You will not learn anything if you take this guy. You might get a good grade just because he knows he is so bad but be prepared to sit in a classroom and not know what the guy is talking about. He has no interest in teaching students and could care less if the students want to learn.

He is so lazy. Unorganized and doesn't provide reasonable material or instructions to complete tasks. He only teaches half the lecture time you pay for which seemed great at first but even in that time he rushes through and most of the class is lost and then he refers us to watch a video which doesn't exist. Yet he has high standards for results

The summer has been a mess, he hasn't taught at all really and the videos only semi-match for the first midterm after that well I hope you caught everything he blurted out in 5 min or you are screwed.

Took his online class at Clemson and he didn't grade anything until the week of exams. Our class was told at the end of the semester "You can calculate your own grade. I will not do it for you." He was hard to contact and when he did respond he gave short rude answers. The only reason I got an A in this class was because I taught myself and chegg.

I took Prof. Godbey online at Clemson. We did not know our grade until the last day of classes. He told us that we could calculate our own grade that he will not do it for us. His emails were not professional at all if you asked a question and sometimes it took 2-3 days to get a response and by that time it was too late to turn in the assignment.

This dude was literally THE WORST professor I've had and I'm usually very forgiving to instructors. Never responds to emails , he doesn't have to do anything because the class is taught through a book online, he just posts videos of him solving the problems. Be prepared to put time into his class. MADE US TAKE FINAL WHEN THEY WERE OPTIONAL!!

Clemson btw, this dude sucks. He completely changed the format of the final because the grades were "too good" and he couldn't explain that to his boss. 4 homeworks a week that are annoying, use chegg. Tests take from hw, so just create an excel sheet with the formulas and easy A. Calculate your grade on your own because it will never be on Canvas.

This is the second time I have taken him and I am once again so disappointed. This man is the most useless teacher on the planet. He moves way too fast, expects you to know everything prior to coming into class, and his exams are ABSURD. Do not take Excel Modeling with him it is miserable.

The maximum grade he'll give you is a 90. He doesn't consider anything perfect and uses that to justify his poorly thought out grading criteria. This is detrimental to anyone who is on the border of a letter grade. Do not take him.

This class is just so hard that I think it would be bad with any teacher but he also is nowhere to help. He doesn't really answer emails. Tests are long but exactly like homeworks.

Absolute worst professor I have ever taken. He doesn't teach you important parts of what you need on your exam, didn't post any course content, expects you to learn without showing you how to use functions. 3 tests weighed at 30% and a project for 10%. He grades based on his own opinion of how you did, not clear criteria. Dont take him.

Clemson here, this professor is a joke. Doesn't respond to emails, forces you to calculate your own grade (w/o explaining the grading scale), and only holds "class" once a week after you learn by yourself. I had to use chegg and build a 30+ page excel sheet to pass and we only passed the final by forcing him to put it online. Terrible teacher, nogo

Horrible Professor. Showed up late to an exam, made typos on 2 of the 3 exams, and throws in concepts he has never mentioned. His syllabus, which he didn't bother posting in the appropriate place, doesn't even have a layout of what topics will be covered on which dates. He doesn't post grades. You have to come in person to find out your scores.

Dude makes you buy his book, which is written in the form of a novel. All this really accomplishes is dumping metric f tons of information on you with zero explanation. He does have videos at the end of chapters walking through problems, however he doesnt explain half of the things he does. \

Hands down one of the worst professors I ever encountered. First of all he lets some graduate assistants teach his course who unfortunately in my case (Soyun Nam) were absolutely terrible in effectively and efficiently conveying concepts and information. Secondly, his explanations are so bad and so unstructured it is just painful to deal with.

The worst professor I've ever had. The class load was light, but we had multiple concerns about assignments not being posted. He would send short and rude emails back when emailing about dates/ issues and even the project's due date. Or he would never reply. Oh, he also won't give credit for missed assignments that weren't posted.

I'm taking finance to learn basic finance concepts, not to read a boring novel. I can't believe FI 3000 professors are having us read Godbey's book - it's a total scam. Also, if you look at the positive reviews on this page, they seem like they were written by the same person, with minor style alterations. Would rate 0 stars if I could

Easy class but Zero communication with professor and heavy grade on the Group project

I took FIN3060 as a Clemson student and this was an asynchronous online course. I do NOT recommend. Throughout the year, he was rude and uncommunicative with students. Also there was no way to know our grades. If you do get stuck with him, use the Excel for all homework and exams

Very unclear grading criteria and expects you to know stuff without teaching it

Thought it would be easy because it was online, I taught myself more than he taught me. He puts grades in the gradebook that "don't count" so you don't know your actually grade until the end of class, unless you figure it out yourself. Exams are nothing like the homework. Said to study homework problems for final then locked them on McGraw Hill.

Horrible professor. Takes 2+ weeks to respond to multiple emails, due dates are different on the syllabus and changes them as he wants. Multiple quizzes, discussions and 1 optional project if you want an A in the class. The final is nothing like any of the quizzes. Feels like he puts 1% into organizing these courses which sets us up for failure.

Class structure is a mess. There are clear cut grading criteria but it is a mishmash of typical percentile grades and other requirements that can drop you a whole letter by not completing. The group project is "optional" but mandatory for an "A" which for online is a terrible idea. Modules feel disjointed and Prof. has issues replying to emails.

I will never take another course with him. Grading "bundles" were very unclear- if you end the course with an A but didn't do the opportunity project that's OPTIONAL, you won't receive an A in the course. I emailed him multiple times and never got a response. Had to pay $20 to take the mandatory final. I paid almost $600 to take this course too.

This dude was the course coordinator for my course. From what I understand he is inaccessible. He also structured the course where you have homework everyday. You will be dropped if you miss 4 classes (it doesn't matter what the reason is). He also created a mock final for our final exam. However the final exam was nothing like the mock??? Awful.

Imagine getting a high A on every assignment and an 88 on the midterm and receiving a B in the class and you'll have a basic understanding of how dumb and rigid his grade bundle system is. You will have to complete every single assignment near perfectly to get an A, he's super disorganized and the deadlines are inconsistent, not hard but avoid!

I took his financial modeling class and he basically didn't taught us anything. We were doing everything ourselves.i would never take this class again. I recommend nobody should take him.

Temporarily has this teacher and I see why his reviews are negative. He just talks for like 15 min without explaining how to do the problems and expects everyone to understand. Don't waste your time he does not teach.

All he does is have a zoom available once a week, other than that he does nothing. Assignments are posted at beginning of the year and all assignments for a chapter are due on the same date before tests. There is also a group element that makes no sense and is not graded but required. You should probably take this class in person instead of online.

This class isn't even hard, but the way he grades stuff is ridiculous. I was supposed to get a B because I did everything according to his grading system "bundle" and ended up getting a C. I repeat, do not take absolutely terrible.

If there are any other options for professors, take them. His grading system is rigid, not flexible, and quite honestly terrible. Course content is not difficult, however his weekly meetings are not engaging, nor are they helpful. Good luck if you must endure this.

He is awful on all fronts. Everything for his class is online, and quizzes/midterms/finals are essentially the same thing, so easy A there. Doesn't teach and group project dictates if you make a good grade. Just talks about nothing substantive and qualitative about his teaching, and the topics in class are nothing new and important to learn.

Class is very disorganized and the lectures are prerecorded and incredibly dull. Grading system is very irrational.

This was the last class I had to take before graduation. Never felt obligated to leave a poor review about a professor before. Grading system makes no sense. Professor acts inconvenienced when you email with questions. Although is very knowledgeable in the lectures, I would still recommend an alternative course/professor.

In 3 years, this was the worst professor I have ever had.I emailed him 4 times, and never got back any response. Lowest grade was a 95 and still got a B due to his so called grading bundle. There is a group project that determines if you get an A in the course, but with it being on online E core course the class has people from all over the state.

The professor lacks the ability to maintain an organized online course. Follows an arbitrary grading bundle policy that relies on completion of modules that he, on numerous counts, failed to even unlock or grade. Getting an A requires participating in an "optional" group project, for which he gave no criteria besides one side comment.Absolute mess.

Grading system is unnecessarily complicated and inefficient. Vague email responses. Has an optional project but it's necessary to receive an A. Project details are mentioned very briefly in one lecture, and there is zero content/guidelines about it anywhere on the class page. Feels that this professor doesn't care about his students.
