Julie Hertenstein professor reviews and ratings: 2.8/5 from 6 student reviews at Northeastern. TRACE + RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
Knows her stuff but incredibly demeaning and rude to students. This class was mostly self-taught and she has little availability outside class. Her availability to help outside class is poor. This was a required course for me so I had no choice but if you have the choice to take a class with her or not, I do not recommend it.ACCY6208 2016-12-20 15:44:18 +0000 UTC
Self taught not by her! Unprofessional at times and has a poor attitude . Avoid if possibleACT281 2014-10-21 05:56:31 +0000 UTC
All I can say is that it is impossible to get past her horrible attitude. She is unapproachable, the course is mostly self-taught and you almost have to be a mind reader to know how/what she wants in the case write-ups. She compares students without prior man. Accounting knowledge to those going with a background in numbers.ACCT6291 2011-11-14 15:30:50 +0000 UTC
If you didn't know accounting going in, you definitely will coming out. Only negative was that you had to do the cases before being taught the theory. She expects everyone to be prepared, which is not a bad thing, but once the whole class got stuck on a case at a particular point and she kicked us out instead of going over it.ACCG208 2008-04-07 12:42:52 +0000 UTC
She is an EXCELLENT prof! The course is very useful and prof Hertenstein makes accounting seem like a piece of cake. I have taken accounting before but her teaching style is so practical and realy shows you the use of managerial accounting. Your basics will be clear. At first she may seem strict but she'll make sure you understand and learn.ACCTACCT 2008-03-11 22:00:02 +0000 UTC
Prof. Hertenstein ran a very structured class. She had clearly defined goals and well written syllabus. However, the biggest problem was the class seemed to be more of a self-taught program. Sometimes treated the students in a demeaning way, talking down. Papers weren't clearly defined, was suppose to read between the lines to get an A on it.ACCG281 2007-04-04 13:28:03 +0000 UTC
