Balla is the man. You can easily make an A in this class if you try in the slightest. Yes, it is a game, and yes you will fail if You leave everything to the last minute...like any class. Duh. If you have an interest in truly mastering your financial potential, take this class.

The entire semester is an elaborate game. Your grade equals the points you earn. If you are organized it can be fun. However, if you are like me and do everything last minute and are disorganized, you may end up failing. The class is very unpredictable.

Great class, lots of fun!! Class was basically a game, which might suck if you are bad at games. You do the homework, you won't have any problem with the class.

Of all the profs here, I expected Balla, the most lovable JBU professor I've known, to be here. Take Basic Econ with him! Ask him to sing and play his guitar! And do your work. :-/
