Comment:

I thought this class would be a cakewalk, but it's pretty hard. Have to memorize practically all of the complicated formulas, all short answer/problem questions, tests take full time allotted to complete, & our class had to beg for study guides that didn't end up being that helpful. All I can say is study super hard cuz there is NO extra credit!

Comment:

This is a very difficult class. He speaks very quickly and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Sometimes he doesn't fully explain the concepts. Read the textbook at least twice and memorize all calculations. Expect a lot of group work.

I really enjoyed the class. It was one of the best MBA classes I've had at WSU. Hard exams but I think he grades easy on the cases.

I agree with the previous guy, don't cheat because he will get really mad. On the other hand, I did like the class and never had a problem hearing him.

Comment:

I really liked the class but DO NOT CHEAT! He caught 3 groups cheating on 2 different HBS cases and I thought he was going to explode in class, his head turned completely red. Plus it pisses me off that I workded hard on those cases and all those groups did was copy from the internet. I'm glad they were caught. They should throw them out.

Comment:

His exams have math and short answer. If you miss something in the essay its automatice -3 even if you have everything else. Take Money & Banking before this class and it will help you pass the 1st couple exams. Class is easier than some other Finance electives. His T/F are tricky on the 2nd exam. Have to attend class if you want to do well.

Class wasn't very hard. He is a nice guy who seems willing to help you. Gives you the old exams from the last tim he taught the class. Basically, if you look at the old tests and know how to answer it the opposite way, class is pretty easy. Learned a lot!

Comment:

Good professor, if you struggle in his class and you show an effort he will help you. Gives reviews for all test study them and you should be successful. Be sure to study the written questions and be able to answer them if they are asked or presented in the opposite manner in which they are presented because that is how the test will be.
