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.

Winter 2025 - I think the hate is a bandwagon thing honestly. She is a great accounting teacher, and tries her best the make the material enjoyable, even if she can be a little over the top. She can have a little bit of a bite to her but shes kinda just "that bitch." When she says review the pamplet, REVIEW the pamphlet. The tests are basically the pamplet without notes, so you fill in all the details. I severely underestimated how hard the midterm and final would be and thought it would be self explantory, no my brain blanked out. The projects aren't hard, just very time consuming, I think I genuinely learned a lot. Get friends in this class and help eachother out!
