Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Prof Albert was great, lectures were not mandatory but extremely helpful in understanding the concepts. Homework isn't long, but can be challenging. There is no final, and inclass exams, which are easy as long as you are able to understand the basic fundamentals of the course concepts. The final group project is annoying, but doable.

Professor Albert was a good professor who clearly cared about her students and was knowledgeable about course content. Furthermore she actively sought students opinions about course topics and added suggested material in personal finance. She also added helpful practice tests before actual tests. Some homework can be tough though.
