Reviews of professor Kristen Tharrington

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Regardless of what others have said, she is a good professor. There is a lot of homework but only two tests and a final. As long as you put effort into this class you will pass.

Would avoid her class given the opportunity. Took her two semesters in a row and suffered. She has an extensive career in the business world and is easy to get along with but has never taught a day in her life. Reads everything from the power point. Two exams and a final and ENDLESS homework. Can't explain anything to you if you're confused. Aviod.

Professor Tharrington is a very kind woman, but be prepared to put in the work to get a good grade. Learn how to study for her tests and ask questions in class as she is not that easily accessible outside of class.

Really nice professor but the lectures/hw/notes given during the course weren't that helpful for studying for her exams compared to other accounting courses I've taken at Fairfield. Only thing saving you is that the exams during the course are only worth around 40% of your grade

Professor Tharrington has a good heart, that is about the extent of niceties to offer. She treats her students like they are trivial, is homework heavy and does not respond well to students who do not understand/get facts right in class. Will admit to you that she ignores emails, which she does, all the while being an enjoyable person to talk to.

She is a good teacher and knows her stuff but you have to work for a good grade. If you study the material you will do good on the tests. Homework every week but is easy. Planning on taking her again.
