Excellent professor! You won't need the textbook and his tests are fair. Attendance isn't even mandatory but recommended. I am taking him again this upcoming semester.

Very Intelligent professor, makes the class interesting. The text book is not useful. I only studied lecture notes. Attending class is recommended and he is very helpful outside of class. Workload is decent.

He is difficult to understand sometimes and the class is a bit unstructured. Do not buy the book, you will not need it. Attend class regularly and take lots of notes if you want a B. overall good class.

Worst teacher I have ever had. No feedback on grades. Gets off topic a lot. Makes class more difficult than it has to be. He is a very smart professor but I would avoid taking him!

Would not take again. Nice and funny guy, not the best teacher. He does not stay on topic ever, and expects you to know a lot. His tests are difficult and about the only grade in the class, besides a paper that he grades really tough. He does do shaded grading so that is helpful. I earned a C but got a B.

I enjoyed taking his class. Very knowledgeable about the subject. If you are interested in finance then take his class. The tests were hard.

He does not put any power points up on D2L, so you have to show up to class for notes. Goes off on tangents in the middle of class, so really easy to get lost in the lecture. Smart guy knows his stuff, just does not know how to teach it. Would be better off taking it with another professor or online. Study hard you will end up with a B or C.

He knows what he is talking about. If you want a b it is very obtainable. If you are trying to learn good luck you better teach yourself.

Partha is a really smart guy. You won't need the book but make friends with someone who has it cause it is helpful to read. Be sure not to miss any classes toward the last test cause that was probably the hardest test I've ever taken... But he is a good teacher..

He was fair and helped students. This class you didn't need to buy the book but sometimes it would come in handy for some of the problems. Tests are not too difficult just know what you are doing.

He's a good professor to take. Gives 6 small quizzes 15-20 MC worth 10% each and a non cumulative exam worth 30%. he gives you one page one side for cheat sheet & provides PPT on D2L. Idk what the others are talking about but most of his answers are in the book so I would def buy it, read it & study & you'll get a B easily

This was a pretty tough class for me. I think the only grades for the class are from the mid-term, final, and term paper. He is definitely very enthusiastic about the topic. He adds slides with jokes into his power points, which I thought was great. He is also very helpful.

He's a pretty good teacher. You NEVER have to read in the book, just do the problems. For exams you can use a cheat sheet. So basically show up to class and copy the HW problems he goes over.I though the tests were easy, exactly like the HW problems and mostly M/C.Learned some real life stuff in here. Time spent outside of class=1hr before test

He goes over every example multiple times and is very thorough. Test questions are exactly like notes, and formula sheets are allowed for both tests. Tells jokes to lighten the mood and moves slowly through the material so that everyone understands what is going on.
