Classic example of a teacher taking challenging material and explaining it in a way that we can understand. She also does such a great job of laying out what we need to do to be successful in her class.

Comment:

I would describe Fin 340 with Peggy as a straight forward class or better yet well organized. Attend and pay attention to all lectures and reviews, ask questions, do the homework problems even though she doesnt collect or grade them and finally pay attention to the exam review sheets as well as the breakdowns and youll do great!

Comment:

Do not take this class online. There is no week to week structure, and the whole grade is pretty much made up of four tests. She does not have the class outlined in the syllabus, and she is mapping out the class as she goes. No structure, no teaching, few materials, and no week to week assignments. No homework- tests only. Don't take online.

Comment:

Professor Peggy Ward is an amazing professor. She explains the content quite well. But make sure you go to class as the content can get confusing if you miss class. Tests are relatively easy if you go through the HW. Please go to the review day before the exam as most of the exam questions are similar to the review questions discussed in class.

This class is fairly easy. The material is easy to remember and the equations used are very simple. The test questions are extremely similar to the examples she goes over in class. There's a project in the class but it is pretty easy to do and she grades it pretty nicely.

Comment:

You definitely need to study and memorize those formulas. Her study guide is pretty much the exam. Homework is assigned, not graded, good for practice. Discussion boards on BB. Attend lectures because it's a lot of technical material to cover. Put in considerable effort and you should do fine. I studied pretty well prior to exams and got an A.

Comment:

Ms. Ward's expectations are extremely clear cut, and she responds to emails with lightning speed. She puts all of the homework answers on Blackboard, which was great for an independent learner for me. I used the homework and homework answers to study the concepts, which allowed me to get A's on the tests. Great class.

Peggy's Financial Management class was the best surprise of my semester. She is outstanding. She understands that students have busy schedules and doesn't waste our time. Easy project, tells you exactly what you need to know for exam, always willing to go above and beyond to help you understand the concepts. Would gladly take again!

Great teacher. one of the best at WSU. she tells you what is on the exam and gives you problem like them to review. Also this is more of a math class so be prepared to work with numbers.

Great professor that makes turns a subject that is otherwise boring, interesting. She brings a lot of real world experience to classes which is needed because the text book is awful. She gave me a new found interest in the field of Finance.

She is one of the best teachers ever. She speeds up in lectures but before the tests she will give us a short review. Her schedule are amazing. I guarantee that you won't feel overwhelm. The tests are pretty much along with the homework and review. Making sure that you go over the review sheet and all the homework for the test. Project is easy.

Professor Ward is one of the best instructors at WSU. She makes a very difficult subject seem easy. She only lectures the material she tests on, which is still a lot. She breaks the concepts into terms normal people can understand. Go to class, pay attention during lectures and reviews, and there is no reason you will not get a good grade.
