Good professor. Her tests are fair, there are no surprises (I enjoyed her tests after taking Ravetch). For midterm, I did all the homework problems she assigned and read over her course reader (important) and got 98.5 (including extra credit).

Group project was a pain in the ass though, my only advice is to start early so you are not so stressed in the end. But she's actually very lenient on the grading.

Final: studied 2 days before, got an A.

I think it's pretty easy to get an A in this class as long as you're not stupid (for reference, I got a C in Ravetch).

Berges herself is a decent lecturer in the accounting department. I haven't fallen asleep in her class once, but that's mostly due to the insane pacing of the course. It's usually one chapter per 2 hour nonstop lecture.

Recommendation is to study continuously and not cram a few days before the exam (speaking from experience). The exams are not overly complicated; the difficulty lies in the amount of material you're expected to retain and know every step of. It's largely a memorization course and her lectures are almost exactly scripted from the textbook.

You HAVE to buy the course reader. It's a life saver when you study. Scored an 89 on the midterm, took the final today and I think I did relatively well, so I do recommend Berges, but only if you can pace yourself or are willing to go crazy cramming before exams.
