Comment:

Felt like fin 123 and 150 were almost the same material. Not the greatest professor but he let you out early every class. Exams are fair, usually based on class notes and short movies. Overall a very manageable class

Comment:

He's an alright teacher. Sometimes he gets really distracted and goes off on a tangent.He hands out a lot of reading material in class.The textbook is a good supplement because if he writes something that you cant read, which he does a lot, or dont understand you can look it up in the textbook.Tests are pretty easy and he give u an overview b4hand

Sometimes he is all over the place but if you take notes in class and study his review sheet before the test you are good. Usually he is very chilled and make jokes. He worked at merill lynch so this guy def deserves some respect

The best professor in the finance depatrment, by far. Go to class. Take good notes. Read notes before exam and get an A. That simple, and you learn a lot.

Comment:

Conway is a very good professor. He knows his stuff and rightfully so because he worked in Wallstreet. And the great thing with him is he explains things clearly so you thoroughly understand it. The only problem I had is he spends about 10 mins before each class talking about things that aren't related to the class at all.

Comment:

Conway is the man!! Take him for as many classes as you can, you won't regret it. Optional quiz (3 or 4) and two tests which are kinda hard. Take Conway and where a Yankees hat every couple of days and you are in. Class is fun and flies by, probably because he starts late and ends early

Comment:

He is easily one of the best professors at Hofstra he is so cool, the nicest guy. You dont realize how much you have learned and actually remember becuase his class is so laid back. He jokes around all the time and goes on tangents, he starts class late and end early but he gets everything he needs to done. Take him you wont be sorry

Comment:

He absolutely loves wall street. He rates everyone according to wall street elegibility. He has a good humor and is straight foward. Tries to throw in a couple curves on tests. He also uses tests from previous years to the present which doesn't help you to learn but just helps you to cheat. Just take his challange and you will do fine. I took 2 classes with him and he is great. Money and investment and the capital class
