Comment:

The test are hard if you don't read the book, take notes in class, and do the online hw. I got a A in this class. If you don't get a A or B that shows a lack of effort. I learned alot about finance and would take this class again.

Comment:

Professor Haddad is a nice person and is very intelligent. This is why he is head of the finance department. However he is not a good teacher. This will easily be the worst class you take. It was a horrible experience for about at least 300 of the students and also the professor. I would be surprised if he is teaching next semester. Dont take him.

Do you want to fail? Well perfect! This is the perfect way to do it. DO NOT take him! I am a 3.6 GPA student, I work hard and yet, I practically failed each test. He doesn't teach, doesn't care and doesn't try to help you understand the information. You read the book, understand the jargon and the test comes and he uses words that arent in the book

Professor Haddad is a nice person. If you go to all class and review your book ( is very important) you will pass this class at least by B. Do not pay attention to the bad reviews. This semester at least over 95 percent got c and above. I am a second language, and I got A. However, I believe he dropped the lowest grade.

Comment:

Mr. Haddad is a nice person but extremely scattered when it comes to teaching. He doesn't take time to know his students but rather spews gossip about his class. Although I like him as a person, I will never take him again for any course and would recommend you do the same. Nothing lined up and lectures were all over the place.

Comment:

Lectures, Homework, Exams are all COMPLETELY different from each other. Didn't explain concepts all that well. Clearly just trying to collect a paycheck while doing the minimum amount of work. DO NOT take this professor. Easily the most difficult finance professor, and hardest class that I have taken at sdsu.

Avoid if possible. Positive reviews are likely posted by the professor himself.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had in my life. Not only does he struggle to help complete questions he gives us on our HW, but most of the questions he gives us don't even appear on the actual exam. I had better teachers in high school. I've had to teach myself everything about finance this semester because he fails to do so. Don't take him

Comment:

Haddad has a different teaching method where he doesn't teach at all and generally just ruins your life. Easily the worst professor I could have ever imagined. His homework assignments take insane amounts of time and a significant portion of the homework that you struggle to complete, never even correlates to the exam.

Comment:

Haddad has a different teaching method than most SDSU Professors, you're expected to read the material before and come in with as many questions so that he could explain them in more detail. If you feel like there's more you wished was covered, he'll sit with you for hours until you comprehend the material. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class!

Comment:

Prof Haddad is a very good teacher. He is well respected and knows what he is doing. He really cares about the students but you have to be able to put in the effort. As long as you keep up with reading the book and attend the lectures you will be fine. I would highly recommend taking this class.

Comment:

Just don't take this professor. In this class we have to use financial calculator for most of the question, and he didn't teach any of them. His lecture is hard to understand, because the content has no logic order. He has a lot of online homework is way more difficult. Just take another professor class if you have choice.

Easily the worst professor I've ever had. Teaches content in a way that won't apply to the way we need to approach the problems for exams, doesn't even give you the whole class period to take the exam and doesn't follow his own syllabus. If you ask him a question, he will find a way to be as demeaning as possible to the students.

Comment:

The mandatory attendance is no joke. He finds ways to randomize the check in (paper sign in/ random name calling/end-of-class sign in) to force kids to show. Lectures can help for a specific problem, but it is whatever he decides to go over and is anti any suggestions. The tests are hard, so you need to be prepared to teach yourself with the text.

By far the worst professor I have had at SDSU, lectures are unorganized and make no sense, he is rude to students, the homework is extremely difficult and time consuming and will not help you on his difficult exams which he does not give you enough time to finish. There is no point in attending his terrible lectures but attendance is mandatory.

Skip class? You wont pass. Go to class, you still won't pass. Material reviewed in class doesn't help with the homework. You're required to purchase a financial calculator, but he won't show you how to use it (also does every problem by hand which takes 30mins/question). Need to leave class early? He will stop the lecture and tell you to sit down.

Comment:

Experienced,hands off teaching style is great. Makes you think and work for your grade which is like the real world. No hand holding in this capstone course. Group projects and lots of analysis. If you're weak in finance principles, Excel and need hand holding, you will struggle big time as he has high expectation of all students. Fair & caring.

Comment:

Great professor of Finance. Teaching style is aligned with the real world where no one holds your hand. You have to read, and analyze the material carefully before you ask for help (no pain, no gain). He will make you a top finance student if you follow his recommendations and are committed to learning the material and study hard.
