Worst professor I have ever taken. Only five tests where you have to memorize formulas without a formula sheet. Snaps and berates you for asking questions in class. Overall a rude man.

Comment:
The worst professor I have ever had. If you feel like teaching yourself finance management, take him. He only gives you 1 day to do the homework and doesn't go over all the material on the test (I mean like math problems, not terminology). Would never recommend to anyone, seriously, only take him as a last resort.

Nice guy, I don't know why people say he snaps or is super tough, math is math and you get it right or you don't. I've personally never seen him act rude to anybody. Dude talks a bit much and doesn't hold my attention very well. He means well though, and if you ask what you did wrong, he will help you out.

Comment:
Genuinely tried in this class and almost made a C. Pretty intimidating to ask questions in class because he sometimes snaps at who do. Doesn't really care about students, bc I tried to speak to him about my situation as a senior & how a 68 would have me push back grad. date. He emailed me back sorry not sorry and submitted grades day prior. Savage

Comment:
I got a C in his class and I am normally a A/B+ student. I went to class everyday and also recorded his lectures to study with. Trick to his class is do the test review ahead of time find the answers and have him review it a few days before the test. Practice the math problems! Most of the time they were around 50% of the test.

Comment:
This class has 5 exams, homework problems count for 50 points of the test then the rest of the exam is out of 150 points. He uses the author powerpoint slides and his own lecture notes. Print both. He gives math problems for the homework in class so do not miss class. He responds to emails promptly, not hard class just read the book!

Straight forward as it comes. Not the most interesting professor, but it is very feasible to get an A. Take him!

Comment:
A very direct and simple class. He takes attendance, but it is not required. He isn't very engaging, he just talks and goes through powerpoint slides the whole class. Test are not hard, if you study for them in advance.
