ECON3800-Financial Economics. Poor at explaining, prone to tangents. Very little instruction was given on how to do the excel assignments. Textbook is not necessarry.

Amazing prof!!! If I could take 4 years of Kuan as my prof I would. He is extremely helpful in explaining the material and is willing to slow down with the material in an individual doesn't understand or isn't that good at calc. He is interested the student's well being and gives great feed back for the stock analysis report. I highly recommend him

Comment:

Kuan is probably good at financial theory (he has tenure), but he isn't good at explaining it. He has a thick Chinese accent and doesn't speak good English, his lessons don't flow logically, and he goes on tangents that are confusing. He doesn't explain anything in $ terms, only using math symbols and equations. I had to teach myself most of 4250.
