Comment:
A solid professor, who cares about you and your future. I found him to be a little winded with his stories but that just broke up the monotony. Highly recommended. Always had a smile and good attitude. knows his stuff. He does have a little tick in that he says "right" after every sentence. I thought it was funny.

Comment:
Three tests, one small project and one major project. He gets sidetracked during lectures often but he's very engaging. I did not purchase the textbook. He posts example tests on Blackboard and the tests are almost exactly the same. Watch the powerpoints he uploads as well.

Comment:
If you have the chance, take this class from someone else. His lectures do not pertain to his tests or assignments. Homework is especially difficult since he doesn't go over problems in class. There's a big project- but he grades easy- will definitely boost your grade. It's a great class- just take it from someone else.

Struggled slightly with staying on topic, however when he did veer off topic it still pertained to Finance. Very willing to help a student.

Comment:
He has an inability to stay on topic and rambled about the stock market and his life for large amounts of time, instead of teaching us how to work the problems. Provided practice exams but made the problems on the tests twice as hard, which he never showed us how to do. Therefore, this class was difficult and confusing!! Lots of homework too!

He is very knowledgable, cares if you learn, and loves to help you out if you have questions. I took this in a pre-session and really enjoyed it. He almost made me want to change my major to Finance! You will not regret taking this class from LeCompte. He makes the class very interesting and enjoyable.

Basically do what he tells you to do, write the paper is all he requires as part of his co-op over what you do at work. As long as you write the paper you pass the Co-Op and obtain an elective credit in finance.

Comment:
I am sure that he knows finance, and has expert knowledge but his ability to sticj to topic is severly lacking. He does not do nearly enough in class problems, and the concepts are vaguely related to how they apply in the real world. Great guy, funny, and interesting but needs to bring teaching down to student level.

Nice guy who is willing to work with you if you need help. Class is pretty easy, study the old tests and make sure you have a BAII calculator.

Comment:
Nice guy. Very knowledgeable about field. You need to practice problems in book to do well. Has past tests that WILL help you out. Only drawback is that when he works examples he sometimes gets the wrong answers and doesn't realize it and nobody in the class realizes it either. Could be confusing if you don't know what's going on.

Funny guy and he is also very helpful. He has a tendency to mumble and get way off track which makes the class a little difficult. The past tests he gives you are nothing like what is going to be on the test so study them limitedly.

Presession was tough, but he compensated for it. Very interesting class. I would like to have him again. Gives you past tests to study from, so you know what to expect at test time. Not a lot of surprises. Great instructor!

Great teacher who helps students. Comes off as if every little detail is important, but is lenient when it comes to grading.
