Great prof who cares about her students. But looking back, I don't think I learned anything. The assignments and exams didn't do a good job at testing (the little). The average was so high that we lost points for not writing the definition of a type of market EXACTLY like it was written in the notes.

Sujata is arguably the nicest person in the world. She cares so much for her students and having a class with her is kind of life changing. With that said, she kind of babies you and makes tests/assignments too easy. The average was so high there was a 6% curve. Also, the other finance prof's are more demanding, and it's a big adjustment in Fine342

The best professor at Desautel's. She actually cares about her students. I suffer from depression and she brightens up my days. I love you Sujata

Professor is nice, no final exam however I feel that it is unfair that the other 341 sections have finals worth 60% of their grade. To be honest, most people I know in this class didn't pay attention to any lectures after the midterm. If you want to major in finance, take a different professor so you know what finance is like

Super kind and caring, really cares about her students. The only criticism is that she probably makes the class too easy, forcing her to curve people down and seemed to skip some material to the detriment of some finance majors. That said, she can make someone like finance even when they don't think they would.

One of my favourite profs at Desautels. She's super caring, her lectures are so fun, and whether you like finance or not, she makes the subject super enjoyable. She explains things in such a fun and clear manner, and makes the material seem simple. Only negative is that class average ends up being high so she had to curve everyone down 5%.

She never replies to your email. You ask her for a recommendation letter and she will NEVER reply to your email. She pretends to care about students only in public but she doesn't care. Also, her class is a joke - way too easy and you will never pass your IB interviews just with her class. Take Vadim.

Sujata is an amazing professor... IF you don't wish to pursue a major/minor in finance. I hate to say this, but she does not prepare you for other finance classes. If you wish to study finance and learn a lot go for Vadim. If you want an easy class, meet people and have a good time go for Sujata! All love, she's honestly so sweet and inspiring.

Its almost cult-like. She cares a lot about her image and acts extremely caring and fun in front of a class to make sure the students love her. However, her class is a joke and its too easy, you won't learn anything from it. She also ignores emails and isn't doesn't have a nice attitude if you talk to her one-to-one. A blessing in disguise opposite

She kept the class engaged, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She was truly gifted at helping me understand lessons and even stayed after class to help anyone needing extra assistance. She really cares about each student and is easy to communicate with.

She is extremely kind. However, I do agree with others; try to avoid her if you plan to take advanced finance. She puts a lot of emphasis on solving problems "the right way", but it felt like we only skimmed the actual content we were supposed to learn.She asks to work with a neighbour during class, so lectures might be painful if you hate teamwork

Easy class but our class average wasn't as high as expected! Our midterm class average was lower than Vadim's class and the average on the final was 73.4% (there is a final now!!). Caring and kind prof, she does insist on timelines a lot.

A gem! Her passion for finance is contagious, making even complex topics engaging. Her unique teaching style ensures every student is involved & learning. From checking on our neighbors ("R they ok-ish?") to high fives & running between whiteboards, she keeps the energy high & the class captivating. Prof. Madan is incredibly supportive and avail.

Professor Madan is sweet and makes the class easy, but it may not fully prepare you for advanced finance. Lectures can be tedious with group work. Unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the free textbook.

Although this professor is kind, the courses are not at all at the same level as the rest of Desautels. It might be a fun high-school class, but if your goal is to learn stuff that will be useful for you afterwards, DO NOT take this class. Half of the time is wasted chatting with others, which I agree is nice, but not really useful.

Sujata is probably a staple of Desautels. She knows every student by name, and her lectures are very interesting. Her lectures are simpler compared to the exams, so you need to make sure you study on your own a bit.

The GOAT! Professor Madan is the best professor at McGill. She cares so much for her students, and she makes class fun. I always went in with a smile, because I knew it would be a great time! Finance can be challenging, but she breaks down concepts so you understand the “why” behind everything you learn. McGill is so fortunate to have her.

Sujata's lectures are pure gold! She prepares you for the finance world, teaches you the actual reasoning behind stuff instead of just showing formulas, and her courses are such a good time! She knows her students' names, her tests are very fair, and it is very clear she cares deeply. If I could take her for every class, I would!

Sujata is a great prof. She loves her students and cares about them, and makes the 8am class not feel so bad. She makes difficult concepts easy to understand and provides a lot of exercises for them. HOWEVER, the midterm and final are WAY more difficult than the practice she gives us, and I dont feel prepared from just the class and textbook.
