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.

I took Management 1A Winter quarter 2020-21 remotely. The class was asynchronous, which I appreciated as the lecture material was extremely organized and recorded in a way to deliberately emphasize and repeat important concepts beyond what I have typically seen in person. I do wish that it had typical discussion sections - sections were open Q&As with TAs that while helpful, didn't reinforce concepts in a way a true section would.

The grading was 10% Assignment 1 (Recording transactions for a fictitious business and preparing financial documents), 10% Assignment 2 (Research and mild financial analysis on Berkshire Hathaway), 40% Midterm and 40% Final. If you watched the lectures, and did the practice problems in the textbook in my opinion it is a straightforward class. Prof. Treloar could have been more responsive to emails, but overall this was a well organized and taught class.

After 4 years at UCLA I took this class during my senior year because I fulfilled all my requirements and wanted to take a potentially helpful class. After dozens of professors and classes I have taken, I can say without a single doubt, Gardner is heads and shoulders EASILY the worst professor I have ever had at this school. She is extremely condescending to her students and would blabber on about her personal biases every.single.day. (cryptocurrency is satan and everyone should spend their entire savings on apple stocks). She tells her student being a minute late in submission would be a 50% marked down in all assignments but she is late 10-15minutes every single class without missing a day. Also her required course reader is almost $100 that isn't even half-utilized and not to mention she gives out a lot of workload which a lot of them ending up being redundant or irrelevant.
I could go for days about how she is such a terrible professor. I'd suggest that you actually visit her class sometimes to see how condescending she is to her students and how terrible her course materials are. It's always a good idea to know how low the bar could be.
Her presence on the school campus is an embarrassment to the educational institution of UCLA.

I don't wish to speak poorly of any professor. I understand my own shortcomings and what I could have done to improve and be better but dang yall! First off, this class was taken right before we switched to remote learning. Before this, our syllabus states that our grade was meant to encompass homework assignments as well as a midterm and a final, but in the end, she only calculated those two. Also, she was very difficult to reach via email and wasn't really helpful at all. Even our TA's were critical of her. She also has an engineering background which makes her good at math, but there are things she could have explained in a different way to a majority business students class. Of course, this is not a math-intensive course; however, it still sucks. I understand accounting is just simply not for me. Good luck!!!

The material was hard for me to wrap my mind around at first because I had no history of accounting, but Gardner is super engaging and has a way of teaching that made you understand the material without having to do too much on your own. Once you get through a week or two, things start to click. She gives several projects which are time consuming and seem terrible in the moment, but it's really nice because most other professors only have grades made up of midterms. Also, if you have a friend in the class you can check your work on the projects. I would recommend doing the homework problems to practice the material! This is not an easy class, but it was definitely interesting!

Gardner is a shallow lecturer and loves to go off tangents and crack jokes no one laughs at. However, her tests are very very FAIR. She tells you exactly what will be on the exam.

1. Go to lectures. She explains everything you need to know specifically for exams.

2. The midterm and final are non-cumulative and cover material solely in the course reader so reading that will be all you need.

3. Don't go to discussions if you don't need to. TA told me that first day.

4. Start assignment #2 early and really understand it. Not that hard, just takes time.

5. Though she says homework problems are essential, they really aren't. Just understand the key concepts and you will do great.

I am a junior right now and this teacher is by far the WORST teacher I have ever met at UCLA . NEVER TAKE HER CLASS if you do not want to ruin your GPA, your happiness, and you life. She is the worst person I have met since my childhood. I feel shamed to have such a person living and working in the same neighborhood with me.
