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 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.
