Very nice lady. Makes the class enjoyable despite being a very dull subject and you actually learn the material. Tests are fairly easy. Very helpful as well. I recommend her.

Amazing teacher. She is the reason why I am an accounting major. Take her if you can. Has a lot of experience in accounting and teaching.

Amazing Professor. Really loves the subject and always willing to help. Exams are difficult, perhaps most difficult in department. If you want to be an accounting major, definitely take her. Very kind and just overall a great woman!

Time for an honest review. I've taken her for GB201, AC311, and AC312 and can tell you that she's a phenominal professor. Her tests are difficult only because of the material itself, she's a very fair grader, and you will learn a lot from her. Willing to help but expects you to read and do hw. Switch your majors if you can't hack it crybabies.

You leave every class thinking that it wasn't so bad, and then she royally screws you on the tests. She is a good teacher, but she is just really really hard!

I don't know how she got so many bad reviews. McConville is awesome. I took her for both 311 and 312 this summer and she is a great professor. I actually learned a lot in her class not just learned stuff for the test. The tests can be difficult at times but if you put in the work and read the book you will be fine. If your willing to read take her.

People who are serious about their education: Donna is an amazing woman and professor. The material is difficult. She is a very thorough, passionate and involved professor,willing to meet at all times,will accommodate you.Not willing to put the effort in?expect to get grades handed to you? keep dreaming switch your majors if u cant take the heat!

She is a very good teacher and explains things well. However, her test are impossible. They are opened book but you have to go into the tests not planning on using it. There is no time to think or breath once she passes the test out. If you are not interested in going into tax don't take her!

Professor McConville was an excellent professor. I had her for 311 and am taking her for 312. AC 311 is a difficult class and it requires a lot of outside preparation, however, McConville explains the concepts very well and contributes her own knowledge of "real world" accounting which is helpful and interesting. I recommend taking her classes.

She is actually freakin awesome. Don't get me wrong, she is pretty challenging but I've never learned so much from one professor or teacher in my life. I did fair in her class but have no regrets taking her and would take The History of Salt if she taught it. Rock on McConville!

One of the best professors I have had at Bentley. I can't speak highly enough of her. She is a bit intimidating at first, but she really cares and wants people to learn. She goes through tons of examples, communicates with the class, and is very organized. She grades closely, which is good if you want to learn (bad if you just want the grade).

Awesome Professor! Takes her time thoroughly explaining topics. Willing to review additional problems. Doesn't try to pull tricks on the exams, very straight forward about what will be on them. Clearly cares about her students' successes. Definitely Take Her!!

Overall a good teacher. A little anal about formatting but learned a lot and fair

Wonderful professor. Really difficult, but definitely manageable if you are willing to put in the work. Take her if you're interested in what you're learning in the class, but if you aren't interested I wouldn't recommend her.

Would Take Again. Love Her.

It's tax, the subject is automatically dry and hard since you have to cover so much. The Prof. wants you to succeed and any tax class needs work. Open book tests, but they cover a lot of material. She's really clear and makes sure you understand, but you still have to read. Tax projects are the only tricky part but are same for all tax classes.

My favorite professor in Bentley! Teach clearly and grade fair. Really nice person, this course makes me like taxation even more. Love her!

A lot of people said she was hard, but she was awesome. Went through lectures nice and slowly so students could understand. Easy participation points by reading before class. Takes her time through all of the material. I found the tax return practice sets to be hard, but she was always open to discussion. Very fair.

She is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She is very strict but her lectures are awesome. You can tell how much time she spent in preparing the lectures - very well organized and easy to understand. I can't imagine how I can ever understand tax treatments about disposition of properties (long term, short term, 1231 gain, etc.)

I can't imagine how I can ever understand tax treatments about disposition of properties (long term, short term, 1231 gain, etc.) without her

She has been one of the best professors I've ever had. Tough on grading, she expects you to put in as much effort into the work as she is preparing it. Read often and multiple times, she gives great feedback and is accessible outside of class for guidance, questions, etc. Study for the exams, pay attention on projects, don't get behind.

GB 112 follows a strict curriculum so can't really say the class is her fault. She is really caring and willing to help as long as you reach out. I personally fell asleep alot so if you are not into accounting find a more entertaining professor. otherwise shes chill and it was her first time teaching the class.

I really enjoyed McConville's class. She grades tough but if you just give 112 the time it demands, you'll do fine in her class. She's always willing to back-track a little during lectures and homework is pretty straightforward. There's probably better options for 112 but don't sleep on McConville as a safety.

Prof. McConville genuinely wants her students to succeed. That being said, she struggles to keep up with the pace of this course. She grades the tests tough and is harsh with partial credit. I would take her again in a class she has more experience with because she is funny and entertaining.

This was Professor McConville's first year teaching GB112, and I think she did a great job. Going into GB112, I had no interest in Accounting, but after taking her class I think I may major in it. She's very knowledgeable and very helpful if you have questions. Definitely use the textbook and do your homework in order to have a good understanding.

Professor McConville really knows her stuff. Going into her class never have taken an accounting class before, I can say that she helped me understand it a lot. Yes, she is an extremely tough grader, and she also grades participation which can be hard when 30 other kids are in your class too. McConville is a good choice, but it won't be easy.

Professor McConville really cares about her students. You still need to work hard to get a good grade but the course itself requires some work. It is better to read the chapter assigned before the class but you can just review her presentations and it will be fine.

312 has the highest withdraw rate of any course at Bentley. Donna doesnt make it easier, but DANG do you get your money worth with her. Her lectures are so helpful, best prof at Bentley. Yes this is very hard class but you will come out of it better prepared for CPA than another prof. Take her if you are AC major. If not, steer clear, shes hard!

312 is a hard class. Professor McConville makes sure you know that. She does a lot of practice questions in class and participation is important, she will cold call on you. You really do need to put in work for the class but she helps a lot along the way. Practice her in-class questions and suggested textbook problems and you'll do well on the exam

McConville definitely cares about her students. She explains the material really well, and she will explain concepts in multiple different ways to make sure everyone understands it. But, if you want a good grade in the class then you have to read the chapters and do some of the exercises in the chapters. She also gives extra credit opportunities.

To those whom is really interested in accounting, Donna is an excellent professor if you are able to work hard with her and her course. It is tough though, but it is because of those complicated accounting principle instead of prof Donna. I personally spend more than 10 hours a week on accounting and get full score in exams. You can do it as well.

Everything you have heard about this class is accurate, hardest class I have ever taken at Bentley! Not impossible though, you just really need to put in more effort than usual, exams are really tough and you do have to teach yourself most of the material because in class you just skim over the material, every class is new topics never reviewing.

It's 312, the class is going to be hard no matter who you have. But, with Donna, there were no surprises on the exams, if we didn't do it in class, it was not on the exam. Her door was open almost every day of the week, so she was super accessible. You will learn the most from her, in comparison to other 312 profs, but you have to participate.

Donna is the BEST prof I have ever had here. She is very tough but she wants you to learn and understand the material. If you are serious about AC and want to learn and put in effort, you NEED to take her. She is a CPA and the AC advisor and she knows her stuff. She is super sweet and hilarious. I highly, highly recommend her!

She is a great professor who knows the material very well, but man oh man, there is TONS of work. She is very nice and wants to help, but lots of HW, quizzes are take-home but closed-note and due the night before class - one for every chapter. Two group projects which are challenging. Two tests and final is not cumulative. You will WORK for the A!

She was amazing and is so passionate about tax, but her exams are very tough and you will need to work for an A. She gives you partial credit if you show your work. She is hilarious but her lectures can be long and boring considering the content. She wants to see you succeed and will work with you.
