I've been a lurker for a while, but decided to start to participating in this awesome forum after reading pretty much every post. I just started the MBA-Finance concentration program this spring. I'm currently taking FIN 701 (Vines) and FIN 710 (Hsieh). AP2 I have Econ 705 (Shaughnessy) and FIN 720 (Hsieh). Hoping to fast track this and be done in October.
FIN 701 is pretty easy, but FIN 710 is brutal. I have a 86%, and pretty happy considering how tough the tests are.
Anyway, I will be happy to help or share whatever info that I have.

How was Exam 3? I'm debating on taking it this evening or first thing in the A.M.

I thought it was pretty easy. I got lucky on the random question draw this time.

@Cajunpilot, I agree with whoneedssleep. Probably the easiest exam so far. Just finished myself.

I’ve got A’s on the last two, so this is good to know. Will be taking in the morning. Thanks for sharing

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.

Well, I take back many of the harsh things I've said (or thought) about James. She just sent out an email that there will be no Application Forum 3. I've never been so happy for something so small

I want to you to able to focus developing the Marketing Plan for your chosen strategy this week. As a result, I've decided to forgo the third application forum.

Thanks AstroTiger, just completed my "survey" but unfortunately no amount of free points will change my mind about this class...
I noticed you got a down vote for this awesome news, the only person who could conceivably disapprove of your post is James, she has to be down vote bandit plaguing this board...

Lol. Have y’all started part 2 yet?

Started this morning. Expect this to be a lot easier than part I (even to James' own admission) as most of this is our thoughts and not research. It's the research that owned me with part I.

I've read through the instructions and the template, but I haven't put pen to paper yet. No app forum will save the day and make this week bearable to get part 2 done.

I got some bad questions on exam 3. It was brutal for me. I thought the last two exams were a lot easier. :(
Posted on 2/19/18 at 6:42 pm to hannat
Dr. Vines has posted the grades for Exam 3.
I thought I was going to do much better than the past two, but I almost made the same grade as before: 85. Well, at least I didn't fail it.

Mine isn’t up yet. 85 is not bad at all! Great job :)

Mine isn't up yet. I didn't do well at all, the more I think about it the more I get nervous.
