Reviews of professor Valeriya Posylnaya

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had Valeriya for FIN 3649 in Fall 2020. Although it was going to be a blended class, she never had in-person classes. On top of that, she didn't even care to post any lectures online or anything, simply taking slides from the publisher and giving no guidance at all. I understand there's a pandemic, but I've had 60-yr olds teach online better.

This course is all exams, at least 80% of your grade. Just make sure you nail the exams and you can easily get an A. She's a very cool professor and gives extra credit just about every class period (she calls it group work and its added to your exam score).

If you like working with numbers, you will like her teaching method and this class a lot more than most students. Tests are worth 80% of your grade, but all the materials tested on are in her PowerPoints. She is a stickler with arbitrary rules, like nametags and phones in the classroom. Doing her group work is extra credit, so attend class.

Ignore all the bad reviews during COVID and online classes, I have had Valeriya Posylnaya for 3 different classes, corporate, international, and managerial finance. Very good experiences, going to class isnt required, but you will miss out on groupwork extra credit. Home work assignments are repeatable canvas quizzes. Tests are not too difficult.
