This is one of the toughest courses I've taken to date, but definitely the most valuable! There were a ton of case assignments (~1/week) - but you learn a ton! He's also super helpful if you go to see him after class. Take this class in your last semester

This guy actually cares about the students, but I think he loves finance so much it becoming unhealthy for him. Super nice guy, but his final exam was brutal. He gave us super easy practice questions, and then the final was like MBA level.

Cute and helpful.

Good prof. But class material is a little difficult.

Andras was very clear in presenting the concepts of this course. If anyone needed help, he'd provide superb help. This class is definitely not a walk in the park but it isn't impossible to do well. Keep up with his notes and practice finals and you'll have a good chance of success. Also, he's frickin' hilarious.

Awesome prof... very helpful and fun to listen to... very enthusiastic about finance and willing to extend to teaching additional info that is fun to hear about in current financial events

Teaches concepts really well and can tell when the class isn't understanding, and will go over concepts again. My only complaint is that he is kind of a doormat (doesn't tell people to be quiet until it get ridiculous). If you do the practice tests, you should do ok.

Oh Andras and your confusing questions about dollarssshhhh. I hate finance and I think I failed it, but I love you and will probably be back next year.

Best prof I've had at the U with the exception of Gordo Lee. Really a class act, goes out of his way to help, easy tests if you try a little. A small amount of effort can go a long ways in this class. Just ride the curve.

Andras is very nice. Really encourages you to ask q's and never hesitates to explain q's in detail. This course is hard though, you need to work for your grade if you're not into finance. Just ride the curve. His assignments are worth really little but do well on them.

I found the class to be very difficult. keep up with assignments, dont leave them till last minute. If you do the assignments yourself and do well you will do well on the midterm. Study hard to the midterm because everyone will get slaughtered. Andras did all he could to keep students interested. Thanks for everything you Hungarian stud.

Wow what a great course. I never knew what finance was all about so was unsure what to expect. It is a tough course, but if you work hard and study and keep up with class material it is so doable. After taking this course I wanted to learn the branches in finance in more detail. The "dollarsh" is adorable.

Wonderful Prof! Extremely helpful and interested in helping you do well. Great sense of humour, very knowledgable. Not an easy class but if you work hard - well worth it! I give Andras my highest rating. My favorite instructor to date!

Andras is the man. You can tell he truly loves teaching. Although there is 400 people in the class he makes it feel very comfortable and hes extremely approachable. Finding help is not a problem, and he answers questions after every lecture slide which was great. Make sure you do well on the midterm because the final was an absolute massacre

This class is probably the hardest course in first year business, but is definately manageable if you keep up. Andras is a great guy, very helpful, but his lecture slides are all over the place and the assignments are far beyond material covered in class. Read the book, do the assignments, and rock the midterm because the final is beyond brutal.

I loved this class, even though its probably the hardest mandatory business class. Marosi was great and EXTREMELY helpful. P.S. I won the chocolates!! :)

Great Pof!Comes across like an ass but is actually really helpful and approachable.Fin 301 is a huge class but he does his best to get to know MANY students and make everyone laugh and feel comfortable.He assumes ppl know a lot though and you really need to keep up in the class or youll for sure fail!Make sure to seek help if you need it!

I wanted to major in finance, & now everytime i hear that word i wanna take a pistol & shoot my brains out. Andras is nice & helpful prof but his exams & homeworks are impossible for a student taking fin for the 1st time. I wish he made exams simple so that students can apply what they learned not make them tricky especially 4 the 1st level finance

The lectures were boring and examples were relatively simple. Although assignments were hard the exams were reasonable. The seminars were more relevant to the homeworks than the lectures.

Marosi was a very good prof. He was always available during office hours and made every appointment. The course material is relatively difficult but if you attend the seminars and ask questions you will understand easier.

awesome prof. a lot of ratings say that he oversimplifies things in lecture and most learning is done in seminar and your own study time. This is true, but without the basics that andras teaches in lecture we'd be unable to tackle the harder stuff! Definitely one of the best profs i've had so far.

He shows the students the number for the student distress centre (sucide hotline) on the first lecture. Not a good sign.

While he isn't horrible, his examples are over simplified...Not to say they arent useful b/c you will see them on the MC of his exams. His midterm is way easier then his final and DO NOT waste your time writing a bunch of formulas on cheat sheets. EXAMPLES will suffice. Not that Jesus himself could make finance interesting, Marosi does what he can

Marosi is awesome. Midterm and Final are comparable in difficulty to the practice exams he gives you. This class is exactly what it should be for an intro Finance class.

I thought he was great! explained everything.. class is a little dry but He really tries to make it interesting. loved how he tried to learn our names and his terrible fat jokes! :)

Andras is a decent guy. He is personable and willing to help you. A big negative for Andras is his lack of experience in the "Real World". All of his work experience has taken place in universities. It is strange that he is trying to teach us applications of finance when he has never applied his own knowledge.

Andras is like Darth Vader. The entire time you hate him until the very end when you realize he's not such a bad guy- it's was just the evil empire (or in this case, finance 301) that made him do evil things. Hopefully you make it through the course without him revealing that he's your father. Work hard and you'll do fine.

Yeah Fin 301 is hard, let's all just get over it. Andras really cares about his students (how many profs take their free time to memorize 200+ names) and their level of understanding, but that doesn't mean he needs to make the course easy. He is very approachable and makes himself available when you need help. Great Prof! Nice guy!

Great Prof! Just do all the homeworks, then you should do well on the exams! Make sure you attend the seminars, they are really helpful :)

He's extremely helpful, and treats his students with respect and dignity. The class is tough, but I found it to be a cakewalk compared to calculus. Great professor, nice guy, liked the pop culture references in the assignments too!

Excellent excellent prof! Explains the material crystal clear & always available for help. Very helpful discussion board,questions being answered constantly and quickly. Do all the works and it will not be so hard to get an A, since he'll adjust the grade to match the class average, and your score just magically goes up. And yes, he's beautiful ^^

Awesome prof! Looks like a grown up McLovin, with a charming accent go boot. Very knowledgeable and down to earth, very approachable. Material is not the easiest, but like it's been said, work hard and you'll do fine. Highest recommendation!

Awesome prof, hard class. Absolutely hilarious at times. Really likes Coke Zero. Pay attenting, go to every class, and you'll do fine.

He is the best and cutiest prof ever. He has great attitude towards not only his career but also his life. I am sure you can be easily influenced by his attractive personality and humous talking. You will never regret to take his class.

Hard assignments, harder exams - but there are no surprises on the exams and they are very fair, just difficult. MT average 70%. Final average 59%. But he scales it all so it's fine. Vader himself is pretty cool and extremely helpful, especially in person. Still, his lectures could be clearer - hard to pay attention in those. Seminars are KEY.

I really like the guy, he had incredible enthusiasm for the subject. My only complaint is that the notes did not explain the formulas, which were scattered everywhere. My advice is to keep your formula sheet updated with a description of what each formula is. It might sound tedious but it saves a major hassle down the road.

Andres is a pretty nice guy, lectures were alright, boring at times, but what did you expect..its finance. For lectures,like everyone says, its alot more simplified than the assignments and final.The final was BRUTAL, not to mention it was super LONG too.

Such a cute prof. Such a helpful guy, I agree his assignments and final are hard but if you go to him he'll help you so much. Best prof. Not his fault the material is hard but he does his best to help you understand it if you ask him.

To start- the course is hard. That said, he helped make it interesting. Homework is much harder than class examples, but go to seminar and you'll be ok. Andras is enthusiastic and entertaining, and his tests aren't as bad as you think they'll be. He convinced me to major in Finance.

He is really helpful. He encourages all his student to ask him or other TA for help on their homeworks or exams.

First, the material is difficult at times. But homework assignments are nightmares. Make lots of friends.

This Hungarian Hunk is one of the best profs at the U of A!! Extremely helpful outside of class. He will give up his lunch hour to help you out! Assignments and exams are difficult but he gives tons of hints on the discussion board. Funny during lectures and loves his coke zero. And he is definitely NOT darth vader!!

If your good with numbers and common sense, this course isnt that hard, if you find it hard though, marosi is extremely helpful, classes are a bit boring, you should read your text or else. Andras is a GREAT PROF and quite funny. Highly recommended,

Great prof! He doesn't rush through material and will always stop to answer questions. Its not an easy class by any stretch of the imagination, but if you put in your dues, you'll do good. Definitely try to take the class with friends because it makes doing questions a lot easier. Practice the Homework over and over!

András is one of the best teaching professors in business. Approachable, helpful as well as interesting and funny in class. He wants you to develop an intuitive knowledge rather than regurgitate concepts.

Andras is a great professor. He's kind, approachable and cares about how his students do. If he taught any other course, he would be the best professor at the U of A. Sadly, he teaches Finance, one of the 9 stages of hell. So, yeah. Attend classes, ask questions, and get help. Your gonna need it...

Great teacher. Really loves his job, very interactive. Material is not *that* difficult if you put the work in. Do the suggested problems and read the text. His homework assignments draw on a lot of theory from the text and are challenging. Suggest having a buddy or two to bounce answers off of. Give the assignments an honest effort by yourself.

People know him by a first name basis but give him the MOST respect in the faculty. He knows people what want to I-BANK will take his class and gut it out to impress but he'll make you work hard for the grade. His help sessions are awesome in the sense he will point you in a direction to make you think. The best professor of the program!

Like everyone else said, difficult course but he know that and tries his best to help you if you ask for it. Be sure to focus on the homework questions when studying for exams and use the resources he provides (discussion board, seminars, office hours). If you goto class he gives some hints as to what kind of questions to expect on the exam as well.

He is a really good professor!! His class is fun! You can learn a lot in his class! He is very popular. His office hrs are very effective! He is willing to help everyone!

Had him for the seminar. Great prof. He was clear and good at explaining things. The lecture slides were pretty good as well. Class time is very rushed however.

So if you don't like group projects, skip this one. It is group case studies with one presentation per group. It's not too hard, but annoying. The tests are kind of hard because lecture material is minimal and highly spread out between presentations so you forget a lot. Marosi is a nice dude with some charm, but unfortunately the class still sucks.

Great Professor!

One of the best profs in Finance. Had a lot of fun with the cases. He is very petient and helpful.

Tests are pretty straight forward. If you've done your assignments well (on your own) you won't have an issue with the course. He is funny most times and makes lectures interesting. Has strong views on various issues!

Excellent professor. He explains complex concepts so well he makes them look easy. He is always available for students. He really prepare you well for exams as well. Make sure you do all the assignments and homeworks.

He is the best prof, very nice and helpful. His lecture is also very interesting and hilarious. I have never wanted to miss his class. Previously, I am very scared of finance. But after taking his class, I love finance so much.

Really good professor. He's quite helpful during office hours and gives good examples in class. He's also quite funny at times! I recommend Andras!

Class is challenging. Midterm was pretty tough (average was 61%) and the homework are quite long and tricky also. His lectures are great. He obviously knows his stuff and is willing to answer any questions you have while he takes his Coke Zero drink break. :)

Finance 301 is by no means an easy class but Andras is an awesome prof. If you need help with homework or do not understand something in his lectures his office hours are extremely helpful. I did bad on the first midterm, but saw Andras for help on the second midterm and ended up getting an A on it. The guy is great take his class!

Overall I hated Finance 301 but Marosi made me enjoy and see the bright side of it and how interesting it can be. As others have said, marks went up after visiting his office hours. He's a fantastic man and I have so much respect for him and his caring for his students. Lectures are slow but he explains well. Take Finance 301 with him if you can!

Because FIN 301 is a big class, sometimes he goes so slowly to take care for all the people but overall his class is good.

Andras is one of the best profs at the UofA. He teaches well and is quite funny, makes the class as interesting as can be. The class is not easy by any means, but if you put the time in to understand the concepts you will do fine as his tests are fair. Average should be around 60-70. His assignments are a good gauge of how well you know it all.

The ideal professor. Doesn't throw any big curveballs, what he teaches is what you will see on the exams. Usually one or two very tricky questions on exams to build the curve. Clear speaker, relaxed guy. There is also a huge group project in this class. Material is challenging.

Three tips: attend the lectures! Andras make them quite enjoyable. Do the homework over and over until you get it. Still don't understand? Read the textbook or ask.

For myself personally, i knew finance was going to be my worst class. But, with the amazing help from Professor Marosi I ended up doing pretty well!! DO any and all questions he assigns and if you are stuck or need extra help GO SEE HIM!!! I made many appointments with him but it really helped me understand the material! such a nice prof!!

Very good professor! He is a great guy, and really easy to talk to. He cares a lot about his students. However this class is mainly group projects on case studies. Did not enjoy doing the case studies, and found exams difficult since there is not a lot of lecture material.

Great course. A lot of case discussions, which really help you learn how to apply the concepts into real-world problems. Andras himself is an awesome prof. He is very talented at teaching. He is good at explaining difficult materials because he usually goes slowly and writes on the board. He is also very helpful and knowledgeable. An ideal prof.

Andras is great for learning but definitely not an easy A. I would highly recommend Andras. Accessible to answer questions, lectures are interesting and helpful. Assignments are tough. Midterm and final both had a few surprising and tough questions. You have to work hard for a good grade, but still really enjoyed his class.

A+ prof Here's what you need to succeed in this class: 1) attend lectures and take notes (better yet, bring a printout of slides with you to class and annotate) 2) seek out marosi during office hours. he is extremely helpful for clarifying difficult concepts 3) pick a good group for the group presentation (mine pretty much gave up half way through)

Andras is probably the best finance prof in the UofA undergraduate business school. FIN 422 is an awesome class and I would recommend everyone that takes this class takes it with him. Awesome at explaining concepts in lecture, and is accessible outside of class to clear up questions. Would take every finance taught by Andras if there was more

Professor Marosi is an A+ professor. His course was challenging, however, that is to be expected with Capital Investment & Budgeting (422). He was available for any questions and takes a genuine interest in your financial literacy. I wish the UofA finance faculty takes notes from this guy. Best finance professor in UofA by far!!!

this guy is really good and i mean REALLY good at introducing guest speakers and not much else. he should work in sales. or continue introducing guest speakers. great enthusiasm. bus201 sucks though, good luck have fun

Really nice guy however the class was errr interesting. Lots and lots of work (including group work yuck). Lectures are not worth going but seminars are useful for the projects

I put the least effort into this course and did the best. Andras is hilarious, but he only taught one lecture so there isn't much to base off of.

Professor Marosi really cares. Not only did he meet with us outside office hours but he answered questions so well over email. This class is extremely hard for a lot of people and having a professor who cares this much makes a huge difference - especially in an online environment! For real if you have him as a prof - you are lucky!

Andras was so fantastic! He voluntarily met with me after office hours (on Saturday no less) to help me figure out some complex finance questions. He was super patient and explained everything really well. Definitely take his class if you have the chance.

Had him as a prof for bus201 (he did one lecture lol) and a seminar leader for fin301 and he really impressed me for finance. Explains concepts so well and you can tell he really cares. If you can go to his seminars do it! Really great guy and knowledgable. I didn't go to his office hours but I know he's very accessible.

Andras is the best finance prof I've had. He is a deliberate lecturer, and doesn't waste time. That said, manages to give the class a laugh or two. Assigns a project which actually gives you a legitimate modelling/equity research experience, and lays out expectations for exams crystal clear. Don't expect an easy A though, you have to work for it.

Very clear and respectable prof. His seminar's were very useful and has a great sense of humor. One of my favorite professors for sure.

Andras is very caring for his students, and overall a stellar educator. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help his students and in my opinion, he is one of the best finance professors in the business school. His tests are also very fair which is hard to find. Don't let FIN301 reviews alter your opinion. Take his class!

Finance is a hard major with math, memorization and alot of concepts, but good professors make it more bearable. Andras is really one of the best Finance professors i've had as a FIN major and I always look for classes he teaches as his lectures are always high quality, organized, and in-depth. If you are taking any FIN classes, look for him.

Possibly the best class I have ever taken, highly recommend to gauge future career opportunities as this class covers a vast range of financial approaches. Andras is really suited for this class, and I am glad that he's the one teaching it.

One of the GOATs of the business faculty, take this guy if you can. Tough course but super funny, caring, and I found his teaching style to be great. Tough group project and exams, but generous grading.

Andras is a solid finance prof - his lectures are organized and insightful, though the workload is demanding. Using Unstuck study, ChatGPT, and the course textbook made exam prep much easier.

Took several classes with professor Marosi and he was the GOAT. Enough said.

Probably the best class and professor that I've taken so far. Tests were very fair and he gave a lot of resources to help with preparation. Large group project which is very realistic and interesting to learn from. Honestly, no bad things to say he really cares about his students and the content he's teaching which shows throughout his course.
