Spring 2021 - I got a good grade, but wouldn’t recommend the professor. She would be a good mentor and person to know otherwise, but she will mess with your mind as a professor. Expect all of her quizzes to be filled with trick questions. Don’t bother with the textbook problems (I never even looked at them), just study the examples on her slides. Do the tax return project with your peers, because she will pick it apart viciously.

His lectures are well-organized and he cares about student learning. But his tests are fairly difficult and he gets upset when students point out that he is wrong. He is also impatient when students don't immediately understand a concept he is trying to convey. Overall he is a decent professor. Not bad.

Winter 2018 - Highly recommend this class. Gardner is a very clear and engaging professor who provides real-world examples and great investment and career advice. She can be a bit repetitive but that's how she makes the material stick. This is one of the few classes where you will actually remember the material after completing the course. I recommend doing all the assigned textbook problems in addition to reviewing the course reader to prepare for exams. The course reader lays down the key concepts you need to know for the exams and the textbook questions are good practice. Don't stress about the tax returns she makes you do - they're a small fraction of your grade and aren't correlated with exam questions. I got below 60% on two of them and still got an A in the class.
