Reviews of professor Mary Lynne Boorn

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class was so boring, she regurgitates the slides during lectures. I didn't learn much in her class. Being a RED major, I look up to someone like her. I just wish she taught from her experiences and less from PowerPoints. Few hw assignments, finance test (which is hard), midterm, and final. It was her first semester, maybe things will get better.

Boorn is an amazing prof and is really great at breaking topics down and answering questions if people have them. She is super receptive to feedback and the tests are really close to what we cover in lecture. The projects and papers are curved. Sometimes it can get redundant going over things again but it really helps! Very supportive and smart.

Pros: easy class, great professor, material is useful in RE, easily accessible outside of class, wants to help her students. 
CONS: very late grader, lectures are dry, assignments are given/posted few days before deadline, unclear guidelines.

Professor Boorn was a great teacher. The first part of the class was more conceptual which required more reading. Lectures can be boring at times, but she tries to make them humorous. If you go over slides before exams, you will be just fine. Second part of class was more hands-on which she did an amazing job of teaching. Will take her again.

We had to read an entire book in the first two weeks of class. Attendance matters, she makes you sign in every class. Most students didn't complete their financial exams because it wasn't enough time. Not to mention there is a lot of content to remember for exams. Homework was minimal and simple. Her TA's were very helpful and available.

362 with Boorn is not super interesting, but it's easy. The first exam is basic macro economics and she curves it super heavily. The finance exam is also a piece of cake. In addition to the two exams, you'll have homework and a project. Overall a pretty run-of-the-mill class, so if you show up and do everything you'll be golden.
