TAKE THIS CLASS! Professor Woo is such an amazing professor and she cares so much about all of her students. There are 5 quizzes, they get progressively harder, but if you do the optional homework and watch the lectures (which she provides the notes - amazing), you'll be good. The one thing that makes the quizzes pretty difficult is that there is a 20 min time limit, so make sure that you are well prepared. Also, start the practice set early. It is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time to make sure you do right. She also goes over it in office hours which I highly recommend that you attend. Overall I loved this class and am so excited to have Professor Woo for Mgmt 1B.

Professor Woo was very engaging, which is hard to achieve when learning online. Her class structure is very organized and straightforward, and she likes to make sure her students are on top of everything. The grade is based on 5 quizzes spread out throughout the quarter and a turn in final that you essentially have all quarter to do. I highly recommend taking 1A with her and am looking forward to continuing taking her classes.

I took this class mainly to see if accounting was for me -- it's definitely not. Despite that, I feel like I learned a lot about the basics of accounting which is useful regardless of what you plan to do in life. This class was difficult and there was a decent amount of work to keep up with. The tests weren't the worst in the world, but you HAVE to study for them because there are a lot of questions that rely on nitpicky accounting rules. When doing the practice set, make sure you go to every single one of her office hours because she goes over and answers tons of questions during those that will make your life a lot easier. I made mistakes on mine that I could've avoided had I gone to all the office hours. Professor Woo really does put in the effort to help her students, which I did appreciate. All in all, this class was STRESSFUL but teaches some important skills and for many people it's not optional, so take it with Woo if you can! **I'm selling the textbook for this course (retails for $133) in brand new condition! No marks or highlighting. Email ************* **

*** COVID-19 Review ***
Woo is hands down an amazing and very fair professor. Her class is 5 quizzes (10% each) and she is very clear that they will get harder as the quarter goes on. That being said, I scored at least 80% on each and found the material very manageable and interesting.
She breaks down the material very nicely, and honestly I understand a majority of it and enjoyed learning it. She is definitely my top choice for an Accounting professor. I would've taken her again for 1B, but they swapped the professor to Ravetch.
The problem set is like 40 pages and seems like a lot, but it is easy to get through and just takes time. Do not leave it until the last day, you need to be very meticulous when filling it out.

Woo is the nicest prof I've had so far. Since I took this during quarantine, she curved everyones grades by a lot at the end. He lectures are super helpful and worth attending. I recommend starting the practice set as soon as you can since I procrastinated and had a lot of work one weekend. Besides the practice set, all other hw is optional and the midterm and finals are easy as long as you study. Take it with her if you can!!

Important note: I took this class during the pandemic, so it was completely online. During a normal quarter it would likely have been very different.

This was by far the best class I have taken so far at UCLA. Professor Woo has engaging and straightforward lectures and is a kind and considerate grader. The course is extremely well organized, with assigned (optional) reading, online lectures posted far in advance, and (optional) homework. These three elements combined made learning and retaining information easy and allowed me to go at my own pace. The lectures themselves were essentially fill-in-the-blank worksheets that were very well structured with videos to go along with them, and Professor Woo was very good at adding humor and tricks for remembering concepts in her videos.

Grades depended on 3 quizzes, each worth 25%, and a Practice Set also worth 25%. The class was graded on a generous curve. The quizzes were quite easy with ample preparation. The Practice Set was a project that asked us to record transactions and generate financial statements for a fictional company. Although the project required some knowledge that we didn't learn until later in the quarter and was therefore somewhat difficult to complete until later on, Professor Woo answered questions about it (and other topics) during office hours, which were held twice a week, that cleared up any confusion. Professor Woo also offered 3 points of extra credit for completing the course evaluation, and it was also possible to receive extra credit on the Practice Set; the project was initially worth 50 points, but after noticing a common mistake that reduced people's grades by a large amount based on a concept not directly addressed in lecture, Professor Woo reduced the amount of points the project was worth to 40, making it possible to earn greater than 40/40. This is just one example of how Professor Woo showed great consideration for students.

Overall, I would absolutely take this class with Professor Woo again. The organized nature of the class, combined with Professor Woo's care for students, made it a terrific experience, even with all of the craziness of the pandemic. The class greatly increased my interest in accounting and I can't wait to take another accounting class with Professor Woo!

Note: the class was completely online for the entire quarter due to the pandemic, so it is possible I would have had a different experience had it been in person.

All lectures were recorded and uploaded online to CCLE. This was extremely helpful for me as I had a very heavy workload this quarter, which allowed me to focus on other classes and catch up on MGMT every other week or over the weekends (whenever I was free). For each chapter, she provided us with notes with blanks and spaces, which were to be filled as you proceed in the lecture. At the end of the lesson, she uploads the completed notes, so you could always just use her notes instead of writing yours if you needed to. She was a pretty good lecturer, and for the most part, did not have any issue with the quality of the lectures themselves. Homework was assigned in the syllabus for each chapter and was occasionally a bit too tedious. But it did not count toward our grade and was solely for practice and understanding the material.

The overall grade was given by 3 quizzes worth 25% each, and one "Practice Set" worth 25%. The quizzes were straightforward and easy, with maybe one or two tricky questions, and progressively increased in difficulty (it was never even remotely difficult overall). Studying the notes and doing the homework problems is more than enough practice (I only used the textbook for the homework problems). The practice set is a very long assignment in which you apply everything you've learned and do the accounting for a fictional company. The assignment was released during Week 3 and was due by the end of Week 8. I completed it 2 weeks time, without overly rushing (it's possible, but I definitely wouldn't recommend, to grind it out in a few days if you concentrate enough). The assignment was pretty easy for the most part, and she provided ample help on the tricky parts. Though very long, I loved this assignment as I could apply everything we had done which cemented my understanding and I could see how everything learned fitted together. Also, the practice set was originally out of 50 points, but she graded it out of 40 since it was easy to make small mistakes that trickled (Eg: I got a 46/40 in this assignment).

She is also super helpful and kind outside of class. She holds office hours twice a week, and uploads the recordings of those office hours to watch if you could not make it, which I again appreciated as an international student. All in all, I highly recommend her, and would almost certainly take her again for another class.
