Reviews of professor Mary MacAusland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor MacAusland is a truly amazing professor! When I first joined the Hotel School, I dreaded college, but quickly adapted to my environment through her class. I fell in love with accounting and while she may have strict policies, they are all designed to help you learn the material. The TAs are also very helpful for this course.

Lots of homework but they are very helpful for me to keep up on the materials, and you can drop some of the homework (I forgot how many of them). Prelims make up a large portion of the grade so be sure not to fall behind. Very helpful professor.

She is an amazing professor at the Hotel School. I took her course in Spring 2022 and she was one of the best professors at Cornell that was really caring of students and took the time out of her busy day to help us all. A truly caring and inspirational professor that knows her content of accounting and is a master.

Professor MacAusland is an excellent professor. She is obviously an accounting expert, but she is equally good at making financial accounting understandable to students. She is patient with questions in class and encourages students to attend office hours. Even though attendance isn't graded, each class is so valuable that you really shouldn't skip

MacAusland could go either way for me. She honestly is a fair and pretty good teacher, but she gives a lot of work. Her exams are often tough, but with proper studying, you can do well in the class. Just know, her class is something you definitely can't bs your way through.
