Comment:

I took him for my finance seminar a couple of years ago, and there's no comparison between him and the other finance professors that I took. His course was rigorous, his lectures and written materials were clear and he was all-around outstanding. It's a shame that Pace lost this professor. I certainly wish that they would find someone else as good.

Prof. Teall wasn't always the clearest, but he certainly knew and loved what he was talking about. His enthusiam made you wanna be as skilled as he appeared to be. As student on the fence, he was the one who made me a finance major. He was always accessable, smiling, and willing to talk about your school and professional career. A true professor

Comment:

Pretty quantitative course with a lot of institutional detail Excellent course, learned a lot and got killed on the final. Still passed the course. Nevertheless, I refinitely recommend the professor, at least if you're willing to put in a lot of effort and still not quite make the top grade.

Comment:

Teall is by all means one of the best prof at Pace. Unlike most of the universityâ€™s faculty, he requires his students to use their heads and does not tolerate incompetence. The tests are hard--but he covers all the material in class and the book is not mandatory as all read material is handed out in class.

WARNING: If you're not a math genius; stay away. Teall lives and breathes math. He is a nice guy and will make the lessons fun and interesting, especially if you're a finance major. The midterm is okay and the final was unpassable. Enjoy!

Learned math for finance. Wish I had taken this course before FIN 672 and FIN 653. Excellent. I recommend for all finance majors. But it is difficult.

Comment:

Teall is certainly a smart man who knows a lot about finance. However, he is not that great of a professor. He confuses people and isn't very organized. The midterm and final are impossible (even though you will be studying for at least 15-20hrs). Group project - 3 people/25pgs. Although I deserved a C in the class, he gave me a B-.

His were the hardest exams that I took at Pace. But, I knew that I would have to study like the dickens and this made it possible for me to pass - I think. Excellent class. Not the same stuff I saw in my undergraduate finance courses or other MBA finance courses.

Comment:

The professorâ€™s utility for teaching is to feel smarter then the avg person, instead of a genuine desire to teach. He skips step so youâ€™ll be confused. He just makes things seem more difficult then they are. I would avoid him.

My section was for honors students. This was the first course that I took at Pace that was taught at a level above high school. It was challenging, interesting and absolutely worth the effort.

Dropped after the midterm. Don't get me wrong, he himself knows this stuff like the back of his head, but there's no guidance and he expects you to know steps one and two, and begins everything at step 3.

Very intelligent. You learn so much, the lectures are interesting. Exams are easier than you'd expect but the man makes you nervous. If you come to class every day and review the material a few days before the exam, you should do good. Review sessions are helpful.
