Most of the tests in this prof's class are from material covered in class, almost nothing from the lyryx labs. Overall decent prof.

Comment:

Finally a Prof that does not use ppt to teach FIN. You have to attend class his class to work through the problems with him but you actually learn something. He is very straight forward and lets you know axactly what you need to know to do well. I thought his class would be dry but his nerdy jokes make it fun. Great Prof

Comment:

This prof teaches through examples so attend class. Definitely read the textbook and understand the lyryx. The midterm had questions taken straight from the practice midterm that he posted. Classes ended early almost every week (2 hours only). He isn't very good at teaching theory but overall, really easy.

Great prof, use his sample past tests he posts on bb. very easy to get a high mark. he's clarity sucks but the best part is if you read and do problems frm textbook n review his handouts you'll do good. alan kaplan's midterms r soo hard n tricky but macinnes is knowing the concepts. :)

Comment:

Keith's a nice prof that doesn't make the course seem too hard. It was nice that he kept the material on the exam strictly to the problems worked on in class. That made it easy to study for. Overall a great prof that made my summer course a lot simpler.

Comment:

He is boring and monotone and mumbles. There is no need to come to class unless you want the contribution marks worth 5%. (This actually helped me in the end). Thought I wouldn't do well but did okay in the end. He is very fair in marking- gives easy marks. make sure you know your sections inside out!! MEMORIZE

Comment:

Easier to take this class online, however it wasn't too painful taking it in-class. Expect for classes to be cancelled last min. In class back of the chapter Q's are taken up and contribution marks are given out. EASY CLASS/PROF. Just try not to fall asleep in class.

Comment:

You only need to come to class for participation marks!!! Other than that you're better off at home memorizing! Keith is pretty monotone and is ideal as a bed time storyteller because you'll be asleep before you know it, but he does post last year's midterms and exams for you to practice.

Comment:

too many health issues. He missed 3 classes. Despite classes ending early, the material he tells you not to worry about ends up on midterms and exams. He doesn't explain things clearly and will not adjust grades. He is terrible.

Comment:

Get used to the monotone, and you'll find his random jokes hilarious! Most of the class was just him going through textbook problems. He needs to update his handouts, instead of writing over them with a thick marker and distributing that. Final was tricky, but not too bad. I'd take another course with him.

Comment:

Incomprehensible, hand writing is awful. Midterms are easy, somebody else wrote that exam but it wasn't too bad. Two 25% midterms, one 10% assignment, 40% exam with 50 m/c marks, 50 problem solving marks. Yes there is written answers in this course, so you can't use the heuristic of guessing "C". Take Keith to ensure a high mark going into the exam

So unbelievably boring and hard to understand in class. He IS a genius but you'd never tell unless you saw him during office hours. His tests are fairly straightforward.

Comment:

Not recommended for FIN 610 and 521. He teaches 1 thing and on tests he puts things he didn't teach and didn't focus on. some groups got zero on their group assignments, and class average was 60. He misses a lot of classes.
