Reviews of professor Karen Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took this class async and the key to success is self-discipline. She gives you all the tools to succeed (and she's very organized) but you'll only get what you put in. Gives 3 quizzes throughout the semester instead of a midterm and they're on Connect. Final was hard but it was departmental and got curved. She's very fair and loves to teach.

I just finished this course. It was ok. Probably could have been better.

This class was near impossible. Every day in this class felt like a massive struggle. A lot of homework, a lot of essays, a lot of tests. I took this class because it was online, but looking back that was a mistake. Take this class at your own risk!!!

Great Professor with a clear sense about what she's teaching. Caring and knows what's the best for the students. Connect Smart Book assignments for each chapter, 3 connect exams to replace midterm. Departmental final was brutal, but she prepares you well for it with old exams and practice questions. 100% recommended.

Three quizzes on connect and final, (departmental) 30% of grade, is on blackboard. Smartbook assignments for every chapter which is due the last day of semester. I wouldn't leave the smartbook assignments till last minute, there is a lot of them. Pretty straight-forward grading criteria and great professor. Definitely take her if you can.

Overall a very difficult class. Lots of tests, lots of homework, mandatory attendance. I and a couple of other students that I know of did not pass the class. Good luck if you decide to take this class.

such an easy class. she took attendance a few times, so you should show up. Tests were curved and if you can do basic math you'll be fine. Also if it is hard, just go to office hours. Even gave extra credit for reviewing a business article.

This class was extremely easy. The way Prof Liu structured this class makes it very hard to get a poor grade. I wish she made the class more participation-oriented. Maybe it was the online format but it definitely felt like I was just listening to her the whole time. She definitely knows her finance though. She teaches from Florida online only.

Very good professor. Took class online, she explains content very well and always answers questions. Attendance is counted for participation, gives 3 tests ("quizzes") on connect and connect hw for each chapter thats due at the end of the semester so you have time.

Probably the best Finance professor Baruch has. Not only did she assign few assignments, her lectures were actually understandable. I hated Finance and I came out of that class ready to switch majors (JK LOL). Her quizzes were also easy bc it's reflective of what she teaches in class and she will give additional help if you ask for it. Solid prof.!
