Class has interesting discussion, prof is really easy going and fun. 6 quizzes and 1 midterm, 1 final. extra credits available. Exams and quizzes are totally based on lecture notes, just spend 1 hour reading note before test then you should get easy A. Very Nice and helpful prof. I strongly recommand.

Anyone whos says this class is hard is a moron! He lays it out for you on a silver platter. Easy quizzes and the midterm and final are exact replicas of the quizzes.If you get anything less than a B, you just didn't try. Not his fault you are mentally inept!

I CAN LIVE WITH THAT!!!..FAIR ENOUGH..( HE SAYS IT ALL THE TIME).. I LOVE THIS MAN.. HE IS EXTREMELY EASYYYY...REPLICAS OF QUIZZES.. DONT NEED TO BUY BOOK..HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHIN IN HUMAN TERMINOLOGY..HE IS THE BEST... I THINK ONE OF THE NICEST GUY IF NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE FIN DEPT..

Nicest guy ever. Teaches everything straight from the notes, always there for students when they need help. Wants his students to succeed. Quizzes are from his lectures, the exams are from his quizzes. Go to class, don't buy the book, take good notes, get an A =]

I love this professor, he is easy going and very nice. Class is easy, 6 quizzes, mid term and final, everything is based on the lecture. Just spend couple of hours ahead of exam study the notes, you will do fine.

He is a great teacher, super easy. He is fun and easy to understand. If you take notes and study just your notes, there is an easy A. I would highly recommend him to my best friends.

He is one of the best. I highly recommend. He is very fair, test comes from his lectures. No surprise.

Easy Fin class: take good notes and you'll do fine. 5 quizzes -all from the notes, exams are from quizzes, so only retards and lazy folks get bad grades in this class. Very helpful, enthusiastic and encouraging professor. Learn lots of useful tips for finance and many important consepts. Great time and great class!!! Highly recommended!

Good professor to take if you don't have a high interest in this subject. Never boring. The quizzes are from the notes and the midterm and final are from the quizzes. Take notes, learn from your notes and you should do well!

Very good prof. Highly recommend.As long as you take his notes, you will be fine with all quizzes.Both midterm and final are based on quizzes(exactly same question just different numbers). What's more, he is very nice and friendly.

He is a really fun professor all the quizes are form the class and the mid term and final are from the quizez. I really recomended him your will learn in his class. But he is a HARD grader you need the book.

What can I say about this prof.? At first it seems like he's not that bad, the subject becomes interesting, and then what happens?? Then he loses the midterm, makes us take another one making it look as if he's doing us a favor while in reality he makes the exam 10 times harder than the first one!!! Judge for yourselves.

very knowlegable about the subject. easy quizes and exams. I never thought finance can be this easy. Highly recommended.

Thank you Professor, you are the best. Still in class, I am really pleased to be in his class. Professional and interesting style of teaching. 5+

He is not easy, if you don't like finance. If you are a finance major, he is great help. He does make you remember formulas, which makes future finance classes easier because you will be using these formulas for the rest of your career at Baruch. I recommend him if you want to be serious about finance.

4 Long quizzes + midterm + cumulative final+group project.Group project is not hard,it's just annoying. Quizzes can be tricky, cuz there r so many quizzes you dont really have to"study hard"for the final.Iluv the way he teached the class- Crystal clear.DO NOT BE ABSENT.His quizzes are from his lectures,& the final and mid. are from his quizzes

This guy is unprofessional. Other than that material he teaches is nothing intense. I will leave it at that...

One of the easiest prof's at baruch. His quizzes are straight from class notes. He only changes the numbers a bit. Tests are from quizzes. I missed a lot of classes. Still got an A. He doesn't mind as long as you show him you're smart. Easy A, take him

awesome professor! absolutely recommend him

easy professor ! take him if you want an A. just keep going with the flow and keep reading the book. Good Luck with an A+

He is a great professor!Exams are exactly like quizes (in fact, you might get the exact same q's) and there are no surpises. He actually explains the concepts in the easiest way possible. Take all the notes and try to understand it (don't memorize). His class is actually very helpful in Fin3610.

I liked his class, not completely easy, but it's only 3 credit class - you can do it! Take notes from lectures - it is 90% of the quiz material and midterm.Few formulas to be memorized. He is very respectful to students. Grades fairly, unless department will force him to grade on the average of C+

TAKE THIS GUY. Not the best if you're a Finance major, though - you will not learn much at all compoared to other profs.

Attendance is not mandatory but his tests come mainly from the notes. Missing one day of class can hurt you if you don't get the notes and understand the formulas. Midterm, final, presentation and a few quizzes. Minimal online homework which helps in learning how to use the formulas. Would not recommend if finance major though.

Very good professor.3 quizzes, 1 presentation and a final. very easy grader. RECOMMENDED.

People who gave a low rating must want him to spoon feed them. He is an outstanding lecturer who goes over the board rather than reading off a slide. Answers to emails everyday. Quizzes, Midterm are relatively easier. Final is departmental and hard. But he reviews it before final. Make connections and get a test bank. You will ace it.

Professor Shechter clearly is passionate and well informed in Finance. Lectures are valuable and you'll need them for examsquizzes. He's a really good guy and you do have to work a little for your A but it's very attainable. Definitely worth taking his class.

Just a solid professor for this section of this class. He knows what he speaks about, and even though he strayed from the textbook, the departmental final was still very doable based on what he taught. He's very straight forward, and is abundantly clear about his quizzes (3 of them) and his midterm (just one). Great choice.

Shechter is a good professor. Pay attention in class, and take notes, and the quizzes and tests are the same questions as those given as practice or in class, just with different numbers. If you can follow exactly what his examples are, you will do well. This isn't a hard class. Just understand how to replicate some questions and youll def be fine.

Nice professor. No need to buy a book because he gives exactly what's going to be on the exam. Took this class in summer semester and it was a lot of work, other than that his lectures are interesting. Cancelled class once and let us go home earlier couple of times even though semester lasted only 5 weeks. Focuses on numbers not theory.

I agree with the comment below mine. Also, his test questions are basically just his class problems, usually. Just understand everything he says. Very funny and very nice though. Not looking to hurt anyone. Is bias in class, but that doesn't reflect how he grades exams or anything.

I took him during summer session, he is fun and easy if you understand his lectures. We didnt have to purchase book, because all exams and final would be from examples you do in class, exact questions with different name and numbers. But he doesnt curve at all, i was only 1 point away to get an A- but he gave me B+. still i think it was easy class.

Great finance professor among the rest, study old exams, take notes of the in-class problems and self-study them, you will do very well if you do your part, this class isn't meant to be a breeze. Takes a lot of points of on exams though, overall funny guy and wants you to do well.

Good choice for your first finance class at Baruch, he is very clear when teaching the materials. Only problem is that he doesn't cover all the material he should for Intro to finance, so if your looking for a full long experience he is not the professor for you.

Awesome professor. Do not use a textbook, writes on the board everything you need to know. Tests include the same exercises from the board with different numbers and from the study guides. Pay attention in class and write everything from the board to study and you'll pass easily.

Tons of homework and quizzes, but he's a great guy and you really learn all the basics. Tough project at the end of the year, but overall a good class even if he speaks kind of fast sometimes.

Piece of cake. take his class

It's a good class but be sure to THOROUGHLY study your notes for tests with this class. He's easy to follow in class but don't walk into a test thinking that just cause you understood what was happening in class you've got the test in the bag. He's pretty chill though, and I would take his class again.

Amazing professor, even though I thought Id fail this clsss because math is the hardest subject for me, professor Ezri made finance look extremely easy. I actually got 100 on my midterm and I was super happy. He is fun, nice, I loved his lectures and everything was super clear. Attendance isnt mandatory, 4 qizzes and a final + presentation video.

DON'T study the textbook, DON'T study the connect homework, DON'T study the Departmental reviews but HIS NOTES AND HIS EXAMPLES FROM THE CLASS. Everything: his quizzes, his exams, presentation based on his notes and the problems he gives out in the class. If you follow these the class is a breeze.

Man is a legend. He has a heart of gold and will help you as much as a professor really can. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you miss a class, you'll lose your A. Definitely take if you can and study the departmental finals for the final.

This was his last year teaching the honors class. Overall, Ezri is a good professor who teaches you material outside of what the department requires him to. That being said, I'm a bit worried about going into the higher level FIN courses because I am not sure if what I was taught was sufficient for other courses in Baruch. He's an interesting prof

Ezri is a Great Professor over all, He has his own Stock Brokerage and was a Wall Street Stockbroker back in his day. He teaches you the concepts that you will use in the real world for stock/investment analysis. Grading was not bad 3 Quizzes 1 midterm 1 Group Project 4 online connect HW and Final

great prof!!! highly recommended! really cares about students and is flexible if you need him after class hours. tests and quizzes were straight from the notes.

really really great guy! test and quizzes were notes. group project is very clear and straight forward. 4 homeworks were easy online. take him!

Ezri is amazing! He is accessible outside of the classroom and is the most understanding, accommodating, and lenient professor. Even though it is not mandatory to show up to his lectures, the lectures are fun, enjoyable, and have full attendance. He tells stories that are interesting & relevant to help you understand and remember the material.

Amazing professor that teaches everything that you will need so you don't even need to read the textbook. There are no surprises on the tests or quizzes. There are 4 homeworks in total, all due at the end of the semester so there is no need to purchase the textbook. You can just activate your Connect free trial at the end of the semester and save $

I can barley keep up with him, he goes so fast in lecture!! He does record them and upload to blackboard so I rewatch the lecture after again. If you have some knowledge in the topics of fin3000 you should be good. But if you have zero knowledge with finance then idk if he is your best bet- he's just too fast. he's nice though

This professor is great! He does go pretty fast but if you ask him a question he'll stop and take the time to explain the concept to you. His exam questions come directly from the lectures, not the hw. I think the people giving him bad review's are the ones who didn't attend class because attendance isn' mandator and ended up doing poorly cuz of it

Want to get an A? ATTEND CLASS AND TAKE NOTES. Literally all his exams/quizzes are from problems we covered in class. He is always 5-10 minutes late, and his email responses to questions are very vague. HOWEVER he really makes up to it in his lectures. I like them because he doesn't read slides but rather actually writes on a whiteboard

professor shechter is amazing at giving lectures. he is always on Time and enthusiastic. he is also hilarious and he always responds to emails. I would 100% take class again!

Ezri is a phenomenal professor. I am surprised he is not teaching at Harvard Business School; Baruch should be honored to have him. Even for. a 7:30 pm class, Ezri brings enough energy for everyone to jump out of their chair. Lectures are filled with thought-provoking concepts and hilarious stories from his personal life. 10/10, highly recommend.

He should be much higher rated. Classes are chilled out, doesn't take attendance, quizzes are online! He takes questions whenever you ask, lets class out early on days that the lessons are difficult. You really can't get much better than him

A really nice guy and overall good human being. I am happy I decided to take his class. Low stress, learn alot. He is a real estate developer in addition to a professor so he talks from real world experience. Would highly recommend

This is not a class to take if you're a slacker. Ezri is a real estate developer and every lecture is packed with information. Its an intense class that you'll learn alot in - not an easy A by any means. If you're looking to cruise through, this is not the class for you. If you're passionate about real estate, this class is an excellent choice.

He's a really fun and engaging professor, I've never fully understood these concepts until now.

He is by far one of my favorite professors. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss a class you'll get lost. A couple of quizes, midterm and final. Plus SAM and connect homeworks. He is really fun and just gives you motivation also will gladly help you if you're stuck. Would def take him again.

Professor Ezri is a fun and engaging lecturer. The quizzes are straightforward, and he's generally helpful. However, the course doesn't fully prepare you for the tough final. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for exam prep.

he is the best guy ever he loves his kids max, spencer and jonah and loves his caring wife tzippy schechter. i really enjoyed hid class i thought it was inspirational and very benificial to me. getting a professor like ezri really changed my life for the better he instlled so many lessons and values i can take with me for the rest of my life.

He loves his kids max Jonah and Spence
