She is a great teacher, very supportive and helpful.
The Best Accounting Teacher in COD. Trust me if u really wanna learn accounting take this teacher.
The best accounting instructor I've had. She clearly presents the material and works with the class until everyone gets it. Highly recommend if you need to take accounting.
No Comments
Best accounting teacher ever. She makes all of the concepts very clear and leaves you well prepared for future classes.
Maureen is a great teacher. The class can be tough at times, but you will get the concepts if you hang in there. She is a little neurotic but its funny.
What a fun teacher and makes accounting interesting and can relate it to everyday life.
Fantastic A+++++++++++
Excellent, the best teacher you will ever come accross!
Ms. McBeth is awesome. She is very clear in lecture and answers any and all questions. Very Helpful!!!!
This is the best accounting teacher ever. Your guaranteed a good grade only because of how excellent she helps you out.
the Koolest teacher ever!! take her you'll find accting the easiest thing in the world TRUST ME, you'll love her class.A+++++++++++++++++++++++ TEACHER.
Best teacher I have had. She understands you and explains things very well.
Very hard,not helpful.She gives too many homeworks and quizes. Hard tests and not very clear.
One of the best teachers. VERY FUNNY and helpful.
Mrs McBeth is the coolest accounting teacher you will ever have. She is clear and listens to students questions w/out making them feel dumb. She is funny and makes accounting somewhat interesting.
worst ever,too hard,too many quizes,and tests.a big mistake
She made learning govt acct easy. The continuous homework problem made the concepts understandable. Wish she taught more advanced courses. Would love to take her again!
She is an ok teacher....she will be a lot better off as a stand up comedian than a acct proffessor because thats all she does at her class...she talks and talks and talks more about her every day life than accounting..also she is very bias, if she likes you she will give you points for nothing even in you got something worng in a test.
Very tough teacher,not clear and not willing to help.the least to be said.
why is she still teaching?she needs to become a story writer or something,goes too quickly and expects everyone to catch up.two quizes a week at least and tough tests.why take her??????????????
Bad teacher,if you are not super smart she will not like you and that means a bad grade in her class.She likes certain students,not to mention she is a failure in teaching.it's your choice.
I found her very hard and challenging,expects students to understand by themselves.she also gives too many quizes and homeworks.tests are hard too.
very mean,and goes to fast over material.too many stuff to be covered and doesn't explain well.
very hard and doesn't explain well
She is the coolest teacher ever.accounting is hard but she made it so easy. she is so funny in class and very helpfull.i loved her teacher style, she teahers in very easy environment.HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!
Alright, someone must have really been pissed off with their grade in order to repeatedly spam Maureen like this. She likes those who actively participate in class, regardless of topic. You must do your homework and it isn't much. Just pay attention and be sure to either ask her or the smart kid next to you questions and you will do well.
her class was easy to follow. all you had to do was come to class and follow her handouts. she;s really nice and explains things really well. i would take her class again.
she's really cool. her class is structured really well and she explains accouting really well. you would have to be a total slack to fail her class. i highly recommend her. she;s one of teh best accounting teachers at COD!
This teacher is by far the most understanding teacher Ive ever met. Ive seen so many students in her class miss deadlines for quizes, tests, and homework and if you gave her a puppy face she would give you an extension. She has one quiz a week and the homework can be chicken scratch and she'll accept it. Easy A if you can handle it.
Maureen is an excellent teacher. If you show up to class, pay attention, do your homework, and ask questions when needed, then you will learn a lot from her.
did not like her style of teaching and not helpful.very tough class with her, and thinks she is funny.
Maureen was extremely personable and complete in her curriculum. Her unique sense of humor made governmental accounting, which is in essence a dry topic, as enjoyable as it could possibly be. She also offers knowledgeable incite to candidates anticipating to take the CPA Exam. As an added bonus, she has great eyes and is not too bad to look at.
HER TESTS ARE VERY HARD!!!!!!!! i study hard but i only got a B in the class... overall, she is a cool and nice teacher, and she teachs pretty good. also you have to show up every class cuz she has pop quizes and homework check.... again! her tests are too tough...god!
she is not a helpful teacher, she has her policy, she doesnt like to help students actually, "very" fake teacher, i hate her, i wont take her class, never and ever!!!
Good class
One of the better instructors I've had. Would recommend, though she is a hard teacher
The best accounting teacher ever. All you have to do is attempt your homework. Quizzes are easy and the test are ok. Shes helpful and the class is colorful and fun. She hands out candy too. Just show up and get at least a B. Guaranteed A for effort. She understands everything. Late tests are given too.
Aweseome teacher. One of the best i have ever had. you do have to go to class though. she is really funny and makes everything interesting. highly recommended!
Easy going, very helpful, straight forward. She is really understanding and willing to go the extra step for you. A very easy B or A
Mrs. McBeth is very funny and very spunky. She goes through the material kind of fast so make sure and do your reading. Very fair quizzes and tests, makes you prepared and aware of what's coming. Makes the class a lot of fun.
Her Tests are Hard. Other than that she is a great professor! She wants you to succeed in her class. She's always ready to go the extra step for you to get that B or A
No Comments
She is awful. Do not take any class with her. She the most careless teacher I have ever seen. If you work hard or not does not matter to her. Not flexible at all. No extra credits in her class.
She is tough but if you have any problems you should go see her and talk to her about your problem. She helps you anyway she can. She is very helpful and kind and fun to talk to.I loved her.
Maureen is an excellent teacher that expects a lot from her advanced students. Her governmental class is essential for the CPA exams and she properly prepares those who are willing to work. Her handouts are excellent and the test are hard. But hey you are in college now, tests should be hard and you should feel priveledged to get a note packet.
She talks down to people, she is inflexible, she is unhelpful, she gets paid to teach online but does no work. She won't let you see what you got wrong on anything and told me she doesn't have time to correct my homeork. I complained and was told to drop the class if I can't handle it. At least 20 hours a week of work for 3 credit hours.
I had her for the online class. No big complaints. She was responsive, and quite helpful. On the other hand, the 10th edition book for this class is just awful. Do yourself a favor and look up the 9e web site for the book, which will better prepare you for the quizzes and tests than the 10e version.
Great Class!
Took online class, 16-week semester. No complains. Well paced curriculum. Extra points for homework completion. Wiley is a great tool - did not even bother acquiring a book, just bought a code at Wiley's website. Do the HW, and the Quizzes, test grades do not outweigh on the total.
She was more than helpful when I needed help! She even rounded my overall grade up! Great teacher!
She is an excellent teacher, I took her class online then I changed my class to regular, under her guidence I learn a lot, very co-operative,understandable,I like her alot,A+ teacher.
Difficult to follow in class lecture. She is nice and wants to be helpful but in reality is not helpful at all. Students end up having to teach themselves most of the material.
I took the online section of this course. There is literally no instruction. You read the book, then take a quiz or an exam. You get no feedback so you have no idea what you did wrong. The quizzes are outrageously difficult and cover more than just the chapter assigned. I have an accounting degree from a private university and this is impossible.
Not much instruction for this class which is typical for every online class I've taken. However, if you have questions..Go in and talk to her! She's a good teacher who's very willing to help you and is outstanding in an advisory capacity. She also lets you see incorrect quiz answers in BB now so you can learn from mistakes. She also curves grades.
I found her to be very helpful I emailed her and her responses were fast and detailed - she provided a great framework do you can work through things and teach out when you need help ... Great instructor if you need help
I love this class and this teacher - she keeps you active the whole class and make sure you get to work a lot of problems
This has been a great class and a great teacher - she works so hard to help you understand the material and will work and rework problems to show you the little details you can get mixed up on - she adds all sorts of ideas on how these relate to the real world - I am really going to miss having her in class - thank you thank you thank you
She is seriously the best teacher I have ever had. I could not ave made it thorugh accounting without her she breaks things down so you can understand them and works with you until she knows you can do it I will miss this class and all her excitement for accounting
SHE IS SO HELPFUL AND REALLY WANTS YOU TO DO GOOD IN HER CLASS SHE WILL TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN AND REALLY CARES - IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE A PROFESSOR ON YOUR SIDE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL - I WILL WORK HARD NOT TO DISAPPOINT HER -
She makes class time fly by - she goes over problems again and again and makes sure you can follow the concepts - you have to work hard in her class but it is worth it -I willt ake her again for the enxt class
Professor McBeth was extremely helpful. I have taken her for other classes and even in a tough online format she responds in a timely fashion and is available to help outside of class. She makes a tough curriculum easy to understand.
This is the best class I have taken I did not think I was going to like accounting but she makes it fun. You have to work hard in this class but you will understand it and you will love going to the class. I thank Prof McBeth for this
I am taking her right now. she is THE BEST! i've been bugging her with a lot of questions and she will always respond and she tries to help as much as she can. she has pushed the due dates for quizes and assignments back because i haven't had a chance to make it to a computer. She has been helping me understand the matterial and she always answers to emails really soon. Accounting is a hard class but she explains it well. She makes me want to major in accounting and she is hilarious, i've been crying of laughter in class. I am taking her for managerial accounting and i am very excited for next semester.
Just Trust me, if you need accounting for any reason, this is the way to go
I cannot say enough positive things about this professor she knows the material and teaches it to you like you are watching a show on TV she lays out the details and includes little stories and before you know it you have learned it . She also cares so much for each student in the class she takes her time to make sure everyone is taken care of.
she is amazing. hilarious, which helps the class, she cares a lot about the students, did I mention hilarious. will use myaccountinglab, homeworknice load, study and know the material, she will work with you, one article analysis, one public speaker paper,comprehensive problem,she is such a character that's why she so funny but she knows her stuff
if you want to learn from the best - she is it
She really is the best teacher I have ever had. She is so motivating you want to do better to show her how much you have learned. If you get confused she can help you get back on track I wish she taught all the classes .
this is the best teacher I have ever had and I am so thankful she is teaching the next class in accounting as well. she makes class so easy to follow and really knows the material I think I want to study accounting because of her
Awful. Tried contacting her for help clarifying a few things and she pretty much made me feel like the dumbest person alive. Pretty sure she could care less if you pass or fail.
LOVE HER!! Very funny and knowledgable. After taking her class I changed my major to accounting as well. Reading and a lot of HW is to be done but that's the same for all accounting classes. If you're ever lost go to her office and she'll make accounting seem like a breeze. Sometimes gives "extra points" and really is there for you to succeed.
I took the online class and I found it to be easier than I expected. Dr. Mcbeth had office hours every day of the week for at least 2 hours a day in case students needed help. The lectures online were provided by the book but were clear and helpful. I went in a couple of times for clarification and she was very good at explaining what I did wrong.
Very doable class. Although I never had any sort of issue with any of the material, she always stressed that she was available to help those in need. Everything is all there in the course and very accessible. Weekly hw/quizzes and 3 exams. Would definitely take another class from her again
This was a really great class I wish I had taken her for 2140 she spends a lot of time explaining the information and connecting it to examples so you can remember it Everyone participates and it helps the class flyby it was one of the best classes I have ever taken I am so thankful to have had her as a teacher
This class mostly consisted of doing hw and taking quizes and tests online, without much help from the teacher. You had 2 or 3 chances to get the hw ?'s right so it is easy to get an A if you put in the (easy) work. Only negative: he book is EXPENSIVE, about $300 and you have to purchase it new for the WileyPlus access code.
Took Maureen and Dan Vitales super section for accounting 2140 and 2150. They both helped solidify my choice to major in accounting. Go to class, participate and she will help you as much as you need! Maureen is by far my favorite professor at cod. Take her!!
I wish I could take her fir more classes she made every class so interesting and I have learned so much about accounting and business and careered She really makes you like the class you want to do the work and she makes it managesbkr this semester flew
She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. Her lectures are fun and that makes it easy to remember the concepts. If you need help she's there and willing to help. Every time I sent her an email she replied within an hour... take her if you can!
She's absolutely the best! She is always willing to help as long as you show that you are willing to learn the material. Not a tough grader at all! If you put in some effort you can easily get an A. I totally recommend Professor McBeth!
Really great class gets you excited about studying accounting
Took this class over the summer to get a few extra CPA hours. You will definitely have to put some time into it, but you can end up with an A or B in the class. It is manageable if you have an Accounting background but what you would expect from an upper level course. There are a handful of useless, annoying projects but got an A+ on all of them
Mrs. McBeth is an amazing teacher. She is funny, and silly at time and makes accounting fun to learn usually. You have to read a lot from the book, and there is a ton of homework and quizzes, which is a good cushion for that A you want. Exams are around 35% of your entire grade. As long as you study and do your homework, and work hard you're good.
Do not kid yourself, this class is difficult (at least online). It is reading intensive. There are: 3 units and 3 unit exams worth 130 pts each, 13 chapters in total with 2 graded assignments and a quiz per chapter, as well as a small project worth 50 pts. You learn a little bit about many areas of "specialty" accounting. Happy it's over :)
Prof McBeth was great. The class is definitely not for the faint of heart. It has some really challenging concepts but the online lecture videos and work prepare you for the assignments and quizzes if you do them and study. McBeth was always quick to answer and motivated me to keep going mid-term. I learned a lot for my major.
I took her hybrid intermediate accounting class. Her classes focus a lot on powerpoint slides and the occasional word problem. She explains the content well and with a lot of enthusiasm but I still had a hard time because the class is hard. If you miss a class or did not pay attention you will immediately get lost. If you put effort you'll be fine.
Not a hard class just so much busy work. Took 8 week online class, broken into 3 units all work needs to be done by certain date. Unit 1 had 5 chapters which you need to complete connect work, homework and a quiz for each. On top of that there are 2 major assignments and an exam. Work isn't hard, answers can be found online but way too much work.
Not a terrible class. Reads directly from slides during lecture. Late for class often, lots of technical issues on professor's end, students left to wait around. Class has gone over on time. If asked multiple questions, gets annoyed and sometimes rude when responding to students. Sometimes responds to emails quickly, sometimes ignores them.
If you want a prof who really knows how to teach the material and help you succeed, take mcbeth. She will work with you to help you succeed in her class. I wish I could take more classes with her.
She was a great teacher who was always accessible for extra help if needed. The class itself was considered to be hard, but I would say that professor McBeth does a great job of making it as easy as possible. All expectations for tests are listed a week in advance, and quizzes are all done at home. Late work is accepted in this class too!
She's awesome and will help you gain many opportunities outside and inside the class. Highly recommend that you take her because she will help you throughout your journey in accounting. I was able to get an A by just doing the work.
I took a few classes with McBeth and she's the most inspiring professor. Her lectures include examples that help students understand accounting. She cares about all students and wants them to enter the accounting profession ready. She will go out of her way if students do the work and show interest. She can help only if you help yourself first
She was very nice and funny. She was always willing to help, and seemed very passionate about the class. If you had any questions she was always willing to help. Tests and homework were based off what we learned in class, so as long as you stayed on pace with the work the class was easily manageable.
She knows how to break the concepts down and make the material easy to understand. So helpful with advising - picking classes and applying for internships. The best teacher I have had at COD. You will succeed if you take her class.
Great professor
If you want to learn the material, she is the best teacher to take. She really cares about her students
I learned so much and can't wait for the next class. She is a great teacher
makes class time fly by so easy to learn in this class because she really cares about student doing good she is a very good teacher I am thankful
She is a great prof to have for a tough class as she knows the material and how to teach it. I couldn't have gotten through this class without her help. She is very understanding and flexible if you let her know what you need, as she really wants you to succeed. You will get lots of information on careers too which I needed
Makes the content easy to learn, and she cares about you doing well in her class take her class, and you will learn it and get a high grade
The best professor makes the material clear and will help you with everything she cares about her student It is so clear in every thing she does
She was a great teacher, I really enjoyed being in her class. She was very nice, taught well, had reasonable expectations, and talked often about various accounting internships. She was one of those few teachers you could tell enjoyed not only the subject she was teaching but also helping students be prepared.
Better than most professors in the accounting department, tests were hard but are exactly like the homework.
Great professor makes it easy to understand
Professor McBeth is fantastic - makes the material clear and is always willing to help. The class is manageable with the right approach, and resources like Unstuck ai make studying a breeze.
She is a very helpful teacher who really wants you to succeed and helps you plan your classes and career, and her class is fun to attend. You will learn a lot
One of my favorite professors. This is the second class I've taken with her. Pay attention and stay on top of your work and you will go far. Really uplifts her students and makes class entertaining. Take the super section :)
I got a D or I am going to get a D is this class when everything is over , its just a lot of online work on conncet doing smartbooks If you do all the smart books and hw and did the campus engament; and failed the final you would get a B the real question you have to ask yourself is do you really want to study accounting and give ur time up.
Very helpful and makes everything so easy to understand. I am happy I took her class, if you do the work you will do great in this class.
I learned so much in this class. Her lectures make the concepts come together so easily. I took her for 2140 and 2150, and I am so glad I did. This is the best teacher to take to learn it and do well. She will help you with everything outside of the class too, like getting an internship etc.
This 8-wk NET summer class was “co-taught" w/ Mark Yahoudy. Some of it can be hard but I saw a tutor at COD & they helped a lot. Professors are ok but don't teach, they facilitate. You need the book only for access code. Otherwise you don't use it. HW is autograded. If there's error with your HW, they can't override it. You must contact IT support
One of the best teachers at DuPage. I took 3 accounting classes with her and she honestly taught me more than any other teacher at DuPage, and probably any teacher I've ever had. Her explanations of course material are very good, and if you're struggling she'll help you work through it. I have nothing but good things to say about this teacher.
A really great teacher makes things really easy to understand and goes over many examples. I was afraid to take accounting, but she makes it understandable, and I am thankful to have her as my teacher. I will take her to the next class too
Professor McBeth is one of the greatest accounting faculty members at COD, known for being supportive, fair, and invested in student success. Her difficulty level is around a 2 compared to other sections, but you'll still have to do work. She cares about students who try and offers guidance and internships to help them grow.
