Very helpful. Is always available for any student anytime! Just go over material and practice. Would take her again or for any other class!

I feel so lucky that I had her as my professor I learned a lot from her and she really cares about her student. Highly recommended! I would also take another class with her again -

Very helpful, caring, approachable. Respects all her students and goes out of the way to make sure they are comfortable with the concepts. Highly recommended!!!!

Taking Prof. Rana is the easiest way to get an A in Finance. I took this class with another professor and Failed. With Prof. Rana I got an A. Her class average is a B which is higher then any other FIN3000 professor out there.

She is a decent professor. She makes the effort to explain things if you need it. Just read the book before class and you should get an A. She is a sweet woman, but don't piss her off.

Put terms on tests which was never mention in class!!!

she is all over the place but if you have any questions, she'll help you. she will do anythign and everything to help you out. she can be confusing but generally good. tests are easy if you read the book and study what she tells you. KNOW CONCEPTS and you'll do fine

exremely helful even in the exams, but the exams are killer which she always tells from the first day. just got the result and average score is around 70. u have to work hard to get good grade but she is very nice and helpful. heard that she will curve at the end of the semester. some HWs which can be handed in on the FInal exam day as well.no rush

she not only encouraged me to study harder but gave me a life long lesson of not giving up and to believe in myself. I got 58/100 in MD1 and by final I scored an A-. all because of her help& encouragement. exams are tough, but if you know the concept you will be fine. she focus on imp points way too much and thats what comes in exams..Best!!!

ALRIGHT CUT IT OUT PEOPLE.WHOEVER WROTE HORRIBLE ABOUT HER, PROBABLY DOES'NT EVEN KNOW HOW TO STUDY,WORK HARD AND EARN THE GRADE.SHE DOES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP THE STUDENTS.YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK HER.SHE TOLD FROM DAY1,THAT EXAMS CAN BE TOUGH.READING THE BOOK AND PRACTISING THE PROBLEMS IS MUST.&CHECK YOUR ENGLISH BEFORE SAYING STUPID ABT HER

she is tough but friendly. tells clearly from day one that hardwork is required to get a good grade. answers email in odd hours, helps during the exam. stays after office hours.. what else can you ask from a teacher. but dont make her angry. exams are tough if you have not read the book. Take her if you have a little bit drive to work hard.

She is okay. Three exams20%,20%,40%. 1 presentation(10%), attendance(10%) First and second are easy(Do the practice questions, read the book twice)Final is a little bit harder.Exams format: 20 multiple choices questions(10 conceptual questions are tough and other 10 math problems are easy) and 2 more calculation problems need to show process.

guys, so far so good she is not such a bad Prof. fin 3000 is a hard course no matter who you take it with. I will advise you to read each studied chapter2-3 times, practice as often as you can, go through her practice sheet, thats how you can pass. Her exams are very hard trust me. this is one way you can succed in the course

Agree with the comments below.I would recommend to take this professor. In comparison to other finance professors who are teaching at Baruch, she is pretty easy. Study hard, listen well and you will get an A as I did.

She is very nice prof and knows how to teach.. but she does follow the department guideline and give a lot of C's and C+'s..

She is not bad, and teaches in a nice way, but the grading does not seem to be fair. I was definetely heading towards the A (96 and 97 on the two midterms), and I think I did really well on the final, but she gave me a B+... And she never responded to the email about what was my grade for the final exam. She really follows the "C average" rule!

One of the best finance professors at Baruch. She likes to throw in some tricks, but will let you know beforehand. Go to class, read the book and practice the study guide q's. Come prepared because she will put you on the spot. No HW, two midterms, a group project, and a final. She's extremely helpful inside and outside of class for career advice

ok. she is not that bad but, u really need to study for the exam. read the text! that's the best way to avoid her trick on the exam. she puts some bogus info on the exam question just to trick you and i also heard she really follows department grading policies. that means only 1 or 2 people will get A in her class. good luck with that!

I can understand how others feel. I did good but I worked hard. The calculations are easy at beginning of exam; straightforward. It is the conceptual and 20 point questions that get you. I found her samples extremely helpful. Yes you can not take this class lightly. People say bogus stuff on exam? I found it all relevant though to be honest.

i wont say she's a bad teacher. she reiterates whats in the textbook, which you should definitely read thoroughly cuz her accent is very thick. the problem is, she goes over countless calculation problems, as does the textbook, but then the exam is multiple choice concept based. you have zero prep for these problems so you're pretty much screwed.

Decent professor but a tough grader. Prefers hard working students. Results from first exam will shock you into working harder. My advice: study the book and do ALL of the end chapter questions. Conceptual questions on the exam will be the toughest. For the 20 Pt questions, read VERY carefully. Good luck! I recommend her because she's helpful.

Sometimes she's really good, and other days she's really bad and you can tell she hasn't prepared the lecture. Often seems like she doesn't want to be there or her head is somewhere else. Rushed us into a project (gave us 2 weeks. Exams are hard, but fair. She's not the best and not the worst.

She is AMAZING. I LOVE FINANCE BECAUSE OF HER. IF YOU DONT STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL THAT'S NOT HER FAULT.

20% Midterm 20% Midterm 40% Final 10% Presentation 10% HW&Attendance. Review questions and the test are 180 degrees different. Midterm & Final are 20 multiple choice ques and 2 Short Answer ques. Super hard course. You'll never get A unless you're genius.

Attend all of her classes and take notes of what she writes down (mathematical) and what she reads off of the slides (conceptual).Use them to make a nice 1 page sheet for the exam.Textbook is not needed but is recommended. Exams are 20 Multiple choice (60 pts)and 2/4 math questions(40 pts).Group presentation are easy.Take her trust me. B+ reachable

I am taking her course right now. Material is ok.. as long as you read the textbook. She does not use slides, which I think makes her work much harder but better for students. She does problems in the class. I would say her exams are slightly tricky but there is space to improve and she does curves. I think its a good choice to take this class.

This is definitely not the easiest class, but professor Rana makes every effort to translate complex concepts into understandable terms. The two midterms were quite reasonable and the final was satisfyingly challenging. Don't know my grade yet, but pretty sure I wouldn't change my rating no matter what. Take her.

just took the final today, easier than expected. but i did study a lot for the class. awesome professor, gotta attend class because some of the stuff on the test are not from the text directly but from her lecture. She's very helpful and understanding, always hold extra office hours for students. take her!!!!

The best finance professor hands down! She teaches by writing on the board instead of using slides, which is extremely helpful. I suggest that you read the book before going to lectures because it goes hand to hand with the examples she does in class.I'd still take her even if i got a bad grade because I'm actually learning and enjoying the class.

saying your brain hurts is not an excuse in this class. drink your morning coffee and pay attention. let her finish her thoughts before you ask questions. pay attention to chapters 5&6 and 9&10&14. if you don't you are screwed. recorded presentation, so make sure you're in a good group. NOT a waste of a weekend morning class. it is worth it

I understand why there are many bad gradings as this course is mad tough. She is not bad the way others say. Its unfair to her. I have learned a lot from her. She has stayed after class just so she can help me. I worked hard I followed what she told me. Its a big class and lot of students distract her.follow her advice. It will help!!

Stay Away from her.Trust me i worked hard for this course but i landed up with a lowest grade.She lacks the ability to teach.Her practise set for exams are totally opposite of exams.If u take her class then be prepared to study on ur own.Best of Luck.

Prof Rana is really nice and caring of her students. She doesn't use ppt but more so the old fashioned way of writing on the board during lectures which keeps people attentive. She does better in smaller classes than big but the course itself is hard w/anyone. She teaches in simple terms for us to understand however the tests vocab is complicated.

Prof. Rana's exams are tough but she cares a lot. She explains in simple words. Read the book and take notes during the class. Hold extra office hours. One has to work hard in this course. I got only B but I learned a lot from her. I will take her again because she pushes to learn. Her exams tests the understanding. Lot of multiple choice

Prof Rana is the best professor I have had ever. She puts everything into teaching. She uses board vs. using slides and that makes her work very hard but she explains in simple language.Yes her tests are tough but it is a tough course and she tests on what she teaches.I have never cared for any course the way i do for this only because of Prof Rana

2 midterms, 1 final, group presentation & homework.read the book before the class, listen to lectures. take notes. She is very clear to tell main points during her lectures. And if you decide not to follow any of the above then please keep your mouth shut as others like me want to learn and there are some who just complain and mean and waste time.

I can't say why so many bad ratings but I liked the way she taught. It is guaranteed she is not the easiest professor but she really want us to learn. Isn't that the reason why we are going to college? And she stays after class to help students who want to learn.

She is a great and knowledgeable professor. All the bad comments are from students who are just lazy and are trying to get a good grade without putting any effort. This is not an easy class in general, so you need to read the textbook before coming into class. It's not just about showing up and having things laid out on a silver plate.

OMG SO LIKE SHES SO GOOD OMG OMG OMG

Bro take her if you know whats good for you. Then again... you might not know whats good for you...

She will break you if your head isn't in the game, but if you put in the time she makes the material incredibly worthwhile. I signed up for the class resentful at having to take it and left regretting I didn't choose finance as a minor. Absolutely choose Rana if you can handle a heavy course-load and are an independent learner.

My easiest class this semester. Giving her top point to balance the recent negative grades. Yes, I taught myself, I didn't care about her lectures, but her exams were absolutely fair and consistent with the text. Got 97 on both first exams without paying any attention on what she said in class. The final was easy, too. But the grade is not up yet.

Prof is very helpful and wants students to learn on their own to certain point, which is really good way to make student actually study because these students who commented about her are totally unreasonable, these students have never studied, She teaches everything and especially wants students to conceptualize the subject matter,People take her!
