Best professor Ive had at NEU. Her slides were very clear and explained the material very well. It was a tough class and you really have to put in effort to do well but it was worth it. Make sure to go to class because attendance does matter. She curves grades at the end too which really helps.FINA2201 2018-08-05 15:06:50 +0000 UTC
Outstanding teacher! Sets clear expectations, great lectures, provides enough practice to master the material and prepares INCREDIBLE SLIDES!2201 2014-11-09 18:15:01 +0000 UTC
She is very clear on what you need to know for the tests. If you put in the effort getting a good grade is not extremely difficult. She is always available to help students during her office hours. Would definitely recommend.2301 2014-10-31 13:17:18 +0000 UTC
Her class was okay. The lectures were very surface level, and then the tests were super in-depth. Her tests are only 18 questions, so if you get three MCs wrong, you'll get a bad grade. Nevertheless, she curves the grades at the end, so as long as you do well enough (C+) on the tests, you'll be fine. HW and participation is also 25% so that helpsFINA2201 2018-05-13 17:49:18 +0000 UTC
Everything I learned in this class was self taught and out of the classroom. She wouldnt explain anything in class, she would just give answers and wouldnt walk us through the process. Not one class could I do every problem she would give us.FINA2201 2018-04-10 18:19:25 +0000 UTC
