You can learn so much from each class. I love his class discussions. So glad I took the course with him. He won professor of the year a number of times and it shows.

This prof is all about cold calling and making you look like a fool. Never stops questioning students and always plays devils advocate. Avoid taking him unless you like getting bent.

Worst professor I've had at BU so far. Mean and doesn't care about students at all. Never misses a chance to make you feel like sh*t. Avoid him if you're not one of those people who love to show off in class.

Comment:

Agree that he makes you think by his "socratic teaching method". But regarding the valuation project, I wish he would have been more clear about all the steps involved. I think that most of my classmates did fine because some of them were in directed study and knew what they were doing.

Good prof-helpful, clear. Wants you to think. Beware cold calling and prepare to defend your ideas. Good friends with Griner, and it shows in teaching style. No tests or homework. Readings and papers.
