What students are saying

“Best class I have ever taken. They actually care about us learning, which makes us want to learn… I am so glad I took this course. Every teacher should model their classes off of this one. It's the class I learned the most in and enjoyed the most!”

When signing up for Personal Finance, I was unsure of what the course would be like. I was afraid it would be hard to grasp but as this course comes to an end I can honestly say it has been my favorite class at Winthrop so far. It was challenging and very relevant to my life right now. I am thankful for all I have learned and will keep it with me forever.
