Comment:

She is very rude and will sometimes scream on the top of her lungs "shut up" to the class when she can't hear someone. She is also the pickiest grader i've ever met. You can do the entire homework right with every step and formula correct, but if not done in HER OWN SPECIFIC format, its wrong. But... you will learn if you put in the effort.

Comment:

Hard to describe without being rude. She's the better of the only two options, so that should say enough. There were five quizzes, no tests. The lectures definitely help, but not mandatory.

Stay away from her she is very rude to students. On homework if you make on slight mistake she will give you 0. Avoid taking her. She do not show you how she got the answer, she just put them up and say "see if you get the same answers."

Comment:

Class is doable. She will give a lecture, homework, "research project", then a quiz. All on the same exact material. She wants you to learn and it's definitely possible to get an A. shes very specific on how you submit work. If 1 thing is off she will give you a zero. So just follow her format and you'll be fine. Great teacher for hard class

Terrific! Really cares about students, and will spend 2 hours talking with you in her office, even about non-class things. Very sympathetic and understanding. Best teacher I've had at Montclair.!

Tries to make everything clear. Previous finance classes did not prepare me for her class - a lot ore work and effort. She has both in class work and homework, which help you to understand the material. She is willing to spend time with you if you are willing to spend time trying to learn the material. Her 24 hour e-mail response is great!

Tough but fair. She has strict rules, but she also wants students to do well in her course. She treats us like adults. I've learned more in this class than I learned in all my other finance classes put together.

Comment:

She is an excellent teacher as long as you follow her rules. She doesn't give much leeway, but neither does a job in the real world. She is truly interested in helping students understand what she's teaching. She's not easy, but she is fair. She answers e-mail in 24 hours, and she's easy to talk to.

Comment:

This teacher is extremely rude and yells at you every chance she gets. Please see her directions on one of the hw assignments "IF YOU DO NOT USE THE REQUIRED FORMAT, YOU WILL EARN A ZERO ON THIS HOMEWORK. Your opinion on this policy or its enforcement is irrelevant." She could care less about the students and makes it clearly apparent.

Comment:

I never write reviews but she is so terrible as a professor and a person that I had to warn people before signing up for her class. Gives no guidence, seems like she is always hopped up on adderal and coffee and just makes you feel dumb if you ask questions when she does not help. Profs are supposed to help students pass not laugh when they fail.

Comment:

She is so disrespectful to students. Literally talks to you like you are little kids with her yelling. She is not helpful on exams, doesn't give feedback on homework either. 2 exams, which are relatively hard. I wouldn't suggest taking her to finance. Wouldn't recommend her.

Comment:

I took this class in the Spring of 2015, as a senior it was my last class and I had to retake it in the summer 2015 due to the lack of assistant from Cecilia Ricci, I strongly recommend taking another finance prof. if you have the opportunity or you will regret it. I have never encounter with such an inconsiderate and disrespectful person.

Comment:

She's a very uptight professor, was not a fan of her at all. Very simple way of lecturing through slides and gives hw with midterm and final. By uptight I mean she gives no exceptions, for example if you accidentally print out your hw and bring it to class and not submiting it online, it's a 0
