Comment:
Shes not that scary people. The material itself can be confusing, but she puts everything up on blackboard and more. Tells you exactly what is on tests and all the problems that are on the test are on BB. Online quizzes are exactly like homework on connect. If you stay organized, go to class, and stay on top of assignments its not hard at all.

Seems like the last couple reviewers were super salty. I thought this course was pretty easy. As long as you keep up with the work you should pass. Due dates are clearly defined in the syllabus. Finished with a 97 avg.

If you're taking this online, you're making a mistake. 100% of my problems in this class would have bene solved if I took it in person. Teaching yourself this will not be easy. It's not like a management course or calc class you can take online & teach yourself well. I'll finish with a B, but it's because MOST of my time revolved around studying

Comment:
Really hard class, boring to listen to. However, she was fair and really went over everything in detail. Definitely hard to listen to especially when I took a 2 and a half hour course with her twice, but if you can handle it and study, you should do well. Her spreadsheet projects are very tough so find a buddy or two and work together.

Class laid out clearly. Tells you exactly what is on the exam. Gives you class time to do projects. Learned real world material. Highly recommend if you want a job in finance.

AVOID this "teacher" at all costs - she really should not even be employed with such a good school. Does not grade things, unclear on due dates (yes, you will be marked late if you get it in the date it is due, because she is not clear). No teaching done, all online thru pearson lab - tests are a joke. Ruined my 4.0 because of HER errors.

Hands down the worst teacher I've ever had. She's rude to students, she tries to make you feel stupid, and she provides no help whatsoever. You'll never finish her tests and you should prepare yourself to sit down for hours at a time to complete the homework (I'm talking like 6-8 hours). Don't bother with extra help because she won't help you.

Took this during the summer session. Probably a good 6-7 hours of work a week I put into this course. LOTS of online homework. Prepare to pay for a my finance lab requirement. (approx $70) on top of textbook.

She is a very smart woman and not as bad as people say she is. As an accounting major I can comfortably say that she is as tough as any other professor. She does take the time to go over things in detail. Her mid term is long but she tells you exactly what the questions are. If you do all the problems on my finance lab you will do good.

This is my first posting on rate my professor. Beware of Dr. Shannon Donovan at Bridgewater State University! She is bar none, the crudest, most volatile human being I have ever encountered during my entire educational process! She will snap at you if you ask a question and will not respond to emails. She moves quick and is always in a bad mood!

Worst professor ever! the assignments took a lot of time and both midterm and final was a waste of time! She would give you 2 hrs but the work itself takes more than 2 hours! Also be prepared to fill out everything or else it is a 0. Be prepared to study for days. She is disrespectful to students and if you are working, she would tell you to quit!

I took her hybrid class which only met for the midterm and the final. The subject was easy to understand. The homework and quizzed helped you study. The only problem is that she never gives you enough time to finish the 2 tests. Also, she is very disrespectful to students. Always has an attitude and never responds to emails regarding your grades.

The syllabus day showed me that through her speech she was able to slow down time. very heavy workload course and teaching yourself is required. I found her nice and willing to help but not really enthusiastic. Tests are just ridiculous. study the guide and hope for the best. Also get a few beers and be excited for 5 hours of homework.

WORST! Minimalist professor@BSU. Make sure to stay above 95's on all MFL assgnmts cause you'll probably fail the tough&impossible midterm & final. Her attitude is blunt & she does not care for student progress. Will threaten to fail you if you miss any worktests. She's absolutely horrible. She needs a personality & career check!! Stay away!!!!

So here's the deal-I don't mind a difficult teacher. I actually enjoyed Sevigny and Silverman's class. This class has a lot of potential to be interesting, but the professor ruins it. It is as if she doesn't want to be there and has no enthusiasm for the subject. If you ask a question - get ready toffee l stupid. She is very smart, but steer clear.

Donovan does not teach well. No actual homework is assigned, she expects that if you don't understand the practice problems, you will bring them up in class. This 1 day a week class sucks because tests and lectures are together. She pushes you out of the college and laughs at you when you make mistakes or don't understand something.

Had this as a hybrid class, only attending for midterm and final exams which where huge and horrible. The subject is hard, she gives a lot of homework that takes hours to complete and is graded as well as weekly quizzes and discussions. Overall a horrible course and an even worse professor. DO NOT TAKE HER!!! I dont even know how I got a C.

If you have no social life, do not work, aren't taking any other classes then this class is for you. If you want a teacher to not help you, never respond to email, and offer the vaguest test questions this class is for you. She is the worst teacher I have ever had, I have no clue what I am doing no matter how hard I try. Failing my first class ever
