Comment:

He is eerily similar to Melvin (I'm going to burn the building down) from Office Space. Either that or an elf on growth hormones. That aside, he is 100% incohereant and confusing in class. I found (unfortunately late in the semester) that if you see him after class he becomes much more clear and you actually LEARN something. It was his first semester teaching when I had him, so maybe he has gotten better, but I doubt it. You get to have your formulas in front of you on tests, but choose someone else.

Comment:

so freaking boring i almosted stabbed myself with my pen. other than that the class is not that bad,no homework and you get a notebook paper size cheat sheet for the test. the test is a little difficult but he scales. the numerical part of the test is his worksheets he hands out and the non-numerical is very hard to answer unless you are supersmart

Comment:

Took his class at night and it was long and horrible. Zero interaction with students, never asked if anyone had questions; if you did question him, he would essentially grow impatient with you. Exams very difficult, but cheat sheet does help a little. Don't expect him to clarify anything from text.

Funny guy, but horrible to listen to. He lectures until the second class ends, that being in nite class! Its pretty torturous. However you get a cheat cheap for both exams...but theres only 2 exams so you need to do well.

Comment:

This robot, I mean man, drones on for the full night class, thats 2.5 hours people. Sounds like a book on tape and does not relate to the students at all. Be prepared for no interaction in class along with extremely hard tests. He does curve alot and give a cheat sheet though.

Tries to be a good teacher, but doesn't happen. Boring classes, knows his stuff, doesn't relate to the students well. Hard exams, he gives review sheet helps a lot, lets u have a cheat sheet. Willing to help, goes too fast! Scales a lot but will need it

Very good professor. Must be willing to learn it ALL though. Hard tests, but are scaled. Let's you make a two sided, full page cheat sheet for test with ANYTHING you want to write on it. He's always available for extra help.

Comment:

I heard he teaches differently every semester, but overall he does give a review sheet (the numerical probelms will be very the same but the non-numerical are much more in dept than what he gives you on the re-view). He relates his finance to economics.
