He is super cool. I don't like information systems and he made it really fun. He is whitty and very clear in his teaching. I would highly recommend him highly.

Gordon is the man, he knows what he's talking about and is so involved in his teachings that it pours over in constant tangents and verbal musings. If you want to learn, take his course, but be prepared to be worked, his classes are NOT easy.

knows his stuff and trys to make students just as smart lots of humor in his class and lots of work

Made the class fun and enlightening. Learned a lot.

Good professor. His class is challenging but not unfair. He is very specific about his expectations for tests. Do the homework, read the chapters and don’t fall behind. If you are willing to put in some effort you will do well in class. Has an offbeat sense of humor, but it helps to lighten up the class.

I took a class with him over the summer and I thought the class was really enjoyable. I learned a lot from the class and he has a humorous way of teaching. He is the reason I am a Finance Major.

Good instructor. The class is difficult for some because Stringer actually expects you put forth some effort and seek to understand the material. Grading is very fair, and he does curve the class. He allows resource sheets for test as well.

I took this class over the sumemr thinking I'd hate it, but now I have this almost dark love for math I never had before. Cool. Just be prepared to study alot. Generally a fun class.

Great Professor! I believe that this class will weed out those who are lazy. I received an A- after averaging 86 on the three exams. Do the homework and ask questions. Buy a financial calculator the semester before hand and learn how to use it before taking this class. Pay attention because the concepts will be useful for the rest of your life.

He's a really good teacher and will always slow down or go back to make sure you get it. Some people just don't get him though.

I took this class over summer and was dreading the math. I really like statistics now. Crazy, but a good teacher can have that effect on you. I got so into it, I tutor stats classes now. Crazy.

I had Stringer for 2 QUAN classes and 3 Finance classes. He knows his stuff, has real experience, pushes students to learn, is available for help, and a nice guy. His finance 305 was one of the major reasons I changed majors. Plus sometimes when he makes certain expressions up on the stage he looks like Michael Keeton in Batman, ha!

Nice guy -- willing to listen and help. Sitting through the class was just difficult because it was straight lecture. Should get students involved -- don't read the PP and homework directly off the prompter.

He gives a hard test but is very intelligent and wants the best for his students.. He is a nice guy, if you go in for office hours he is very helpful and explains the information well!

Made class enjoyable, if you study you will pass, best professor in the college of business.

If you need to take FNCE 305, take it with Stringer. I am terrible at finance and math, but the way the class is structured it is easy to get an A as long as you DO ALL THE HOMEWORK. If you don't do the homework, you will not do well in this class. He also lets students use a 'cheat sheet' on exams. I actually learned a lot in this class.

Great professor if you have to take finance. You can get a good grade and can learn a lot if you do all the homework and stay on top of it. He goes through all the problems in class and shows you how to work them as well as providing all the answers for you when you do the homework. He also lets you use a study sheet for tests which is great!

He lets you use a resource sheet on the final. The homework is all online, which is a great system. He is very helpful. Ideally you should come prepared to class by doing your reading & online homework. Great professor for this...caused me to add finance to my major!

If you are nervous for a finance class you should take it with him. The homework is online and Professoer Stringer goes over almost all the homework in class. The repitition makes the subject easier to understand. If you do the homework and go to class, you will do really well.

The class requires work but he's upfront with it. He tells you what you need to do to pass period. Fair doesn't begin to describe him. He is beyond fair and will help you any way you need! I hate finance. Hate it! That being said, if I had to do it again I wouldn't want a different professor. He is the business.

Best professor in the Business School. Other professors should pay attention to his lecture style, his upfront attitude about the work required and his reasonableness. He went over and above to help the entire class by podcasting his lectures and doing video examples of every homework problem. The tests are hard but doable if you study.

Possibly the best teacher I've had at UCCS. I wish the entire business school utilized the web as much as he does. Despite the so called random tangents, he makes up for it by being readily accessible and by providing thorough video lectures that helped me when I was struggling. I didn't like FNCE before this class, but I'm taking more with Dr. S

Best professor I've had so far. Definitely in the fan club. He was very engaging (and hilarious if you pay close attention) and kept things interesting. Reminds me of Jack Nicholson in both appearance and pentameter. I wish he was teaching UD classes next semester! Hoping to work more closely with him in the future.

The amount of work is excessive, but the amount of resources he provides is steller. He has every in-class activity and lecture complimented online. If you are having difficulty with a problem, he is always available via email.

Great instructor! Strongly recommended, however be forewarned it is a difficult class that requires a lot of study time. But Stringer definitely makes it do-able!

Hilarious, makes stats fun. Great guy very smart.

Great teacher! Awesome person and makes statistics enjoyable! Strongly recommend!

One of my favorite teachers.

Professor Stringer is great. However I do not care much for Finance. There is a lot of online homework assignments that you must complete and the tests can be a bit hard at times. If you do not study for the tests and put some time into your resource sheet then you are not going to do well on tests. This class was okay just not my thing.

Professor Stringer is absolutely amazing. His lectures are hilarious (if you get his humor). There is a lot of homework, but it helps to reinforce what you learned in the chapter. Read the chapters, do the homework, study for tests and you will do great! I wish he taught other classes because I love his teaching style.

Great professor. I took the one month condensed version of the course and he was very helpful and understanding. Lots of homework though.

Finance is not a strong subject of mine, but he made it as fun as he could. Always available to help, and wants you to pass. Content is still a lot to take in, and tests are not easy ( but you can have a cheat sheet!) If I had to take it again I would only do with him.

He is SO helpful, especially for a math class. You can go to class and he teaches the homework through the lecture, and if you get stuck, he has all his lectures online and you can just rewatch the part you need. He answers emails well. Gave me full credit for a late assignment. He cares that we learn and understands students.

The course overall is not too hard but isn't easy if you slack off. If you do the homework, extra credit, read the book, you will do fine for this class. I also recommend buying the BA 2 plus for this one, you will thank me later. Overall Gordon was great, he's helpful and made sure we understand the material.

A lot of homework and hard exams, but if you stay on top of your assignments and do the extra credit you will do great! He is a great professor and provides very helpful feedback if you ask for help! The only thing I was not a fan of was the exams being video taped.

I had heard that the class was hard and that he was not a good teach. The class was rather difficult however, Dr. Stringer cares about the students and puts in the efforts necessary for their (my) success)

group project literally every other day, which is already annoying let alone having the class online and never meeting the group mates in person. easy grader, if you just try you can pretty much get full credit on anything. tests were harder and you cant use the book because all tests are on lockdown browser.

I was terrified of taking a finance class, but Stringer made it so easy. He gives lots of extra credit!! The connect readings and homeworks are an automatic 100% because u get 3 tries with can check your homework. His supplemental videos on Canvas is so helpful. U don't really have to show up to class because he only goes over the extra credit hw

There's a lot of assignments and homework problems, but it's all fairly easy and Professor Stringer gives ample opportunity for extra credit. Watch his online lectures and chapter guides, do the extra credit practice problems, and you'll succeed in his class. Don't be intimidated by the fact that it's a Finance course. He sets you up for success.

Great Prof! It's clear he wants you to succeed. The last few weeks of the semester get a little tough, but he allows you to use notes for online exams. I was scared of this class but, he made it understandable. Plus there's lots of extra credit opportunities. Heads ups, there is a lot of weekly work due and 2 group projects (online).

He aint that bad.

Prof. Stringer is a great professor. He cares about his students and is in love with finance. He posts his lectures online and uses in-person class to go over homework. His exams are heavily graded but if you understand the homework, you should be fine. He lets you use a resource sheet. Finance is not an easy subject, but he tries his best.

Great Prof, passion for the subject. Be prepared to to an average amount of work. 10 times easier if you read the financial news and are actually interested.

I took his online FNCE3050 class, and it wasn't as bad as some of the reviews on here said. It is without a doubt a difficult course, but that had little to do with the professor himself. There are a lot of assignments and quizzes with 2 group projects. Just do all the work and you'll be okay. He gives lots of extra credit too.

He is clearly very knowledgable in finance. There are a lot of assignments in this course, but he offers a LOT of extra credit. His lectures follow the chapters perfectly. One of those classes that you have to prioritize since there are so many assignments to be completed, but the assignments are pretty easy. Would take another class with him.
