Spring 2025 - I loved this class and Professor Berges did an excellent job making the material easy to understand. She offered plenty of practice opportunities and was always willing to clarify concepts. Her lectures were well organized, and I felt supported throughout the course. I would definitely recommend doing the homework assignments she gives since most of the test material is based on those concepts. She also offers plenty of extra credit throughout the quarter. This class was a great introduction to accounting and was honestly what made me want to continue learning more. I would definitely recommend this class to other students.

Spring 2025 - Professor Devitto is not a career professor, he actually came from being a real life accounting so he brings in real world relevant information that is actually useful to the business sphere. He doesnt just teach you what a journal entry is and how to do it, he teaches you why you need to journal entry and what this can tell you about certain companies. If you can get him as a teacher definitely do, he is amazing. Also teaches 1B so you could potentially have him again.

Winter 2021 - This is one of the most incredible teachers I have ever had the privilege to learn from at UCLA. Her lectures are succinct and interesting. I would 100% recommend anyone to take this class because it will teach you so many valuable things about finance. Prof Gardner was kind and I found that when it came to reasonable requests, she happily granted them. By FAR the best teacher I have had at UCLA and she teaches the information incredibly well.

Fall 2025 - Very engaging lecturer and can clearly teach the material well. However, she does not post lecture recordings nor record lecture notes, so you kinda have to attend the lectures and/or read the textbook. Exams are very straightforward - as long as you do the suggested textbook problems you’ll be fine. Would definitely take again with Gardner.
