Reviews of professor Laura Feustel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've taken both 4200 and 3400 with Prof Feustel. She's so nice, and cares a lot about her students. Both of the classes are difficult but manageable. She's great about being available to meet on Zoom to answer questions! I would definitely recommend taking her classes!

The course is difficult enough, but she makes it even worse by being strict with grading and being largely unhelpful as a teacher. Explanations and examples of concepts are presented in a wildly unorganized fashion. No curves given for exams, either, even with a course-wide C- average. You'd be better off finding another professor for this class.

Overall, is a good professor. Gives lots of info on the slides, so if you know that, and how to do the practice problems, you should be fine. I came in with previous knowledge in tax, so I'm not sure if my experience with her would've been different if I had not.

Tough class. However, Professor Feustel does care about her students learning and is supportive. Clearly very knowledgable on the areas that she teaches. Class is pretty well organized. Professor is quick to respond to emails and flexible in meeting outside of class for students. Put in the effort, ask questions and you'll be fine.
