Professor Cai is always caring about her students and always available for her office hours. Definitely learned a lot from her class and would be useful for CPA exam. Lectures could be a lot but homework is a few questions. Liked her case studies for IPO and LBO.

Strongly recommended. His finance class is awesome, and he does care about students. He is very smart but patient to answer your "stupid" question. The case study is really hard but it helps you understand the materials.
