This guy is great.

very helpful and always available

He's great!

Gives us very interesting lecture and is kind and very helpful to students.

The guy looks like Ken(Barbie's other half)& he's super cool, i bet he drives a pink convertible. I can't believe anyone could be "offended" by something he said. You people are a bunch of babies. his class is easy and he knows his****. he's a fine gentleman, even by barbie's standards.

Class isnt bad, but night class is not recommended. Good teacher, most complaints heard are by those who dont go to class and fail, which is pretty hard to do in the first place as you can get by with just the slides and the book

He really knows what he is talking about and you will excel if you go to class. It is key though to read and take book notes. Huge curve!

Great professor and he was from New York Mills. Can't go wrong with a guy from Mills.

Easy going and good teacher.

Awesome guy

He is not a difficult professor; he wants everyone to do well in the class. Sometimes wording on tests can be tricky though. Overall a great teacher to have!

Hard to say. Wants everyone to do well; class is not easy. Dropped out of bus. school but was unable to drop class due to the hard lower credit limit. Never studied, copied homework answers directly w/o reading questions, knew absolutely nothing, beat class average. Otherwise, very nice guy, reasonable workload/attendance policy, but hard tests.

nice guy. he really does want everyone to do well. there is a massive curve every test (8-15%) because the tests are pretty tough...hand written homeworks every week and 3 tests. dont have to go to class--i went maybe half of the time. his slides are the exact examples from the book--he tries to pass the time and be funny and small talk a bit

Zutter is a nice guy, no mistaking that. He really does want you to do well, but then his tests are pretty rough. The final: forget it. It was nearly impossible and totally killed my self-esteem for the rest of finals week. He is much better in a small setting, so I'd recommend the night section. Not a bad choice, but be prepared to study hard.

Chads a really smart guy and knows his stuff. His class is not mandatory however there are weekly homeworks for each chapter that get turned in at recitation. He uses powerpoints that are summaries directly from the book. His tests are 30 questions multiple choice however they can get really tricky though.

He's a good teacher and goes over the material slowly and clearly to make sure everyone understands it. Read the chapters and add notes from the readings to the powerpoint slides, and the tests will be easy; they are multiple choice, and the final is a little harder but not bad. Also gives a nice 5-8% curve on each test.

Chad uses powerpoints and test questions straight from the book, but the difference here is that his lectures complement and enrich the ppts. The books is extremely readable, online questions are free and mirror the test questions. Awesome curves had me going into final with a 100+%. Final is tougher but non-cumulative. Take his class if you can

No work req'd. Unlike with other finance profs. So easy. HW answers are online. 3 tests straight from the book - soooo easy. Each test is curved. Attendance not req'd - he just goes over the powerpoint slides from the book. All you need to do is read the chapters and you will get 100 on each test.

Hard class. Zutter is a great guy, but not so great as a teacher. He means really well though, Homework answers are all online. Tests were extremely hard. There were problems on the final not covered in homework, so expect a lot of curve balls. I would recommend taking someone else if you can.

Fantastic guy, incredibly smart, this class was a great take. You get out what you put in, so if you really want a career in finance, read the book and visit him in office hours to get extra info. Otherwise, it is still an easy A. Every test was curved substantially and came straight from text.

Hmmm. Homework due every Friday and is graded by completion. He co-wrote the book so be prepared to read it. Lectures were pretty boring. Tests are conceptual and formula based. Know the key terms, how to work the formulas and you'll get A. Tests are usually 4-5 chapters. DEFINTELY REQUIRED STUDYING IF YOURE AVERAGE LIKE ME

Pop quizzes are 10% of your grade, but homework is an easy 15% of your grade--gives you full credit if you attempt it. He wrote the book, and gives you the labonline book for free.

He is aware that Finance does not come naturally to everyone. He is a really nice guy and genuinely wants you to succeed. Lectures are boring.. but it is pretty hard to make Finance very interesting. Pop quizzes are 100% for anyone who shows up to class to take them. Homework is 15% of your grade and actually quite helpful. Exams are MC!

I am writing this as I am sitting in his class. I have absolutely no idea what he is talking nor do I care, but I got a 94 on the first two exams. It is an unbelievably simple course. You have to go to class because of the pop quizzes (open notes), but you, in no way, are required to pay attention.

Zutter is a cool, funny guy. Lectures are pretty boring and dry... Caught myself zoning out every lecture. Lots of components to improve your grade - hw and pop quizzes, you get full credit just for completing them. Exams are hard, but you can find test banks that will help study.

Its comical seeing the variation in ratings for Prof. Zutter. The variation mostly seems to reflect negative reviewers lack of understanding that this is an intro class for all majors. Professor Zutter mentions that finance majors may wish there was more depth and rigor while non-finance majors may wish for less. Ultimately he strikes a balance.

Professor Zutter is terrific and he definitely tries to get students involved. He knows the material and gives you a great feel for it during lectures. The test material comes directly from the book.

Straightforward. Lectures really help you relate to the material. If you do the homework and read the chapters, tests are totally fair and doable.

Totally fair and manageable class. Prof. Zutter tells you whats expected and provides the resources necessary to meet his expectations. Overall great class.

Zutter is a great guy, gives a decent lecture, but for a terrible class. Intro to Finance is so dull (perfect for the non-finance majors) and he makes that very clear. I went to class only on exam days and got an A, simply by reading the textbook throughout the semester, then re-reading close to exam days. Class is usually curved too.

I am not a finance major and wasnt looking forward to taking intro finance, but Professor Zutter made it both manageable and meaningful. I have a much greater appreciation for financial management and the role marketing plays in the financial management process. Definitely a beneficial class for business majors.

Chad runs a very solid finance class. The class is not a walk over but thats because finance is a difficult concept. 2 tests that are around 33 multiple choice with a 36 question mc final. The conceptual questions are easy if you read the textbook. He curves every test, including the final. There are also optional homeworks from pearson.

Very solid and informative class. I learned a lot about the firm and how the financial management process works. Professor Zutter covers everything you need to know during lectures and is very consistent with the material in the textbook. He gives lots of anecdotes during lectures that help relate the information to industry.

Professor Zutter has really helped me this term. I really appreciate that he is so accessible. He holds office hours every weekday that we do not have class and is also available after class and by appointment. I needed some help at 10pm one night and he responded to an email and quickly met up with me on Zoom to discuss. He really cares!

I am not a finance major so had to work extra for a good grade, but Prof. Zutter Did a great job. His lecture style was easy going and he was extremely accessible and willing to help. If you have to take intro finance take it with a Prof. Zutter.

The lectures were interesting and contributed to my choosing finance as my major. Chad is a great guy and definitely wants students to learn. I will take him again if he teaching any other finance courses.

The class was interesting and certainly challenging. Fesser center does a good job of conveying expectations and being available to students. He definitely cares and wants students to learn.

This was a very beneficial course to take and it did a good job of preparing me for future finance courses. Professor Zutter is very knowledgeable and willing to help. The homework really helped me learn the material.

Professor Zutter knows the material really well. He is very passionate about the class and you can tell he really enjoys what he teaches. I appreciated being able to reach out to him with questions and he always explained things in a way that made it easy for me to understand.

He is always willing and available to help. He went step-by-step through examples, which really helped me. He is clear about what is included on the exams.

The homework and examples in class really helped me learn the material. The professor was available for office hours every day we didn't have class and being able to pop in for a few minutes to ask some questions really was beneficial to me.

Prof. Zutter knows the material and wants students to do well. I enjoyed the lectures because he seems to be enthusiastic about Finance. If you visit him during office hours he shares that same enthusiasm with you and is very helpful.

Prof. Zutter does an extremely good job of making the class possible for those who may be taking the class just to move on, while making it difficult and challenging for those who will go further in finance. I like that he taught the class in a way that made it possible for everyone to achieve if you put in effort.

I enjoyed that he provided real life stories and examples of how businesses and governments use the financial concepts we discussed during lecture.

Professor Zutter is friendly, approachable, available, and very experienced in the subject. He is always willing to have in depth conversations about what students are interested in in class.

Lectures were easy to understand and he explained things well.

Prof Zutter does an awesome job teaching finance. This is only an introduction class, but I feel like he gives students a very thorough understanding of whats going on in finance and why all business majors should care about finance. My major was undecided when the semester started, but after taking Prof Zutters class its finance for me.

Chad is a great professor and obviously very passionate about finance. I am not sure why the tests are made so much harder than what we do in lectures, but corrections help a ton. Definitely seems like the best option for Intro to Finance to me.

Professor Zutter is terrific. He cares and wants all students to learn.

I am not a finance a major, but professor Zutter made the class interesting and challenging. I had to work hard and I learned a lot. Great required class.

Finance is not my thing, but Professor Zutter made it interesting and manageable for me. It was definitely challenging and not my best grade ever, but given its a required course I was glad I took it with Professor Zutter.

Professor Zutter does a great job teaching a required class. He makes a genuine to ensure that everyone understands the material (not just the finance majors).

Zutter is a class where you def need to work for it. I'm a finance major and that made learning the content way easier but if you're not a finance major/don't care ab it, I wouldn't take him. I've learned the most out of my time at CBA through this class, really prepares you for finance internships. Exams are hard, but definitely manageable.

Professor Zutter was hands down one of the best professors I have ever had at this university. Lectures were extremely informative with many real world applications and examples. If you are interested into going into finance this is the course to take.

The class is challenging, as expected. He emails your exam grade a couple days after each exam, and clearly says and said that you will receive full credit for the challenge problems as long as you just show that you completed it. He knows his material like the back of his hand, and all classes are just power point presentations. Was more than fair

Professor Zutter is a great intro to the finance field. He is someone that will always respond to you and help you through any issues with the class. Overall great class and great professor!

Professor Zutter really cares about his students and takes time to help you if you have questions in or after class. I had to work hard but I learned a lot.

I don't really know why he gets such poor reviews. The material is hard but the self-test questions help with computational problems, and the textbook goes over the conceptual ideas. He is also very generous with curving exams and the homework is pretty much a guaranteed 100% if you complete it.

Professor Zutter is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's accessible outside class and willing to talk to you for hours which was very helpful. He sent us the grades via email. Be sure to read the textbook chapters before study and understand every question in your self-test problems since the exam questions were similar

If you put in the work to understand concepts, class is straightforward. Self-test problems w/ unlimited attempts and questions similar to the exam, completion graded challenge problems, recitation that literally helps with how to do all these, and textbook that I feel if you can answer the review questions in each chapter you're set. He's great.

Chad reviews do not make sense to me. His lectures are optional but he posts the slides after he completes them and they provide a great overview of how to approach the homework and test problems. The problem sets are exactly like the exams just worded differently and the challenge problems are just for completion so all you need to do is submit it

Professor Zutter expects students to work hard and demonstrate their understanding. However, he provides all of the necessary resources and he is super available to help students outside of class. Overall, with Professor Zutter you get out of his class what you put into his class.

Professor Zutter is caring and fair. He provides the textbook and is available to help during office hours or outside of class and office hours if you just email and ask. I learned a lot this semester.

The GOAT. Gives you the answers to both homeworks. Babbles a bit in the lectures but it's funny and he's just passionate. Super nice guy and overall easy if you go to class and study.

Chad is super passionate about finance BUT you will have to put in some extra time to learn the material yourself, lectures are a little dry but go to class and recitation, the class is not hard and you'll be fine, get to know him!!! Great guy, you won't learn if you don't apply yourself. Go to class for attendance so you can get your exams curved.

Prof. Zutter was a great professor. He was a very knowledgeable and passionate guy. HW questions are former exam questions which is very helpful for studying. That being said, go to recitation and read the textbook if you want to succeed in this class.

He is not the best professor but imo overhated. The math exam questions are straight from the lecture slides/self-test. Some of the conceptual can trip you up but read the textbook and you should be fine. It does suck he doesn't go over math in class + attendance is mandatory but the resources are on the slides. The exams are fair. Very possible A.

Lectures are not the most interesting thing, but he explains the concepts well and is very passionate about what he teaches. Tests can be difficult but he provides good study resources and is very willing to help inside/outside of class. Downsides: he skims through computational problems during lectures and doesn't label the exam formula sheet.

This class is not difficult if you put the extra work in and practice the example problems. The exams are all curved and the questions on there are extremely similar to the homework problems. Only downside is that lectures can be kind of boring and he didn't label the formulas on the exam sheet.

I was nervous at first because of the reviews, but Professor Zutter genuinely cares about students. He replies to emails quickly and listens to feedback. When challenge problems were too hard, he allowed unlimited attempts. Exams are based on self-tests, recitations are helpful！！

Professor Zutter gets a bad rap on here and I am not sure why. He is very genuine and always tries to get students involved. He knows Finance isn't a "fun" topic for most, but he still lectures and tries to be interesting during class. The homework is straightforward, and with a day of studying for the exams, you should do well in this class.
