Comment:
Fantastic professor. He is great at making things understandable. The only downside is that the exams are generally quite difficult and will require some knowledge of what is in the book besides what he lectures on. Take good notes during his lectures too, as sometimes questions will pop up about little things he mentions for two seconds in class.

Kramer is a nice guy and a great prof. He doesn't post his powerpoints so you'll have to take notes, but that will help in the long run. Gives 5 exams spread out over 15 or so chapters, the final is cumulative but very general. You'll learn a lot of practical info from this course that'll far exceed the classroom. Everyone should take this class!

Very smart & passionate about finance. The worst part is his homework. He uses Aplia & it takes FOREVER. He gives you 3 tries but takes the average, so you have to do well on your first shot. Tests are challenging but it's Finance- it's a hard concept. Crams in a ton of work at the end of semester which is stressful. Nice guy, offers extra credit.

Kramer was a very good professor and I really enjoyed his Fin350 class. He clearly goes over everything and does his best to answer any questions you may have. I do agree with the previous rater that he gave us quite a heavy load in the last week, but it was manageable. He also does Wall Street Journal extra credit quizzes every week!

Kramer is awesome at getting through to his students. He presents all the information clearly and is easy to listen to. Really nice guy and is very intelligent. The only problem is that he backloads all the coursework. We had 2 exams in the first 2/3 of the semester, then had 3 exams in the last three weeks and a final project

Dr. Kramer provides an extremely down-to-earth classroom atmosphere that's easy to learn in. He knows his stuff, and is willing to share what he knows with the class, making it a breeze to learn practical information.

Dr. Kramer is hands down the best ProfessorTeacher I have ever had IN MY LIFE! He's a very respectable gentlemen. His lectures have a great balance of learning, humor, and uses in life. I've learned something new and interesting in every single lecture. In the two courses I took I have only missed one class session(I usually skip often in others)

Kramer is the man. If you struggled in this class its because you either didn't go to class or didn't study at all. His class flows well and he provides good examples. The aplia assignments are tough but you will get a good grade if you take your time. The exams are pretty tough, just study the recommended problems in the end of the chapter.

Comment:
Such a great finance teacher. Everyone at KU should take personal finance, as it will apply to everyone graduating college. He has great example to go along with the teacher, and his tests are pretty easy. Barely used the text book. It would be nice if he did a review session before the exams, but they are still pretty easy.

Great professor with an extensive knowledge of the subject. Been teaching for awhile, so he knows what he's doing. Has CFP designation, and teaches a very informative personal finance class. My only gripe is that, during the last week of the semester, he realized he was behind and crammed us with work to make sure he taught everything.

Finance is not an easy subject. with that in mind, professor Kramer is a very good professor and he teaches it well. Its still a hard class and you'll have to work hard to get a good grade. tests are hard and so is aplia. He also gives bonus points which is good and is pretty clear in what he wants. Review sessions would be nice though.

Comment:
Professor Kramer is honestly a really nice guy, but the material for this class is extremely dry and boring. On top of it Kramer does not do a very good job explaining it because the examples he uses are terrible. The homework is on Aplia and it is extremely hard. I had no interest in Finance before this class, and I have even less after taking it

Dr. Kramer is my favorite Finance teacher at Kutztown. He is really the reason why I am a finance major. Do all the practice problems Dr. Kramer says and tests are so easy. They take the whole time though so don't get caught up. Gives extra points now and then especially if you show up on a Friday when it's real nice out.

Awesome professor. Very smart. If you fail his class you are doing something wrong. Kinda boring at times, he tries to be funny with corny jokes, kinda entertaining. Just go and do the work. Aplia homework is so easy. Tests take the whole time so don't take too long on any question.

The topic is difficult period, but Dr. Kramer doesn't really make the materials easier. He basically go through the case study of every chapter in the book. It's boring for sure! There is no creativity there. Some of the homework problems in Aplia are not consistent with his lectures. Ouch...Final exam is cumulative. Don't take him!!

Hands down, best professor at Kutztown. Willing to help with class materials, along with grad school decisions, and job decisions. He is a financial genius and an unbiased prof. I took more away from this class than any other at Kutztown, and I'm a Marketing major.

Dr. Kramer is a great professor. Very helpful. If you have any concern easy to approach. I think that everyone should take personal finance. Attendance is not mandatory but you still should go to class because you will def learn something from him. I recommend taking him for any finance class. Keep in mind finance is not an easy subject. Good Luck
