Her tests are jokes, you will not need to open the book and you will get an 'A'. She is very unclear on what she wants for her papers and written work, which is 35% of your grade. Easy B, forgets to take attendance a lot.

This is a buisness communications class > she is so hot!!! You want her dudes. The class doesn't have tests anymore -- they switched to all papers and buisness speaches, so just prepair for that. Shannon is sweet, but you must attend to get a good grade. She is helpful if she likes you, and comes across rude many times. SUPER HOT!

Very easy class - two tests, and a group project instead of a final. Quizzes throughout the semester. Attendance is a big part of the grade. You need a book for daily classwork. Not hard, but annoying busywork. She is just about the nicest person ever and is willing to help out. Quizzes and tests come straight from powerpoint lectures - posted on B

I think I liked accounting because of Mrs. McCutchen.

Pretty much your entire grade is determined by the tests. Do the homework because it will help you with the test but it won't affect your grade a whole lot. Tests are purely multiple choice usually 20 questions worth 200 points, so miss a few questions and you're down a letter grade. Didn't see many people do well.

Shannon is a fantastic teacher, ACCT 225 is no joke. But if you got to her lectures, go to SI, and read the book you should get an A in the class. You have to work hard to get a good grade because the material is difficult, but Shannon is a good teacher! Some times flys through the powerpoints so pay attention!

I really liked Mrs. McCutchen. A lot of people think shes rude, but thats only if you dont show up to class and dont try. She was nice when I talked to her. This class is really hard but she does her best to make it understandable. Im probably going to major in Accounting after this class. Also, go to the SI sessions. Theyre a HUGE help!

If attendance wasn't so important, there'd be no point in showing up to class. She doesn't do a good job of teaching the material and I would end up teaching the material to myself. SI sessions are very helpful since they do a much better job of getting the basics across. It's very test heavy, but it's multiple choice so you can guess.

Acct is hard. Attendance is mandatory if you want to learn anything and to get participation points. Take advantage of homework and quizzes to help boost your grade. Gave a little extra credit. SI Ellie was a life saver. Had to study really hard for exams, but she does give lots of resources to help you learn. She seems intimidating but shes nice.

I read she was a great teacher, but that was before COVID. Not everything translates as smoothly in a completely online class. The content is difficult, work the problems she tells you to and keep up with the book. It is a point based system and she could definitely offer some more bonus/leniency points.

Prof McCutchen is difficult. You will make a 100 on the quizzes, but they do take some time, because it is on content you haven't learned in class yet. Homeworks aren't bad. Lectures aren't long but the first lecture of the week is similar to the second. Attendance is taken based on participation questions but still go to class. The tests are hard.

Attendance is tracked through iclicker questions so you have to pay attention during lectures. It is beneficial though becuase if you follow along with her lectures and do the practice problems with her you will understand the material and do well.

Professor McCutchen's ACCT 225 class is extremely tough. Her focus on accounting skills over test prep leaves students struggling on heavily weighted exams. Missing homework is a disaster, and many topics and concepts are overwhelming. Many students drop the class due to low grades. Be ready for a challenging experience if you take this course.

She's a very good lecturer. Her class is very homework based, and she uses clicker to take attendance for every class. She does explain concepts well, give good examples, and gives ample time to complete assignments. If you put time into the class and pay attention during the lectures, you'll be fine. She does have SI sessions, start going early.

Great professor if you like stuff to the point. It is very lecture and homework but the SI sessions greatly help with the tests. Lectures are pretty boring but they are helpful and she gives good examples.

McCutchen gets a bad name but she really is a great teacher. Her class is hard but if you stay ahead of assignments, you'll do fine. Going to class is required and very beneficial. I really believe that she prepares students for other business classes.

She's really sweet and I thought her lectures were helpful. The textbook is super important and doing the questions in the book probably helped the most on exams. She is really caring and loves accounting! I would recommend.

This is not an easy class, and she is a tough professor, but she really does set you up for success if you put in the effort. Class is mandatory but helpful, and there are so many textbook readings/quizzes so be prepared. However, if you actually show up and do the work you should be just fine. SI session test reviews also helped a ton.

Not an easy class but McCutchen does a great job teaching it. When she lectures she has paper in front of her and writes down everything you need to write and study. She provides and examples for everything you need to know for the exam. The homework assignments take longer than they should so give yourself plenty of time to do them and get help.

The content in this class can be hard to get a hang of, but Mccutchen takes notes alongside you throughout class, so you will have everything she wants you to know for the exams. She is pretty strict with attendance, but it is hard to miss a day and catch up. Highly recommend taking her if you haven't worked with accounting before.

I loved McCutchen, she is very sweet and genuinely wants each of her students to succeed. You will not leave any of her classes without learning something. She uses iClicker for attendance. Everything on her exams are concepts she directly mentioned in class. Go to an SI session if you struggle, the test reviews are so helpful.

Many criticize her, but I think she's a great teacher who will challenge you. If you don't read the chapters or do the homework honestly, you won't pass. The exams are short, which is nice, and she always tells you what to study. Use all the resources she provides if you're struggling.

Mrs. McCutchen was a great teacher. I had to retake this course from last semester and the difference in my grade is crazy. She is very strict about coming to class, but as long as you pay attention to her notes which she hand writes, and do the homework there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. Her tests are exactly how she says they will be too.

I personally had an amazing experience with this class and her as a whole. She likes to engage with students if you get to class early which makes you feel connected. Yes, attendance does matter and there's a lot of homework and quizzes but I didn't find this class hard at all.

McCutchen was a great professor, honestly, one of my favorites. The class is made to be difficult and as long as you did the work required, paid attention in class, and studied for the exams it should be easy to achieve an A in this class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

She does a great job with her lectures, and they are very engaging. Accounting itself is difficult to understand but she offers resources, credit, and many practice problems in class. If you study for the tests, take notes, and pay attention in class it is not too hard to get a good grade.

She's a really good teacher. She explains at the beginning that you have to read the textbook to do well in the class because she doesn't have enough time to go over everything during the lectures. She does practice problems in class a lot. Attendance is also mandatory; she makes you sign in every class. Her tests are also really straightforward.

I personally loved her which people tend to have very mixed feelings but she's honestly just being real and wants her students to succeed and will be brutally honest that you need to prepare for class besides just the work she assigns. The SI sessions are extremely helpful and exam 2 is the one I got a C on and is the hardest. Exam 3 and final easy

Honestly she was a really good teacher but make sure to pay attention to what she says in class and the practice problems she does, because 9 times out of 10 the ones on the test were almost identical. The SI sessions are life saving, I went from getting a 55 on Test 1 to a 85 on Test 3.
