that will adequately prepare you for each test. The material is not difficult as long as you put in the time, go to class, and occasionally participate during class. She also offers plenty of extra credit in the form of bonus homework assignments (very similar to the other homework), in-class competitions that you do as a group, and plenty of bonus points on each test. Bottom line: she is a nice lady and a good professor, and you can definitely get an A in this class as long as you do the work that she assigns (which is not too difficult). If you are still struggling, the SI is also a helpful resource as well. Mrs. Willis is great!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2018-04-11

Comments:ACC 2303 - Professor Willis is not as bad as people make her out to be. Yes, there is a decent amount of workload, but all of it was helpful to do well on the tests. She tells you exactly what work out problems will be on the test and gives you practice problems that are the exact same as on the test just with different numbers. She also gives extra credit that is just like normal homework and if you check your answers with a friend you will basically get free bonus points. GO TO SI!!! Natalie was amazing and was definitely part of the reason I made an A in the class. Anyone who says that Willis is horrible just didn't make an effort. She calls on you in class, and gets frustrated with you if you don't have an answer, but there is no reason you shouldn't. Natalie usually does the homework with you in SI so you should have the right answers. Just make a friend in class and help each other out with answers if you forget to do the homework. All in all, I would say that Professor Willis's class was not that bad but you have to put in the work.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2017-12-14

Comments:ACC 2303 - Willis is a hard teacher but has taught accounting for a long time so she knows how to hammer the concepts into your brain through the practice problems she gives out. However, she wasn't a very good teacher inside the class and I found class periods very useless. As a result, I had to learn almost everything outside of class which took many hours a week. However, if you put in the work you will be rewarded. She even has A LOT of extra credit opportunities on tests and homework so as long as you are willing to work you will learn a lot in this class and do well.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2017-12-13

Comments:ACC 2303 - Betsy Willis is by far the worst professor I have ever had in my college career. Be prepared to work a lot. Be prepared to not understand anything she says because she speaks in Accounting and not English. This professor is not a teacher, she is an accountant. If you already are prepared to teach yourself, or have no other option but to take her class, then may God bless your soul. Betsy plays favorites, so if you can, get on her good side. Please, PLEASE go to the SI sessions, they are your only hope. The only reason I managed to scrape by with a passing grade was because of Natty, #NattyFanClub #squadup  - Grade In Class:C

Date: 2017-12-01

Comments:ACC 2303 - Mrs. Willis assigns a lot of homework but everything required helped me fully understand the concepts and prepare for the test. She assigns online homework, in-class prep, and sometimes written but she gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. She goes through the material fast but has a well-organized syllabus. Do the homework problems and definitely go to SI!!! Overall, great first exposure of accounting for someone who chose it as their major!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2017-05-11

Comments:ACC 2303 - I LOVE Betsy. She thoroughly explained the concepts, and her notes were outlined in a way that made the material easier to grasp. You need to do the work!! You can't expect to get an A in any accounting class without working the problems and explaining the concepts. She has 4 tests, and MyAccountingLab homeworks, which you should do anyway, because it gives you a good idea on what you've mastered/what you need to re-work. She gives extra credit, and an opportunity to earn additional points on your exams. She is such a sweet lady, and will give a dose of sass when appropriate. Go to office hours, go to SI (God bless Natalie- she's incredible), and you should be fine.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC 4377 - THIS CLASS WAS SO DISORGANIZED. Seriously. Throw the syllabus into the trash because it doesn't matter at all. Nobody knew when assignments were actually due or when tests would be. The first 15 minutes of class was, without fail, Mrs. Willis trying to get the lesson together for that day. Additionally, Willis does not treat everyone impartially. I saw Mrs. Willis accept a late homework once, then another time she completely rejected a student trying to turn in a problem set the same day it was due, but after class. I don't care if a professor plays favorites, but geez. If the other evaluations praise her "flexibility" it's because those students were benefiting from her laissez faire approach. For me, it made it hard to keep up with what was going on and when I should actually start working on her assignments.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:ACC 2303 - What you talkin' about Willis?  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2017-02-01

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis is a professor that expects you to do the work, and for accounting, that is very necessary and not unreasonable to ask of her students. There is homework every night, but I felt as if it really helped me understand the material. Class itself can be overwhelming and fast-paced, but the notes you get are great and make studying for Mrs. Willis' class easy. She also gives out A LOT of extra credit, so that is nice. My only complaint is that her office hours are generally in the early morning, so that is rough, but she is extremely helpful during that time. Don't let these reviews deter you; if you put in the effort, you will be fine.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2017-01-08

Comments:2303 - This is the only class I have failed my entire life. I had a 3.6 last semester so my failing isn't because I'm stupid. Everyday, sitting in her class, I felt like an idiot (even after hours of independent note taking because she literally talks/yells at you the entirety of the class period so it's difficult to learn anything). I felt anger towards this woman on a daily basis for making any whisper of a social life I had be dedicated to doing hours upon hours of financial accounting busy work. You literally learn nothing from this class. She is by far the worst teacher I have ever had (and that's saying a lot because I had a teacher in high school who would fart throughout the whole of the class and was borderline psychotic) If you take her, drop while you can to save your gpa/sanity, or just prepare for the hardest semester of your life. Any other review on here that has even a hint of positivity is coming from an accounting major. DO NOT TAKE HER SAVE YOUR SOUL (side note, I probably spent at least 15 hours a week working on this one class)  - Grade In Class:F

Date: 2016-12-14

Comments:ACC 2303 - She seems nice but she's an absolute snake. She makes the entire class feel like complete idiots and she expects us to do about 6 hours of homework every night. On top of everything she has office hours at 8:00 am.....need I say more? WHO DOES THAT? She knows that nobody understands anything in the class and yet she just moves on going a million miles an hour. Her "class notes" are completely horrible and unhelpful. I feel like she spends her weekends just scheming about ways to murder the entire class. Either way she will probably murder your GPA so just save yourself before it's too late.  - Grade In Class:B

Date: 2016-12-12

Comments:ACC 2303 - The problem I have with this class is the sheer amount of work required. Mrs. Willis means well by assigning so many problems, but it is not an effective way to learn accounting. She assigns so much that it is hard to keep up with assignments, especially when she constantly adds to the syllabus or makes changes without clearly letting you know what will be due. She seems sweet at first, but she will not be kind to you if you don't know the answer in class. She goes around the classroom and asks for answers to practice problems daily, and keeps a running total of how many you answer correctly over the course of the semester. The only nice thing about this class is the extra credit, which is definitely needed to even make a passing grade. I expect to have a B in the course, but it could be lower than that because she doesn't post grades on a consistent basis. Overall, I would avoid this class if possible. Her SI is helpful and I would recommend going regularly if you are forced to take Willis.  - Grade In Class:B

Date: 2016-11-15

Comments:2303 - You hit the ground running immediately when the first day of class starts. There is very little introductory material. It seemed to me that she expected us to have a general understanding of accounting from the beginning. For me, I felt like we were covering relatively challenging concepts on the first day and that trend continued until I dropped. If there were not an attendance policy, I probably would not have bothered showing up for class because my accounting tutor was more helpful. In class, she goes through the notes very quick and whatever she writes on her notes you only see for a very brief amount of time. Her note packets are just saturated with information with poor explanations. Even though the book is dreadfully boring, it is more useful than the notes. Also, her tests are very difficult and take up a lot of time. Good look to those of you who are slow test takers like me. The online homework is relatively consistent; however, the book homework is tricky because she always changes the book assignments that are written down in the syllabus.  - Grade In Class:DROP

Date: 2016-11-15

Comments:2303 - Tough class. Ridiculous work load for an introductory pre-req. She likes to make students feel/look dumb in class, especially if you don't do the assigned class prep beforehand. Barely got by somehow  - Grade In Class:C+

Date: 2016-11-02

Comments:1304 - Mrs. Willis is a very tough old lady set in her ways of teaching. She has you print off a packet for each chapter to follow along with for note taking. Seems easy right? NOPE. She doesn’t fill in any of the actual helpful information to the packet, and flashes it on the screen for a minute, not giving you time to ever write down the info. RIP if you come to class without doing her huge load of homework because she will call you out and make you feel like crap for not knowing the correct answer. She never once showed a confused student how to find the correct answer while I was in her class. She will only have another classmate say the answer and make the confused classmate feel dumb. She never put grades on Canvas, so you won’t know what you have in the class all semester. Figuring out which homework is due in the first place is difficult with her because she always switches around off the original syllabus of homework.  - Grade In Class:DROP

Comments:ACC 2303 - Do not take this professor unless you want to spend LITERALLY ALL OF YOUR TIME doing her homework. Mrs. Willis' class is insane. She does a decent job explaining notes in class, but the bookwork is 10 times harder and the tests always blindsided me. Go to SI or you will be lost. The only thing that's good about Mrs. Willis is that she offers extra credit through homework and class competitions. If you (like me) are one of the last ones to register for classes and Mrs. Willis is the only teacher left for accounting, just take the class at your local community college and transfer the credit. It will save you time for other classes, save your money, and most importantly, it will save your sanity.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:2303 - Very helpful and kind professor. She really wants all her students to do well. Her class is not hard if you do the work and study for the tests. She also makes the final so you will be ready for it. She is the greatest of all time!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2016-08-21

Comments:ACC 2303 - Mrs. Willis is an excellent professor. Her tests are fair and cover material that you can easily understand if you put the work in. She also offers tons of extra credit. On top of this, she is extremely nice and helpful if you don't understand something. Very happy to have Mrs. Willis as a professor and would definitely recommend her. She is the GOAT!  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2016-05-08

Comments:2303 - Despite her ratings Professor Willis is a very nice lady. However, she is not the best teacher. Her tests are somewhat difficult but if you study you can get an A. She gives you the resources to get an A. Being in class pretty much sucks because she hauls through the notes and you have to teach yourself afterwards. Go to SI and you can get an A.  - Grade In Class:B+

Date: 2016-04-17

Comments:ACC 2303 - Easily one of the most disrespectful professors I've had. Makes you feel stupid if you don't know an answer, expects students to learn the entire course by themselves, and barely teaches the material herself. Worse of all she failed multiple students with grades such as 69.8, 68.7, and so on. Terrible teacher...  - Grade In Class:C

Date: 2016-01-16

Comments:2303 - To start, I am a freshman Business Fellow and was one of the four freshmen in the class. This automatically put me on a pedestal in Mrs. Willis's eyes. Her class is very, very time consuming. I would spend an average of about nine hours a week on her homework. That was only doing the required homework. She assigns a ton of extra, busy work that you are supposed to have completed before class. If you do not complete this, she will call you out if she gets to you. She offers a TON of extra credit. Each test, she gives an assignment worth five points to be added to that test. This extra credit saved my grade in the long haul. My test grades were: B,A,C,A and an 88 on the final. I ended up getting a 98% in the homework category which is a nice bumper as well. My final grade was a 91.84 which in her class is an A. Summary: Be prepared to teach yourself a lot, do the extra credit, and get on a personal level with her real quick and you'll be just fine! Good luck!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Financial - Ms Willis is a lady who has no sympathy for students who do not come to class prepared. She frequently goes around the room to ask students what they got for homework problems (ungraded homework problems.... so nobody does them... but you should). She gets irritated if you don't have the right answer too, but not as irritated if you don't have it at all. The worst thing you can say in her class is "I didn't do it" or "I don't have it". You have some homeworks that are graded (the ones on the syllabus) and that usually helps your grade. Other than the written homework (5%), the rest of your grade consists of myaccountinglab (5%), tests (4, 18% each) and the final (cumulative also 18%). She does offer a lot of extra credit on tests (I got 17 points total, and lots of people got more than that). Her grading scale is nice too- her minus's are like 88-89s. You should defiantly buy the book because that is where the class prep comes out of each day. She organizes her classes by outlines she creates (which are very helpful) and while y'all are working through them (read: frantically copying down what she wrote and is showing you on the overhead) she tells you which will be test questions (my recommendation: star or highlight all of these, then re-print the outline with only the stared/highlighted questions/material on it and make sure you can work through them. The more stuff you print out in this class and more you work through the problems, the better your grade will be. The tests are also pretty long, so make sure you work fast! Her class is defiantly manageable, and don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand (she will like you more if you ask questions, plus you will actually understand the material). I gave her availability a 2 only because her office hours were always during my class times, but you can still set up an appointment with her.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC 2303 - Professor Willis is pretty bad. She moves through material quickly and can be mean when answering questions. There were numerous occasions that I felt dumb because of the demeaning way she spoke to students during class. She expects a lot from her students and is unwilling to deal with students who do not put in the time and effort. There is always class prep, MyAccountingLab, and bookwork. The best thing about this class is the extra credit she offers on every test. There are projects you can complete for up to 5 points extra credit on every exam as well as at least 5 extra credit problems on the actual exam. She helps write the departmental final so students in her sections will have a benefit there. She uses extensive outlines for notes which is really nice. Overall, Willis is okay as long as you put in the work and get on her good side. DO THE CLASS PREP!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2303 - What I liked about Mrs. Willis: She's very qualified, she's taught at Baylor for a long time. She worked at a major firm as the first female accountant. She is very friendly to students during her office hours. Her homework and class prep will make the tests easier. Her SI is a life-saver. Her tests also have multiple bonus questions, making it possible to score over 100 on a test. She also gives ample extra credit homework, thus allowing you to redeem your grade if you've been blowing off the homework. What I disliked about Mrs. Willis: She makes you buy MyAccountingLab, which is expensive. She assigns work in addition to what is on the syllabus, and she'll call on you in class to say what you put down, even if you didn't do it. Every class meeting she would get extremely frustrated with students who didn't complete their work, whether that be because they didn't understand it or because they didn't try. Her office hours were either at 8am or during my other classes. I wish she would've had more afternoon office hours.  - Grade In Class:A

Date: 2015-11-17

Comments:2303 - Willis seems to have a bad reputation among students as she expects you to learn (or at least have a general idea of) the material before getting to class each day. She requires class prep from the book for homework which typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. She also has online assignments once or twice a week which aren't too difficult. She gives LOTS of extra credit making it easy to be successful on tests. Be sure to take advantage of SI and complete class preps because she calls on students asking for answers and if you don't have one she counts off. Ask her questions if you're unsure and give answers when she asks the class and she'll like you. If you complete class preps and pay attention in class (don't skip) this class is definitely manageable.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Tax Planning - She is a very nice lady but will randomly assign five assignments that are not on the syllabus at the end of class. The tests are hard only because she does the most complicated multiple choice questions she can find. The tests are open-note for the second part of the class which is cool. Overall, this class is WAY better than the other option (Intermediate Accounting), but Willis is simply in a place where she needs to retire.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:2303 - Willis is a Jolly old lady and has a daughter our age so she also gets us. However, she has little patience for people who don;t do their work. There's homework on my accounting lab everyday and it's due at a certain time, whether it be before or after your class time. We had 3 tries on each HW. She also gives countless amounts of worksheets and even though she may not pick it up, she randomly calls on people in class to answer questions one the worksheet so you have to be prepared. Doesn't have to be a right answer but something is fine. There's written HW that she takes up and has her grader grade. Exams and Multiple choice like 37-40 questions and workout problems like 2-4. The best part is she gives ALOT of bonus points for extra work she hands out and BONUS questions on the exam so you could possibly have 110 out 0f 100. When she tries to explain the material in class and you don't get it, she gets mad and worried that you'll fail the exam. You will NEED to set out time to meet with a tutor or go for office hours and read the book because she's not the best at explaining I promise you this. If you want a C to pass take her, if you want an A take Professor Ford. Good luck  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:ACC 2303 - I thought Mrs. Willis was an excellent teacher! The one tip I have for those about to take her class is due all of the annoying homework because she will call on people in class. If you have an answer (doesn't even have to be correct) she will like you and that will pay off! Also, go to the SI's! There is definitely homework but it will help you do good on the test.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC 2303 - DO NOT TAKE HER! she requires way too much for each student to do every night and if you dont do the work then you sit through class confused all the time. She expects you to learn all of the material on your own and then come to class with questions. she doesnt teach and her test are extremly hard (class average normally in the low 70's). the only good thing about having her is that she writes the departmental exam for the final so you will be more prepared than other students.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:Financial ACC - Willis gets a bad rap, but mostly from people who can't even get into the business school because they can't pass her class. Financial is not hard at all. You might have to teach yourself some of the material, but it is not difficult. I didn't get below a 100 on a test. She gives a lot of extra credit. Take her if you like accounting. If you think you'll hate ACC, go elsewhere.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC2304 - I'm here to up vote Mrs. Willis. She's NOT that terrible as some one else described, and I feel she's kinda like my granny: kind and nice but strict with my study. As an international student it is really hard for me to catch up with other classmates at the beginning, and Mrs' Willis doesn't use PowerPoint shows, she illustrate concepts by projecting her handouts. Her handwriting is in cursive, which is even harder for me o recognize. However, after the first exam, I thought I found the key to do better. All you need to do to success in this course is doing class preps, finishing all the assignments, and attend SI (Supplemental Instruction)sessions as many as possible, since it's kinda hard to cover everything in a 50 minute class, and to be honest I feel the SI mentor explains the concepts more clear and in detail than Mrs. Willis. Her workload is pretty heavy, but totally acceptable -- that's the nature of this course, the more you practice the better grades you can get. And finally, she can replace your lowest exam grade with the final grade,(I got like 78 on the first exam, but I still got an A at the end) and she DOES OFFER many extra credit opportunities. Anyway, if you can do your part, it's not difficult to get an A!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2303 - Willis' class isn't terrible. It's definitely hard but she gives you the resources that you need to excel. If you take advantage of EVERY resource (SI, nightly readings and class prep, bonuses) then you will do well in the class. Willis herself is very mean and condescending. She thinks every one of her students is already a CPA and if they don't know accounting concepts then that's their fault. A difficult but doable class taught by a rude teacher.  - Grade In Class:C+

If you pay attention and work hard its an easy A. she gives you the test questions hints in class and practically gives you EVERY resource to excel in this class. you just have to do it.

Dont take this class if you expect it to be slow and easy. you have to work for it in this class and its doable with other class work.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2303 - Miss Betsy was unlike any professor I have ever had before. SHE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE AND SELF CONFIDENCE. Her goal is to make students miserable and leave her class crying. She was rude and unprofessional and will literally call on you at any moment and targets those students who are not doing as well in her class and if you get the answer wrong she will make you feel idiotic. Upon emailing her for extra help she did not respond and when I asked her about it after class she told me her only office hours were 20min before the start of class. She may look like a sweet grandma but don't let it fool you this lady is cold. The test were multiple choice with a written portion and you will feel like you are taking a test in another language as her test are very difficult. The workload was large with homework and reading due everyclass. She's been around for ever and thinks she's all high and mighty and doesnt realize we have never seen accounting before. Everyone cringes when she walks in the room. DO NOT TAKE HER, she will ruin your life.  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:ACC1302 - Unless you have no life and you are not taking any other classes other than accounting, DO NOT TAKE HER. She assigns so much HW, you won't have time to do HW for other classes. You'll do great if you have time to do class prep, written HW, practice problems, do online HW (due at 8am), study, and read chapters in the book EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:ACC 2303 - Mrs. Willis is an awesome teacher! She made me want to major in Accounting. Yes her class is hard but DO THE CLASS PREP BEFORE EVERY CLASS!!!! It takes hours but I promise it's worth it! The people who do the class prep are the ones who do the best on the tests. Additionally, she gives lots of extra credit opportunity.

Take advantage of this and you can go far in this class. She offers great SI's and thats were I really learned the material, becasue I never paid attention in class. The courseload is alot but it prepares you for the test. I never studied much for the test becasue all the information had already been drilled into my head through all the homework. Half the homework is on my accounting lab and you can do it as many times untill you get a 100. She also drops like 2 of your lowest homework grades.

Comments:ACC 2303 - First off, Ms. Willis loves accounting and she's very passionate about the subject. Her availability is pretty good and she'll treat you respectfully. That being said, Willis ruined my life. If you're reading this, you're required to take this class, so you don't have any easy alternatives. Sit in the front, complete all of the homework even though it seems like there is way too much to complete, get a TUTOR, and read the test questions VERY CAREFULLY. I'm not trying to scare you away because you have nowhere to run to. I ran home crying (literally) after the first test, drank myself into oblivion, and skipped the entire next day of classes to lie in bed and think about where my life was going, but the tests get easier as the semester unfolds. Best of luck to you!! Maybe I'll see you in this class in the Spring :)  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis seriously isn't bad. When you leave her class, you'll know your stuff. There isn't too much homework that is actually for a grade, but there is quite a bit of prep work you do for every class and exercises that she assigns. While the workload is pretty big, it is really necessary to be successful in the class. But I think that will be the same for ANY accounting class. I can assure you that the more you practice, the easier it will be for you. She does assign questions on MyAccounting Lab, which I thought were pretty pointless and a waste of money because she only assigns like 10 questions all semester. The exams aren't difficult, but you do have to watch the time! She gives TONS of oppurtunity for extra credit. I would definitely take her again.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC 2303 - She is a very nice lady & seems to care about the students. She goes very fast & if you don't understand the topic, either ask her after class or go to SI. If you get Abby for SI, GO TO EVERY SI. She is very helpful! Willis' workload is HUGE! Several problems every night for homework & several practice problems a night. You have packets to print off of blackboard with all of the notes, problems, & practice quizes. I'd recommend her. She was a good teacher & made accounting as good as it can be.   - Grade In Class:B

Comments:Financial Acc - She was a very good professor. She may seem like she doesn't care if you fail but if you go into her office hours she will help. She does frustrated when people do not do their homework or do not know the answer. But who could blame her? I only did as much as I needed to understand it and the rest of the problems 5 minutes before class. There was a ton of work assigned but a lot of it is pretty repetitive and pointless. She also had written homework due most classes. Her tests were not very hard as long as you understand remotely what is going on in class. They were more tricky than challenging. I missed most of my points on not reading the questions correctly than actually not knowing what to do. She offers a good amount of bonus points on the exams as well as extra credit assignments to help our homework and test grades. She does use My Accounting Lab. It was a waste of my time and $70 to use My Accounting Lab for what? Ten homework assignments? Overall she was a friendly and knowledgeable professor who (secretly) wants her students to do well.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2302 - WORST professor I've ever had! She doesn't care if you pass this class or not. And she doesn't care if you know anything about accounting.

She assigns a ton of homework and on top of that even more class excercises due everyday which aren't homework but she still holds you responsible for. Worst of all are her tests that honestly try to trick you. I knew all the hw, practice tests, si tests, and then on her test she changes the words on things to simply confuse you. All year its been called a discount then on the test its now called a proceed. Unacceptable. Save yourself while you can  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:ACC 2303 - Betsy is incredible. She gives you so much practice and great notes. If you do the homework and practice problems she assigns and study the outline notes that she goes over with you in class, you will understand all the material when it's test time, so you won't have to study that hard. You can't expect to copy your friend's homework every day and know what's going on when it's test time...that's just unreasonable, but if you do your work, you'll understand it all. Also, she offers great extra credit on every test! Usually from 10-15 points per test. That's huge. You're missing out if you take anyone but Betsy Willis. Hands down, the best teacher I've had at Baylor.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2303 - Okay, so this is my SECOND time to take this class. I had to drop first time because her class was so hard. I think her teaching style is terrible. She gives hours of homework. Unless your really good at accounting, usually the class avg on test is around a 60. Unless you sit in the front row and have her phone number on speed dial she pretty much hates you. If you're an accounting major i highly recommend taking her as you do learn a lot and she really challenges you, but if you are a bus. major taking this to fulfill DO NOT, DO NOT take her class. or if you're bad at accounting. its GPA suicide.   - Grade In Class:B

Comments:2303 - Accounting can be a bit overwhelming at first but if you keep up and do all the homework and the class prep then you should be ok.

Comments:2nd ACC - Prof Willis can actually teach in a way that students can understand. I did poorly in the first accounting, but it was smooth sailing with Professor Willis.

I love schedules, and her syllabus is like 5 pages long (i love ittt). She def sticks to her schedule. Obviously this class is going to take a lot of outside work no matter who you take, but Ms. Willis really prepares you for the test. I never read the book, but i did all the assignments, and i got an A on every test.

Comments:2303 - Mrs. Willis is certainly not the nicest professor, but if you cannot get into Abbe’s class for financial accounting, she is probably your second best bet. Mrs. Willis limits out some of the harder material from some of the chapters in the textbook that other professors still cover. As you have probably heard, accounting is a difficult class. It is paramount that you work super hard and understand everything up through the first test because that is when you will cover the fundamentals of accounting. If you don’t grasp these concepts in the begging, the rest of the course will not make sense. The secret to doing well in this class is to do all of your homework, make sure you understand the homework, and to go to the supplemental instruction sessions. The SI sessions can be very helpful in gaining an understanding of the material and for getting help on the homework. I would recommend trying to attend all that you can. Mrs. Willis moves extremely fast through the material in class, and I actually learned most of the material from the SI sessions. I wouldn’t recommend utilizing Mrs. Willis’s office hours because she is not a very patient person and doesn’t take the necessary time to explain concepts. She will just make you feel like a complete fool in her office, and you will come out feeling upset and discouraged. If you don’t understand something, I would meet up with the SI instructor. The tests consist of a multiple-choice section and then a work out problem. The largest downside to the exams are that they are really long, and it is easy to run out of time in a fifty minute class period. Try spending only twenty minutes on the multiple-choice and then saving the rest of the time for the workout problem. I would especially recommend this strategy on the first test because the workout problem is very long and hard. The workout problem is usually similar to the class exercises or the class competition problem, and Mrs. Willis will always tell you which chapter it comes from. The final in the class is comprehensive and difficult. Try to make good grades on the first four tests so that you have a high average going into the final. Mrs. Willis does offer a lot of extra credit on the tests. Some of it takes a while but you are simply doing more practice for the test, so I would recommend taking advantage of all opportunities. The 5 points extra credit on each test can really help out your average. Try to also go to class as much as you can, and always do the class prep for each class. You will be called on during class to give your answers to the class prep questions, and you lose participation points if you have not completed the assignment. If you are a chamber man, you are pretty much extremely favored in this class. The best way to study for each test is simply to rework problems on the class exercises, SI handouts, and to do the extra credit assignment as a final review. Hit the ground running working hard, and you will do fine.  - Grade In Class:A

There is a good deal of homework involved in the course but it will help your overall understanding. I felt the tests were a good assesment of the course material.

The one class that I should have but most of my work into, I hardley put in anything. Anyways, the class is not that bad, but there is a lot of work and preparation that's needed. She calls on you a lot during classes and if you don't get the answer right it hurts your grade just a little. There is lots of homework but no quizzes, and quite a bit of extra credit for tests. With a little bit of google searching you can find a website with the answers to all of the homework (work and everything). I guess I would suggest taking her, just don't slack off like me or it will cost you.   - Grade In Class:F

Comments:Financial Accounting - She is a nice lady, but she moves through the notes really quick. She tells you pretty much everything that will be on the tests. You really have to pay attention and participate in class because class participation is a part of your grade. She gets really frustrated when srudents don't come prepared for class.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:ACC 4377 - I had Ms. Willis for Personal and Bus. Tax. She is a nice lady. She is a little scattered when assigning homework and class exercises, but she is flexible when about turning graded assignments in. She is fairly humerous when she teaches and the class was not too boring. The homework load is easy enough. HW is usually due once a week. Tests aren't terrible. Keep up in class and you won't have to study but a couple of days before the test. Open book, open notes on the last 45minutes of the test. You'll learn the material with limited stress. I recommend Ms. Willis.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC 2303 - Mrs. Willis is AMAZING!!! She is genuinly the sweetest person and professor that I have met at Baylor. Accounting is tough, but if you have to take it, get Betsey Willis. She will help you anytime after class, just be prepared with HW assignments and you'll do great.   - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:2303 - DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!! ANYONE BUT!! She plays favorites and does not teach the material at all, she will not give you time to work a problem in class or to copy the notes (she covers them up) AND she calls on everyone in class all day long! You WILL have 3~5 homework assignments everynight and they are not short. And for those who are usually the favorite, dont bet on being her favorite, she only likes the soroiety types and is not friendly to males period. Do yourself a favor and do not take her YOU WILL BE TEACHING YOURSELF ACCOUNTING IF YOU TAKE HER, and that is not worth your money.  - Grade In Class:D

Comments:2303 - She's nice and friendly, but she does move very fast through the material and assigns a LOT of homework. I stopped doing all of it early in the semester because it was simply too much to do given that I have other classes and responsibilities, and I'm in a relationship.  - Grade In Class:C+

Comments:ACC2303 - She goes pretty fast sometimes but if you don't understand she is more than willing to help. She gives plenty of reviews for the test so if you do those the test are pretty easy. Lots of hw but its helpful.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:FIn. Acc. - This class is tough, but Willis is a great lady and wants you to do well. Best advice in the world: always answer her questions in class even if you are clueless. She rewards the people who she thinks want to do well with points in her little grade book. Overall a wonderful lady and probably the way to go in this class, which is pretty rough.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:ACC2303 - Mrs. Willis was a great Accounting teacher who is nice, friendly, and teaches the material in a way that students can understand. Her only weakness is her office hours and willingness to help. If you go to the SI though, you can get all the help you need. So, if you want to take an Accounting class that goes at a good pace and where you can learn the material easily without working with the professor, take Willis!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2303 - Goes very fast and assigns alot of homework, but that is pretty much the story for all accounting teachers. From what I hear from my friends in other classes Willis seems like the way to go.  - Grade In Class:A
