I have taken FIN701 with Vines and was considering FIN710 as an elective. What are the differences between the 2. I have read many post on this class and they have ranged from brutal, like your post to its a must take course that is not hard. What is you take on the differences between the 2?

701 is general finance concepts, but the teacher (Vines) is more concerned with your grasp of the concepts and reasons for making decisions than just the math equations. He is a great teacher that provides alot of zoom sessions and answers questions so that people can understand it. When you show your work on the tests, he provides partial credit even if you get it wrong.
710 (Hsieh) on the other hand, deals with more advanced investment concepts, but is more math structured. There are a LOT of equations and you basically have to teach yourself from the provided materials. The tests are multiple choice, but you either get it right, or wrong... there is no partial credit for a question. Overall, it is much harder. The language barrier makes the zoom sessions a bit more difficult to grasp the concepts.
I spend 25% of my time working on 701 work, and 75% of my time on 710 work. I have a high A in 701 and a mid B in 710.
