Accounting/Budgeting/Lib Arts
Accounting, Budgeting, and the Liberal Arts Accounting is the lingua franca of commercial and financial activity, and applies equally to corporations, non-profits, and governments. In this course we will learn the basic concepts and standards underlying the accounting language including: revenue recognition, inventory, long-lived assets, present value, long-term liabilities, and financial statements.

Professor Magri is an excellent teacher and clearly cares very much about the material and getting people to learn. All homework you get 6 attempts, quizzes are take home, open note, and you get two tries, etc. She wants you to learn, not worry about grades. You do have to buy the e-textbook however, because that is where the homework is.
All the exams are open book and homework is completed through Connect. You don't have to do any of the reading before class, although it helps if you want to participate. Participation isn't required, though. The final project is easy and as long as it looked like you did something you will get an A. Magri is very sweet if you need any help!
Prof. Magri was an accountant before she came to teach here, so she is very knowledgeable. If you have questions about the homework, she is always there to answer anything you need. The homework can sometimes be tedious, but it helps you understand the material well. I would recommend taking this course 100 times over.
Professor Magri is an incredibly nice person and a good professor. Homework and quizzes are very easy; you get three attempts to check each problem on homework for no lost points, and three chances to submit homework. Quizzes are take-home and you get two attempts, with the highest score being taken as your grade.
Intro Accounting with Magri was a very good class. I learned a lot about Accounting in it, which is very valuable if you plan on working in finance. The class was easy, with online tests, but it was still very helpful.
Accounting was good--definitely easy as long as you complete the Connect assignments, and stay up to date with course concepts. Tests are all take-home and open note, and final project is with a group but is very doable.
Intro to accounting with Magri was a good class to get a background in accounting. Magri is a very accommodating professor. The final project is the biggest part of the class but is largely up to the students to organize and execute.
Accounting with Magri was a good course, she tries to cover a lot in a short amount of time, the Connect homework assignments are kind of a lot, but they can be really beneficial. The exams are take home so very doable.
