Comment:

Professor Saraoglu is such an enthusiastic professor. Although the material is boring his lectures aren't. He gives 10 homeworks that are done in groups of 4. They aren't difficult and he helps you with them in class. His tests are very similar to the homework but watch out for little differences that will trick you. Overall amazing professor

Comment:

Extremely nice man and very knowledgeable in Finance but can't say the same about his teaching. I only succeeded because I already knew many of the concepts and worked hard on my own but most others struggled due to the lack of explanation of concepts and very hard grading. Take only if you're really good at finance.

Comment:

He does not explain concepts well. If you make one small mistake on a problem you lose all points but 1. I always thought I did better on exams than I did. Many people didnt do well due to his lack of partial credit. 2 exams, and a cumulative final worth 40% of grade. Also a bunch of group homeworks. Hes nice but I would not recommend or take again

Took him for various classes during my undergrad studies at Bryant...best Finance or I should say best professor ever...you've got to be brain dead not to successfully pass his class with a good grade. He teaches so well that if you spend some time studying you will be a finance guru.

Awesome professor. Wants nothing more than the success of his students and will not rest until everyone understands what is going on in class. Class is boring at times because its finance but he is definitely the most enthusiastic professor at Byant. No book and not much HW. three tests that are 100% based on HW and lecture notes

Comment:

Hakan is great! I hated finance but he made sure that everyone understood what was going on & what he was teaching. He was very helpful in reviewing your old tests if you got a less than satisfactory grade or if you just had questions about homework. Worth going to class even if it was boring. I hated aplia but buy the ebook, he only uses it for hw

Most enthusiastic professor in my entire undergraduate and graduate life. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is a must as he covers so much in each class.
