Reviews of professor Deanna Mackie

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Mackie might be the best professor I've had at Hillsdale thus far. While we covered a wide array of material, she presented it clearly and was willing to help any student with difficult concepts. Although she assigned quite a bit of homework, it was never busy work.

Mackie is a real gem. Her class isn't a pushover and you will have to put the time in, but if you do, you will be rewarded. Super helpful in office hours, and an overall incredible person! Don't worry if you tank one of the exams. I did, and still recovered and ended up with an A-. Lectures are also solid if you actually prepare for class and do hw

The homework load for this class was 4-5x any of my other classes at Hillsdale, and it was checked either in person or by Canvas, so it HAD to be complete; incomplete or missing homework is -1% from final grade. Dr. Mackie explains things well, but she explains them once and quickly; be prepared for furious notetaking. Exams are very difficult.

Professor Mackie is an excellent professor and presents large amounts of information with clarity and patience. She is absolutely worth taking and was a great introduction to the subject of Accounting.

Mackie was a very caring professor. In her class you get what you put into it. She assigned lots of homework but  by doing it you were very prepared for exams. She grades partial credit on exams and would also give us freebies in class. Also, the final exam was curved. Overall, she was a great professor who really cares about her students.
