Reviews of professor Xiaomin Guo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Her class is broken into 50% homework and 50% exams. Every 2 weeks there is a large assignment due and an exam. Her exams are full of trick questions and she does not care when you email and ask for further explanations.

Professor Guo was great, her course is well laid out for online. Her class consists primarily of weekly tests, one final project, and weekly extra credit opportunities. Her class was challenging but she had study guides every week alongside the extra credit practice tests. Would take it again. I TOOK FIN 3144 but didn't see it as an option.

Dr. Guo is a very caring professor who knows a lot about financial planning. Her lectures are very straightforward and cover all the exam material. The tests are proctored through Honor Lock, but as long as you watch her lectures and take notes, you'll do fine. I would definitely take her again!

6 exams which count for 75% of your grade. Study guides for tests don't include the information you need so you will think your prepared but then half of the the exams are on stuff she barely touched on in her lectures. I'm a senior and this is the first B I have received since being enrolled at USF. not cool.

QMB 3200 is a challenging class to take in 6 weeks. Her recorded lectures are very informational but you have to really pay attention as some words are hard to understand with her accent. She is very good at responding to any emails and will try her best to help you understand the course material if you are unsure of anything.

Great professor and very understanding if you reach out to her. She will also help explain things if you email and ask questions. Online video lectures and tests are difficult so make sure you study. They are proctored and closed notes. Difficult class but if you put in the time you can definitely get an A.

Weekly tests, does not give any reasonable feedback to help you correct assignments.

This Professor is really good. She gave us good feedback on the assignments. The tests were tricky but not to difficult. The report is a lot of writing but the actual work itself is real fun. I learnt more about stocks and the stock market in this class than other Finance classes. This Professor is a gem. Be blessed

I don't think I've ever disliked a class as much as this one. She gives Study Guides that do nothing to prepare you for most of the test questions. She loves trick questions and loves to put test questions in of something she minorly mentioned in a lecture and for it to be 3 questions related to this. Absolutely awful, regret taking her.
