Comment:

Falk is the man, the best Finance professor at U of M. His course is extremely challenging, but that is due to the material. His tests are hard, if you expect to get above a B+ then you really need to work VERY hard for it. I took it online, I do not recommend anyone else do this.

Comment:

I was terrified to take this class but Jerrod is an incredible instructor! The assignments are great practice. Also, his video conferences are super helpful so make sure you attend those. The sample exams have questions with the same concepts as those on the exams. I regret taking this online only because I would have really enjoyed his lectures.

I really enjoyed this class and this professor explanations are clear and keeps you interested in the concepts you learn. There is one quiz, midterm, two group assignments and a final. The group assignments are quick and easy. The exams are challenging but fair. If you study all notes and all recommended textbook questions, you will do good.

Comment:

Very entertaining and makes class interesting but only touches on basic concepts. TONS of outside of class work to be done. Exams are ridiculous compared to other classes. Expects you to know the topics inside and out. Only attending classes will not provide you with enough information to pass the course.

Comment:

He is a really good prof and I really enjoyed him. He goes over basic and general idea of concepts in class, so make sure when studying for exams to go over all notes, txtbook examples, homework and old exams. The midterm and final exams are more difficult questions but if you go over all resources you have, you should be ok for the exams.

Comment:

Above average prof, midterm and final exam are ridiculous in comparison to the in class examples. He teaches the fundamentals and tests combinations of random topics. This course should be re-evaluated to improve the 50-50 pass fail.

Comment:

He makes it seem easy... Too easy for that matter. Exams are way too hard. Every curve-ball concept gets tested, and you get very little time to stop and work answers out. If you don't know the material cold you won't finish the whole thing. Pay attention and do your homework.

I'd pay the tuition to attend one of his classes again just to check out his attire. Aside from being a beauty, the man's intelligent and a great lecturer. His exams are difficult but that's just Corp Fi. Keep yourself caught up and you'll do fine. A+ prof!

Comment:

Took him for Fin. Acc. in the summer. He expects you to read the chapters before the lectures and labs. He explains concepts very clearly. Everything up to midterm was easy, final exam was difficult. I wouldn't say he's an amazing professor, but compared to other profs in Asper, he's well-versed and knowledgeable. He's got some funny stories too.

Took him for financial accounting in summer session, he was a very helpful proff and always spoke with great enthusiasm i definately recommend him. As for the class its easy until the midterm then after it gets harder. Had 1 midterm (40%) 1 final (60%) DO THE BEST YOU CAN ON THE MIDTERM! final is a killer, one advantage is falk gives bonus marks
