Comment:
Sue is a great professor, she makes this class easy. Her tests can be difficult as she puts too many questions on it for the time she gives us. The worst part about her is the fact that she hasnt graded anything since January and we now have one week till finals so no one knows what their grades are. Very bad at staying on top of grades

Comment:
Prof Edwards is by far my favorite prof at GV. This class was excel heavy. As long as you followed along in class and wrote down notes, you'll do fine. The only downside to her is that she doesn't put homework grades in until the end of the semester. Other than that, I strongly recommend!

Wow... just wow. Horrible class, seriously take anything else. Maybe even change your major. Grades absolutely nothing and makes the exams as hard as she possibly can. Seriously trust me do not take this class. Every single exam was curved at least 20-30 points and it barely helped. Hands down worst class structure and worst prof Ive ever had.

Challenging course, but lectures were very clear and made understanding concepts a lot easier. Lots of homework and Prof is picky about how problems are solved on exams, so watch out for that.

Professor Edwards does know what she's doing and teaches the concepts well. But sometimes the homework has problems on it that we didn't go over. Also, she's super stingy about how problems are written out and solved on exams.

Exams are extremely hard, does not give a study guide. Expected to learn it all in a short six-week class. I wouldn't recommend taking her unless its your last option. She's very smart, but in terms of getting the information across, she's definitely below par. First exam was curved 40% and she got mad at the class for not knowing the material!!

Exams are extremely hard, does not give a study guide. Expected to know all of the HW, In class work, and the conceptual book information we don't discuss in class. First exam was curved over 40%, still blamed us students. Take someone else if possible unless you enjoy studying without direction! Are allowed 3x5 card, which is half the size needed.

She teaches the content very well and helps out with any questions. Only concern I have is that the final grade will not be what you expect. She doesn't make it clear how it's determined and the final points on blackboard do not reflect your grade at all. I went from an A on blackboard to a B on final grades in mybanner. Final grading is flawed.

Professor Edwards is one of the most caring professors I have ever had. She teaches the material well and makes sure to post video solutions online of things we cover in class so you can go back and review. The tests are pretty clear cut and she prepares you fairly well for them. Overall great professor :)

Pretty straight forward class, Prof. Edwards is knowledgeable and tries to make sure everyone understands the material. There's online homework almost every week that can be tough. There's an exam every 3-4 chapters and it's 6-7 problems; they're just like the stuff you do in class so if you pay attention, you should be able to do it no problem.

Professor Edwards is AMAZING! She is super organized, very caring, and wants you to understand the material! She only gives you a few "checks" on your connect homework in order to stop students from attempting homework for hours! Her tests aren't easy, but if you study and attend class, you'll do great! She is very knowledgeable and approachable!

Great teacher, she only gives one check on connect homework, so you really need to know your stuff. Tests are also pretty tough. You don't need the book, just the connect code. You need a graphing calculator. You do a couple projects that are relatively straight forward. Its a fun class but she grades pretty hard.

FIN 320 is a very challenging class overall, but Sue is a very caring professor who is very flexible with students and is genuinely interested in getting feedback and listening to students. She will always take the time to help you if you need it and if you go to class and pay attention to her lectures you will do just fine!

One of the better profs I've had at GVSU. She explains everything thourghouly, which is great for a class like FIN320, and won't ever hesitate to go over things again and again until students understand. Tests are fair and gives a good curve. If you put in effort and work for it, you'll do fine with Edwards.

2 tests + cumulative final. She modified the tests to 10 problems but they still take the full class time. Connect homework every week which got annoying because there were no hints/check your answer. If you put in the work though, its not hard to get high B low A. Dr. Edwards was so sweet and genuinely cared how her students did. Curved if needed.

She literally makes it impossible to get a good grade. -3 exams. 1st & 2nd exams are over 4-5 chapters and the last one is cumulative. -Homework/learnsmart every week -The exams are so long that you can't even finish the exam. 10 multiple choice (5 points each) & 10 problems that you have to work out (10 points each). -She doesn't curve

Comment:
Edwards is definitely smart and knows what she is talking about, but for FIN 320 that is sort of her downfall. She goes very fast through topics and thinks it should be easy to understand, but does not realize that the students are not grasping it fully. I understand there are only so many weeks, but she tends to go way too fast through material.

Dr. Edwards is a great professor, likely the best you're going to get for FIN320. Always show up to class to turn homework in, it helps your grade a lot--that & easy online quizzes. She kind of over-explains, which got confusing for me. I hate finance but she made it tolerable. Show up, pay attention, & go to tutoring. Be prepared to give your all.

Such a nice lady. Plus, she explains things very well and is very patient with her students. Going over things more than once doesn't bother her. Tests are no surprises: if you did all the homework and checked her solutions, you'll do just fine. Gives formula sheet for exams, too. Loved her.

Professor Edwards is definitely one of the better profs at GVSU. She's always willing to help and is extremely nice, especially if you visit her office hours. Exams are tough and are not multiple choice, but she is fair and gives a generous curve. The class is extremely straightforward, she gives no surprises at any time in the semester. Great prof
