Comment:
Summer session with this dude is awful. only goes over few problems in his powerpoints which are nothing like quizzes and tests. Quizzes and homework get extemely hard especially when you take his 3 o 4 step example problems in class and applying them to 13-14 step problems on the quizzes and homework. May be a prof but cant explain adequately

Comment:
Below is the head of the Finance department, so when teaching a face to face class it comes off as if he has better things to do. He has a very good understanding of what he is teaching, but is very monotone and teaches directly off his powerpoints. All homework is done on MyFinanceLab. Would not recommend taking during summer session.

Comment:
The subject material is very difficult and it's a lot of work. After failing this class twice, I took it with him and passed with ease. He explains every little thing very clearly and shows several examples of how to do it. He really wants you to learn. People who fail his class need to change their major! The best teacher for the subject.

Took this over the summer - one of the most difficult classes I have taken. Barely got by with a C+. He's a good guy, but will put you to sleep. I was unclear about some of the things he talked about. Take at your own risk.

Great professor! Really teaches you to be professional and gets you prepared for the business world. Really helpful in all aspects. I enjoyed going to this class, portfolio analysis and operational practice.

Tests are hard! Half of it is problems you have to work out and the other half is completely true/false and very confusing, things that weren't even covered in class.

No matter how upbeat I am upon entering the class, he brings me down! This man does NOT belong in the classroom. Having had classes for nearly 6 years, his BORING demeanor is not how I wanted to finish my education. He doesn't really teach anything; he'd rather you plug things into Excel & a calculator. No wonder he's in Administration - UCK!

Comment:
Apparently he's the department chairman, and for good reason - MAN is he BORING! - his online course materials are lame, but the key is to stay awake while reviewing them. Can't imagine having him in a classroom. Sadly, he's the only option for this class. Wouldn't be getting a finance certificate if I'd had this blowhard first! Avoid if u can!!!

Dr. Below is a laid back professor. 1 Test, 1 Project and an optional Final. This class puts together all the finance topics covered in other classes but with an easy workload.

If you want a good grade with a very reasonable amount of work, take his courses. he's a straight shooter who doesn't **** around. Given any of your other options for professors in any course, Take Below!!

Comment:
He's boring, but easy. He moves really slow and gets so far behind that we only did 1 project instead of 3. Optional final exam, no attendance. very easy class if you're familiar with finance, its all review. If you're not a finance major, then you'll be lost. I made an A.

He teaches all on powerpoint. This is a problem not only because it is boring and hard to pay attention but it is a finance class, how can you learn how to do the problems if you only view them on powerpoint and barely practice them. Practice makes perfect except there is no practice in his class.
