Select comments from ACCTG 301 evaluations:
"The instructor was phenomenal, she was always wiling to help and truly cared about her students learning the course material."
"The instructor did a phenomenal job of ensuring al students understood topics and contributed to al of our experiences. She was inclusive to everyone's time and provided us with review session videos if we could not attend, or class recordings if we were unable to attend class. She did a wonderful job of emphasizing learning not just for a grade, but to be able to learn accounting as a whole which I very much appreciated. She always reinforced topics we learned in her pol everywhere questions, or from just asking the class questions. great job!"
"I personally think that by using her personal experience in the accounting field (experience as a CPA, with FASB, etc) aided in encouraging the learning and growth of all students because it helped provide us insights into how accounting is actually carried out in the real world. Also, the professor's determination to being available to help students who are struggling, confused, etc also was a part."
"Kendall was an amazing professor. She seems like she has a mastery of what is being taught in this course and was very good at translating that to us as students. Kendall obviously enjoys teaching this class and that was reflected on to us, making it a great experience."

What were the strengths of this course?
"Kendall Lynch. Before this course, I had absolutely no interest in Accounting at all and had to take this course for my minor. Because of her enthusiasm, positivity, and care, this class ended up being one of my favorites. The structure of the course was very accommodating and she answered all questions with respect. Thank you for an incredible semester Kendall <3"
"This is the best course that I’ve taken at UMich. Kendall is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Incredibly caring and good at teaching. Checks every box 10/10. Michigan Ross is lucky to have someone like Kendall teaching its courses."
"Well–organized, interactive, welcoming, and informative. I like how Kendall talked about fraud cases in real life and she always recommended out–of–class resources for students to learn more about accounting."
