Comment:

GO TO LECTURE and make sure he knows your name/face, he's been known to bump grades. HW isn't graded, but very similar to Exams, some exactly the same with different #'s. He is the only Prof. for FIN 205, so take his 201 so you can get used to his style before FIN 205. FIN 205 will be impossible if you take ACC 201 w/ another prof.

Comment:

The WORST professor I have ever had. Goes on too many tangents during class. Very bad at explaining concepts in class. Very hard to know how to study for tests because they are all multiple choice. Do the homeworks to study for the test.

Comment:

Biggest waste of time. Didn't learn anything about accounting with him besides his rants of how much his life sucks. If I were the University I would probably fire him except he probably hides all the bad numbers and raise in tuition for them. Oh yeah, if you love learning through transparencies in a large auditorium, he's perfect.

Very knowledgeable professor. Excited in the material. Taught very well. Was available meet and go over questions on the material outside of class. Test questions were based on the lecture notes. Easy to do well in this class if you went and did the problems assigned.

He really care about his students and want them to learn but has standards. The notes are overwhelming but his format is straightforward. It was one of my favorite classes at the school. I'd like to take a class with him again.

Comment:

REALLY energetic prof. he even admits that ACC material is dry, but he makes the best of it. Even though he has over 150 students a semester, he makes it his duty to get to know every last one of them--->he's very passionate about teaching and is an overall great person. Tests are right out of notes.

Extremely boring class and likes to call on random people. Reads off his lecture notes on the overhead and talks way too loudly. Subject is way too boring to get through reading the book.

Comment:

he is all over the place when he talks, not too interesting, tries to get really into the lectures but they are still boring and confusing, tells random, unrelated stories over and over. likes to learn his students names and get to know you, gives out lecture notes, tests are all multiple choice.

the man loves to teach and he DOES care if you learn or not which is good...class can be real boring...he's easy to understand though and he gives out notes and his tests are multiple choice...very similar to ECO 211 if you've taken that before

Comment:

Makes an effort to get to know each student, gives great lecture notes, and very fair exams. The course is a very general overview of finance that makes a few too many generalizations, but Wodjat does a good job teaching it. Occassional tangents can be strange, but he's a nice guy and a great prof.

Wojdat is a really sharp guy who cares a lot about teaching. He works hard to make sure he gets the material across to his classes. Accounting and Finance can be boring, but Wojdat makes it fun!

He's an awesome prof. It seems he spends a long time preparing before his lectures and he gives out his notes as well which makes studying easier. He's also a generally funny and cool guy.
