Comment:
he is a terrible teacher. like everyone says he talks about himself in class. the problem is he gets worse every year. now he doesn't teach at all, just talks about himself the entire time. The book will not save you either, his tests are too long to take in the time alloted. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! believe me, it will only end in anger/tears!

Comment:
Dr. Gart is a very smart and friendly older guy. He talks a lot about his past experience as a banker in New York and certainly knows a lot about banking. If this is interesting or boring depends on you. He is very helpful, exams are very fair. Sometimes he appears to be a little bit confused and honestly I would suggest him to retire soon.

Comment:
Terrible teacher... 90% of the class is him babbling about his past experiences with famous people and the other 10% you would THINK involves teaching but no, it involves trying to figure out how to log onto a PC not to mention turning on a document camera/projector. His tests are terribly hard considering he doesn't teach at all

please avoid this class if you want to major or learn something in finance. I guess chaudry is much better. The only thing you learn is his stories about his rich friends

Comment:
Mr Gart is an older guy and sometimes gets distracted with his young memorizes.Half the class u will hear stories about his family. He claims to be a millionaire when he retires and how many big shots he know, invited to party with McCain?idk. Nice older guy but doesnt really teach finance to the core.

Comment:
Tells stories of the old days in class. Talks about his former cancer, catheter, old age, autistic grandson, banker job 30s of years ago, etc... Tests are literally cut, pasted then copied which makes things hard to understand. Test taken on scantron sheet was improperly HAND-graded resulting in incorrect grades. Collecting a paycheck. That's all.

dr gart is a real nice guy and I enjoyed listening to him tell his stories and to be honest the class isn't that hard. If you really want to understand finance I would take someone else for lower level finance classes then take dr gart in the higher levels

Too many stories no learning. Only teaches whenever the hell he wants to. We learn more about his lifestyle than the class itself if I were u I would look at taking this class wit another prof.

He is a very nice guy. But he tells unrelated stories that put you to sleep. Even worse he is very unorganized. I srongly recommend keeping track of your grade because he wont.

He's a good guy and if youre a good student you'll get a good grade. His stories are funny and he makes it interesting, although the material isn't easy, he atleast makes class somewhat enjoyable.

All he teaches in the class is BS. All his personal experiences. Who Believes in that....S***. If you are self learner, take his class and prepare everthing yourself.

All I learned in 310 is how his wife likes salmon and he doesn't and he can't understand how she can eat salmon. That screwed me over for every FIN class above 310, but he is funny to listen to. He spits when he talks, so sit in the back. Pretty outlandish stories, seems like a decent guy.
