Professor Pavlovsky is a very intelligent person and clearly knows her stuff. This class doesn't have any homework assignments so your grade pretty much relies on your exam performance. You have to give 3 market updates for easy points throughout the semester. Professor Pavlovsky is a good lecturer and is always willing to answer any questions about the content during and after class. She gives extra credit points for participaion in class which can help your grade at the end. I learned a lot in this class but again, your exams hold a lot of weight.

She is very knowledgeable and creates a good class environment that encourages questions. This class is not difficult but you need to show up for class and study hard for the exams. I would recommend going through the PowerPoint slides of every chapter that the exam tests and completing her practice multiple choice questions.

Pavlovsky surely worked in Wall Street before and has vast industry experience in finance. But she talks way too fast and her lectures can be very hard to follow especially for those who are not familiar with financial markets. Also the best way to study this course by not going to class because her exam are all from the slides and there will be almost no difference by going to the class or not, you can learn everything about this course better by reading the slides. You can’t really learn anything extra from sitting in her lectures which what she did is basically reading the slides at 100km/h. A lot of people know this and they never show up unless they’re there for her market update or there’s a “pop” quiz – ironically that everybody knows there’s gonna be one so I don’t know why it has a “pop” before it. The first one is pretty easy but the last two are slightly harder, beware and try to attend as much class in the first half of the semester as possible to drop the final and the hardest quiz (The mean of the final two quizzes was 2.9/5 and 2.1/5! Means on average the class failed!). Exams are not hard, but also not easy. In order to receive a good grade, you need to study her slides, especially some details in every topic. However, the overall grading is quite lenient compared to ECON330. Overall, I would still strongly recommend her class. You can learn something from this course and she is a fair grader. Some of my friends also benefited from her advice giving to them in internship searching. Your effort will truly be paid off if you studied hard and prepared well.

Every lecture is right off the slides, a lot of people stopped coming to class when they realized that. Not really any homework at all, just one stock presentation, and two exams, and participation, so your grade is based off of just those things. Exams really werent too bad if you went to class and studied.

Professor Pavlovsky is an excellent professor. She can come across as a little stern, but honestly it's completely warranted given that her courses are mostly for juniors and seniors who have lost interest in school. She really pushes you to learn and pay attention, which can be hard, but her exams take heavily from the lecture. Many times she'll say things in class that aren't on the slides, which she'll then write into the exam, so pay attention and take notes if you want an A. All-in-all, she's a fair grader and a nice person but definitely not a pushover. I would recommend taking her class, but you will have to work for that A.
