Comment:

Overall I thought this professor was terrible, he never shows up to class on time he is very unclear. I do not recommend taking this course with him. Although I do find the course information interesting. He makes the material very difficult to understand.

Comment:

Is one of the smartest professors on campus. If you can prove you excel in Finance he will take very good care of you and help place you into the world of Finance. His Exams are challenging bc. they're straight from the book, but in class he teaches something different. He likes to show off how he can derive equations to the 4th decimal place.

Great classes, great professor, great guy - but not so great if you'rean idiot or if you can't "do math." Very knowledgable, class isa lot of work - very quantitative but well worth taking.

Great guy, very intelligent. Tests are really hard. Only two grades: midterm and final. But tries to help students out a lot. B is like 60 or above.

Comment:

This prof. gives next to impossible questions for you to solve out of the book. Then you go over the answers the night before the exam, so there is no time to prepare. However, he did curve high so if you aveage from 50 to 65 you will ge a B. If you average 66-89 you get a B+. Avoid him. He should goto FredieMac repeat Kellerman's action.Good luck

Comment:

He will teach you the potential of the West Virginia investment strategy. On a more serious note, Dr. Peterson is very knowledgable on the subject and will teach you how to apply concepts to real life situations. He has a compasion for teaching finance and it shows in the classroom.

Comment:

I dont know why everyone thinks this guy is so hard. His tests are actually really easy if you spend time studying. He doesnt give you any formulas for the test so you better be able to remember them. As long as you do the practice problems you should be fine.

He's not THAT bad. He can grade tough at times but the material is somewhat difficult for beginners if you don't put the time into it. He's helpful.

Comment:

Completely arrogant. Stares at the board for two minutes solving equations in his head, only getting it right 75% of the time, to impress the class then decides because he can do it no one should need a calculator for the tests. He doesn't even use "easy" numbers either, the hardest part of his class is doing long division. Absolutely ridiculous.

Want to Scam the government? Take Mountain Dew! I mean Jeff! This dude is a good teacher, and believes in Free Market theory...but NOT GRAVITY. HE FORCES THE FLUID DOWN HIS WATER BOTTLE WITH HIS HAND! If you live in the Town of Kill Buck good luck taking his class, you will probably fail. sorry

If you want to really know finance or expect to get a job in finance, this is the guy to get. I would highly advise taking Jeff for anything he teaches. The Options class is especially good
