Comment:

This class is unbelievably easy. She seems to have watered it down to accomodate those students who can't handle basic algebra and usage of the financial calculator. She is intolerant of questions about how to use the calculator, and rightfully so, so know how to use your calculator before class starts.

Comment:

Do NOT take this professor. She does not teach but expects you to know the answer to her unclear questions. No help at all. Snaps at anyone who asks a question in class and good luck if you need help with the calculator. Should concentrate in lecturing instead of trying to be funny.

Comment:

She is one sarcastic lady who hates questions about anything. Don't ask about homework, and most importantly the calculator. She "doesn't teach calculators" in a class that requires exstensive use of a calculator. Good Luck, you'll need it!!

This lady has serious issues! I would not take her unless you don't mind putting up with her horrible teaching style and rude attitude. You also have to pretty much teach yourself the material. Many of the test questions were never touched on in lectures.

Comment:

I really enjoy this teacher. She has a "take no crap" kind of attitude and really applies the real world to the class content. She also puts pressure on those students (usually the young ones) who haven't learned respect nor who have manners.

Comment:

WOW, she has serious issues. I use to be intrested in finance but she has changed my opinion. You pretty much have to figure out everything your self becuase if you ask her a question she will make you feel like an idoit. I wouldn't recommend her at all.

Comment:

Where did the nice attitude go that you read earlier? Not sure. But she IS scarcatic all the time, expects you to remember everything from previous accounting courses to learn the new material, and has no problem raising her voice and making you feel stupid in the classroom. No personable skills.

Comment:

This lady sucks. She yells at you if you ask her a question. Her tests deal with 50% of the homework the other 50% she just pulls out of mid-air. She is incredible sarcastic and you will be fine with this until she gets to you. I would stay away if you could.

Comment:

Very boring teaching style. Reads off of the provided text book slides. Read the chapter, read the sliedes, do the homework, and always partcipate. You can't go wrong. Likes those who show effort and interest into the course. Good Luck!

I never worked so hard in my life to get a B in a class but she is an EXTRMELY GREAT PROFESSOR. But if you think that you are going to slack and get a good grade then you have another thing coming to you.

Not a pushover! Gruff lady- scares the weak! I learned a lot from her- if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to "tie my shoes" in the finance world.

She is a good teacher from the working world of business. She won't spoon feed you but if you apply yourself and ask questions she will help you to understand the material. Tests are pretty basic.

Don't let first impressions scare you. She is a very nice lady and a very helpful professor. She spends most of class going over actual finance problems which is very helpful. Tests are very straight-forward and easy to make a good grade on.

Comment:

She has a lot of knowledge. If she knows that you want to do well she will bend over backwards for you. She did a lot for me and I did well considering that I did not totally understand it. The best thing is to go see her when you are having problems.
