This class made me hate myself, and it made me hate it more. If you were unfortunate enough to already go through EF 157, the TAs may tell you EF 158 is easier than it. Unfortunately I believed that lie. I was a straight A student before taking either course, and I loved physics, but this class has made me hate it. Every test feels like its fresh off the desk of Satan himself. They throw so much extra information into each question that you do not need just to misdirect you and waste your time during the test, which wouldn't be as much of an issue if you had 2 hours, but instead they give you 75 minutes. To top it off, exams are with 55% of your grade in this class. DO NOT BE DECEIVED, THIS IS A WEED OUT CLASS FOR THE HONORS PROGRAM. I averaged taking 3 practice tests per unit to study for...read more

Class content seemed interesting and enjoyable, but the manner in which it was taught and tested on is deplorable.

Goes through material way too fast. Dr. Kit runs the Cooke Grand Challenge program, and designs the tests himself along with his TAs, perfectly engineered to make you struggle. If a course has his name on it, don't take it.

To not take it.

The course is unrealistic and does not cover the actual material tested in a digestible way. The course is mostly read about it and figure it out. The group assignments do not give enough time to produce a quality assignment of any sort and makes no room for realistically working professionals taking the course. Exams are brutal even for someone who studied and tries and the course seems to take pride in being overly difficult which is a bummer.

Financial policy and theory, annuities and perpetuities, interest rates, mortgage payments, loans, stocks, etc.

The professor is nice and very knowledgeable but spends almost as much time explaining that the course difficulty isn't his fault and comes from leadership as he does on material. He is very knowledgeable and does try but often explains in a way not all students can follow making it extra difficult to understand the concepts.

The course is almost too much to take with another course if you intend to try to do well. Be prepared to buckle down and clear schedules for group projects as they have very unrealistic timelines, the mylabs and practice materials don't match up to the exams. The horror stories are true but the professor knows this and does try dispite the difficult content. Overall, be careful what your course load is when you take this.

The class was amazing

Very helpful in basic life skills

She was amazing and was great at delivering class

I hated this class. Only took it cause it was mandatory for me. The midterm average was in the 50s and they had to curve as 'they didn't expect it to be this bad'. The test questions were not really the same type as the lon capas or the in class questions. The prof was not good at teaching. She mostly read off the slides and didn't explain stuff well.
