Nice guy, but his lectures are hard to understand because he's so smart. You have to put a lot of work in to do well. Final exam is 10 times harder than the midterm.

Comment:

He develops your interest, clearly outlines course objectives and take you through the course in a systematic way. Very punctual and professional. He distributed course grade into large number of small quizzes and assignments. A 30mins quiz at the beginning of each class made our lives easier (NO FINAL exam). He was the best prof during my MSc.

Does a good job of making things funny and/or interesting. Obviously well-informed, and you can do well if you pay attention.

Comment:

Easy course. You will know everything by the time your done the course, but he takes forever. In what should take an hour and a half to teach he takes two and a half hours. Also treats you like your 5 years old by using fill in the blank notes to make sure you go to class. One of the most disrespectful things professors do in my opinion.

Is a good prof but uses class time for things irrelavent to the tests (pics of his trips and hobbies) Will never change a mark regardless of how wrong he is. Final exam did not match previous two midterms in terms of content

Comment:

interesting coverage but not useful as exams make bulk of mark yet problems are seldom practiced in class. in addition, he brings very tough and long exam problems. you need to have taken a couple of finance courses prior to this course.

He was a really awesome professor! Made a boring subject as exciting as it could be. And he reminds me of Count from Sesame Street. That was kind of fun.

Comment:

He's a really good guy. He's so into what he's teaching, and that's great to see. I loved his side-slideshows about random things, like billionaires and collecting stock certificates and mind-mapping, it was a nice break and genuinely interesting :). I found the course really hard though, but it wasn't his fault, it's just finance -_-. He's great.

Very clear stucture, easygoing, funny, and considerate person. I think he is the best prof in this school. Everyting emphasized in the class will be tested on the midterm and finals, there is no surprise for everyone. However, it's still challenging.

Comment:

Awesome teacher. Knows his stuff in and out, and then some. Too bad finance gives me a headache. Go go 50% on every exam! As a side note, Brock sucks for Finance in every way. The expectation is to memorize all formulas, as opposed to providing a formula sheet and understanding the material. It's one of the worst aspects of the school.
