does not teach proper material

Her tests are confusing because she spends more time telling us what losers we are and how rich she is that she gets off topic alot. If you take her, you will need to do alot of reading on your own.

She talks about anything but the subject matter. Her tests are opinionated, we have to figure out whose a bigger crook a car salesman or a loan officer..whats that about? Her assistants grade the test for her.....very slowly.

lots of mis-information

watch out she tells you chapters thats not going to be on the test!!!!

horrible professor in csi ever, avoid her. Given wrong direction for you to study mid term and final.

THE WORST!!! Makes such an easy class to be the hardest simply because she does not know how to teach!!! AVOID HER.

I don't understand people who leave a good feedback about her. Her class is a total waste of time, unless you want to learn about her life! She thinks she is so knowledgable, promises to teach you this and that but then does nothing except using a software to generate questions for midterm and final. Avoid.

The worst. If u have a choice, avoid. If you don't, buy test bank questions for her book and use it during exams this way u might get a B.

Avoid!!

Specifically came here to warn poor students who want an A, to avoid!!!! Worst professor in all my years at CSI. Way too much work and studying for such a simple class, and I usually don't mind putting in effort. Hate this professor with a passion. If you have to take her, try to find the test bank as that's where her tests come from.

Took her in the spring HUGE MISTAKE. She cannot teach at all just talks about her life so you will have to learn from the textbook. She has a tendency of giving the wrong chapters for a test. But the final is very hard cause it's cumulative & a whopping 50% of your grade. Fail that possible you fail the class. Doesn't curve either. PLEASE AVOID HER

avoid at all costs

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!! finals weighted 50%, quiz 20%, midterm 30%!! gives you a ton of homework and doesn't even count it!! but god forbid you dont have it when she RANDOMLY calls on you to answer a homework question, its the end of the world. mind you this is a 100 level class. She told me i was STUPID cause I wanted extra credit!!! AVOID!!!

Terrible professor overall, lectures were vague and got off topic most of the time. Very accomplished women but if you want to learn personal finance and not about her, this isn't the class for you. Don't make the same mistake I did, just keep scrolling.

How on earth is this professor still teaching here. Maybe at one time she amounted to something worth while. ( Like a broken record, she will remind you of the time she worked on Wall St.) What "Kay" lacks is any type of teaching skills. Her two exams are worth 50% each of your final grade. Steer clear of this one. Coming from an "A" student.

nice lady but her teaching is horrible, it does not prepare us for whats to come on the exam. Me and the 2 girls next to me both got low grades on the midterm after studying every single topic and just confused. deff don't reccomend

The last thing I would want to do is discredit a teacher with presumably decades of experience, but I couldn't be more disappointed by her teaching. I've suffered through a semester with bad teachers in the past, but this one takes the cake. She dances around the course material while telling stories of her old life & provides 0 feedback. Stay away

Pros of this Professor: she is kind, sweet, and full of heart Cons of this Professor: Her teaching skills are poor She talks to much about her life Due to COVID I had her online It took her 6 weeks to set up a zoom meeting Her husband passed so she is not all there. If you have a choice, pick someone else. You'll will not have fun here.

Very nice and caring but does not know the first thing about online classes. I emailed her multiple times about my stance in the class until she finally answered the day before the final that she never received any of my work, papers, or midterm. I wouldn't recommend but its an easy A as long as she finds your work in her email. Unprofessional

cannot set up an online class. no other professors or classes have an issue. just use bb colaborate ultra plz.

In the same semester I got an "A" in FNC360 Investment Analysis, and a "F" in her class International Finance. How this happen? There are 3 tests and a paper worth 20 points. I got 93 in first test, I did the paper, I went to every session, and she lost the test papers for the 2nd and 3rd test. She doesn't care. She should never be a professor.

Always put on a fake smile. Worst professor ever, if you really want to learn something, avoid her at all cost.

Missed classes. Ended early. Could not teach. Hard wxams and paper. Works full time job and is in her 70s so does not put much effort into class/students

Missed classes. Could not set up an online class everyone coupd join until a month in into semester. Ended classes early, could not teach the material. Exams were brutal and had very little time. She works her full time job and is in her mid 70s , so she dont grade exams, paper, or just put any effort into course.

In the rare event that she showed up to class, she struggled teaching. Missed some meetings. Ended early. Could not teach the material. Had trouble with online, she is too old. Her mic and connection were bad all semester and nobody could hear 1 word. Works her full time job and didnt seem to pay any attention to the class. Felt like no professor.

I was super exited to learn about international finance and currencies, something different than the rest of my classes. Unfortunately, thanks to Prof. Pesile, this excitement soon turned to a migraine and stress. She missed 4 classes on a class that met one a week, and never responded to the 10 emails I sent, and gave me a WU with 0 explanation.

She lacked energy and did not properly teach the information. She just tells stories from her career that have nothing to do with the material and her exams are extremely long and difficult. Meanwhile her professional experience isn't useful at all because how much the world has changed since the 20th century. Major L Professor.

terrible teacher in the rare event she even decides to show up for class. Schedules doctors appointments during class time bc she don't wanna waste her professional career time . Major L.

terrible

horrible

worst professor i ever had BY FAR

her dog wouldn't stop barking in background couldn't hear anything all semester

spent 80% of class time talking about pre-1980s and the other 20% about how great her husband WAS.

look s likely one of the umpa lumpas from Willie Wonka.

run far away. Trust me.

will not learn a single thing under her i promise

she ruined my whole class's confidence by saying only MBAs from Wharton are successful.

One word to describe this teacher. Karen

Did everyone actually fail the class?

This professor is by far the worst one I've ever taken. She gave me a WU grade even though I took both midterm and the final and was present in class everyday. I emailed and texted her several times and yet she never answered, please avoid taking kathleen peslie... PLEASE

Terrible grader. Aced everything and she still gave me a C+. Lectures make you want to fall asleep. Do not take her.

She was not able to convey the material. All she did was talk about 1980s because she's like 78 years old and obese. Don't worry, she'll be dead in less than 5 years .

Terrible teacher. Do NOT take if you want a good grade. You can do everything right and she will still give you a C+.
