Assistant Professor of Finance

Kate Tiedemann School of Business and Finance, University of South Florida

Each course has its own page holding the full week-by-week schedule, grading, and course details, and each of those pages prints cleanly, so a schedule you print in week one stays readable on paper all semester.

Per university policy, the syllabus and course materials (handouts, slides, code, and course repositories) aren’t posted publicly. Enrolled students receive the course page by invitation through Canvas. If you’d like a syllabus or have any questions about a course, I’m happy to help. Just email me at gson@usf.edu.
