Amy Alward
Washington State University - Main Campus
Department:
Accounting
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
My biggest complaint with Amy is that she was moody and let personal problems effect patience with the class. The overly difficult exams were given to all the 230 classes to that is not all her fault. She should of prepared us better and also should move slower in the lecture.
Positive:
Is willing to help students anytime
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Comes to class organized
Negative:
Overly difficult tests or assignments
Amy tends to be very moody and makes these moods known to everyone in class. Our midterm average was a 50%. Additionally, after saying that the practice test would be sufficient for knowing the exam material, she tells us today that it would be sufficient for getting a C on the exam - good job, lady - go back to being an accountant

Amy Alward is horrible! I'm sitting in my acctg 230 class right now, after 90 percent of my 125 person class flunked the first exam. Her reaction? You should have studied harder! She justifies it by saying 20 years ago the average was 70%. Not a good professor! DO NOT TAKE HER! Take Debra Seifert or Al Frakes! The goal of the exams, are to make the average score 50%, that is failing!!
