Take home Mid-Term and Final

Speaks about things that are way above our level. Easy A though.

He is a very nice guy, gives fairly easy exams, reads everything out of the text

hes brillant but pretentious

I can definitely say I learn nothing from his class.

Exams very hard but useful and interesting

Giving you real life example. A very nice guy.

Good, Nice, Perfect

Majority of what he teaches isn't covered in any other class. Tough but good.

Hard ass tests, he is smart, good guy, handsome, group take home midterm/final,

if you pay attention in class, you'll learn a lot and get an A

super easy! pay attention in class and study a little bit before exams= A

As said before, PAY ATTN IN CLASS!! Not easy take home exams.

OOOMPH! Definitely eye candy, but a little difficult though. Take home tests are a challenge, but isnt learning supposed to be challenging?!

One of the best Finance profs at Pace. Bring real life experience to the classroom. Take his class if you are serious about Finance. Problem sets are not easy, but take-home final exam is on the easy side.

Chalenging, interesting, helpfull. Pay attention in class!!

Great class, nice guy.

One HOT TOMALE!! He's pretty difficult, but if you concentrate and try your best, you'll do fine. Take the case-studies seriously!! Don't B.S. him b/c he'll see right through you. Can go off on tangents sometimes. You gotta work for your grade.

Pay attention to what he says. He's a very nice guy but the material is really tough

VERY HOT! I have an easy A. If you listen carefully and know the basic algebra you will have an A. Otherwise you are ****ed up.

Really excellent course. Modern stuff - synthetic CDO's, swaptions, hedge fund convert arb, case studies, etc. Brilliant mind. Really cute too.

Excellent class. Liked the software and case studies. Take this prof for this course.

what a beautiful man, he is so perfect, hot, rich and smart, definately take him. You'll learn alot if you pay attention.

One of the best professor our university has. If you are seriously interested in learning something then thake him only else you'll be pissed off. Will have to work hard.

He is very good at what he teaches. Excellent knowledge and skillset. If you really want to gain a competitive edge and learn something in real life, please take his class. Also be ready to work hard.

finally a teacher with some challanging material.

The best professor ever. The material is great and you will learn very useful information. The tests are take home and by groups. They are not easy, but manageables.

Expert in derivatives/risk management. Excellent course.

This guy is good and he knows it. He is very cocky, even arrogant, yet, I don't find it offensive. He's good at what he does, and that's all there's to it. Take him, work hard, and you'll be fine.

I agree with previous person. Tucker is a little cocky, but he's good in all respects.

Complex subject matter. Smart instructor. A little hard to keep up with.

If he was being cocky, I guess I didn't even notice (or understand) that. His lecture is full of information, yet very difficult to catch up with. I heard him an easy grader, and I'll see that myself by the end of the semester. There's one thing for sure that I loves his time management.

Well organized class. Challanging subject matter. One of my better classes at Lubin.

Such a perfect man, definately know his stuff, why is he wasting his time teaching, he could be out there making millions. Definately take him, you will learn alot and get a good grade cuz he is an easy grader

There's no better way to describe this man. Only two words..beyond perfect! (ODWB)

a bit H ard tests are O kay R eally S mart a lot of E nergy

a very cocky/arrogant fellow. he thinks he's good and that's good for him because no one should think of her/himself as a failure, even if s/he is one. i recommend you guys to take his class just to meet him; to see how people should think of themselves. academically though, i give him a C+.

OMG this guy is so hot and so smart, he is the most perfect, charming man i ever met, cannot wait until the end of the sem to get with him, u should definately take him...the juice is worth the squeez...:)

Brilliant guy. Moves a little too quickly at times. Knows more about the Street than any professor I've seen.

He is the best

Very knowledgeble in a subject and more... If you are serious of being Financial engineer this Prof is a MUST to take...

One-third genius, one-third model, one-third comedian.

The subjet itself is hard, however with a bit of effort you can do well in his class. No midterm, take home and group final. There are however 6 graded homeworks which could be very complicated. Very good looking...

Dr. Tucker is a very difficult prof. However, email him with questions and not at the last second and he is very helpful. I didnt realize this until the final but I was able to nail the final. Get ready to work and be confused, its hard material but worth knowing. I would take him again but I would prepare better before entering his classroom.

Interesting course. Good mix of theory and practice. Easy-going style. Will take his fixed income course too.

A HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE PROF., although he talks the trader's language. Its funny, coz he knows that you cant possibly understand whatz he really trying to say and just expects u to be one of the traders. Had 2 exams, both take home. So, for me, it was a GOOD experience to understand what the derivatives-Options market is all about!

I've taken both courses taught by Dr. Tucker (Fixed Income, Derivatives). Among the best professors at Pace. Material is covered thoroughly, and definitely worth your $. If you're thinking on electives, and you're serious about Finance then Tucker is a MUST. For those underclassmen, looking for a challenge: Fin 301 & 351 with Teall, electives with

Very interesting and contemporary class. Good case studies. Midterm looks time consuming but not too difficult. Technology in classroom is poor. Overall one of the better profs in the MBA program.

Smartest Guy you'll ever meet. This class is tough but so is the subject matter. loves to say "Term of Art". Seems intimidating at first but he is actually very helpful and quite personable. One of Pace's few truely exceptional professors.

Last-minute replacement for Dr. Teall. Slow start. But turning out to be a good course. No exams. Just projects. Group work. But my group is good. Course content is basically learning a series of tools for future course work. REALLY handsome.

Derivatives! Class meets every other week. Great online component that focuses on pricing. Tucker's lectures focus on complex applications/case studies. Real world and why I came to NY. Hull textbook and software are great too. Tight course.

"As a consultant, Dr. Tucker has worked for the United States Treasury Department, the United States Justice Department, Morgan Stanley, LG Securities (Korea), UBS, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, TIAA-CREF, Lazard, Citigroup, Standard & Poor's, and JP Morgan-Chase, among others." I would be cocky too....good luck with ur case

He puts slides online for every class. Only meets every other week. Though I can't imagine he'll be around next semester in light of current events...good guy though

Great professor! Very knowledgable! Good luck with the insider trading case. I know you can win, somehow

Heard he is working for a commodities hedge fund now. I last reached him for a letter of recommendation at [email protected]. Best prof I ever had.

You should remove this person. Former faculty member who has not worked at Pace University for over three years now.

Reading all the materials you can find. If impossible, please go to his office hours because it's really helpful. He is always glad to answer your questions.
