She is so sweet and willing to help you however she can. Extra credit WILL save you. It's very tedious at times but do it all and you will get an A. I failed most of the exams/quizzes and still ended up with an A. Even though I did bad on the assignments I still feel like I learned more than I did in ACCT207 with another prof.

Gives a LOT of work but ultimately that work makes it easier to get an A. She gives tons of extra credit which combined with doing well on the quizzes, mini exams, and homeworks make the cumulative final less of an issue to get an A.

Dragone is a great prof. She doesn't alwayexplain things very clearly in lectures but if you follow along her class lecture outlines and do the homeworks and extra credit you will be fine. I did pretty bad on like 2 of the quizzes but they barely affected my grade. Exams aren't that difficult if you study.

Isn't very great at explaining the material. I recommend studying the homework more than her notes when taking quizzes and exams. On some of the quizzes and exams I did well, while others I did terrible. I failed the final but she offers so much extra credit that my final grade went from a B to an A.

I'm torn writing this review because she wasn't a good "online" professor. I'm told she's amazing in person, but I realized her lectures online were a waste and that the textbook problems were closer to the exam questions (since they make the questions). I got an A but it was only because of how much EC she gives. Wish me luck in Cost Accounting :0

She is so sweet, and gives plenty of homework that would help boost your grade. Wasnt a difficult class overall. I would definitely recommend her she really cares about her students.

She was great. Did give out a lot of quizzes but they didn't drop your grade by much if you did bad. Gave lots of extra credit. Explains very well. Available a lot for extra help. Liked her a lot.

She is a good teacher and very nice lady but she has no idea what she is doing when it comes to online classes. She will teach you one thing and the online program will test you one something completely different. She is the definition of the person who should take early retirement that is being offered by UD.

She's the opposite of lazy. The only professor that still holds 5 live zoom lectures every day from home. Will go out of her way to make sure you understand the material, just make sure to ask for help when you need it!

This class is challenging, and requires you to pay attention to every lecture. Attendance is not required. Grading consists of homework, quizzes (not worth a lot, but there's a lot of them and opportunities for extra credit on all of them), 3 Exams and a cumulative final. A good grade is doable if you put in the time, so start studying early!

I'm a mkt major and really struggle with acct. That being said: Dragone is the BEST. Moves quick in class, had to teach myself. But she actually cares about students and will give all the help needed outside of class. Advice for exams: redo the quizzes and worksheets over and over until you nail them all. Huge con: cumulative final is impossible.

Dragone is awesome! She's tough but she wants students to succeed. She gives a lot of quizzes and homework but drops some of them. She also gives a lot of examples which is really helpful. Dragone is fair and gave us extra credit at the end of the semester. This class is hard and a bit fast paced but Dragone knows her stuff and is really helpful.

She really wants her students to succeed. She doesn't put the grades into canvas which is a little frustrating but she offers a lot of extra credit and tries to make sure her students do well. She only counts 8 quizzes but we take at least 11, so having 3 get dropped is nice. She doesn't take attendance but you won't learn if you don't go.

Amazing professor! If you go to class and pay attention you should be quite successful. Would definitely recommend her to Accounting Majors who will be taking ACCT327 later - her and Gillespie have very similar teaching styles.

Really great teacher and wants best for students. Quizzes like everyday, but they're pretty easy and you get them back the next day. 3 exams and a cumulative final. Really have to go to class because she is super fast. Accounting is hard but she curves a lot and will really help you out if you're struggling

One of the best professors I've had at UD. Lots of quizzes but they're not hard as long as you keep up with material. Must go to class because notes she posts are vague. Really cares about her students and gives a lot of extra credit at the end of the semester to help everyone out. 100% would take again if I could.

3 exams, lots of quizzes, online homework. Must go to class to follow the problems she does. Quizzes are almost every class, but lowest are dropped and you can accumulate extra credit through them. Also she gives about 30 points extra credit throughout the semester. Exams and quizzes are tough but she tells you exactly what will be on them.

Prof. Dragone goes thru the material very fast so more likely than not you will be lost the first time she teaches a new topic. However if you pay attention whenever she goes over handouts and quizzes you will be caught and prepared enough for the material if it comes on a test. Tests are easy if you do a practice test. Quiz 1-2x per week.

Don't take her if possible. Her teaching style is way too fast and every time you learn a thing, the next day there will be a quiz. If you didn't understand the material by the next class, your grade might suffer. Kinda disorganized at times, and there are extra credits. Tests are ok. I'd take other professor if possible.
