Professor Acker is simply fantastic! The course is difficult due to the material, but she is super accessible and supportive and does everything she can to help you if you seek help. I would even say UW's Business School is blessed to have her!

Lindsay is amazing. There's an online textbook but you don't need to read it because she puts everything on the lecture slides (which are fully on Canvas). Lindsay cares a lot and makes herself very available. Great explanations and lots of examples/practice - overall the class was way better than I expected

I liked Professor Acker a lot! She had great material prepared for us and did an excellent job of explaining. Homework was participation-based and exams were open note. I never felt that anything was unfair.

She is seriously the best! I enjoyed the content. At first the class is challenging because it is very different material. If you review and print out ALL powerpoint examples and homework problems, you should do decent on the exams (open note). She is willing to help you learn if ask. She make the class fun and she is a very sweet person!!
