Best prof I've ever had during my four years at queens. Incredibly insightful and intelligent professor, always ready to help you and willing to spend a lot of time communicating with you. Even though you probably won't get a A and this course requires A LOT OF readings, it's the best course and you'll learn tons of practical knowledge.

He is one of the best professors I have ever had. Incredibly insightful and knowledgable . A very tough but fair grader who is more than willing to work with students in order to improve their grades.

Very arbitrary. Teaches useless old models that no one uses. Old, outdated symbols. He may have been amazing in his time, but he is no longer a good teacher.

Excellent Professor who takes care in teaching. The course is challenging but uses practical application to business cases. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot. The best course I took at Uni.

Definitely one of the best! He covers a lot of material in great depth, and the reading is very detailed and precise. Not an easy course, but those who survive it will definitely gain a lot of insight, and will be a great help to anyone's future banking career. What I love most is how he genuinely cares for students and his personal touch!

Great professor. One of the hardest course offered at Queen's but students are able to learn much more than the average QSB classes. Definitely recommend this course if you are going into finance.

Comment:

This guy prides himself on teaching a course that everyone thinks is hard. The truth is, the material he covers is not very difficult but his terrible method for teaching it, the vague reasoning and total lack of justification of his reasoning is what makes it hard.

Truly as good as it gets. No matter what your feelings toward finance, you have no choice but to learn if your intention is to pass. Learned as much in this course as in all other finance courses combined.

I took COMM323 in 1999 - it's the only course notes I still keep and refer to in 2009 - enough said!

Dr. Cannon is the best. I have taken two courses under him.He teaches you how to think. To look at the big picture, and how everything fits into that. I will always cherish the time I've spent in his classes, and what I've learnt will go a long way.

Comment:

This guy knows that he is good, and most certainly is. Take this class, but except to work you ass off. If you do work your ass off, you will do fine, and really appreciate taking it. If you dont - like some do not knowing what they are getting into - you will likely cry at night. It was the most useful class I have taken by far.

Comment:

Great prof and great course. Just memorize the lists and you'll do fine on the exams. Do the cases as independently as possible. Whatever you do, don't think like an I-banker...that's the road to ruin in this course.

Amazing course, amazing prof. Cannon is so old school that he does his regressions and charts by hand. You will never work harder and never learn more in any other course in university. Finance God. End of story. And all around nice guy.

Kill Bill Cannon's course is a killer but definitely worth the effort.He is the only professor I know that invited his studiants at his house for pizza and beers.
