Not bad for Finn Modeling. IDK about anything else.

No, No, No. Do not take. He is very intelligent, but doesn't know how to teach it. You will probably pass with him, but most people aren't making good grades. He class is EXTREMELY boring. He only gives tests. A few quizzes at first, but No homework or practice. In financial resources, you need to practice.

Hard class but he is always willing to help. Great teacher and you will learn a lot.

This was the hardest and most rewarding course I have taken at the UofA. Dr Acrey truly cares about his students success and will go out of his way to help you understand. His midterms and assignments were very tough but he was very helpful with any problems and made sure that everyone worked hard and did well.

This was the first class that I actually felt like I came out of having known a lot more than when I entered. Acrey is a good guy with a desire to help you. This class has a large workload, but it is extremely rewarding. Hardly any "busy work". If you ask for help, he almost always comes through with more than you anticipate.

Awesome teacher for financial resources. He keeps you thinking but reviews a lot before exams so you understand what will be on the test. As long as you go to class and answer the questions you will have no trouble getting an A

I don't know how it's possible to not get an A. 3 days of review before every test. extra credit everyday (from the easy quizzes). straight forward homework assignments (which are very few). No use of the book... oh and the best of all.... HIS FINAL CANNOT HURT YOUR GRADE. It can only help your grade if it's higher than another test.

Great professor. If you have the chance to take him in the future I would do so.

Goes out of his way to make sure students understand what he expects, and cares about the studnets. Lots of work in the class, but doesn't expect a lot of work to be done outside of class, so it feels easier even though you end up doing a lot of work over the semester. He lightens up his lectures with goofy random rants.

Great professor who truly cares about you understanding the material. Very helpful and there are a lot of opportunities to bring up your grade.

This guy is crazy. I loved taking his class. He finds some off the wall comment or snarky angle to wake you up during even the most boring topics. Always glad to help when I asked, and always pumped us up. Lots of positive reinforcement in a hard and rewarding class.

Great teacher, use ALL of his practice exams to study, they will get you an A. Know your material because he does surprise you with in depth questions but because he demands hard work, he rewards hard work. Awesome teacher, highly recommended.

Notes about the class: You don't need a textbook. You don't HAVE to show up to class. the practice tests and reviews are HIGHLY correlated to the test. Notes about the teacher: He is awesome. Class is filled with his highly skepticism of corporations which is pretty funny sometimes. He can tell when you put in work and does reward it. Take him.

A really nice guy and rewards hard work. Practice tests are highly correlated to exams. No book needed. Attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend attending to understand class topics. I'd take this guy over the other professors teaching this course!

Cash is an AMAZING professor. You do need to attend class because he uses clickers for in-class points, plus some of the clicker questions are bonus! Sign up for SI if you want extra-credit. If you study the clicker questions in his power points, you will make AT LEAST a B on all of his tests. NO FINAL! Also he says to not waste money on textbooks!

Very easy to get a good grade in Acrey's classes. He is truly the only professor I've had that WANTS you to make a good grade. He's very clear, lectures can be boring, but if you pay the slightest attention, go to class and do all the assignments, you'll get an A. Highly recommend his classes.

Take Data Analysis with Cash, He is really smart and will help you if you need it. Seriously, if you have to take this class try and take it with him.

Cash is by far the best teacher I've ever had at the University of Arkansas. I took Data Analysis with him and he was great. The lectures aren't bad, he takes homework late, and he'll work with you. If he sees that you're trying he'll see that you receive the grade you deserve. Definitely take him.

Cash is a cool guy. The lectures were super boring but I hate financemoneybanking courses. He is literally there to help you get an A. if you don't get an A, that means that you didn't put in any effort.

Take this guy for International Finance. Must go to class for clicker questions but he gives like 6 questions a day and 1 or 2 are for extra credit, which means you can miss plenty and still get over 100%. You get a cheat sheet for each test, the final is not comprehensive and he throws out like 2 questions from every test. No book, he's a cool guy

You won't find a better teacher than Cash. If you see a Finance class with "James Acrey" next to it, you sign up for his class in a heartbeat. By far the easiest, and best finance professor at this university. Tests are easy: You get a cheat sheet, and his multiple choice are A, B, and C. Clicker points are a big help for your overall grade.

If you have to take intro to finance then sign up for this guy. I hate finance and made an A because he's a great teacher. Made things interesting. You need to attend class every day because there are clicker questions daily but they are a great help for your overall grade. Tests are straight forward if you study.

There's a hard project at the end of this class, but Cash will try to help you out as much as he can. He's a great guy and a good teacher. However, if you don't come to class and ask questions you will not pass.

Loved him! Gives a ton of extra credit and a cheat sheet. Practice tests are exactly like the test. Also, all the clicker questions are online.

One of the best professors to take. Would unquestionably recommend Dr. Acrey for Financial Analysis. The final will crush your soul, but for the earlier tests, you're allowed to use your own cheat sheet. OG Cash is absolutely brilliant and can make you a financial analysis wizard if you put in the time & effort. Always question the system.

I had him for Financial Analysis and Data Analysis. He is the best teacher at the U of A and they are lucky to have him. Before I took his data class I didn't know if I would be smart enough for a business major. Before I took 3013 I was unsure about my Finance major. He changed that. Take his class and don't hesitate cause he fills up fast now.

Cash is a smart man, and enjoys what he is teaching. His analysis class is a little tough due to the large amount of material, but he does a good job of conveying it all. Clicker points every class. 2 tests. Extremely long and time-consuming final project, which counts as the final exam. No homework.

Best teacher I have had! Has a really energetic style and enjoys what he does. Final is very hard but he answers questions about it... just block off some time to finish it.

He has a lot of energy, which helps with an otherwise really boring class! Very responsive.

His take-home final destroyed me! Once it was over I could look back and feel accomplished, I think I may bring it with me on job interviews!

Cash is a very interesting professor. He clearly wants to keep you interested in any of his classes. The only thing hard about his class are the projects. He doesn't look at the homework and the midterm and final are exactly like his practice tests. I will definitely look to take another Cash class again in the future.

Love this guy. Makes some really boring stuff exciting and was patient with questions. The project was open-ended which was a little intimidating, but he was not brutal on grading that and it was interesting.

Creates an exciting atmosphere, and is approachable about class problems. not always easy to keep up with... read before class.

Loved Cash! Class is rough but he did a lot to prepare us for the big exam at the end.

Grades are based on 3 tests (100 points each) and 100 points for clicker. So you need to do good on the tests to do good in this class. Different teaching style but I liked it. He is very funny. Tests are only like 20-30 questions long too. Never used textbook but maybe thats why I didnt do as well (i dont think so though)

You'll spend a lot of time on this class. There are 2 EconLab assignments each week and then either a discussion or blog post due each Wednesday. There is a research paper of 2500 words due towards the end of the semester. Two exams that are very difficult. I failed them both and still got a B. Get 100s on weekly hw and you'll be fine.

Acrey is a good prof but his lectures were long. But he's funny and there's no homework. Tests were pretty easy and he gave practice tests to prepare. Probably the best principles prof. Only thing I don't like is that clicker points (20% of grade) were based on a percentage of right/wrong. I think that should've been participation.

Cash is an AWESOME guy. He'd start every lecture SUPER enthusiastically and would always play his own music before class and show pictures of his adorable kids. Principals of finance isn't even that hard a class, and I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. I had a bad feeling he didn't like me, so I wish I would have never spoken in class.

Uhhh this was an insanely easy class. Just know the powerpoints very well and don't miss any quizzes. Not a very hard or stressful class, just stay on top of things.

Loved him, honestly he understands your a college student and helps out. As long as you do your work and watch his recorded lectures you will be fine!

Super nice guy. Had a question about a paper and offered to talk about it on the spot despite it being an online class. Taken a couple classes with him and theyve all been good. I would recommend. There is a bit of homework, but its pretty manageable if you just stay on top of it.

I was hesitant to take this course after reviews, but not many options for professors are available online. However, I made this account specifically to come give $ a GREAT review. Yes, it was a difficult class, it's finance, but he cared, offered endless support, gave opportunities for better grades, and was enthusiastic. I HIGHLY recommend Cash!
