Reviews of professor Janette Goodridge

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's really accessible outside of class and more than willing to help students out. That being said, sometimes her lectures are little hard to follow. As far as the workload goes, its very manageable. She doesn't give out busy work and all the homework covers relevant material.

She is an amazing professor, her video lectures were very detailed and easy to follow along. She gives so many example problems so you can understand how to do problems on your own before the hw. The class is hard but you just have to practice and she gives you enough material for you to ace every test. Nothing is a surprise in her class

This is probably the best option for this class but its not great. She's incredibly helpful and nice. But her lectures are straight out of the textbook and so are her assignments. Her assignments can be obnoxiously long and too many of them. Really just do the test reviews and exams are a breeze. Overall good class and would definitely take again.

She's very helpful outside of class but she is terrible at explaining things in her lectures. She speaks very quickly and doesn't explain things well. She'll explain something and their is visible confusion in almost every student. I would not recommend taking her and would take someone who is better at explaining things. It will be well worth it.

Professor Goodridge is super nice and accessible, however the assignments were mostly follow a path that she outlined without ever explaining why.
Make sure you take good notes for the exams - practice problems are a good option.
Just felt like of my 3 credit classes this was a more difficult, time consuming class.

I love Professor Goodridge! She's a great teacher and an even better person. Very caring, kind, and even though I don't have a finance background, she always made me feel very welcome. Her grading policy is clear, quizzes are easy (open-note), homework was easy, and she gives a study guide for exams. Great professor!!

Wonderful teacher. She works really hard to make sure everyone understands and is on track. The class is a little tricky to understand but as long as you follow along and do all the assignments, you'll do just fine.

3, three hour long exams worth 60% of your grade. The class averages were in between C- and D for each of the 3 exams and only the last one got curved. Incredibly long, gruelling tests that take forever because you're doing the whole thing in excel. One of my least favorite classes I've ever taken (FIN4200 because it replaced 3400).

The material is pretty easy, plus Janette is very clear in her lectures and explains concepts well. I took the class online, I watched the lectures at double speed and followed along with her examples in excel. I never even looked at the textbook and got an A. She really cares about her students and is always available for questions.
