Only final answers count and even harder because no multiple choice. Does not explain how to get to correct answers for homework/quiz/test even after submission. Buying the textbook was a waste since no math in textbook but all math for assignments.FINA6750 2020-04-07 01:49:53 +0000 UTC
Excellent Professor in every sense of the word. Regardless of your major or interest for finance, her clear passion for the material (and teaching) coupled with the fluidity in her presenations will have you drawn in. Group projects are involved, so just pick your groupmates wisely and you'll be fine. She also grades very quickly. 12/10 overall.FINA4220 2019-12-24 07:23:25 +0000 UTC
Kovacs give lot of home work. Very particular about steps but don't look at final solution to award grades. Hard to understand and follow. She looks at fine details in excel, column title missing, color missing etc. rather than the content. Her group project is task oriented and very hard to work on, with mid-term exam around the corner. Skip!FINA3210 2018-04-04 09:20:23 +0000 UTC
The course is difficult, but Professor briefly explains the lecture slide and gives examples to ensure her students understand the materials. Pay more attention in the class, and review the homework exercises, you sure pass the exams.FIN303 2016-06-05 03:42:55 +0000 UTC
One of my favorite at UML. Nicest lady you will ever meet. Class is tough but Tunde does a good job at explaining the material. You'll get the grade you earn. Stock trak is worth a large part of your grade so get a good group. Would definitely recommend herINVESTMENTS 2015-02-23 21:15:11 +0000 UTC

Kovacs was the best teacher I have ever had! She explained really well, gave amazing examples with detailed steps and enough homework to make you practice and remember all the concepts. Her project was great and really helped to grasp on the concepts, and give real world experience with investing and use of excel. Always available for questions!FINA3210 2018-04-02 22:53:25 +0000 UTC
