4 words PSYCHO **** FROM HELL. If you didnt get it the first time dont bother asking she'll tear you a new one.

If you ain't white don't take her!!! If you don't understand something...forget it don't ask! She will eat you alive.

I had very bad experiences with her.She was very mean prof I've ever known.She expected a lot from the students.You have to know very well and clear the accounting stuff(no kidding)you've learned before,and you have to be good at math.A lot of homework.You will die if you take her.I would not recome

The worst instructor ever. Her curve is set so low however that should be telling her that she's obviously not teach right. All her daily quizzes have almost no relevance to the hw she assigns to "prepare" you for them. Not understanding at all and very rude. In previous accounting courses i got A's and Im on my way to failing her course.

Definitely worst teacher ever. She teaches in reverse. Read the chapter yourself, then get quizzed on the homework. Quiz problems have nothing to do with the homework assigned. She then lectures and tells you what she wants to know after you have been quizzed. Total class average in both sections was 60%, if not for the giant curve all would fail.

Knowledgeable but forgets we are there to learn. Her way of teaching is reverse sometimes students wont understand the material by reading the chapter but yet,you'll get quiz on it during class. Quiz and segment tests are tricky,yes they are multiple choice but they are difficult. Overall grades should tell her something, change her way of teaching

She is super smart and definitely has the experience/ knows exactly what she's talking about, but DOES NOT TEST YOU ON MATERIAL SHE TELLS YOU TO STUDY FOR. The overall average of my class right now is a 50% and even though she curves the class giving everyone a C, making it almost impossible to get a good grade in the class.

Bad and condescending, find another finance teacher.

Basically she's one of the professors that do weekly quizzes that are unfairly timed (which leads to stress). She is also the type to quiz first, then lecture about it; an annoying strategy that only wastes time compared to the traditional teaching style of lecture THEN quiz/HW.

She expects her students to do homework and a quiz which is her way of preparing for class and it is not helpful at all when you are struggling with the homework and she is not helpful at all. She teaches really fast and there is about two quizzes each week! You have to complete 4big assignments outside of class which requires 3-4 hours to complete

She teaches her class in a reverse way were you have to complete the homework on the new lesson she will teach the next day and expects you to learn it by yourself and when it comes to her lecture it's very brief. She talks too fast and she's a tough grader on open-ended quiz questions. Now its too late to drop her class.

She makes you do extra assignments compared to the other Finance classes. Her extra assignments are Bloomberg where you need to sit down at a terminal in the business building and complete the course which takes 3-4 hours to complete 1 certificate, she requires 2. Another assignment is to attend a speaker event that ranges 2-5hrs plus a write-up.

Terrible professor and makes this class unnecessarily hard. Assigns homework of readings for EVERY class due midnight before she lectures on it. Course is based on 350 points and questions are VERY specific. Has speakers and REQUIRES students to prepare questions and them grades them on whether SHE thinks theyre good or not. Save yourself.

She gives and assigns quiz before every lecture and the quizzes are on new material you had to learn on your own before class. If you need help with your homework and you email her she is no help. All of her quizzes are 3 questions, so even if you get one wrong you still don't pass the quiz. She doesn't let you have a cheat sheet for your exams.

She isnt a hardworking teacher. Her lectures are disorganized, or they don't communicate the material clearly and she talks at length on subjects unrelated to the course like finance market. She comes across very demeaning and narrow minded. Do yourself a favor, find a more learned teacher.

By far the worse professor I have had at SJSU. Youll have quizzes assigned before class on material she hasnt lecture on. If you like self teaching this is the class for you. This class has a huge amount of mathematics and not once will she physically go over any equation with you step by step. Highly recommend another professor!

Grade to be determined based on curve (either -A or +B). Do NOT take her. The class consists of 4 finals + 1 cumulative exam + 2/3 question quizzes on the material before every class that is self-taught (difficult). Unnecessary other assignments and don't bother emailing her since she is very rude/condescending. Beware of mistakes too.

This is absolutely insane! Her modules from her online classes require way too much work than any other class! She gives out quiesces with 10 multiple answers, 25 questions WITH ONLY 30 minute time limit! I think she's forgetting we're in the middle of a Pandemic and she gives out too much work! we have other classes too!

She is by far the hardest teacher to talk to. Extremely rude and does not respect her students. For the love of god take another professor there are soooooooo many better finance professors at sjsu. Even If she is the only professor available just wait a semester and take the class with a different professor.

Bruh! NGL she really thinks this is the only class you taking and U ain't working to survive in UR life. Every week I get anxieties looking at the amount of work she has given to us. Like chill! the only thing we getting outta the assignments is headache and no learning. U'll be teaching yourself N her zoom sessions R totally useless. DO NOT TAKE

Save yourselves a semester by taking a different professor. She gives out quizzes BEFORE she lectures, and expects everything to be PERFECT. She knows the course in and out, however for students learning this for the first time? Forget about it. The stuff she talks about in lecture is redundant to what the quizzes/midterms questions will be.

Please skip this BUS170 Professor if you guys just want to get college over with. She made these online classes extremely difficult as if we don't have work or other classes to attend. Someone needs to report the amount of work she gives to students in the middle of a pandemic. Other professors that are "hard" classes aren't as difficult as her.

Do not ever take this professor. This is probably one of the hardest professors I have ever had. There is homework 3 times a week and lockdown browser for each homework with only 10 minutes. She expects way too much from her students.

You guys need to read these reviews about this professor. She over did it with these homework and quizzes. Every test and homework she gives out, is different from what she explains in class. We don't even get to calculate the formulas in class, she expects us to read and master everything on our own with no in class practice on how to calculate.

She apparently thinks that I'm only taking one class this semester so she decided to give 2 homework assignments a week with two quizzes " closely relating" to that homework. Also don't expect the class to help you with the literally anything in the class. Do not take this professor if you want to hate finance.

Just took the midterm for this class and I cant tell you that no matter how much you study the practice questions or review the concepts, nothing will prepare you for the midterm. You are required to take a quiz before the day of the next lecture, but the quiz is on the topic for that lecture. There is no chance to learn and improve.

2 sets of long homework problems + reading a week along with quizzes to accompany the homework. FOUR midterms and a couple on-the-side assignments. It's a lot of work but the REAL catch is that the readings and lectures have nothing to do with the quizzes and exams. This professor will make finance much harder if you're not already comfortable.

If you're trying to get by college so you can move on with your life, do not take this professor. If you want to learn about stocks as a profession you'll learn from her. However, her Zoom meetings and things she talks about in class will have nothing to do with the Exams and homework's. The comment below me is from the professor herself for sure.

Literally teaching yourself. Read, practice, take a quiz the day BEFORE class on the topic (2 quizzes/week). She roughly covers the topic during lecture, her slides don't have answers, cold calls, CAMERAS HAVE TO BE ON through zoom (she grades on it). All exams are closed notes + lockdown/webcam. Weekly quizzes barely give enough time.

This teacher is by far the worst Ive had in 5 years of going to college. She does everything backwards. Gives out quizzes and HW before and after midterms. No breaks at all, nor she adjusts her exams catered to the amount of work we need to do. She is inconsiderate. DO NOT TAKE!

4 modules, basically teach yourself. Read, practice, take a quiz on it: due Sunday before Monday class and Tuesday, before Wednesday class. THEN she goes over that same concept and does practice problems with us. Per module you have a good 8-10 quizzes. THEN YOU HAVE AN EXAM AT THE END OF EVERY MODULE. Hard & time consuming. CAMERA HAS TO BE ON.

The professor is crazy enough to leave a comment about herself. You can pretty much tell that every 5 star rating here is from herself. All of the real students are telling the truth. This class is pretty much self taught! She gives out quizzes and homework's before the class and is graded! no study guide, lockdown browser, no notes, hard exams!

Everything in this class is self taught. If you have anxiety, this class will heighten that. She will put you on the spot during her lectures. If you dont know the answer, shell be condescending about it. There is a cumulative final, only review sheet is the list of vocab. you get from the 1st day. Memorize ALL the formulas bc no notes on tests.

If you decide to take Professor Roden, brace yourself. Homework assignments are extremely dense and toughly graded. Be ready to teach yourself an immense amount of material without help and beware that when she goes through examples in class she runs through them like lightening.

Professor Roden is very knowledgeable about finance but she expects her students to have the same amount of knowledge as her. Before every class, there is a quiz on a chapter you have to read but you only get 8 minutes for the quiz and one attempt. There are four midterms and a final and some of the questions don't correlate to anything. AVOID HER!

Prof Roden is very strict and not flexible at all. She forces students to turn on cameras, so if youll leave for a few minutes for restroom,turn it off, shell probably kick you out. Like I dont mind turning it on, but controlling it to this point is unacceptable. The class is not easy, and self studying makes it harder. She doesnt really teach

Attendance is not mandatory but it may as well be since you have to answer questions during lecture for points. HW is due the day b4 lecture and is on material that we won't go over until the next day. HW, midterms, and the final are all done through the respondus lockdown browser. Take a different professor if possible. Final grade is curved

Required camera on during all Zoom classes and would randomly call on you. Doesn't teach well but the exams are hard.

Her class is self-teaching and then she goes over the chapter the next day. Tests are quite difficult and your homework is timed quizzes (2-3x a week). I wouldn't take her again but if you have to 50% is considered a C and there's a big class curve at the end because she knows her material is hard.

I understand it's college but the amount of reading/work she assigns from one class day to the next is overwhelming. In the real world you have access to so many resources & are constantly relearning so the fact she expect us to memorize so many formulas for the timed exams is difficult. If there are so many bad ratings, maybe evaluate yourself

PLEASE DONT TAKE HER. As a professor your job is to teach, she wants people to fail. I had a time tht my Canvas wasn't working for a quiz &I emailed her & didn't want give me an extension bc "no other student had this issue" but I had shown her the Canvas Support ticket. And next day more students told her it wasn't as well. Math ain't mathin' sis

smart lady but she really doesnt care much at all about her students, she rarely goes over any useful information that would help to prepare for exams and instead spends half the time rambling about some nonsense that is not related to her class

It doesn't matter how educated someone is , the reality is teaching is a gift & not everyone has it. She's the prime example of this. She's more worried about students cheating than actually ensuring learning. Final was 50Qs mostly math heavy in excel w/ only 1.5min to solve them!? Seems like she wants people to fail. Please don't take her!

You must read the textbook because she calls on people in class for participation points. Quizzes and exams are based on the textbook. She tries to make up her for her strictness by giving a hefty grade curve at the end of the semester. The test questions are nothing like the materials we practice or talk about in class.

This professor has terrible rating for a reason. Please, if you can, try not to take her class. BUS1-170 is filled with difficult concepts and lots of math. If you want to understand this class, better take someone else who is caring, empathetic, and nice. Lots of reading too! She doesn't explain or break down each assigned reading.
