His notes are awful, a mumbled word document of 1000+ words highlighted in an array of colors. Other than that hes a super caring guy. Very nice. Class is a little challenging though.

Comment:

The Wall Street Journal is a must-have for this class. He gives practice tests for you to do at home, and if you pass those, you'll get bonus points on the actual tests. Made the subject easy and gave assignments that apply to real life (investing etc). As long as you show up, take notes, and follow the directions, you'll definitely pass.

Great guy! Helpful & caring. Despite previous reviews, you DO need the Wall Street Journal. He expects you to use it, you have assignments on it, GET IT. Tests are kind of tricky, but he is willing to help. Be ready to work. Come to class. Always there to help students or clarify. Desires students success! Puts a lot of time into class himself!

His Personal Finance class was really long and drawn out and really boring. I did learn some stuff, but it was like pulling teeth.

Comment:

He is a wonderful sweet old man absolutely no complaints. Goes over the topics clearly. On tests make sure to understand the topics. He even has SI sessions before every test. No quizzes. No text book only need the Wall Street Journal which is only $15.00 but honestly don't get it. You wont use it.

Comment:

I read other RMP comments prior to enrolling in his class and found many said he was disorganized. I never thought it could be as bad as students made it out to be but it was. It's hard to even know whats going to be on the test because of his lack of organization.

Handwriting is kind of bad but he his a great professor! Very funny and very nice! Review practice exams!! They are VERY similar to the hour exams and his favorite answer is B or all of the above! No textbook just notes so he saves you money, turn in all assignments and you study daily for exams and you will get an A!

Comment:

This class was an easy GPA booster. I actually learned some stuff from it though. Mr. Mahoney was very great about responding to my e-mails and was willing to set up an appointment with me at one time to go over material I had trouble understanding. Great guy, great class.

Very great professor. If you work with him or go to his office hours he clarifies everything he teachs. His worksheets are awesome and doesn't expect a textbook.

Comment:

He has this way of teaching that is very confusing. His notes are not organized at all. It wasn't that hard but the test are hard when you don't understand his notes. There is no textbook use at all, just his notes

Comment:

I'm gonna give my honest opinion here. He really is a great person that is more than willing to help students out. My issue with his class was his lack of organization. I really got lost during class since there was no structure with his teaching style. You have to print off his "notes" online and really study. Great guy, difficult style.

Comment:

What can I say? Anything that Mahoney touches is great. He really cares about his students both inside and outside of the classroom. This class should be a part of the Core Curriculum. Any student can acquire life-long skills from it and any student can learn a lot by taking this class and his ECON 175 course.

Really liked this class. He obviously loves the topic, and is very knowledgeable in it. He's very helpful as well. However, he's not that organized and doesn't post grades.

Comment:

Mahoney is a nice guy, but his notes are very scattered and unorganized. While I did learn a good bit, there were a lot of things he wasn't very clear on. I wouldn't recommend this class to someone who likes missing or studies last minute. His version of a study guide is thirty pages of uninterrupted sentences.

Comment:

If you can't wake up and make it to class 3 days a week do not take this class cause you will fail as I did three times and he is the only one who teaches it. He takes attendance almost every day and if you miss class you will not know when to turn assignments in. However he is very helpful and nice and will go out of his way to help you.
