Great, Benesh, Turner, and Celec are the BEST!!!!!

his voice gets me sleepy...he is funny though...class is fairly easy as long as you study 4hrs before the test

SIMPLE CLASS, ALL YOU NEED IS THE TARGET PACKET AND YOUR FINE!

Class wasnt too easy. This is the best teacher for FIN3403...He tries to make class interesting. Buy the target packet and do the problems!!

best teacher fopr the class. A little confusing and hard to follow but holds reveiw sessions and has target book to follow along through out the whole class.

Buy the Target Packet and sit next to someone smart!!!!

Great, straightforward teacher. Would definately take him again!

Expects much on his tests, but easy if you do your work.

His tone of voice and speed of dialect is too fast. At times, he begins to mumble and begins to sound like an auctioneer. Take his class if you like your train of thought to be interrupted by jokes about race, women and blondes or his wife. Overall, his methods did not make the material easier.

This guy is great, very funny, make sure you get the target packet and study the concepts right off of here, no need to read the book at all, and you sparingly need the book, I studied the night before the test for every test and managed to get an A.

He is a really helpful teacher. The class is easy if you study and want to do good. I loved his jokes. It gave the class a little break from all of the numbers.

Definitely take Benesh. The math is easy - it's the concept questions that are hard. Keep up with the homework, study the Target packet notes (all concept Qs come from there), and you'll do fine. You only use the textbook for a few in-class problems, and you can usually look off the person who's sitting next to you who actually bought the book.

Awesome teacher. Says a joke every class. Gives 3 extra bonus points on each test for coming to class. Extremely easy if you read the book but I know people who never read and still get A's.

Makes class easy to follow and gives lots of review problems and a notes packet. Always has a good joke in the middle of class and is really nice and personable. Wouldn't take anyone else.

very fun professor, probably the best for this class.. tells jokes, takes attendance and keeps you the whole class.. very boring material but helps you a lot for the exams by giving out a cheat sheet and telling you what kind of problems will be on the test.. not an easy A, but not hard to have more than B-

Good professor to take for this class. Yes he tells jokes, but he certainly doesn't tell more jokes than he teaches finance. To get an A in the class, simply study the note packet, do the problems (need the textbook for that) and do the practice problems in the note packet before each test. His tests are fair and easy to ace if you understand it.

a great teacher

Great teacher for this class. He is clear, concise, and always available for help outside of class (you wont need it). He gives you 3 extra points on your final grade if you have 3 or less absences. There are 4 tests and they are 2/3 finance problems and 1/3 concept questions. Go to class - Study the night before the test & you can get an easy A!

He's a nice guy. I made great grades on the test by reading over the chapter once (quickly, not outlining or anything), re-writing the notes (buy the target packet, don't be cheap), and working all the problems. make sure you can work them using just the formula sheet he gives. easy class!

Great teacher for financial management of the firm. From what I hear, the best for the course. When it comes to exam time, he gives plenty of review opportunities. Def recommend!

He is one of the best professor I've had in FSU. The class was really easy for me, and be sure to get his target package. i never used my text and i got A. He does take attendance seriously. Have fun!

He's real fair. The syllabus is concrete and he will not change his policies for anyone, but in his class you really get what you deserve. Do a lot of the problems before the test and you will do fine. I got a B+ in his class and only really crammed before the tests. There are 4 25 question tests worth 25 pts each, so each question is 1%. Good

Plan on attending class every day and you'll get bonus points added onto your exam average. Very easy if you pay attention to the Target Pack in class. Practice problems are exactly like exam questions. Underline/star other things he emphasizes during class - these are conceptual questions exactly! Best teacher for this class, for sure!!

Kind of monotone and boring but very informative.

cool guy, dont need book, u have to buy a target pack with everything in it. not hard class, xtra credit for attending class.

This is a great teacher. His target packet lecture notes are VERY useful and are what needs to be focused on for tests (the only thing I used the book for were a few additional practice problems). He also holds review sessions before each test so that you can ask him questions & get additional help. I would definitely take this teacher again.

Don't buy the book. If you can't get an A or B in his class, you shouldn't be in college. I can't believe how many idiots were in my class. Show up to class, go to the review sessions and do the review problems in the packet = easy A. No other outside work required. I put maybe 10 hours into this class the entire semester (including finals).

Long classes can get boring, so Benesh always has a joke or two in the middle of class. While he is a good teacher and knows his stuff, you can sometimes miss things if he mumbles or talks too quickly. The Target Packet is essential; He practically teaches right out of it. Always has multiple help sessions before exams.

Not the most interesting class, but definitely helpful. He has TWO review times you can go to, a ton of practice problems, and basically all of the information you need is in the target packet. The trick...STUDY! It seems like lots of people who take this class get so upset when they have to actually be big girls and boys and study some for a class

Dr. Benesh is the BEST teacher! He is so enthusiastic about the material and is very helpful. His guidebook is a must! it has tons of examples that are just the type of questions he asks on the exams. I would definitely take him again! TAKE THIS TEACHER! plus, he always tells jokes in the middle of class, which are always funny and a nice break

GREAT TEACHER!!! he gives you a large amount of review problems. If you do them and pay attention in class you will get an A

Very good teacher and very helpful and all that, but make sure you drink some coffee before class. Something about the material or his voice knocks me out cold within 10 minutes. Some of the best sleep of my life.

Use his workbook. Do the practice problems. Conceptual questions can be tricky sometimes. He likes to tell jokes to spice up the class!

one of my favorite teachers at FSU. He's very straight forward on what he wants out of you. definitely buy the target copy and go to class for the extra credit. a lot of the notes he writes on his target copy in class are on the test. keep up with the work and you'll do fine.

BEST finance teacher at FSU! The course in general, with any teacher, is not easy unless it's your thing. He's really helpful an extremely fair. Keep up with the work and you'll be fine.

Can be a tough class, they say that your grade in financial accounting reflects your grade, but i failed financial accounting and received an A in this class. Do all the practice problems he gives u, and the previous test questions. Concept questions arent black and white, that will be your biggest problem. But good teacher, take him for this class

One of the best teachers I have had at FSU. Benesh utilizes a target copy packet which is mostly very clear and concise and corresponds nicely to the info in the text. Be sure to do all the review questions, old exam questions, go to every class (he adds 3 points to every test if you miss less than 3 classes), and study the T.C. packet;TAKE Benesh!

His class and his tests are not easy and he will be the 1st to tell you that. It does require some work, but that's the nature of the class. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. His teaching style isn't for everyone, but he does know the subject.

Benesh is a great teacher. He provides you with enough practice problems and exercises to be able to pass his exams. A very fair teacher who will help you if you ask for it. Makes sure to allow time for "jokes", little breaks if you will.Over all great teacher. Def. take him for Financial Managment.

Benesh is a good teacher. Really patient. Finance just sucks. The guy who does Tutoring zone for this class is great. He cuts down on studying time a ton. def recomend you go to tz.

By nature, not an easy class. Benesh is a good prof, but his class is rather boring. Basically mandatory attendance, but gives 3 extra points to your final grade if you don't miss more than 3 days of class. I got an A, but it took a lot of effort and time spent in the library studying. Class average was a high C.

Great teacher. Really cares about the students. If you miss 3 or less days you get +3% to your final grade. Attendance is mandatory. Tests are not easy but if you pay attention and study, the class is an easy B/A.

basically go to class to get extra credit. but dont pay attention- too hard/boring. go to tutoringzone at TCC and you ll be able to work every problem. study the target copy for conceptual questions. didnt use the book at all. the formulas he goes over in class he doesnt explain well and its basically chinese but he gives you them for the exams

Great guy and professor. Attendance is mandatory, but if you dont miss more than 3 days you get 3% added to your final grade. Study a good amount before each test and you should get an A/B

One of the best professors I have had. He gives you every opportunity to do well in his class. His tests are a bit tricky, but if you put in the time studying you should do well. I do suggest going to TZ to help prep for the test.

As a graduating senior I would like to say that Dr Benesh is truly one of the most genuine and caring professors I have encountered. His class is tough because finance in general is tough! But he will help you in any way possible. Go to tutoring zone :)

This class isn't a joke and attendance has a heavy weight on your grade. I highly recommend TutoringZone for this class because each test has a lot of material and a quick refresher section helps a lot.

He truly is one of the best professors that I have ever taken in my college career. His class is fair and thats what you need to know going in. You will work but everything, and I mean everything is in the Target Copy. You need to understand it inside and out. He covers everything in class. I would definitely take another class taught by him.

I'm not terribly interested in Finance, but this class was top notch. I would recommend you take it just for some interaction with Benesh. The man seems wise, but he is a poker player, so he could be bluffing. Tests were not overly complicated and they were completely fair. That packet will become your Bible. One of the best Profs at FSU.

Dr. Benesh is a great teacher. He makes the class as interesting as possible considering the content and gives you EVERYTHING that you need to succeed...plenty of review materials for the tests. He takes a break halfway through class for jokes which made the mandatory attendance much more tolerable. Don't be scared of this class, he's great!

If you go to class (three extra credit points on your overal grade if you miss less than 3 classes) get the target packet and go to tutoring zone this class is not bad. The class can get boring sometimes but you end up learning a lot. There are four test that make up your grade so be sure to study hard for each and you will do fine.

Gary's a great guy. Makes the class as interesting as finance can be. He keeps ur attention with great jokes at least once a class. He's extremely helpful if u make the time to see him. The book & target packet are just as helpful as TZ. Choose 1 or the other & save ur money. Not a difficult class, just don't procrastinate. I got a B- respectfully.

Amazing teacher! Although he has slightly difficult and tricky test questions (considering how straight forward most of the material is), if you study straight from the target packet, it should be an easy A/A-. It's wayyy easier than Pierno's ACG2021 class.

He reminds me of a football coach or retired Air Force General. Coach Benesh is not an easy teacher but he gives you all the tools you need to earn an A. If you are interested in Finance take him. Do not get on your phone during class he will see you and flip out...seriously.

Did TutoringZone for this class and got an A - never actually paid attention all that much in class. Under three absences is +3% on each Exam, over 5 you fail. Seems to care about his students and was mildy interesting in lecture.

If you use the tools correctly, you will get a good grade! Just put some effort in. I got a B and could have tried harder. Attend every class for the extra credit points & really pay attention to what he says is important for the tests. Study the target copy as much as you can! I learned a lot great teacher!

Fin3403, I learned so much. His tests are very hard, because he makes you know EVRYTHNG, but they are NOT tricky. Gives you all of the study tools you need to get an A (practice problems, past exams, help sessions). I got an A. Don't need to pay attention, just write down how he does the problems. Then read notes, do practice problems, and POOF! A.

I had a difficult time paying attention to the boring lectures. Did TZ and didn't even sweat for an A. The tests are hard, but not tricky. Conceptual questions require a lot of practice, and are written so process of elim will not work. You must know the material well to do well on the tests. Benesh is a great guy though. Good choice.

The material for this class is very hard, especially the conceptual questions. Dr. Benesh's class can be very boring but he is very fair and a nice professor. Under 3 absenses and you get +3% for the class. If you do NOT work hard you will NOT do well. It is possible though you just have to put in the work.

I wish I would've found out earlier how to study for his tests. I only read the book for the first test and I did not do very good. After that, I started reading AND understanding the Target copy and that's all you need in order to do well on the test.

He seems like a hard-ass at first but then you find out that he's actually a really fun and cool guy who knows exactly what he's talking about. I would definitely recommend taking him. The classes are mandatory and boring but if you study the book you'll get an A! He also makes sure to give you a break in the middle of every class!

One of the best Finance professors at FSU. Yes, he assigns seats. Yes, attendance is mandatory. There is a reason for this. His class is difficult. I got an A by attending every class. I learned a ton in this class. Makes all finance classes after it seem like a joke. If he is too difficult for you, Finance is not the major for you.

Strongly recommend! I though he was strict because the mandatory attendance, arranged seat and no electronic equipment. But I found out that he was fun and considerate as he prepared jokes or video for us every class. The note is good! not so difficult but useful! He will explain for everyone who came to see the exam!
