Comment:

As someone who is not a finance major, I appreciated the subject. He is a good professor, understands the class is a requirement for most, and wants us to succeed. Two midterms and a final, plus homework and a 10 page report. Expected to fail and got an A. Added bonus, his looks and sense of humor alone kept my attention through the lecture.

Comment:

Finance truly isn't fun, but he curved the two midterms and final. Plus, had an extra credit assignment that helped raise your overall grade. All the homework was online through Connect, and there was a ten page paper as well, but he's very lenient with it. I only wrote six pages and still got an 88% on it. If you don't like Finance, take Jedediah.

All homework was through connect. Nice and funny professor. 2 midterms and final, both curved. Understanding with homework and given extensions on most assignments. Overall, the material was hard to learn, but curving of the tests helped.

He does understand being a student (not every teacher can do that) He tries to help you yet requires you to work hard as well. He knows his materials well. I have never understood economics, now thanks to him I can understand some stuff. THANKS A LOT!

Comment:

Anybody who doesn't like this teacher really doesn't like economics. He's not hard, he's very consistent, he'll even explain things ad nauseum just so you'll get it. He put aside time early in the morning somtimes to give last minute test prep. I got a B+
