Comment:
She rambles the entire lecture about random problems that we hadn't even learned yet. I paid TTU for me to have to learn everything via YouTube. Her tests are so ridiculous she has to give outrageous curves so people can even pass. I have 2 classes left to get my finance degree and haven't bc of her

Comment:
Pashley was my advisor and the reason I changed my degree to economics. She told me I could take 2 classes (one was a prerequisite) but then wouldn't override it so I could graduate on time so the semester of graduation I found out I would have to take ANOTHER semester for ONE class. She also LOST MY STUDENT FILE. A true nightmare.

Mary Pashley is in the top 3 of my worst professors of all time. Her lectures are very example heavy yet they never relate to the material on an exam. You will be better off studying definitions and concepts instead of actually trying to understand what she lectures about. Book is a must and do all attempts on homework if you want to pass.

Do not take this class if possible. Reads directly off PowerPoint and very monotone. Didnt stand up one time during the lecture over the course of the entire semester.

I wouldnt recommended Pashley. She read off the slides every single day and attendance is mandatory. Her exams are half multiple choice and half true and false. You wont know what is on it so studying is difficult. Take a different professor.

Her attendance is mandatory, and that is the worst part of the class. She printed out the notes and then read them to us; it was difficult to sit through. You also have no idea what is going to be on the exams, so good luck with that.

Comment:
This teacher was terrible. I took the class as an elective because I was trying to learn more about personal finance and being an adult. She will literally just read from the book, and talk about her life. She will start doing problems without explaining anything and expects you to just know. Attendance is 10% of your grade as well.

She went through problems every day and did not teach how to do them. She expected us to already know how to do everything. We spent the first month, 30 mins of class talking about the homework system and how it wasn't working. She is however understanding and has to give curves. 1st test curve was 15 points 2nd test was 25. Good Luck....

Dr. Pashley is actually a great professor if you aren't lazy. She makes it very clear what is expected of students at the start of the semester. If you keep a list of her study problems and the handouts and use those to study you will get a great grade on the text. Tries to fit too much into a class but better than not covering the materiel.

Her class is boring, she is hard to understand, she isn't organized, always showed up to class at least 10 minutes late, and there isn't many grades.. The only plus this woman has is that she gives curves on her test and thats because the average score is a 40. DO NOT TAKE HER. I am a finance major and I almost hate it because of her.

It is the most boring class i have ever taken, if you want to get a B go ahead and take her. You can be in your laptop the whole class she does not care. If you want an A go take another course. Horrible professor

Pashley is honestly the most annoying teacher I've had. Can't stand her weird voices or tangent stories that are painful to listen to, as she reads the power points day in and day out. Could be a gen ed, "bonus if you come" type class, but instead you have to go in and try not to doze off. Try to take someone else if possible.

Her exams are mostly true and false with very few multiple choice. She was super hard to understand, and I didn't understand anything. She made the class unnecessarily hard. She also tends to go off on a tangent most of the time, so students tend to take advantage of that. Make sure to read the book and take notes. Overall, very hard so good luck.

She acts like she really knows the material but I got the feeling she didn't at all. She doesn't answer questions and she's hard to understand. She's not very helpful outside of class.

The most boring professor I have ever had! All she does is read from the PowerPoint slides for 80 minutes everyday.

Oh lord... She is very monotone and rambles on about random stories that do not really matter.... She does allow an index card but I still only managed to receive a B... She will only read the powerpoints which I could do myself but she counts attendance so you basically have to go.

Another example of "what not to do as a teacher." All she does is read the PowerPoint notes to the students. A 15 minute process is extended to 80 thanks to her endless supply of tangent stories. It's all I can do to avoid falling asleep in that class.
