He is absolutely horrible. He does a flipped classroom (basically you teach yourself at home) and it just does not work. All he does in the classroom is answer questions and give a few examples for you to work on together. He gives about 3 quizzes and tons of homework. Do yourself a favor and find a different professor if you want a decent grade.

Worst professor I've had at Clemson. Three tests that make up 80% of your grade and three quizzes worth 12% and a lot of homework that takes a lot of time worth only 8%. Take Lockhart if you can. Wolf's flipped classroom doesn't work as many students have trouble learning the basic concepts on their own.

Worst teacher at Clemson by far. Reverse classroom style does not work. Does not teach the class at all. His lectures are online in forms of short videos that are hard to watch and learn from.

Very poor teacher. Can't teach his students at all. And the material isn't even that hard but having him teach it makes it much harder. A five year old could teach better than him. Very strict gradeer too. If you make the smallest mistake he'll take off a bunch of points. Says he's fair but in reality he just doesn't care at all for his students.

Cant teach to save his life. Extremely unfair grader, almost like he wants you to fail. Doesnt care for his students. Do yourself a favor and don't take him.

Final exam average was 61.3%. My section included an honors section. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Exams and quizzes are so hard for no good reason. Studied for a quiz more than exams in my other classes and still got a 70 on it. Had to legit not sleep for a week to make an A.

When I took this class, 65% of students got a D, F, or Withdrew. Tests should NEVER make up 85% of the final grade, it's an absurd concept that only demolishes GPAs and prevents real learning. The textbook was a useless hunk of trash and lectures were nothing more than reviewing HW. I only got an A by cramming the sample exams. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

He was the absolute WORST. Could not teach to save his life and will go over homework all class instead of reviewing the actual material. He got pretty upset with the class when majority of the class failed because of his lack of teaching. The way he grades is really hard and exams made up majority of the grades. Try and avoid this class!!!

makes the class extremely hard. everyone does poorly and he does not curve. he gets easily frustrated. makes the subject matter much more difficult than it is. basically had to read the textbook and teach myself finance.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Dr. Wolf is knowledgeable but struggles to present the information in a way primitive finance majors would understand. Showing up to class does not earn you any mercy when he grades. Either devote your life to this class or fail. **The non graded homework problems make up large portions of the exams.**

He's a very smart guy I'll give him that but he makes his class so hard

The majority of your overall grade comes from tests, for which he makes extra hard. I wish the homework was weighed more. My class average right now (right before finals week) is somewhere around a 60%. Hes not great at explaining stuff to people whove never taken finance before. The lectures are rushed. I have to retake this class next semeste

If you can take any other professor- do it. His exams are so hard and very different than what is taught in class. He reads verbatim from the slides and none of the information is relevant for the tests/hw. Very little grades in the class and almost no one finishes the exams.

The worst teacher i have ever had at Clemson, he refuses to curve exams despite class averages being below 60, the exams themselves feature material that was never even vaguely discussed in class. the worst part is that he speaks to you as though you already know the material. take ANYONE but him

This teacher knows about his profession but that doesn't help people learn. His lectures go at lightspeed and it is hard to keep up with and his homework problems are extremely hard and take forever to do outside of class. Devote your life to this class or door poorly.

He is awful, never had a teacher so inept at teaching as him. The tests are impossibly difficult and will cover stuff that he wont even teach beforehand, he seems to expect us to be as well versed in finance as him, despite us never taking fin before. The class is horribly set up and he gets angry at the class for suffering from his awful teaching.

take anyone but this guy. awful at his job and doesnt seem like the greatest guy either. he gives you stuff on the exam that has NEVER been seen before. not sure how he is in this job in all honesty

He lectures the whole class from un-detailed powerpoint's that don't help when studying. Barley any practice problems, exams are weighted heavily towards final grades with class averages in the 60's range, including material that has never been discussed in class. He's a nice, lighthearted guy but needs to switch up his teaching style.

The worst professor I have ever taken. Extremely hard tests and homework that takes hours to complete. Exams are long written packets and include things he doesn't teach, takes weeks to get back. Averages are always 60 or lower but he doesn't believe in curving because he thinks it's not deserved. This man is just praying on everyones downfall.

He is horrible to deal with, tries his best to subtly embarrass any student who asks a question. He will be angry when the class inevitably performs poorly, of course thats down to his extremely difficult tests and the fact that he either refuses or is simply unable to prepare students adequately. Bad teacher, bad person.

worst professor at Clemson, his overall rating is deceptively high. The tests are ridiculously meticulous, and go too far in depth into the material. In order to do well, you need to have a financial mind and most students at this stage simply do not have one. Take ANY professor but this one

Professor Wolf is single-handedly the worst educator I've had the displeasure of learning from. He has a unique ability to make students feel incompetent and unintelligent for simply asking clarifying questions about the material he presents so poorly. He is undoubtedly very knowledgeable, but he is not good at teaching. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

First off, I never wanted to ask him for help because he would make me feel embarrassed whenever I did. He also did this to many other students who would ask questions during class. This is definitely a challenging class but teaching is not his niche that is for sure. I do not really understand how he chose to become a lecturer.

Do whatever you can to not take his course

Dont take Prof Wolf!!!! He expects you to know the material before teaching it, gets mad when you ask questions, finishes a 40 page powerpoint in one class period because he talks 100 mph,doesnt care about his students well being.Tests are ridiculously hard and theres no curve. If you dont dedicate your life to this class, you wont do well.

If you want to pass Fin 3110, take a different professor. He doesn't care about his students, and tests are nearly impossible to pass.

He turns an easy class into one that you have to put all of your efforts into pass. If you ask him a question he will just circle around for a minute and will not give you a answer.

Dr. Wolf expects you to read/do practice problems before class and know the material like a pro. He goes too fast in class; half the time I couldn't keep up. The hw took 2-3 hours and was nothing like the exams which were difficult and impossible to study for and graded toughly. The math was simple, but Dr. Wolf made it complex. Do not recommend!!!

I miss the days I didn't know Dr. Wolf. Take someone else

Lots of homework and the homework does not help for exams. Prof is very intelligent but does not know how to teach. He does not curve exams even when the class avg is a 60. Speaks to you in a condescending manner. Stay away.

You will spend every single class being lectured, and these lectures did nothing for my learning. Even the exams that I thought I did better on, I could not get above a 64. Painfully boring and absolutely destroyed my gpa. Get ready to be confused. I will say he gives previous exams to help but other than that you are on your own. goodluck!

This was by far the hardest class I have ever taken only because of Professor Wolf. The lectures are very long and boring and do not correlate to the homework or tests. The tests were very hard and unlike anything we would do in class. If you have the option I DO NOT RECCOMEND taking Professor Wolf.

If he is in your schedule just drop the class and find a different professor. The average for most of the exams was below a C and he doesn't curve. Save yourself the trouble.

I have never had a professor as bad as Professor Wolf. He goes through the PowerPoints and problems in class so fast that you have no time to take notes or understand what's going on. The tests are on paper and have problems that are way more difficult than the ones done in class. I would never recommend to take this professor to anyone.

Professor Wolf is the worst professor I have ever had at Clemson. Look at the grade distributions and it will tell you all you need to know (50% F or W). Test are impossible with concepts/formulas that are never discussed. His wife is the Chair of the Finance Department so he could care less about actually doing his job bc she will just save him.

This is easily my least favorite professor at Clemson. I avoided him for 3 years because of the horror stories but I had no way around not taking him. His homework incredibly time consuming and he never gives grades above a 90. He goes on tangents in class about nothing and then expects us to do the work all by ourselves.

If you have Jack Wolf for FIN 3110 just go ahead and drop if and find a different professor.

Actually the worst professor I have every had. The tests are ridiculous. No matter how much I studied I never felt prepared.

He knew me all 3 years at Clemson, wouldn't help me in my honors course after hours of going to office hours and asking him for help. I needed this class to graduate with honors and of course my last semester I got kicked out. All my hardwork for 4 years Jack Wolfe ripped it all away from me. Seriously never take him, he will destroy your life!

I saw the reviews and thought I would maybe be different. I was wrong. His lectures make 0 sense and the formulas he uses are way too complex for what is such simple math. Tests are impossible and in class problems/notes do not prepare you. I seriously do not know how one can succeed in this class. Trust me and avoid him. No point in the stress.

Do not take if you can help it. Lectures and homework have basically nothing to do with exams, class average on exams is usually a D. If you have any chance of succeeding you have to spend 8+ hours a week outside of class teaching yourself the content. Only gives 3 exams and the final, can't exempt final unless you made a 92% + on every exam.

Genuinely if you are considering to take this professor look at his grade distributions. A 7% A rate, 23% F rate, and 10% W rate should tell you everything you need to know. I wouldn't wish this man's class on anyone, probably the worst professor in the state of South Carolina. Stay FAR away.

Worst professor I've ever had here. Thinks he's better than everyone. Thinks he's doing the world a favor by making exams impossible to weed out students but he's just a horrible teacher and asks a bunch of stuff on exams that's completely irrelevant to the material.

Never gotten a D before in a class in my life until this. AWFUL DO NOT TAKE HIM. Your grade is based on the 4 exams and they're impossible and nothing like the practice exams. He just says words at you and expects you to understand. Exam 2 was the day after fall break and exam 3 was the day after thanksgiving, and the final was A WEEK after exam 3.
