This professor makes me question how Pace selects professors. Didn't provide notes, just videos. Expected us to put 20 hours plus on our own time, tests are nothing like the homework or vids, doesnt care if you have other things going on. IDK how she grades test, its not clear. Blackboard may say you are getting an A but will give a C?? NEVER TAKE

Do not take any of her classes especially the online ones. She is mean. She doesn't even teach anything but post a bunch of slides on blackboard. She doesn't give students any chances to improve grades. Worst porfessor I have ever met at Pace.

Not a difficult course as the material taught is built upon basic finance concepts that you should already be familiar with. Explains topics very clearly with examples. 4 quizzes, 1 individual 5 min pres., 1 group pres. & paper, 1 in-class midterm. Review slides & take detailed notes during class. Put some effort & you will pass. Book not needed.

one of the best professors at pace. Very clear about what she expects from you and she teaches the material very well. Makes a difficult subject extremely easy, don't waste your money buying the textbook she doesn't teach out of it at all. Her test are EXACTLY what she teaches in class so theres no guessing.

At first I was doubtful. 3 exams, 4 quizzes(drops lowest quiz grade), and 1 group project. Each were less than five questions and provided clear directions. 2 points off for every class you miss!! You have to work to get a good grade, but she is extremely helpful. Give her a chance and study the notes before quizzes and exams.

She is by far the best professor I have ever taken. She makes you work for it no doubt but when I went for other classes the following semester. I had an edge over other kids because I had her. Helped me build a strong foundation. She is helpful during office hours. She will meet you before exams and clarify any questions. Has amazing structure.

Probably the most arrogant and stuck up teacher I've ever met. She doesn't care about her students, she treats college seniors as if they are 8th graders. Too stuck up, I dare you to count the amount of times she mentions her "PhD".

Excellent professor. She makes the subject interesting and clear. She is very good at explaining things that seems awfully complicated. By the time she is done - its so easy. She is very fair in grading, her demands and treats students with respect. You do have to work hard in the class and pay attention to pass this class.

Great professor. I would recommend taking her. She gave quizzes every other week, but they helped a lot in preparation for exams (forcing me to review weekly). She is very straight forward and clear. She provides most of the formulas for exams. There were 2 exams and 2 small projects along with the quizzes every other week.

Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, I loved the class, although you have to work in order to get a good grade but it worth it, she is very clear with the material, there are about 7 or 8 15 min quizzes, midterm and final.I highly recommend this professor.

She makes you earn your grade. If you guys don't want to learn anything or want a class that is easy, take someone else. This is college so don't complain that she gives a lot of work. Other schools give a way bigger workload. Crystal clear about what she wants, and curves a lot. Want students to do well. Learned a lot and got an A-.

She is a professor that wants a lot from her students and tries to get the best out of them. She is very clear about what she wants from her students. The class is not easy but I guarantee if you put in a decent amount of time to study, maybe reading the chapters and looking over class problems for 2-3 hours a week, that you will do great!

I can't imagine how desperate a university has to be to hire someone like this woman. Or what she must have done to some desperate chairman to hire her.

I can't believe that a finance course at a school in the Wall Street area could possibly be so awful. She seems to be something that the cat dragged in.
