Ironically, the worst online class I ever had was also a Managerial Accounting. The class was online but through my college, NCWC.
To me it was obvious the professor was just NOT all that interested in teaching the course. She was entirely too difficult to get a hold of and when a course is 8 weeks long, you need a professor who is responsive and actually gives a crap. I noticed after this class she never taught another one at the college.
I ended up making almost a perfect score in the class only because I think her curve was so extreme. My classmates began to reach out to me for help because they could tell from my discussion postings that I had somewhat of a clue. I know that many of my classmates planned to give a scathing review back to the college.
The book we used didn't have a lot of solved problems in the back, the only thing the professor did do in that regard was send out the answer keys (which had pretty good explanations) from a supplemental book she owned. The tests were pretty difficult even though they obviously came from the test bank from the publisher.
Honestly, to be frank, I find accounting very hard to learn 100% online. The only other class I found to be okay online in the accounting world was personal income tax. The remaining courses I feel I would have missed quite a bit without having a professor speaking from experience about particular scenarios.
