She is a great professor. She's easily accessible, very helpful, and clear on assignments. You can miss 3 classes, but does not take attendance, so if you're lucky you can miss more. She also gives extra credit for participation sometimes. Her only downfall is that she can be very boring, especially at 8:30, the only time this class is offered.

I had McCutchen for 225 and it was a disaster. Debbie was much better because she was a way more pleasant person. Secondly, she was very good at teaching and explaining material. Her study guides were amazing and thorough. I barely ever cracked open the textbook and got an A. She is very open to help and made the class possible.

Amazing professor, really cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. Acct is a difficult class no matter who is teaching it but she tries to break it down and simplify it. If you email her she will respond right away and completely answer your question. If you see her outside of class for help she will give you points back on tests.

Debbie Bumbaugh is one of the most caring, positive, and encouraging professors I have ever encountered. I would take every accounting class with her if possible. ACCT 225 wasn't very hard, I never read the book, just listened to her lectures and asked questions. She likes if you participate. Tests are open ended, so tricky if you don't know it

She's dumbs everything down a little too much for me personally, because of this I find her lectures hard to pay attention to but I've made high b's on all the exams just from memorizing some math equations right before the exam.

Not much extra credit, but she does drop the lowest homework grade. Separates attendance and participation clicker questions. She only explains the key points of the chapter, but expects students to read the whole chapter in order to get the details.

I had her mid-day but it is so lecture-heavy and the same every time that I found it hard to stay awake. Is very sensitive about noise so any conversation happening she will stop the entire lecture and tap her foot while staring waiting for it to be over. She does allow cheat sheets on the exam though. Quizzes are just like the exam.

As long as you know the material, you'll do great on the exams. She moves quickly during lectures so pay attention. Also, if you talk in class she will stop the entire lecture in the big lecture room and stare at you for about 30 seconds. Super intimidating but she knows her stuff.

Prof Brumbaugh is a great professor. She usually lectures for 40 minutes and then dismisses class. All slides are posted in blackboard and her quizzes are similar to her exams. If you pay attention in class and do the reviews you should do well in the class. She wants her students to succeed and will meet with you if you need help.

The class itself is difficult, but she answers any questions you have and goes over the quiz in class after it's due as well as shows explanations for each question. After the first exam, she allowed us a notes sheet for the rest of our quizzes and exams which really helps. All quizzes and exams were taken online in a lockdown browser

This class was okay but difficult in general. I feel like she did help students though and the extra credit was enough to help many at the end. The study guides are very much similar to tests and quizzes so it is easy to study. She said she took attendance but I skipped many times and this was never reflected on my grade.

I had her honors section (not sure why that isn't an option) and the class was fine, albeit exhausting. The lectures are really boring and hard to pay attention to, so if you're like me and get distracted easily, you will end up teaching yourself all the material.

I do not recommend this professor. She just reads off slides and her tests have a lot of trick questions. She dosen't go over enough examples in class and instead reads off PowerPoints and dosen't give access to the entire PowerPoints (just parts of it). She also administered the 2nd exam well after the drop/withdrawal deadline.

Overall great professor even though I dislike accounting. First exam is rough since there's no cheat sheet, but the other 2 aren't bad at all. The only negative thing I have to say is that the majority of your grade comes from lockdown browser assignments. Answer questions in class for a bunch of extra credit. She's very nice and caring.
