Unprofessional but easygoing and lenient with grading. Works outside of teaching -puts only minimal effort into course -expect exams to be exact replicas of sample review tests. Some may like his relaxed attitude but overall -low quality class.

Not the most knowledgable professor in the school, but if you want a review identical to the test with easy extra credit and a curve take him. Gives a lot of HW but you can get awy with splitting it ten ways and handing in photo copies of that. EASY A

Unlike others, he doesn't focus on theory - because we all know that theory is not the way life is in the real world. He is fresh off wall st., trying to help students get an A and at the same time teach them what they REALLY need. TAKE HIM!

This guy is cool and energetic. I don't know what other people didn't like but he taught pretty well. His class was only one and a half our a week, so of course he could not spell out everything. It requires some book reading on your own.

This prof. just come to chill and read the slides. you are on your own. And if you don't have time to read each page of your text don't even bother to take him. If you get A in his class that don't mean he is good, that means you did hard reading on your own from text book. More then half of the time the clicker was not working and i wasted my $30

I got an A- in this class by doing and redoing the practice exams and studying diligently. This is a class you can't take a blithe approach to. For the final, redo the HW manager problems for the chap on the final. It is by far the best prep for the quantitative questions.

He does nothing for the class. Its a terribly structured class. Baruch throws 300+ students into one room with this guy who is always late, ends early and impossible to contact. Then they send you to a recitation TA who doesn't speak english & isn't even an accounting major themselves. Waste of time and money. It's simply wrong!!

It's an easy class. Just do the HW and the quizzes. The professor though doesnt teach well. You will have to rely on recitation or yourself to learn but the material isn't hard. Tests are from the HW and you can use a 2 sided cheat sheet on the final. No point of going to class since he just reads off slides. Also the book isn't really necessary.
