Comment:

Have fun teaching yourself in this class. He takes random attendance so I recommend not skipping. But also if you go, use that time to learn the material that he's not teaching you in class. He's a funny guy, I'll give him that, but he is not a professor who cares about you learning or doing well in his class.

Comment:

This teacher is so funny. If you participate and make a study group and actually study each week. You will pass the class. Print off everything from his website after the first day of class because I made a binder and brought it to class and it saved my life for the final. Keep everything he gives back because you will need it for the final.

Comment:

Probably Cameron's best teacher. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and interesting. FIN 431 is a great class, also recommend him for 335. Although Graham clearly does well in the real estate community, UNCW does not pay this guy enough. Take him if you have the chance, unless you are opposed to learning.

Comment:

Took 335 and 431 with him. Favorite professor at UNCW by a long shot. He's there to see you succeed both in and outside of class. Knows exactly what he's talking about and has plenty of experience to share. Very genuine guy, lots of awkward jokes and long conversations about yachts. Occasional field trips and donuts may be included.

Comment:

Three tests for the semester that are most of your grade. Tests come from the homework/practice exams just different #'s. He is a nice guy and will go off on random talks that are interesting but that "will not be on exam" He quickly goes through the subjects and you won't pass unless you teach yourself. He will curve if the whole class does badly.

Class materials were interesting but he has misogynistic tenancies. Just laugh at his jokes and listen to his self-serving stories, and you should be able to make a decent grade.

Comment:

Funny teacher and cares a lot about his students. Has donut celebration and test review before first test. Three test and final is the majority of grade. Allowed a one page cheat sheet for final. Homework collected on occasion, but is useful since most of the homework questions and practice test are on the real test.

Comment:

Finance is kinda boring, but Dr. Graham's class is entertaining because he has some interesting stories and perspectives. I ended up self-teaching myself a lot of the material because I couldn't keep up with his pace in class, but he is very accessible outside of class and will walk you through a problem if you just email him! great guy.

Comment:

Great Professor! Don't listen to the people who say he makes "offensive" jokes... they are far from offensive and he makes class enjoyable. He definitely teaches during class but you have to PAY ATTENTION and do the homework he assigns. He's a funny guy but you have to put in work to get an A. If you're a math person, you'll love the way he teaches

Comment:

In order to get an A/B you will have to put in work. He doesn't teach during class, instead he makes (offensive) jokes or talks about wall street. I had to teach myself most of the material (it is not difficult material). He has a website with practice exams and if you use those then you should be fine (exam questions come from the practice exams)

Comment:

His class can be difficult because he spends the entire time making horribly rude and sometimes offensive jokes. He tells the oddest stories that may or may not be true. Don't expect to learn anything in class. It is very "teach yourself".

Utilize his online materials to make a good grade. You definitely have to work for the grade you get. I found reading the chapters to be very important for actually understanding the material. Using a TI calculator is possible and makes the class a little easier. Google how to use that calculator.

I loved his class! He knows that this course is difficult, so if you come to class, do the homework and do your best on the tests you will pass with at least a C-

Comment:

This guy does enough to introduce you to the topic but you really do most of your learning and preparations for exams by doing homework, chapter practice questions and practice exams he has. you learn by doing as you do in math and programming and that is how it is. he does narrow down your studies.

Comment:

This was the most difficult class I've taken at UNCW. The first day of class you're basically told that you will work hard for whatever grade you get. That is definitely the truth. You will work your tail off for a C or B. Good luck if you're trying to get an A. Subscribe to the WSJ and talk to him about current world issues...He'll love it!
