Reviews of professor Laura Feustel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Poor instructor!!! She knows nothing about how to teach. Her lecture is so unorganized and without any logic. She is like just read the slides and will jump to the topic whatever students asked for, then she will forget what she was talking 1 minute ago. Worst class I have ever taken! She won't curve unless the average score of class is D

Excessive amount of work and incredibly hard to get decent grade even while putting in hours of work in. She is always available to answer questions and is very helpful when you go in to office hours.

Advanced Financial was a hard class, but she gives you what you need to succeed. She's a really nice person and cares about her students & if we're really getting the material. I only read the textbook for sections I was confused on, otherwise it's not necessary. If you put in the effort to actually understand and not just memorize, you'll do well.

I have to say she is a poor instructor! Tax is hard, but her class was harder! Her powerpoint lecture was so unorganized!! She just read everything on the PowerPoint quickly. There were many many many quizzes and assignments you have to do. Tons of Connect assignments and T-assignment. Her exams were hard too! The worst class I have ever taken!

Professor Feustel is awesome and really cares about her students!! She clearly loves the subject she teaches (tax). Lots of hw and assignments but that helps w your grade significantly.  The only thing would be that the PowerPoint is not the best. The phase out and the exception are not stated and you have to read the long textbook for them.

Professor Feustel is tough but fair. The material for 4200 is difficult, but she puts in the time to help students understand and attend to different people's learning styles

Course material is not very organized. I know Tax is a lot of information and random rules, but she would often say exceptions to rules and ramble on without writing anything down. Powerpoints are not very organized either. Reading is basically mandatory to do well in this class. Cheat sheets on every exam, and lots of homework/quizzes/assignments.

Take 4200 with anyone else

DO NOT TAKE ADVANCED FIN WITH HER. Ridiculous amount of homework, be prepared to teach yourself.

Despite a lot of the reviews on here, I had a very positive experience with Dr. Feustel. There is a lot of content covered in the course, so although attendance wasn't mandatory, I'd highly encourage that you miss as few classes as possible. You will succeed if you go to class and do the practice problems - she doesn't trick students!

Extremely difficult class with a very different teaching style and use of book that doesn't help at all. Plus additional case work that eats up valuable class time and could be spent on other things
