Im currently registered for FIN 701 with Vines and ECON 705 with Fawaz. I plan to do only one of these courses for the coming fall session.
Any suggestions on which should I keep and which one I should push to another session and perhaps aim for a different professor? Im leaning towards dropping Vines and trying to take FIN 701 with Choi later.

ECON705...Fawaz is very engaged! Weekly zoom sessions, which are extremely helpful! Makes himself readily available via cell phone (he will walk you through a problem over the phone), email or forum post for any questions or problems. Weekly assignments/quizzes (5 chances to take each) and 1 weekly closed book exam. no true midterm or final. Test are not terrible - part concept, part formula. The material feels overwhelming at times, but don't give up, he will help you succeed.

Consider Kendall for FIN701. She does not do zoom sessions (or didn't when I took her) but she is engaged and very helpful. She provides a lot of feedback, guidance, and resources to help you understand the material. There is a weekly discussion/reply and a weekly test; sorry, I don't remember if there was a true mid-term/final. You are allowed to use a cheat sheet with formulas on tests, but you definitely need to know the concept behind the formulas too. She curves test grades,and I think drops the lowest. Workload is not horrible.

I normally take only 1 class per semester, but after taking these 2 back to back, I feel like I could have taken together. The workload wasn't overwhelming for either class, but FIN is writing/research heavy due to discussion topics/replies.
