She could ramble on sometimes, but she did know what she was talking about when it came to accounting and sometimes her random stories were actually pretty helpful.

NO.. Megan is simply not attentive to her students & just does not care. She may be great for 201 or 202 bc you dont have to do work. But in her upper level acct classes her classes are easy and a breeze but her exams are hard and out of no where. She isn't prepared most of the time and usually does not feel like helping when you have a question.

3 homeworks, a project, and a quiz for each of 7 modules. Megan is kind and gives ample time for people to ask questions during class. She gave examples of difficult concepts to help with the projects. She got sick a few times and did Zoom lectures. Just pay attention, manage your time (often 2 things due same day), and you're pretty much set.

Only professor I have that can talk for 20-30 minutes on one obscure point of a lecture that is easily gotten by everyone but glosses over other major topics and does not elaborate. Tells so many personal stories that have little to do with lecture. Accidentally explained deferred payments incorrectly and when I asked about it all I got was "whoops

Shes one of the most caring professors Ive had. Shell go out of her way to make sure you succeed in her class. She gives real life examples relating to the material covered in class, and she tries her best to make lecturers fun. If you dont like accounting, take someone else, but if youre an accounting major, take her class.

Very approachable. I'd say to be in class as much as possible if you don't want to read the material, which is all online. She went off topic sometimes and there'd be times I'd get questions on some homework or quiz where I never heard her explain it, but you can learn it pretty easily with the Quizlets online. Overall nice teacher.

She has a wonderful personality and is very charismatic and funny. As a professor, I don't think she is the best teacher and she seemed to have a lot going on in her personal life that impacted her work. I think she understood that she wasn't always available or teaching well, so she would grade easy to help us out.

Megan was very understanding, and the way that she sets her class up benefits students greatly. 'Projects' were weighted as heavily as tests, which really helped because projects were easy. However, in terms of lectures, a lot of the time was spent talking about other things, and the last 20 minutes was talking about course content.

What I have noticed through Accounting 201 and 202 you can teach yourself to some extent. Megan was very nice and relatable during lectures and online Zooms. Although she does tend to NOT respond to emails and has to be reminded a few times to check on something. I would take her again, she has good experience in the real world and is v caring.

Prof. McBride's lectures were good when she actually came to class. There have been 4 or 5 occasions where I have shown up to class, just to find out she sent an email between 10PM-12AM cancelling class for the next day. The Zoom lectures that followed were generally useless. If you struggle with Accounting AT ALL, avoid McBride's class.

I really liked Professor McBride, but I hated the class. I think she did a good job explaining, but the course moves really fast. Especially when you've never touched accounting a day in your life. I think that she's a very understanding person though and tries her best to work with you. A lot of class days were held via zoom which was nice.

Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had. Don't bother seeking help from her she won't do anything. She cancels almost every class because she gets "sick" every week. She doesn't know how to use Zoom. She spends the entire hour talking about herself and then is like, "any questions?" Just a bad teacher in general I would not recommend.

Great professor for Accounting 201 and 202. Professor McBride makes it easy to succeed, and the content matches up with exams. She helps you with the projects and allows unlimited attempts on all of the homework. She explains the information well so you understand. I would take her again for higher accounting classes if she taught them.

One of the best professors I've had so far. Mostly online work and she basically holds your hand through the entire course which eases the stress of college. She communicated everything very well. The only downside I can think of is her lectures were kind of difficult to take notes from. Overall just a great human and professor.

Probably one of the worst professors i've had. Doesn't answer emails. She does not care about her students whatsoever. Cancels class last minute.

Also for the lowest level of acct for a pre rec you would think she'd help more.

reviewers claiming she doesn't answer emails or that she is unforgiving with late work -- lazy ppl thinking they should not have to do college level work. It's clear from the syllabus and lecture.

I've had class maybe once a week, Fridays are always off. If you struggle with accounting or math in general, I advise against taking this course. I've taught myself most of the material. However, she provides lots of extra credit opportunities, and the course is very organized and clear. Depends on what you're looking for honestly.

She explains the material extremely well and leaves time in lectures for questions. Also Very approachable and wants you to succeed. Overall I think shes great.
