Woo. FOREVER GOD!!!

SUPER NICE Professor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grading consists of 3 "quiz" and a big assignment, 25% each, quiz are super easy. Big assignment is not hard if you understand the material well. EASY A with 83%+ score. I got almost full score for all the quiz and assignment. The professor actually wants us to get As!!! Definetely recommend her !!!

This class is awesome. Woo makes accounting not boring. I highly recommend taking accounting during the quarters where woo is teaching.

I took this class because at one point I was debating becoming a BizEcon major (I am not, for reasons unrelated to this class), and because I was trying to determine if accounting is for me, and I think I can safely say that it isn't. That being said, Professor Woo is an excellent teacher and I'm glad I had her for this class. During online learning, lectures were asynchronous and all the videos were available at the beginning of the quarter, so it was easy to pace yourself and possibly get ahead if you were on top of your stuff. Rather than recording single, tiring, hour-long or hour-and-a-half-long lectures, Professor Woo broke them up into several shorter videos around 10-15 minutes each which made them feel much more manageable. The explanations she gives are very clear and concise, and she has fun examples and pneumonics to help you remember concepts. Her lectures essentially went over the material via fill-in-the-blank notes which she posts online and you can fill in and follow alongside her. The completed solutions are also posted, but I suggest you follow along and write the notes in yourself as it's easier to learn the material if you're actually taking part in it. She used the time that would normally be spent in class for office hours and was always very kind and helpful to students with any questions.

The grading was as follows:
-5 multiple choices quizzes worth 10% each
-The "Practice Set," essentially an assignment where you practice a month's worth of accounting for a fake business, worth 50%
-Extra credit from course evals, 3%

She lists homework problems from the textbook for each chapter we cover in class. It is optional; it never gets collected. However, she highly suggests you do it as preparation for the quizzes. The amount of homework she lists is very large, so don't worry about doing it all, just a portion of it is enough practice. Some practice from the homework and reviewing your notes is generally pretty good quiz preparation in my opinion, but her notes are more important to pay attention to because the textbook doesn't always present things exactly the same way she does. The quizzes aren't cumulative in a literal sense, but newer chapters do build off previous ones by nature. The quizzes also felt to be getting progressively harder over time, which made sense since the material itself was getting progressively harder.

Do NOT procrastinate on the practice set! You probably won't have enough knowledge to start on it from the beginning, but at the end of chapter 3, you can at least start entering some journal entries into the general journal. As you go through the lectures/class material, you'll continue to learn new things that apply to the practice set, so do pay attention and make sure you're doing them right. Be careful with it and make sure your debits equal credits/assets equal liabilities and owner's equity and make sure you've left yourself enough time to go back and try to fix things if something is out of balance! As long as you follow what professor Woo explains in her lectures, you should be able to complete it just fine (and it's so satisfying when everything balances at the end).

Overall I highly recommend Woo for Mgmt 1A. She's very clear in her explanations and is very helpful whenever you have any questions about the material. She's also quite nice to her students; (at least for online learning) she utilized the Anderson School's Accounting Area curve in a way such that nobody could be curved down. Even though I found accounting somewhat difficult and decided it wasn't right for me from this class, I'm so glad I took it with Woo.

Woo is SO NICE. For the online quarter, she gave us 5 10-point quizzes and then one assignment and that was the entire grade. The time limit on quizzes was a little tight but her lectures and lecture notes are super clear, especially if you're completely new to accounting. Would highly recommend her class.

Professor Woo is a great lecturer. I really enjoyed listening to her lectures and learning from her. She makes hard concepts easy to understand. She is super organized, and she has her own lecture worksheets that you can printout and follow along. I found this more helpful than generic slides from textbooks that other professors use. There are five quizzes that are worth 10% each, and there is an individual final project that is worth 50% of your grade. Quizzes are NOT easy. You have to invest your time and do homework problems before taking these quizzes. Regarding the final project, get started on it early (like right after chapter 3)! Go to office hours to get help. If you can't make it to office hours, she records and uploads office hour videos. If you watch all her lecture and office hours videos, there is no way that you can get anything less than a B in her class. Professor Woo made accounting fun, and I really enjoyed taking her class.

Woo is an amazing professor. She organizes her lectures well and has worksheets that you can print out and fill in as she teaches. Her class was asynchronous with live office hours, and she posts the recording of the office hours fast. There were 5 quizzes worth 10% each and a practice set worth 50%. The practice set is a fake business and you have to do the accounting for the month. Start early because it is very detailed and takes time. She offers a few points of extra credit and is overall a great person to take accounting with. The class itself is not that bad if you're willing to put in the time and effort.

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.

Woo is the best professor, giving engaging and well-organized lectures. Her lectures are based on worksheets she designs, which saves an increasing amount of time of writing your notes. It is as if she wrote the notes for you. Her midterms are based on these worksheets, so you should study these for your midterm. Also, do your homework because it helps you with understanding the material. Woo is super nice, so if you need anything, just email her because she gets back to you pretty quickly. Her lectures are not boring at all because she makes it interesting and funny. I took this course in the midst of the crazy pandemic, but seriously compared to my other professors, she was by far the most prepared. She started uploading the recorded videos a week before the quarter began. It was as if she knew what was coming. I would take this course again if I had to. Also, a quick note, get started on the project in advance, it won't hurt you. :)
