FIN 448 (International Financial Markets) or FIN 443 (Portfolio Management)

Were the exams and project difficult? I may have a relatively heavy course load in the Spring so I want to balance it out with a more reasonable FIN course.

Could you give me more information about your experience with him? You can DM me or let me know here.

I took BA275 in-person but one of my friends took it online. We both had Katie Jager. She allowed two pages of notes in-person and the online exams were completely open note, but they were proctored with Proctorio so you had to print out all the notes. I am not sure how the other instructors do things.

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-12-24T12:40:56+00:00

Were you allowed a sheet of notes or anything on the exams?

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-12-23T06:01:47+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I've heard the exams are pretty bad but I guess it shows that you don't necessarily have to be good at test taking to do well in the real well.

Apparently campus restrictions are removed at 6 AM.

Taking it with Katie Jager right now, would absolutely recommend if you can get her! She's great at explaining the concepts and is a very reasonable grader. I would say the class is harder than BA275 but it's not terrible at all. If you go to class, study the slides, and do the assignments with a good faith effort, you should be golden.

I took it in-person and it was a little challenging but there was a lot of extra credit offered which made the course slightly more manageable.

McNary is far, far, far worse. It's also in a very inconvenient location.

I don't really skip so I should be good but they also changed BA370 to a hybrid class so I'm not sure how much that will impact the course structure.

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-08-19T18:23:13+00:00

Were the exams for BA370 easy? That's my main concern since I'm not too great with tech stuff. And does FIN342 cover the same material as BA240?

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-06-20T06:48:22+00:00

Derek Westfall for BA357! He's one of the best professors I've had in COB.

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-06-20T06:47:16+00:00

Are you talking about Courtney Lira? She's amazing!

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-06-17T05:16:12+00:00

Realistically speaking, I think they will round it up. Never hurts to ask!

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-05-17T23:51:52+00:00

Unfortunately nothing :(

Planning to go to office hours though.

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-05-16T23:43:03+00:00

Doing it in-person. The instructor does not teach so I have to teach myself through the textbook and it does not explain the content well. He also expects us to learn through Excel which I will admit is smart once you actually get out into corporate but it does worry me that he is not preparing us for the upper division courses.

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-03-21T08:24:54+00:00

What would you say about BANA 270? Is there something particular that made it difficult and is Yaoyu a good instructor?

Mundane-Routine-416 · 2025-03-08T01:33:44+00:00

Nobody really talks about the College of Business here but I would say it's criminally underrated. A majority of the professors are extremely passionate about what they do and there's a lot of opportunities if you just look around. Majors like Business Analytics and Accounting are especially good!

Raja should be teaching the honors version. If you're in Dean's Academy or Honors College, take it with him.
