Professor Callahan did not hold my attention in this course. She made me feel uncomfortable and gave off an unapproachable and cold vibe.

Too much work. Grading rubric insane midterm and final 45 % of grade. Grades very critically. Would not recommend taking. Out of all courses taken this was the worst. Finance is great but do not take professor Callahan.

She is not a teacher this is a control FREAK. Her welcoming comments create a persona completely opposite of her true self. If you ask for her help you will feel like you just got in a fight with a wall, after the first time you would rather slit your wrist than ask for her help again. Yes, its that bad. DO NOT TAKE CLASSES FROM THIS PROFESSOR.

Grammar seemed to be the most important aspect of her class. Sent out email belittling the class for not meeting her standards in grammar. This is a Finance class, not an English class. Not approachable. Do not recommend!!! Hours and hours of homework.

Hands down the worse class I've taken at Edison. She belittles you for asking questions or being slightly off on your grammer. You will spend more time trying to get all the work she assigns done than actually learning anything. She should'nt be a college professor.

Professor Callahan does not teach or instruct in any way. She is not constructive in any way, instead she belittles you. She should teach an English class, because that is all she seems to care about. She is the absolute worst professor I have ever had. She will spend her days nitpicking your grammar, not teaching you anything related to finance.

Professor Callahan belittles you online, she is ridiculous where grammar is concerned; she should teach English. I would never recommend her to anyone. she makes you feel like you are dumb and can't comprehend. Horrible professor.

This was the hardest class I've ever taken. All she cares about is APA format and required tons of selfies doing the work which was such a hassle. I not only fell behind within the first week which she let the entire class know but I failed with the crazy amount of work she required. It was completely unrealistic and such a disappointment.

Doesn't deliver easy-to-comprehend lectures. Expectations are unreasonable. Gave tests that were not dependable & didn't seem to care! Grammar crazy, yet her online class needs to be edited. Unhelpful. Depends on pre-written & pre-recorded material that's poorly personalized & over-complicated. The syllabus doesn't get updated, it's only a "guide".

This professor forgets that she is teaching a Finance class - Not another Comp class. Cares way too much about APA format for comprehension question assignments and says this is the most important part of being successful. Midterm and final are 40% of the class grade. Would not recommend but stuck with this professor if you need this class.

This professor cares more about your writing skills than she does the content of your papers!!! You better know APA like the back of your hand or else your grade will drop so low, so fast. Sadly, she is the only finance professor at FSW so you have to take her regardless...

Extremely tough grader, and just overall not a good professor. If you get one thing wrong, she just gives you a 0 on the assignment and tells you to resubmit by another deadline. Very nit picky when it comes to writing. Make sure you are ready to be exact on your APA.

Probably the most difficult class I've taken. There is an extreme workload, even though it was a full term class (5 assignments a week). She cares more about APA than actual content of papers. The grade book is also very confusing.

If you have the chance to take ANY other professor at FSW, take them instead!!!!!!! Callahan overcomplicates everything and treats everyone like children. So stressful for literally no reason. Unfortunately she is the only professor that teaches FIN3400, so if you're in the BAS program--good luck.

I am in my last semester of my Bachelor's in supervision and management here at FSW. Professor Callahan is the worst professor I've had yet. Her policies on proctorio are so strenuous that she hurts good and honest students more than she prevents cheating. Got a 100% on the final? doesn't matter because your room scan was slightly too fast.

This class is ridiculous! The amount of work given doesn't matter because the test are weighed so heavily. No reviews, 5-6 assignments due a week, just to fail because the test are so hard and the proctoring is so INTENSE. By far my worse class ever, and I need this class to graduate and this is my last year. I will be taking this course again!

The most ridiculous class ever taken. The amount of work given is unnecessary 5-6 assignments a week. Says u should be spending 8-12 hrs on her class a week. Tests are proctored & requirements for them are extreme. Doesn't communicate with u effectively, copy & paste her original assignment posts into emails when asked a question as if u cant read

You are not allowed access to your test results, so therefore you cannot gauge where you need to study for the final exam which hinders "actual" learning to protect against "potential" cheating, which make no sense because you could screenshot or take a pictures of every question if you wanted to. By far the worst professor I have taken!!!!!!!!!

2 words..STEER AWAY! The name Alisa Callahan will forever be burned in my brain. She is absolutely the worst! "Heavy homework" is an understatement. & expect any Zoom lectures to not review material but her spending time talking about herself. It takes a lot to get under my skin but boy she takes the cake. Don't bother trying to get a hold of her.

This is the only professor who teaches this subject, so I was forced to take them. I do NOT like the way this class is structured at all. There are way too much homework assignments and they are all extremely lengthy and difficult to do. Super strict when it comes to APA format- even on assignments where it doesnt belong. VERY VERY TOUGH GRADER.

I was given this professor for this class as there was no other options, and I highly do not recommend. This professor has good intentions but uses them for the wrong things. The proctorio proctoring is so strict and grading is heavy as any minor bad grade will set you back traumatically. A Karen in her truest form.

If you don't have time to read 20 emails on each assignment, with examples word for word of what she wants, don't bother taking the class. She tells you exactly what she wants and if you don't give it to her, your grade will show it. Micromanage to the extreme.

Professor Callahan was one of, if not, the worst professor I have ever encountered with. She says she tries hard to respond back to her students, but when you email her at 10 am or 2 pm, she won't respond until minutes before the assignment is due. Only values her time, not yours. She doesn't care what you're doing, as long as it fits her schedule.

I tried to have hope after reading the reviews here that maybe she's not too bad. NOPE. She grades HARD. and TONS of homework. If you repeat a mistake in APA format, she'll dock half points off, which has nothing to do with the actually class material. She is currently the only professor that teaches this class, so good luck! Do the xtra credit!!!!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESOR! She jumps from Chapter 1-3 (which btw she doesn't let you use a calculator for) to Chapters 11, 16 and 17! She gives no time to ease into the difficult math, just throws you into complex problems. SO MUCH HOMEWORK! She proctors your first test and final. Must receive a 50% or higher to pass class, if not you fail.

By far one of the worst professors I've ever had at this school. She gives anywhere from 15-20 assignments a week all with the expectation of it taking 5-8 hours an assignment. She will email you 4-6 times a day about nothing. I 100% recommend not taking her and waiting for another professor to come up.

She grades Heavy.If the proctored video is not up to her standards she marks it 0, She gives tons of home work... and she is the only professor that teaches the course smh

This was the hardest class I have ever taken. The professor is very strict when it comes to proctorio (this was the hardest part for me). She will give you a zero if you aren't perfect. The only reason I passed this class was because of the extra credit. If you do all of the extra credit, you will pass.

Callahan is by far the worst teacher. The midterm and final are proctored and count for 40% of your grade. She has very strict rules about camera setup and has no problem failing you if the angle is slightly off. She is very strict on grammar, but only what she believes is right (which constantly changes), not what is proper grammar.

I wish this class was less intense. There is so much to read and digest that even the Prof skipped chapters! It's too much! If you're not mathematically inclined, you're going to struggle. I understand the need for a lot of HW for practice, but the proctored exams are unnecessary. You have to pass the practice midterm w/ a 70 to take the real test.

Taught from a Canadian textbook, PP slides have multiple eras, and when told does not fix, proctor rules are insane, practice test mandatory pass of 70% before taking final exam, does not answer questions directly but rather shifts to her own narrative to avoid answering questions, condescending when students ask to explain equations.

Worst teacher ever, if you can avoid her do it. She answers your questions with questions, she is unclear, she makes learning impossible. Highly unhelpful & cocky. I'm coming to believe that she enjoys watching her students suffer under the guise of saying she hopes for a “well-rounded” learning environment. Avoid at all costs.

By far my most unliked professor. She should retire. Her unnecessary requirements for taking exams are ridiculous. It's unfortunate that she is the only professor available to take FIN 3400. Doesn't matter if you're passing the course, if she feels like you breathed wrong the PRACTICE exam before the ACTUAL exam your grade tanks.

The weights for grading are tough. Tests hold a higher value than anything else. If you are not a good test taker you have been warned. She's really weird about camera angles for tests. I had run out and buy a tripod and webcam last minute and she still complained about it. Her messages and feedback are a mile long. avoid if possible.

If there is another class take it!

First off I would give this teacher a zero star if I could. The only good thing she allows is extra credit options. She is a very rude individual and not very kind. When you ask questions about the course, she gets upset with you and makes you feel stupid. She invalidates test scores and says that's her least favorite thing. I think she enjoys it.

Do not take this professor! I had to take her class because she's the only professor who teaches this course. She's rude and always threatening to give zeros. She grades really hard. She offers Zoom meetings to review, but they have nothing to do with the chapters. Horrible!!
