Good Lord, this guy is the worst professor ever! How he found a teaching job at SDSU, I will never know. Your choices are to either teach yourself (very difficult to do with Finance) or work regularly with a private tutor. I chose option 2 and I'm getting an A because of it.

Awful. Just Terrible. I learned nothing. He often gets sidetracked. It seems like he is learning the material as he teaches it. Anyone who read the chapter before class could teach as well as he does. This class is a complete waste of time. It makes me sad to be an SDSU student.

Don't believe previous comment from 1/5/2008 that is just below. It is biased as comes from my wife whom he is trying to steal. She never took his course at SDSU.

Honestly... the worst teacher I have ever taken in my college career. A disgrace to the SDSU business department.

definitely the worst prof ive ever had.very indecisive, doesnt know what he wants from his students & you wont know where u stand in the class til the semesters over.DONT TAKE HIM!his tests r online but its not a good thing cuz they take mor than 10 hrs each.he cant teach and isnt even knowledgeable bout fin.hejust reads off thePublishers pp slides

While Andreev is a terrible professor, I think most people are ignoring the fact this is the easiest upper division class at SDSU. Everyone I know got an A in this class. You won't learn anything, but at least will get a GPA boost out of it.

super boring, does not have his own ppt slides just uses the ones provided by the book so you really don't get a whole lot from showing up to lecture. most work is done online and there is a group paper. you don't have a choice besides him for 326, at least for now.

i hated this class! hw & group paper were simple, 4 quizzes were ok, midterm was a nightmare, the average was mid 50's & he came in giving us crap for ruining his weekend, not our fault he cant teach! final was a like the midterm! he gave us a practice final...with no answers to it! avoid if u can!

if an evaluator from sdsu came last tuesday and see how andrei teaches the class (10 minutes of an item search, calculation that he couldnt solve himself, and the pointless teaching) he will be fired for sure. do not take this class at all cost! you're wasting your time

Guy is clueless. Would scribble illegible notes on board..take u through a problem that he realizes in the end he did wrong...Think you figured something out then you show up to class and start listening to him and question everything you thought you knew. Easy participation points-tests are tricky twists wording-duration and foreign exchange.

This guy is ridiculous. He does not explain his calculations that he covers. When you ask a question it confuses him to the point where he stops the problem. If you correct him he tells you your wrong. Also he would not answer questions on the final. Overall, another disappointing SDSU Finance teacher. I had a B+ on BB and got a C on webportal.

He's a good guy and willing to sit and talk to each student, but his lectures are not clear and his writing on the board may as well be written in code.. There are two different hw links, and only one is graded, and he failed to mention that in the syllabus which cost me a letter grade. I don't recommend his class.

No, just no. Do not take this class it was horrible. I am a very good student and this class was just torture. You cannot understand him, he goes off on terrible tangents and even gets in arguments with kids during class. Worst of all attendance is mandatory.. take someone else, wait a semester if you have to

He explains the sections very bad. He'll spend 20min on something that wouldn't be on the test. He'll spend another 30min explaining how you need to be sharp on the mathematic equations. You need to be "golden" to pass the exams. This is the hardest professor teaching this class.

Annoying instructor. I didn't feel like I was ever learning anything and there was no structure/organization to the classes. Quizzes were random for attendance. Don't take this class. You'll regret it and want to sit in class and write a bad review like me. :-)

Please don't take this class. This person is not a teacher. He spends all his time on power point slides rather than using his own knowledge of finance to teach. He stated and I'm quoting " It's not my job to give you knowledge, just to get through the material. Questions are asked in class and he says "I don't know."

If you want to pass this class or do well in it, take a different professor!!!

I will not recommend him at all. He is terrible professor. He does not explain things right. EXAMS are difficult and plus he does not make his own exams. I am an A student and I am happy that I got a C+ in the class. HE IS TERRIBLE

u need to get all the easy points to make sure u pass at the end (clicker quizzes, hw). doesn't write his own exams, which are really hard. we had to read the text to do online HW but in class he would tell us repeatedly that the text was wrong and to listen to his way instead. argued w/ students during class over dumb things. does not curve class.

My best advice is to choose another professor if you're a business student trying to get your BA 323 credit. His exams do not resemble what's covered in the homework or in his lectures. Homework counts for 20%. He takes attendance by using in-class quizzes which add up to 10% of your grade. HE DOES NOT CURVE. What you get is what you get.

Avoid at all costs. Had to rely on A+ to pass. He takes one to two, 3 question quizzes every class that count for a grade and attendance. 3 exams and 1 final, that is pretty much exam 3. Awful teacher, makes things more confusing than they are. Disrespectful. Only plus: lots of notes for test! But test time is tight. Hw can boost your grade.

Overall a pooly taught class. Lots of reading directly off of PowerPoints and meaning lots learning on your own. No study guides for the exams but you are allowed to use 1 pg of notes. Still difficult when the exams cover 8ish chapters. The class has a lot of potential.

I don't think this teacher has much knowledge about Real Estate Finance. It's hard to learn from someone who doesn't understand the subject. He reads directly off of the powerpoints every class. Powerpoints that he didn't create himself.

Get every point you can for this class. I never did well on the exams but because I went to every lecture to get the clicker points and did well on all the quizzes and hw, I passed the class. The professor is no help at all. If this class is not a requirement for your major, I would suggest not taking this class.

This teacher is the worst teacher I have ever had. He does not make his own exams, and he has standardized powerpoints. The worst thing is that he does not provide any knowledge that can be used during the exam. None of the homework does either. When confronted, he just says "the problem is with the course, not me". He does not even read the exam.

100% objective review. You're going to teach yourself this class. The expectation is to have read the entire chapter before class. Reads straight from PowerPoint, *at times incorrectly. Not req. attendance, but will curve you if you're there when he randomly checks. Exams are mostly conceptual. You have to purchase Pearson Access code. Avoid if can

This guy is by far the worst professor at SDSU. He cannot do the problems he assigns. Do not take.

Professor Andreev is A great professor, but his lectures heavy. He gives you lots of work and your grade is based on homework, 5 clicker quizzes each lecture, and three tests. The tests are extremely difficult.

Super easy, exams are from the test bank, never have to go to class, attendance isn't required. Don't buy his extra credit referral to Wall Street Journal.

He's not a great professor. He uses the powerpoints that are made by the book and skips through the slides and uses different variables for the formulas. Go to class so that you can get attendance points and write down the formulas the way that he does it. Do the online homeworks and quizzes bcuz you can fail all tests, but get free points & pass

This professor is honeslty an ass. Hes one of the only teachers that we can take which is unfortunate because he sucks. He doesnt care about his students and laughs when people ask for help or any basic question. He literally told us on the first day we can only take him because all of classes were full and that dropping was our other option.

This professor does not care about his students at all. He is rude to students as he laughs at questions asked by them in class.

Had him for finance, classmates were FRUSTRATED because he made the class impossible to pass. According to him, you NEED to read the chapters, go to class and take notes. He told us students fail with him but pass with other professors. the subject is hard but this professor sucks and is NO help. students would speak up in class and he'd laugh.

You wont go to class. He doesnt care class, his lecture not make sense at all. Only about 10 ppl go to class. I dont believe he is a good professor.

Andreev is probably the worst professor Ive had in my life. He constantly makes fun of students and his tests are impossible. He sucks at teaching and his way of curving the class is assigning impossible homework assignments that take forever and don't help for tests. Overalll hes just a bad person that seems like he enjoys students failing.

Straight trash, the worst professor at SDSU and it is not close

This class was unnecessarily hard. Andreev only gives you 1 hour to complete 40-question MC midterms & 2 hours for a 60-question MC final, both comprising of many math problems. The HW is tedious yet is only 30% of your grade; rest are exams. Definitely do not take him BUT if you do GO TO A+ REVIEW. Also, he doesn't curve even though most ppl fail.

He is the worst professor in SDSU like for real. He doesn't teach anything so don't expect to learn some material about finance in this course. He is a nice guy but he doesn't care about his students AT ALL. I don't know why he ain't ever get fired. Oh and also, he doesn't know how to use Zoom either.

Not great with technology considering everything is online. Students are easily confused and he gets upset that the students don't understand the material. Argued with students, not helpful when students asked questions, and would disregard some student concerns when it came to the testing format. Also has a very weird testing format.

Andreev is one of the worst professors at the school. He is unclear when he is lecturing and if anyone asks a clarifying question he gets extremely mad that you do not know the material already. He acts as if you're supposed to teach it to yourself. One time in class he even said "I am not here to teach you", and that was not taken out of context.

Didn't know professors came this bad. Here's some quotes: "I'm not here to teach you", "I'm just here for my paycheck", "laugh at your confusion now, cry later", "I'm the worst professor you could choose, you're all just here cuz my class didn't fill up".. he didn't take a students test because he was a minute late and I've never learned a thing :(

He's the worst finance teacher at SDSU. DO NOT take his class

I definitely don't recommend taking this professor. The way he explains things is really difficult to follow and I honestly leave lectures feeling more confused than I was before. The only way I've done OK in the class is by teaching myself through the textbook and watching YouTube videos on Finance. Tests aren't too bad if you understand the book.

Andreev is the WORST professor I have ever taken. He always tells us that it is not his job to teach us, so we had to teach ourselves. Honestly, if you have more options skip Andreev. If you have no more options, do a favor to your GPA and go to A+ review.

He speeds through the coursework so you are left in the dark, he will laugh and berate you for not knowing something. He mocks you if you leave class early. Overall he doesn't care about you or his job. I spent so much time teaching myself the coursework my other grades dropped. I dropped this class to pass my other classes. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Andreev is by far the worst professor I have ever had. His lectures are pointless because he doesn't actually teach anything. He is very rude and makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. He recently cussed out a student right before a final because he didn't have his Red ID. So much homework that doesn't even help u study for the test. Awful!!!!

Does not teach for the exam. Is extremely difficult to follow in class and does not care if his students are failing until it reflects poorly on him at the end of the semester

Very bad at explaining things

He does not explain well at all. You will bond with your classmates over a semester's worth of confusion.

I have never been more frustrated in a class. Lectures do not make sense because he is very hard to understand. He jumps from one topic to the next without finishing what he was explaining. He does not lecture on the entire chapter before the homework is due. I would not recommend taking his class. I have had to learn most on my own. He is rue.

I Have never been more confused in a class. Tests are COMPLETELY different than homework & hes not very good at explaining during lectures. He recently completed a few homework problems with us in class and he struggled to get some of the correct answers?! Not sure how SDSU is even allowing him to teach. Just take a different professor.

Normally I take RMP with a grain of salt but this time I wish I paid attention. If you cannot find another professor, you are better off waiting another semester. He does NOT teach and homework does not prepare you for the exams. You can study a week in advance and still will not be prepared for the exam. Exam avg is D and he does NOT curve

Hardest class of my LIFE. Lectures were unorganized & impossible to understand, tests were incredibly difficult, basically self-taught w hard hw. I barely passed & still don't feel confident on the topics. I've never gone to A+ review before but for this final, it was absolutely necessary. This man & this class will forever haunt me in my sleep.

I never write reviews...but this professor is the worst. His lectures are not organized, he's way of teaching is extremely outdated. The overall system he uses is not efficient nor easy to remember. I decided to drop the class because I was investing so much time to learn by myself that my other classes were negatively affected by it.

This is Jospeh Stalin descendant, he rules this class with an iron sickle and will struck you down with a hammer. Hes lazy, The test are not related with the lecture HW and the book. He will sent you to the gulags if you dont put in ur RED ID on the test.

Horrible teacher! Take someone else and save yourselfs. His lectures go offtopic and most of the time what he says is not related on the tests. Only 3 Tests! 2 worth 150 and the last one worth 300. So stupid.

If you are fine teaching yourself from the textbook and then taking tests that don't relate to the textbook, then this class is for you. He is unorganized, to say the least; he uses the PowerPoints that were already made by book publishers and then picks a few slides to teach from. I studied my butt off for this class. I don't recommend his class.

The absolute worst teacher on this campus. Be scared to ask questions because he will try to make you uncomfortable and send you to the gulag. Please save yourself from depression and anxiety. If you hate yourself, then this the perfect class for you

By far the worst teacher at SDSU. He messed up 3 questions on one of the tests and didn't give points back even tho there were typos. He gives super boring lectures and doesn't know what he's talking about. People will ask questions and he'll tell them to read the book.

This professor is by far the worst I've ever had in my educational history, none of his in class lectures taught the class anything. Most of your learning in this class with strictly be through the Cengage homework, his outside hour long COVID-19 zoom lectures that he makes you watch and quiz on. You will hate yourself taking this, A+ and Cengage..

Worst education experienced. Book-taught, then straight to high-weighted tests, with no math work practice. Lectures are distracting compared to test. Inability to communicate effectively, losing me on expectations. Discussion questions are a joke. No math practice to actually learn. He's irresponsible in self-reflection. Ego-driven, not worth $.

By far the worst I've had at sdsu.

This guy actually is the worst teacher I have ever had since I started kindergarten. Whatever you do do not take this guy, it is easier to teach yourself the material than listen to this guy's lectures.

Legitimately couldn't learn anything from his lectures and I really wouldn't even bother going. He does top hat for attendance during the lectures but you can do them when you aren't at the class. He literally just laughs to himself the whole class and will be stuck on one problem for the whole class. Every other ba323 professor is better.

Trying to follow this guys lecture is like trying to navigate your way out of the Amazon Rainforest while your blindfolded with your hand behind your back and you weigh 300+ lbs. Literally the worst lecturer I have ever had. Bounces back and forth between topics so much you don't even know what you're learning anymore.

Worst professor I've ever had. He knows the material well, but is not good at teaching others. Lectures are a waste of time bc he doesn't actually teach anything or go over full practice problems. He is either tired of teaching, or was never good at it to begin with. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE!

Day 43 of going to his lecture: Still haven't learned a single thing. I would rather fights joseph stalin in the gulag than attend another one.

Probably one of the worst professors I've had at SDSU. His lectures are unclear af and majority of the class didn't show up to lecture unless is was test day. Tophat is used for attendance but you don't even have to be there to answer the questions. I would recommend reading the text book because he sure as heck isn't going to teach you anything.

Arrogant and condescending when you ask questions or get something wrong. Lectures are not helpful to understand the material. Study the homeworks for the tests. Grade is based on some cengage assignments and the exams. Double sided cheat sheets allowed. AVOID HIM.

I read every. single. word. of. the. textbook. About 3hrs of hw a week, 50% of your grade based on 3 exams he fails to prepare you for (no makeup dates either), makes you buy a $60 calculator you don't really use, and he'll laugh at the questions you'll ask. The only good thing is you get extra credit for attending class. Don't take this class.

Lectures unproductive. Hes rude. Hard class and never taught us how to use the calculator

His teaching was terrible. Half the stuff he would do in lectures wasn't on the exam and was a waste: strict marking and horrible teaching. I would not take it again

Honest review: this man should not be teaching. Avoid taking his course at all costs, he is a confused old man who is a terrible communicator. If you're stuck with him, my only advice would be to use class time to take notes the textbook. You're going to have to anyway since you won't learn anything from his lectures.

I am in the bad place, and this man was sent by the actual devil. This man claims to have a curve, but it's actually just top hat points 30/30. This man doesn't understand what students are asking him and is so unhelpful. Tests are on topics I can't even find in the textbook, and he regularly says we will fail...and he's not wrong.

Not many assignments, claims attendance points are a curve, does not teach what is on exams, ends class early because he says there's no hope for us, tells everyone to withdraw because we all will fail, he joked about jumping in front of the trolley and I am seriously considering joining him because of this class

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! Genuinely never had a worse professor in my life. Not enough time given for tests. Homework, textbook and lectures are COMPLETELY different from the exams. He has no curve. In class, his spelling calculations are often wrong making it very hard to understand. He is also very rude when students voice concerns. Don't do it.

"DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF! Genuinely never had a worse professor in my life. Not enough time given for tests. He has no curve.

Don't do it." just horrible will get mad at you if you ask questions.

Grades out of 1000 points, 3 Exams, first 2 are 150 points, final exam is cumulative and worth 300. Exams are nothing like the homework or lectures. Only goes over math problems in class and most of the exams are what if scenarios and barely any math problems. Do not take this class unless you are prepared to teach yourself everything.

Well he's a man of his own way, class notes were all over the place showing us an example, erases part of it then continues through. In the beginning of the semester, he lowkey roasted students for asking questions. He has us take a look at his old Zoom class lectures; I'm near the end of the semester, nv understood for what. Retaking this class.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS!! This was genuinely the worst class I've ever taken. The homework and lectures didn't coordinate at all with the exams. He glossed over everything while he read over slides and would skip slides. Forgot to bring the final on final day, and told us it was all OUR fault, that it was a WE problem. Should be fired imo.

DON'T take this professor. For starters he glosses the slides that are already a condensed summary of each chapter in the text book and basically rambles on about stuff. Homework is nothing like the exams and there's just so much of it it gets annoying. On finals day he forgot to bring the final exam and rambled on on how its our collective fault.

This instructor lacks clarity in lessons and explanations. Lectures were confusing and failed to cover key concepts, forcing students to self-teach most of the course. Expectations were unclear, and there was no grading curve despite the difficulty.

Lectures are a waste of time; you can secure your attendance points online through tophat. Exam questions were never covered during the lectures or in the textbook. He was kicking students out of the final for not having their student IDs and telling them they have to retake it next semester.

Do not take this professor, his lectures are really hard to comprehend, the grade you see in canvas is never your actual score so you don't know if your failing or passing the class, he doesn't curve and he's also rude when you're trying to participate. Please just don't.
