Tough to understand. Good guy, but I'd go with Tessendorf. She's more clear, plus she's hot.

Comment:

Prof. Khan is one of the few teachers at Hobart who could bring real world experiance into the classroom. Money and Financial Markets if a class about finance, so one cannot expect it to be interesting, but you will learn a lot that can be used in the future if you would like to get a job on Wall Street!! Also a really caring/nice guy.

Comment:

Anybody who criticizes this class obviously did not care about learning too much. If you are interested in finance and want to learn more about the basics of every fathomable kind of security, then this is your class. Be prepared to work and be challenged. One of the only classes I have taken that has prepared me to go into investment analysis.

Comment:

Khan told me Tangible Investments would make or break my economics interest and he was right. He's extremely intelligent and, while confusing in class sometimes, hes very helpful and encouraging in office hours. Hes very upfront about the difficulty of the material and considerate of personal proble

He confuses you so much because he gets off topic and stutters. He has a grasp on the material but he doesnt quite put it across to0 well.

Comment:

His lectures are well organized. Easy to take notes, but he must be one of the laziest professors I've ever had. Maybe there was extenuating circumstances, but he never handed back 3 papers, even months after we handed them in.

Comment:

He taught us by reading too fast over Powerpoint notes. I didn't learn much in the class. I'm so happy I transferred out of HWS after that semester. He was one of the worst teachers I had there.

Great prof. Makes you work, but you learn a ton. He's easy to understand and really willing to help. The negative review is obviously a whiner.

Funny, knowledgeable, always ready to explain what he's teaching. A bit biased towards neo-liberlism, but makes for a good debate.

Comment:

Great professor only if there is a good group of students. He works hard to motivate but the lack of effort at HWS will weaken his teaching style. He is intelligent and you will learn a lot from him if you want to learn it.
