Maureen is a solid choice for 323. Does a great job at breaking finance down & helping students out. You have Connect HW (10 Q's) allows multiple attempts. Attend FIN Club every week for extra credit! Trust me, attending was worth it when it came to our final grade. Plus she buys Papa John's every meeting. Exams are HARD. Form a study group to pass

You have to do the practices and really put effort into this class. Theres extra credit if you attend the finance club meetings. Really good at explaining the material. Drops the lowest exam n weighs the final heavier

She is DEFINITELY one of my favorite and best teachers at ODU, hands down. She's freaking hilarious. Go to class every day bc she takes attendance, but also bc you'll enjoy it! She always gives homework hints for Connect, and the hw is really easy. Take good notes, review the problems and look over the vocab before every test and you'll do fine!

Isn't very nice. I had a personal emergency and she was the only professor to not be accommodating. She takes attendance before class begins to start the lecture on time, but this means if you aren't EARLY you are late.

She was the best professor Ive ever had at ODU. She is a very passionate teacher and truly wants her students to succeed. Her tests follow the study guide. 3 finals and a cumulative final. There is a 10 page stock analysis paper, but she is a very fair grader. Make sure you take/study class discussion notes, they were on each test and the final.

I took her for 323 as well as 431. She is probably one of the best teachers I've had at ODU. She really cares about her students and will work with you if you're struggling. Extra credit for attending finance meetings. 431 tests are not multiple choice but just like HW. Tells you exactly what is on final. Overall amazing professor, highly recommend

Great Professor that really wants you to succeed. 3 tests and cumulative final. Material isn't easy. You must master and genuinely understand it to pass the tests. I highly recommend doing the optional book problems/connect practice before classes. HW is an easy A. Extra credit for going to finance club meetings. Grade on final replaces lowest test

she gives 3 test & a final, all are M/C BUT are very hard!! she tells you to study connect but her test questions aren't even close to the problems you do on connect. She does offer extra credit that goes towards your homework grade. She also takes attendance every class. I only used the text book before the exams, so a max of 4 times

Prof Stiner is hands down the best Finance professor I've taken at ODU. Yes, the material is hard. However an A or B is easily attainable if you pay attention to her hw hints that she gives in class and prepare in advance for tests. She also offers 25 extra credit points for every finance club meeting you attend. Will be taking her 431 course!

Great teacher, somewhat easy class. You have to know the definitions and connect problems and you will get good grades. Go to class and pay attention, cumulative final is difficult and all encompassing. If i had to take other finance courses besides 331, I would have taken her again.

Go to her finance club meetings. Saved me this semester. Material is rough... Especially at 8am. Show up at 8:01 and you are absent and will lose points/drop letter grades over it. I would take again... But that God I don't have to. Practice connect homework until you can do it in your sleep. Final is cumulative and awful, just don't cram.

I'm taking 18 credits and an A in her class is possible. She's hard but it's because she actually wants you to learn and understand the materials. Goes over HW in great details and all exams are similar to HW. First exam can be hard but make sure you review the accounting sheet she provided. Great professor!

This is a hard class, she's a great teacher though. I struggled on the first test but after using all of her study hints I aced this second exam and got a B on the third. Use all the resources in this class including office hours and you should do fine. She's always willing to help.

For a class that only uses basic algebra, I find it more challenging than Calc 2. The class is hard, but the professor really knows what she is talking about. I find the class harder than it needed to be but other classmates think it's average. She offers extra credit for FIN meetings, lots of homework, exams are tricky. Dont miss class.

This was the hardest class I have taken since Anatomy. This is a class where you NEED to study and do the homework or you will fail. 3 tests and 1 final. She will drop your lowest test grade out of the first three tests if your final is higher than any of the previous tests. Many people fail this class. Average teacher, really hard class.

She is nice, but teaches way to fast for you to grasp the material. Test are completely different from connect homework. Make sure you go to class or you will fail terribly. Hard class, but offers extra credit for attending Finance club meetings.

Really nice, and she knows what she's talking about. Don't even think about skipping class though, or you're doomed to fail. As long as you show some effort, she will help you out.

I wish I could take her for my final 3 finance courses before I graduate this next spring. People who have nothing nice to say either don't understand the material or aren't putting enough effort to understand it. I'll look back one day and speak just as highly of her. Had her for FIN 323 too
