Is Telfer Accounting unnecessarily harder than other universities?

I’ve heard from people who transferred to Telfer and from talking to students at other universities taking the same classes that Telfer’s accounting program is much harder. For example, we’re not allowed to use cheat sheets for cases, while other schools allow them. The level of difficulty here seems much higher compared to what’s required in similar programs, even in general business degrees.

I’m curious—does anyone else feel this way? Is the extra difficulty at Telfer actually worth it for CPA prep or job prospects? Or is it just making our GPAs lower and putting us at a disadvantage compared to students from other schools?
