I really enjoyed Professor McDermott. She made the class easier than it really is because she is obviously super experienced in accounting. Usually a weekly homework and Learnsmart. The tests are weighted pretty heavily, but they aren't too hard. If you just put a good amount of effort in and study over the homeworks and reviews, you're good.

I have loved having Reba as my professor for acct 2023. It is a tough class but as long as you put in the work you will do fine! Going to class will help you a lot since she does random attendance quizzes and gives a lot of useful information for the tests/homework. Very helpful outside of class and wants her students to do well, highly recommend!

She provides a lot of extra material to study and posts slides. She has pop quizzes in class, but she gives 10 and drops 5 of them. She sets up the class so that one bad exam wont end your chances at an A.

When Prof. McDermott says at the beginning of the semester that you need to stay on top of homework, quizzes, and LearnSmart assignments, she's not kidding. I honestly feel very fortunate to have had her for accounting, because she knows her stuff, but you better pay attention and do what you can to get a good grade, because she does not round.

Accounting is just a hard topic in general. You would be lucky to know her outside of class because she is so immensely intelligent. However, she is not an accommodative teacher . Be prepared to teach yourself a lot of things because she zooms through slides and doesn't record anything. She's caring, but just not the best at teaching students.

Reba is extremely knowledgeable as she has had a career in the actual accounting field and still does. She is great and will not up your bs as she should. She also makes the test for the whole accounting 1 so she has more insight on the test.

Reba, the absolute best. She knows what she's talking about and lectures in an entertaining way that also makes sense. She is by far the best and most qualified professor I have ever had. Her test can be difficult, but just learn how to study correctly. She does take phones, but it's not that deep and will help you do better in the class.

I highly recommend Professor Reba. Accounting 1 is difficult no matter what, but Professor Reba makes it as understandable as possible. She knows exactly what she is talking about. She does polling every class, but you need to go to class to do well. Take her for accounting!

Reba is a great professor, and although this course is difficult, she tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. She is head of the accounting team, so she makes the tests, so she will tell you what to study and emphasize it. She is a little strict, but she wants you to succeed in the class so I reccommend taking her!

Reba is a great professor. She really cares about her students and will help you when you have questions. Attendance is mandatory throughout her class it is worth 75 point of your grade. You have various items that drop. Reba overall is an amazing professor and I would use her again.

She is a nice lady and all but she definitely is strict. I took a 5 week summer accounting class with her and it was rough. Not because of the way she instructs but the amount of work that is expected by you in such a short amount of time. She is in charge of making the exam questions and she doesn't make it easy. Super hard test questions

Reba is a decent teacher but she has major personality flaws. She says you don't have to come to class but you can't get an A if you aren't in class (pop quizzes). As a tutor, she messed up the ACCT 1 curriculum so bad I don't know how to help. But take her for ACCT 1 because her students get advantages since she writes the test. Her ego is insane.

Reba is the head of the department. She still works in the industry and is able to provide real world examples in every class. Sit front row and write your questions down for the GA (Especially Test 2). ACCT is just confusing period but Reba simplifies it well! She writes the tests and she knows how to prepare you best!

Take Reba if you want to understand and pass accounting. My friends who aren't taking her are asking to sit in and listen to her lectures. She's top dog when it comes to accounting. I love her. She is respected and knows her stuff, super sarcastic and fun, her outfits are always professional and cool. Would take her again in a heartbeat.

Reba is a great accounting professor, one of which you can tell that she knows what she is talking about and has the professional experience to back it up. Her class is slightly personal learning focused through McGraw hill smart books. Other than that her lectures are very helpful and informative, and she explains complex subjects with ease.

She is clear about what is on the exams, how to prepare and how to be successful. Accounting can be a tough class but if you go to class and do the homework you can easily pass. She is helpful and educated and has personal experiences that helps put it into real world perspectives. I would love to hangout with Reba socially my fav prof ever.

Wow I just love Reba. I'm honestly jealous of people who get to take her for the first time. If you have a chance to get Reba, get her. She is by far the best accounting 1 professor, my friends taking other professors agree. I don't have any complaints. She genuinely wants the best for her students, and shes extremely inspirational I want to be her

Reba McDermott said that she is a strict but fair professor, and I have to agree with her on that. She will ask you to leave her class if you are talking, not paying attention, or on your phone. She really knows what shes talking aobut. Attendence is clicker points that she does every class. Extra credit saved my grade!!

Reba is a phenomenal professor with professional insight. I don't plan to major in accounting, but I thoroughly enjoyed her teaching style (lecture heavy). She gives you all the information you need to be successful, but getting an A does require a good amount of studying and dedication. Take her!!!

There are a total of 6 tests including the final and concept exam. If you study the slides and go to class you will be fine. She comes off a bit edgy, but she really knows what she's talking about and cares about her students.
