Prof is a genius! You have to be able to understand how he thinks, but so much to learn from him. Keep taking classes with him just to learn more. Absolutely brilliant guy! He's our money buddy.

Good teacher. This class was to go over cases and we didn't. We went over the same thing every day. I was bored. He was ok. I think he was distracted because his family was france and he had a conference in rome to go to.

He does not teach. Yes you'll pass the class with an A but you won't learn anything. For our summer II he cut the classes from 5 weeks to 2 weeks. it was crazy!!!!

Comment:

This class was a total waste of time! He didn't solve any problem and gave us take home exams. I didn't learn anything from this class. He simply puts the power points on the board and starts talking without explaining anything clearly. Avoid him if you want to learn something.

Comment:

He does not really teach. He does not work problems in class or give correct answers to problems You have to read the book on your own in order to pass. He doesn't fail you if you show some interest in your grade. I would not take him again!!

In 2006, I decided to tack on a Finance degree in addition to my Accounting degree. I made a B, but had trouble concentrating, lol. Hot prof. who was super into market trends. You have to use your brain for this class. It's not just a regular "follow the textbook" course.

Comment:

He's a nice enough guy, but I learned nothing, he's not good at teaching. most tests are open book/notes, many are take home. uses test bank and so the exam questions are tough, not exactly what is covered in class. little studying required since exams are open book.

Although it is hard to learn from him, you still pick up some decent information from him not in the book.

Very nice teacher, but I've been mainly learning by myself through a lot of reading. The book were using sucks (it's hard to find clarity in it), but it's not the teachers fault. He's planning on changing the book next year, so future students should have it easier. He mainly talks about current market trends & applies it to the chapters discussed

Comment:

The book was awful and the prof was the same. U of H Downtown should be ashamed to have this guy "teaching" and representing them. I share the same experience as others who have had a bad experience. Bottom line, I learned very little from this guy or because of this guy. Isn't a university about learning? Not so in this case.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Can’t understand him. Tests are from the test-bank so they are very hard. He doesn’t show you how to solve problems and the only people who like him are the ones who cheated in is class to get an A. Don’t take this teacher…he doesn’t even curve by 1 point. Total joke!

Comment:

If you want a for sure passing grade take him...he doesn't fail anybody. If you want to really learn the material don't take him because he is totally incapable of teaching others. We had so many math problems and he never worked one on the board. I would never ever ever take him again. HE SUXS!
