STUDY the reading guide front to back and back to front. Attend all of the live zoom sessions and ask questions. Learn the calculations but make sure you understand what you are doing because his qualitative questions can be difficult. Anyone can plug and chug in a finance course and get by and he understands that so he will ask questions in a way to make sure you understand them. I have taken 3 of the 4 finance classes and taking the 4th this next session. In order of difficulty so far they are FIN 701, FIN 710, and FIN 730. I don't know where FIN 720 will fall but will update after this next session. I spent the most time in preparation in the program with FIN 701 and ECON 705. Good Luck and don't wait until the last minute with Vines and wing it and expect good results. He has been the best teacher in this program by far but he does require effort on the students part.

I considered them all about the same. The main difference was Hsieh vs Vines. Hsieh only dropped a note packet and had 4 exams on moodle. I think all professors should have to have some type of interactive thing associated with their class like a personal video lecture. Vines did zoom meetings every week and posted the recordings. He was much more interactive. Hsieh would answer questions, but he didn't do much facilitating of the class and material.
The best professors in the program imo are Meeks (MADM), Vines (FIN), and Shaugnessy (ECON). They all provided interactive delivery methods through personal video lectures and zoom video conference meetings in their course. This is the way all the courses should be in the program. Too often some of the other professors have taken the route of online course materials from publishers instead of developing their own content (I do believe some of these professors are changing and moving in the right direction). The three top performing professors imo I mentioned also were much more focused on the high level thinking and content of the courses. I didn't see them overloading the course with assignments and exams/quizzes just to make the courses hard. It was actually about the material.
