  • Midterm and final are all done online, with no part marks given which sucks. Professors expect you to know the content before coming to class, and then do practice problems in class.

  • Took it with William McNally. Terrible course for people not interested in finance. Practice problems don't prepare you for tested content. Don't worry though, because there's a 13-17% curve that is applied to everyone's final grade (almost as if McNally knows his exams are unreasonable, but would rather curve than write a reasonable exam).
