Dr. Patty Goedl is a neurodivergent, award‑winning Professor of Accounting at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College. She holds a PhD and is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). She has numerous publications, presentations, and media appearances related to the scholarship of teaching and learning most of which focus on fostering student success. She has also earned a post‑baccalaureate certificate in neuroinclusive education, which strongly shapes her approach to teaching and program design. Guided by the belief that everyone belongs, Dr. Goedl advocates for inclusive learning environments and for students who may question their place in higher education.
In her free time, Patty enjoys meditation, nature, and animals. She lives on a five-acre horse farm where she maintains what could be called a small petting zoo. She enjoys spending time with her husband (Duane), two daughters (Kelly & Stephanie), and her granddaughter (Kinsley).
NOTE TO STUDENTS
I wrote this book for my students. In recent years, textbook costs, like everything else, have increased exponentially. I published this book as an Open Educational Resource, so students did not need to purchase yet another expensive textbook. I hope you enjoy this video textbook. It is my gift to you.
