Excellent professor always willing to help when needed. It's true that it's not an easy subject but it's worth the effort.FIN3303 2018-01-14 22:22:57 +0000 UTC
Professor Pantalone is an awesome teacher. Her tests are fair and her class is a good mix of her teaching and doing problems. She offers extra credit throughout the semester and encourages participation. She is always available to help and makes time for her students. She is a great teacher!FIN201 2008-07-30 11:01:48 +0000 UTC
Underrated on this ratemyprofessor.com ... Finance sucks but this professor does not. Anyone who posts that she was a bad professor is out of their mind. She is helpful and clear and even gave me extra credit. It's finance .. either you understand it or you don't.FIN301 2008-04-29 15:06:02 +0000 UTC
She's a great professor. If you just show up to class, you'll ace the course.FINU201 2007-05-02 12:06:55 +0000 UTC
Super under-rated. i feared her before taking the class cause of the ratings on here. she doesnt hate guys, contrary to what was said before. if you just pay attention in class its hard to do badly in her classes. she grades fairly and the TA is a big help. dont fear pantalone.FINU301 2006-07-04 16:41:53 +0000 UTC
If you are stupid enough to register for this class and decided to take it ... you deserve the F you are going to get anyways.FINANCE 2006-02-24 09:38:03 +0000 UTC
The problems she solves on the board are very hard to follow, she makes everything hard to undrestand..I ended up having to go over everything she said in class on my own=conclusion:you learn finance on your own not in class.FINU102 2005-12-25 07:45:25 +0000 UTC
You are better off buying the textbook and doing the work straight out of the book instead of going to class. She offers no added value to the course beyond what you can find in the text. Avoid this one.ENT201 2005-11-29 07:33:48 +0000 UTC
very very very very hard.FIN 2005-11-15 13:09:12 +0000 UTC
Textbook use is quite important as lectures are long and notes can get ambiguous. She's caring and will like you if you treat her respectfully and show interest. It is a hard subject but manageable if you keep up to date!FIN3303 2018-01-14 22:20:51 +0000 UTC
not the most interesting,b ut was able to hold my attention through the whole 100 min class. just show up and you will be fine, she even gives extra credit if you come to class and not a lot of other people did. otherwise she doesn't give any extra credit, but she is super accessible and approachableFIN201 2007-05-07 05:09:35 +0000 UTC
good teacher. if you go to class every day and do the hw problems you'll ace this class. reviews cover what will be on the test and every test problem is similar to one of the hw problems she assigned. I recommend taking her classFINU201 2006-07-02 19:58:55 +0000 UTC
Holy **** whose stupid enough to take this class with her?FINANCE 2006-02-24 08:53:31 +0000 UTC
Nice professor, however she did not really explain any of the tools or topics in this class well. The textbook for this class was horrible. My biggest complaint with this professor would be that the financials she brought to class were dated. This class would have been much better if more emphasis was placed on the investments game.FIN3303 2014-08-22 10:20:18 +0000 UTC
she is a great teacher, the class topics are dense but she really does teach them well and keeps your attention. the only thing is the annoying online aplia homework. she is great. i would recommend her.FIN201 2007-04-04 19:12:29 +0000 UTC
