Comment:

Honestly, he's a bang average prof. Don't have much against the guy. He's funny in class and gives decent lectures, however, he doesn't necessarily cover all the material needed for the final exam, so watch out. Otherwise, he's a pretty fair grader. If you have him don't worry too much, just participate and show up to class and you should be fine.

In a word, average. Dont expect to learn much about anything in this class. He will spend more time talking about his life decisions then about HR. You will have almost no clue what to expect on the final but he is a relatively fair grader.

He's sometimes bad at giving clear instructions, a little forgetful, and is a somewhat strict grader. Exams can be pretty tough too. HOWEVER, I love going to his classes because he is HILARIOUS, really passionate about what he teaches, and is great at explaining class content. He's not the best, but I wouldn't call him the worst. Mixed feelings.

Comment:

The absolute worst professor I have ever had the displeasure of taking a class with. His is chronically late, cuts class early, and rarely teaches anything related to the course, instead he low-key brags about his personal life and the pains of being "rich". Rude, arrogant and self-important are his best descriptors.

Good prof who shares a lot of personal experiences. For SCM, make sure you read the cases before class and you'll likely get an A. The material isn't hard, just gotta read it.

Comment:

Although everyone has mixed opinions, he does care about his students. The finance course is a very heavy class which he odes rush through. Be prepared for his messy handwriting as well. You're basically on your own for how to prepare for the exams, which are very tough. Very relaxed prof who tends to get off topic onto his stocks or life advice.

He taught superficially in the classroom. But he loves to formulate a tough question. He does not explain things clearly, But assumes that students knows everything. Very disappointed with his lecture and questions.

Make sure you read the course outline very carefully when you take any course with Alok Dua. He gives you all the information you need to succeed in the course. He also gives pretty good life advice and is hilarious.

He is a decent prof ! Students often bash him saying he doesn't teach well, but he has his own way of teaching. He might not be great in explaining theory part but is a great . prof when i comes ti numerical questions. He is one of the reason I am pursuing a major in Finance.

Comment:

Only take a course with Dua if you have the testbank for the textbook. If not, then I would avoid this prof because getting a good grade in his class requires understanding the types of questions he will ask. Does not cover textbook chapters in class, only the case studies. He always makes the final hard to balance out the grade distribution...
