Reviews of professor Mary MacAusland

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took the class last year. Attendance was mandatory even though it was easier just to teach yourself the material which also defeats the purpose of paying for a class...

Professor MacAusland is an acquired taste. She comes off at first as being harsh and cold, but that's mostly because she has to be in order to teach accounting. Once you get to know her, you'll surely realize that she really cares about her students and (somehow) has a passion for her subject. She is very fair and helps form complete understanding.

Fun interesting financial accounting class but unfortunately a not so stellar teacher. Not sure what else you'd expect. A simple class.

Professor MacAusland is a nice lady but this is not a class that you can just take. Study consistently, pay attention to the textbook and do the homework.

Really cares about her students- go to office hours! Paces her class well and has quizzes to ensure that you're understanding the material. DON'T FALL BEHIND- very hard to catch up bc concepts build off each other. Be proactive and participate, and you should be good. Not forgiving to students who don't seek help when she has so many opportunities

Everyone is very scared of her. Just try to get on her good side and you'll be fine. You kind of have to learn it yourself.

Prof. MacAusland is tough but caring, emphasizing real learning. She's knowledgeable and passionate, though her personal office hours could be more accessible. Tons of unfortunately helpful homework, emphasis on paper. Strict deadlines. Exams are quite fair with a few bonus points. Great teacher, no-nonsense, knows what works for students' success.

Professor MacAusland is a very tough professor especially for first year students. However, even as she is a very tough professor she is caring of all her students and want all of them to do well. I feel that her being a tough professor it emphasis real learning and allows for students to really understand the concepts of Accounting in business.

Absolutely ZERO late work is accepted in this class, be prepared to turn in every single assignment on time or not at all. Lectures are very helpful (although attendance is mandatory so you'll be in them either way). Prelims and the Final were tough but all grades are relatively clear. GO TO TA OFFICE HOURS, she tracks attendance!

Professor MacAusland truly cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. However, the piles of work assigned to students is extremely overwhelming and tends to not be as helpful as she believes it to be. Not really sure how to feel about her.
