Lectures are hard to understand, which didn't support my learning. TRACE extra credit was given, but midterms were difficult.FINA2201 2026-04-27 17:57:47 +0000 UTC

Nice person. Terrible teacher. Relies on the students way too much. Sometimes it is difficult to understand her.FIN2001 2012-05-05 23:44:49 +0000 UTC
She does not explain this course well at all. She is not an easy to explain teacher.FINA2201 2026-04-20 23:14:21 +0000 UTC
She was rather hard to understand so it made it difficult to learn. I relied heavily on the book for tests.FINA201 2012-12-14 15:02:00 +0000 UTC
Your grade will be fine because she gives a lot of homeworks out. She is good, a little boring, but it's just another college class. She's the safest choice for sure.FINA2201 2026-04-06 14:48:13 +0000 UTC
Tests are online (except the final). Lectures are so hard to pay attention to - monotone, boring, and doesn't ask for participation. This makes absorbing the content significantly harder than it should be. She is sweet and cares about her students and course material. Take her for an easy A, but not if you plan on taking other finance courses.FINA2201 2024-12-17 01:51:41 +0000 UTC
Great finance prof. She knows the material well and gives great lectures with a ton of practice. Attendance is part of your grade, but participation is not. Two midterms were online and were just like the practice and homework. Final is cumulative and in person. Overall great class with a prof who knows what she's talking about.FINA2201 2024-05-01 01:16:22 +0000 UTC
Take her for finance. She knows what she is talking about. Definitely go to class and try to keep up to make the final easier (it's a cumulative in-person final) but the other exams are online.FINA2201 2024-04-24 01:25:26 +0000 UTC
Online exams except final. offers curve and TRACE credit. I found her to be really concise, her powerpoints cover everything that makes reviewing a breeze. Office hours and availability was great and she offered a lot of help. can sometimes rush over some steps but just talk to her she will go over it. Overall extremely patient and kind.FINA2201 2024-04-18 20:56:52 +0000 UTC
All of the exams are online. There is a cheat sheet allowed on the final. Lectures can be boring but she is definitely the best finance prof I have heard for this course. She is so nice and actually wants people to do well. Offers extra credit for TRACE and will scale exams if need be.FINA2201 2023-05-03 16:35:27 +0000 UTC
Prof. Gu was an overall okay professor, she's super knowledgable but her lectures are so boring and it's difficult to pay attention. But her exams are all online which is a huge plus.FINA2201 2022-12-02 17:43:50 +0000 UTC
Knowledgeable professor but struggles to convey information often. GO TO CLASS. Professor can often get confusing with material because of backtracking and forgetting to explain things. Teaches material but often tests have content that was barely covered or only somewhat related to reviews. HWs are also not relevant to tests or the class.FINA2201 2022-05-05 16:01:54 +0000 UTC
Professor Gu is one of the best professors I have ever had at Northeastern University. I am a senior taking her course, and finance or financial accounting lecture heavy classes at Northeastern can be generally dull. However, this is the first finance class where I (a non-finance major) felt like I learned.FINA2201 2022-05-02 02:19:48 +0000 UTC
Its clear she knows the material perfectly, but her lectures are incredibly dull and confusing. There are only 4 grades in the class (Hw, 2 exams and final). You have to teach yourself EVERYTHING and its pretty challenging and time consuming. By the end of the semester there were only 6 students attending the class. Don't recommend taking.FINA2201 2022-04-22 15:52:17 +0000 UTC
