Comment:

Professor Z is really nice, caring and will go beyond for you to help understand Finance. He will explain it to you really thorough. For the exams, practice the questions papers he gives you and learn the computation because it is finance. His class can get a little hard to focus because he keeps on talking but he just wants you to learn take him!

Comment:

Dr. Z is the man.. He makes Finance interesting which is hard to do. Will answer any questions you have. There are 4 company assignments you do with a partner that are easy. Midterm and final I suggest you do everything that he suggests you to do on blackboard for prep he wont tell you this but they are conceptual and computational

Comment:

The class requirements were simple: 2 exams & 5 1-3 page writing assignments. For the assignment you can pick 1 partner in the class to work with. There was no formal HW graded besides the writing assignments. Lectures were good and focused on the test material. He really likes this subject and was excited during every lecture. He is a nice guy.

Comment:

Even though he seems a kind and patient teacher, his class is very very boring and illogical. He is teaching excitedly but keeping listening to his class is really hard. PPT is not clear and useful and he often repeat the same thing for many times, and often end class late, not caring about students' time.

Comment:

He doesn't even pretend to care about his students. He may know his field very well,The lecture is fine, but this guy act like has low EQ and very indifference. If you didn't do well, then it must be your fault. He is not a good professor. He is a poor mentor. He is a good teaching machine though.

Comment:

Dr. Zychowicz is a really kind man. He's very funny and he's a good teacher (although his lectures were occasionally a little boring, but it's Finance). The tests weren't easy, but they were FAIR. Got an A in the class. Definitely a low stress course. You're not going to get anyone better for Finance 101, so take him!

Comment:

He's a great professor who can explain one topic in 6 different ways to help everyone understand, the only problem is that he does explain it 6 ways whether or not anyone is confused. He's a dry lecturer, but a smart guy, more than a fair grader, and tests are easier problems than the hw's. he doesn't try to trick you at all, very straightforward

Comment:

Pr. Z. definitely has a different style than Pr. Rai, did not go over h.w. problems in the class, although had the solutions posted on the Blackboard. I had to work hard for my "A" but that made it even more satisfying and memorable. I have learned a lot and suggest taking Pr. Z. but being prepared for a lot of work.

Comment:

Take Dr. Viswanathan if you could for investments at graduate level. I had a much better experience with him then Dr.Z. Dr. Viswanathan goes little fast but wont let you behind if you tell him to stop. Dr Z thinks everybody has 5 plus of experience on Wall Street and expects you to know everything, Wheres Dr. Viswanathan when you need him.

Comment:

Dont take this professor if weak in Fin 203 because if you ask alot questions like I do he will think you stupid and and when you go to him for extra help he'll be very cocky towards you. I recommend taking Dr. Viswanathan he doesnt treat those need extra help in Finance, doesnt treat you like**** like Dr.Z does, I cant wait until semester ends.

Comment:

Dr. Z is the man. If u take finance, this is the guy to learn from. Hes real nice, and teaches well. Sure he looks a little wierd, and his voice kinda sounds like Piglet from winnie the pooh, but he teaches a hard subject with humility and some humor. Thats all.

Comment:

As long as you do all the homeworks and participate, it is not that bad. This is the best prof to take for FINANCE by far. 3 tests and a short paper on the stock market only worth 15% of grade. He's not picky.
