I am currently taking Prof D's 1011 course. She is absolutely my favorite professor this semester. Although I am not an accounting major, she makes learning accounting fun, interesting, and simple. It takes be roughly 1.5/2 hours to do homework. If I have a question I'll email her and she will reply in literally 5 minutes! Take Prof D!!

Prof D is so awesome! I am taking her for ACCT1011. Her class is very hard, but she keeps it engaging and makes sure everyone understands. Attendance is one of the most important aspects of her class. I would recommend anyone to take her class. She also brings candy to class!!!

Professor Drusbosky is the best! Not only is she amazing at explaining the concepts in depth but she is also the sweetest person who really cares about her students. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to sit in her class. She is so fun and makes accounting fun! I would highly recommend talking her class!

The best teacher I have ever had. A good amount of homework but I knew so much by the test that I didn't need to study for them. As a normally not so great student she was so inspirational and helpful. Lectures are so funny and she is my favorite. Made accounting so easy! also made our final so easy compared to our other tests which is so nice.

Prof D is the best teacher I have ever had. She took a subject I had no passion for and made me genuinely consider it for a career. She gives a ton of work but it is NOT busy work. Every assignment has a purpose and putting time into each assignment will pay off for you in the end. I've learned more in this class than any class I've ever taken.

Genuinely one of the nicest professors at Fairfield. Her lectures are great as well, you can actually pay attention. Plenty of real life examples so we always knew why the different concepts were important. Homework for the tax class was a bit tedious, but learned a ton in the class. Would def recommend for accounting majors.

Prof D is probably one of the best professors I've had at Fairfield. I had her for Accounting 11 and 12; she was great both semesters. She does a great job explaining every topic and really cares for her students. The material can be difficult but she does her best to make sure everyone understands it. 3-4 exams which are easy if you study.

Already reviewed her for AC11 but I had to do it again for AC12. BY FAR the best teacher I have ever had. If you are even remotely interested in accounting, IT IS VITAL to take her. Her class has such a unique dynamic that makes it interesting and fun while still being very difficult. Only great teachers can make a hard class your most fun.

Prof D is a quality professor, she is knowledgeable and teaches thoroughly. In class, the lectures and activities we are engaged in are very helpful to understand accounting. With that said you cannot expect to get a free grade in her class, you have to put the work in. I definitely recommend her, she will TEACH you accounting.

350 characters are not enough to describe how amazing Prof D. is. By FAR the most amazing professor at the University. Take her for every accounting class you can. She will probably convert you into an accounting major. Insanely funny and has amazing lectures that help you to genuinely understand the content.

Prof D is single handedly my favorite professor at Fairfield. I took her for both semesters of accounting freshman year and she was great. She is so aware that she's teaching kids with no idea of accounting and is so good at her job. She's so funny, nice and I would have changed my major to accounting in a heartbeat if she taught every acc class.

Genuinely, this is the best professor I have ever taken here. She has the biggest heart and will do anything to make you laugh and succeed. She has 3 exams plus a final and two quizzes and a group project. Exams are easy and she gives u a note packet and as long as you study that, you're set for the test.

Most kind professor at Fairfield! Prof. D is a great teacher, accounting can be a tough course, but she does a great job of walking through it in a clear and digestible way, and then giving practice with good feedback to make sure your ready for the exams, which can tend to be a bit tough. Still, Prof. D is always accessible + an amazing professor.
