The tests in the class are difficult. Results aren't great, but I understood the material. Never really had to use the textbook because everything outside of the textbook could be used and were more helpful. Prof and TAs weren't very helpful. I recommend taking another prof.

Comment:
Financial accounting is the most difficult class I've had at Northeastern, but I'm glad I took it with Peggy O'Kelly. She's an excellent teacher who makes you appreciate the topic, helps you learn, extends generous office hours, and offers lots of material to study from. Still, don't expect accounting to be easy, even with a great professor.

Professor O'Kelly is the best professor I have had at Northeastern thus far! She is very articulate and clear in her lectures, and makes it a point to solidify our understanding with worksheets in class and Connect homework outside of class. She is helpful with office hours and she's extremely nice. Her tests and grading is fair!

She was a great professor. She knew what she was doing and explained things well and really wants you to pass. She gives you a lot of optional things to practice with which is really helpful for the final. Her class is top notch.

Best professor I've had at NU. Take her class! She teaches in a way that makes the material so much more understandable than it is in the textbook. Go to her office hours and homework help sessions if you are struggling and she will focus on the areas that you are struggling with. Focus on her class problems to do well on tests.

Peggy is the best accounting teacher there is! She really knows the information inside out and is extremely helpful. All the accounting sections learn the same thing and have the same types of quizzestests, but there is no question that she teaches the material the best. She is the most professional teacher I've ever had! Definitely recommend!

Comment:
Accounting shouldn't be taken online, and Professor O'Kelly herself seems very uncomfortable with the format. That said, it's laid out fairly well, with reminders for all the homework that needs to be completed, etc etc. Her lectures don't fully cover the homework you are expected to complete, and you have to do online research on your own to do it

Professor O'Kelly has a great teaching style! I felt like I was learning the material well in class and then having that knowledge reinforced by the online work was really helpful.

She's absolutely wonderful! Explains things clearly and her in-class lectures and exercises are so helpful. She doesn't put anything surprising on her tests and quizzes. If you put forth the effort you should do pretty well.

One of the best teachers I have ever had I would recommend her to anyone! she is so clear in the way that she teaches and breaks the class up between problem sets and lecture. She really cares about her students understanding the material. I never used the textbook and still got an A. She's the best!!

She is a good teacher, but you have to try in the class. There are online homeworks and online quizzes every week, which wasn't that bad. The midterm and final were all right, but you absolutely had to study. We also had 2 "Problem Sets" that are just problem packets. I would recommend her.

Don't get tricked into thinking this is an easy A. While the homework is pretty straightforward and easy, the midterm/exams completely were a stark surprise... I mean since it's online you tend to slack but people getting below 70% on the exams were pretty much the norm.. Not an easy A
