This class is awesome. Woo makes accounting not boring. I highly recommend taking accounting during the quarters where woo is teaching.
If you are taking this class for your major, trust your future into Woo's divine understanding of accounting and how to teach it. Her lectures are clear, concise and her teaching format is honestly just the best I've seen at UCLA. Also, taking MGMT 1B with her the quarter after taking MGMT 1A is a no-brainer so do that.
I managed an A in this class even though I got B's on all 3 of the quizzes and one big assignment that I got a C. She also gives two points extra credit if you complete the teacher evaluation. The textbook is very helpful as there are many practice problems and exercises to do and reading the material will help clarify any confusion, but Prof. Woo was very clear about all the information so only the exercises were needed. Would definitely take the class again and MGMT 1B with her.

Professor Woo is an excellent and well-organized teacher. Her lectures are clear, the notes have good examples, and office hours are very helpful. Grades consisted of three exams that were equally weighted, open note, and not cumulative. Homework wasn't collected and was helpful for applying concepts from lectures, but the problems weren't exactly like exams. Even though exam averages were pretty high she gave 3 points of extra credit for completing the course evaluation. You can really tell that Professor Woo cares for her students and wants you to succeed. I hope I get the chance to take another class with Professor Woo!
One of the worst lecturers in the accounting minor. Although I received an A in her class, I would never take her class again and would not recommend anyone to take her class.
-Weekly homework assignments roughly take 4 hours.
-Weekly readings are 80+ pages and she expects you to read each page in depth.
-Midterm and final exams are ridiculously hard, similar to Ravetch 1B exams. No multiple choice.
-She does not care if her students understand the material, she only cares to rush/finish her lecture and cram a large amount of material in each lecture.
-Lectures are unappealing and boring as she directly reads off her notes without clearly explaining the reasoning.
-She constantly showed up late to office hours.
-She does not give practice midterm or finals, and does not hold review sessions.
This is a challenging class, but Professor Woo was quite helpful in making the accounting equations make sense. She teaches the basics thoroughly so that everything that comes after is manageable. Make sure to study the worksheets and ask as many questions as possible. She is very engaging and makes sure students are prepared for the final.
Professor Woo is amazing!! She provides fill in the blank notes for this class so it is super easy to tell what it is that she is wanting you to get from her lectures. Section was not mandatory and neither was lecture. She has lots of resources on her page so that you can review your notes or fill them in if you were not in class. Also her quizzes are not very hard and the final project is pretty easy to get an A on if you put the effort in. She was also super clear and overall a great teacher!
Do the HW for this class. I was pretty consistent with doing all of them until the middle of the quarter... until there were way too many questions to keep up with. So to practice, I recommend doing at least half of questions of the quick studies and exercises! In my opinion, the problem hw questions were a waste of time, but it did help me practice for the final project. Definitely don't wait until the last minute but give yourself at least 3-4 days to commit to the project and you should be fine.
