Comment:

Professor Nam is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about real estate and wants his students to learn. He owns a RE company so his lectures are interesting, there is no textbook (only slides) but the tests honestly aren't hard if you pay attention. 3 case studies aren't bad either. If you're actually interested in real estate, take prof. Nam.

Comment:

I would highly recommend taking another professor for corp finance. Very unclear with what is due and when. He does not seem particularly interested in corporate finance as it is not to involved with his line of work. Good thing is he fails almost nobody, the bad is you will not learn much at all and can learn more with a better grade from another.

I love professor Nam. By far my favorite professor at Pace. His class maybe hard BUT YOU WILL LEARN, just put in time to study. If you are a finance major don't take the easy way out! What he teaches you will help in the future! He teaches you what you need to know. Doesn't grade attendance but don't miss class.

Comment:

If you want to be a financial analyst, TAKE his class & pay attention. Trust me it will help you in your finance career. His class is hard (it's no joke)! Take notes, pay attention, ask questions and attend class. Quizzes, 2 group projects, midterm & final exam.

Comment:

Nam is a HORRIBLE finance professor. His finance class is impossible if you aren't already a master at corporate valuation. Can't understand him over his thick accent. Looks at you like you are stupid. Never around for help. All he cares about is his Korean real estate company. Exams are BRUTAL. AVOID at all costs! He should NOT be teaching.

Extremely hard. Projects are not clear. You need to visit the tutor in order to understand. Teaches as if you're in grad school

This guy is the best! He took his time explaining everything and would redo problems as requested. Said he counted attendance but hardly ever took it. Exams a tough but totally passable if u study. He is a must take for any class. One of the best Finance professors @ Pace.

Comment:

Nam is a really great professor. He is crystal clear about what is expected. Exams are very similar to stydy sheets given in class. He gives random quizes here and there, which counts mostly as attendance and he gives extra points on your exam if you've taken all of them. I missed two but I got like 90's and exams and I got an A. Take Him!!

Even though I find him very obnoxious, he knows his stuff. He's a smart man. Exams are hard, but its FINANCE. If you're a finance major, definitely take him. You will learn a lot.

Very smart and easy to follow. Hard to find him though but if you only listen and pay attention you will learn. He will not quit explaining his topic until you fully understand it. All his exams are easy if you study. Keep practicing his homeworks and notes. Great professor!

Out of all the classes I have taken at Pace, this class is the only class that actually taught me something, that's my last class. I was able to negotiate my home-loan because of Dr. Nam. He's the best at Pace.

Comment:

Web assisted course much better yet a rush rush course. He tries to cover a lot of info in 2 1/2 hours or so. Does examples in class and gives hw which you have to do or else you won't know what's going on. Exams are exact questions from hw or class examples but you have to study cuz its too much info to remember. overall he's good.
