Reviews of professor Evgenia Golubeva

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course is not easy, if you want to learn about Options & Futures Prof. Evgenia is your best option, her syllabus is fair if you keep on top of your other assignments (hw and hedging games) you should be able to get a B even if you don't do that well on the midterms. You should have a firm grasp of most of the concepts if you attend and focus.

FIN 416 possesses a wealth of information that uncovers the various fundamentals of understanding derivatives and their use cases, pricing, and much more. It is a fascinating class, and Professor Golubeva complements the interesting course material with her passionate teaching. I would highly recommend this class and Professor Golubeva.

Nice professor who enjoys what she's teaching but the class subject itself is really nothing to be excited about making it fairly difficult to keep interest during the entire class. Some homework assignments are easier than others, no actual feedback on them. Exams are pretty difficult if you don't review practice sets and homework extensively.

This isn't the most awful class you can take, but her accent is super heavy and she doesn't give good feedback on what she grades. Hedging Game is stupid, curves exams, knows the material, but expects you to already understand instead of attempting to learn. Wouldn't recommend to take as a filler, but if you need a Finance class.... I guess.

Professor Golubeva is hard, but she is a good. Theres only 3 exams so don't expect to use homework to help your grade. Sometimes it can be hard to follow her but you just have to realllly listen! If you sit there and pay attention, you will get the material. The exams arent hard but like one multiple choice question can be worth 10 points.

Tough class but not an impossible one. If options and futures is something you're truly interested in then you likely will not have much of a problem in this class. Go over the lectures as well as the practice exams in detail since exams are a bit tough. Ask questions and study a lot. She's very helpful.

Tough class nonetheless. Its really one of those classes that you really have to stay on top of your classes and have a passion for futures.  You will learn well. She's really nice. Allows 5 absences.
