Best professor to take - very easy - Don't take policka

Great teacher. Knows his stuff.

Take this guy! He keeps the class interesting and isn't hard on his students. No HW, easy tests and he's helpful. Also he is a very GENEROUS grader!

Great professor, explains the material very good. Knows his stuff.

he's a bad teacher. says "aum" a million times and is boring as hell. u don't learn much from his lectures either. if u just want an easy grade without learning then i guess u could take him. homeworks aren't collected and doesn't take attendance.

Great professor and a very nice guy. If you need help just ask and he will help you. Very generous grater. Just take him

The easiest and funniest guy. Take him and you are guatanted to A. 2 midterms, final noncumulitive, no HW, nothing. Gives good helpful reviews.

He is the greatest prof in the whole school. Seriously if you want to learn plenty and actually get a decent grade, then definatelly take him. Also very helpfull if you have a problem, answers all questions+ awesome exam reviews. After his class i actually wanted to take more classes with him.

He's definitely knows alot about the subject but is not very effective in getting the message across.He's a good person but his teaching style tends to be a bit boring. He's easily approachable and emphasizes the fact that he is available if you have any problems. Test are from the notes, what you don't understand just ask. "A" potential class.

I personally don't think he has favorites. This is not the greatest prof, but if you are more focused on getting a good grade take his class. Attend class and take good notes and that's all you will need.

This guy is easy. He goes over basically everything that he wants you to know for the test in class. He gives reviews that tell you exactly what's going to be on the test, and basically he's an easy teacher. If you want you can pay attention and you'll learn, if you want don't pay attention and you'll still do good.

You don't have to go to class but there are a few things that he tells you only in class to help you. He gives you a review which tells you exactly what he will cover. My friend cheated and got an A-. I didn't cheat and got a B-. You have choices but I guarantee that anyone can get at least a B-. He doesn't like to give anyhting lower than that.

Great Professor! If you are interested in learning alot take this professor. Not an automatic A, but he is very helpful.

I enjoyed the course very much. True, I did have to study but it was worth it. Great professor if you want to learn finance and have fun in the process. What he taught is also helpful in the real world. Recommended for the serious learner.

If you are interested in learning about real world issues in finance take him. Best professor at Baruch. I wish the school had more professor's like him

Great professors. He is very nice with students. I took him in the summer and the class was very interesting. He also makes many jokes about his personal life. His class is relativly easy for a 4000 level class. Probably in general corporate finance is easier than investments. If you go to class you should get at least a B+.

I just loved this guy. He was hilarious in every single class. You come to class for his jokes and take notes. Tests come directly from what he went over class which is mostly formulas. Take him. You will have fun, learn and come out of it with a good grade. If you do miss class it becomes difficult to get a good grade though.

I loved his class! He is funny, and actually a very kind professor. If you have questions, he will make time for you, even he haven't had his dinner at 8pm! He gives review sheet and don't surprise us so you will know what you have to study. (Not like some mean tricky professors!) Take him if you want to get higher grade! Recommended.

Great professor! You will learn alot and you will enjoy yourself in the process. If you want to learn finance, take his course.

You really dont need to know more than what he teaches for now. YEs, if ur an Acc major it is even easier than he makes this class. The summer session was great. Highly recomended if you want ann A. Tests are just like class problems-exactly.

He is a nice person, that is an easy grader.If you are a finance major take him for an easy A. For us Accountants he is the Best. Funny man. I wonder why a nice jewish boy like him is not married?

I have a good background in finance and still learned alot from this Professor. He presents information in a way that makes learning easier and fun.

This professor teaches what you need to know and then some. He is very helpful if you do not understand. His exams are fair and if you follow his instructions you should do well in his class.

He is one of the best Prof. at Baruch coll. Teaches whats important in real life. Terms and methods that you need to know after you graduate. The BEST ...

He is funny, polite, and helpful. You can't ask for a better professor in Baruch than him. Take him, go to class, and you'll pass the class. It's important to copy and do the questions he gives in class because the exam questions are very similar.

Changed since before doesn't grade as easy and tests are harder then what I was told and rude to guys take someone else

He is a good professor.I took him during the summer. He works for SEC during the day, and he teaches during evening. He shows you how to do the questions, and his exam questions are so similar to the ones he gives you. Definitely take him!

Best Prof. in Baruch college. He gives 2-3 tests which are exactly the same as the problems he does in the class. There is no required attendance in the class. Take him if you can.

He is THE BEST Finance prof. Even though you do not think that you learn much with him, but after I too 4610 I realized that I have learned a lot and understand how it all works. I wish more Prof. wood be like him and test students on what they learn and not just try to fail them so they will pay more $$$ to the college.

He is a great professor. I learnt so much and he was very helpful to me. He gave me some good ideas about how to learn. I wish he taught more finance courses. If you want to learn finance and willing to work at it then take this professor. Those that complain are those looking for an easy A without studying.

These comments about him are crazy. He is a great professor and I really learned alot in his class. He is always willing to help a student. Those that complain about him are not really interested in learning. His comments in his class made coming to class enjoyable.

Great teacher! He makes himself available if you need help in the course. Those that don't like him are expecting a good grade without studying. He is helping me out in the course. He also gave me some good ideas about getting a job. He is really a nice person.

You must read the book at least ones before coming in class If you want to get B- you need to come to class and take good notes. For A you need to work hard. Do problems and you?ll get a!!! Exams are very tricky!! If you did well in fin 3000 you should get at least B. good luck!!! I definitely would take him again. PS NO FORMULA SHEET ON EXAMS.

Professor Hirsch is a very nice guy and it is apparent that he tries hard for his students. Unfortunately, he needs to change his teaching style. Lectures are not very helpful, and he doesn't offer any PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS. Tells you to do problems in the textbook and allows to be handed in for grading...USELESS! NO FORMULA SHEET on exam

Great teacher and learned alot. You need to attend class, participate, and study. If you do all that, you will learn and he will help you get the best grade that you deserve. Worth taking if you are interested in learning and learning how to learn.

Fine teacher and really learned about finance. Attend class and study. Prof will help you. Ask questions if you dont understand. He gives a formula sheet and does give a fair test.

He is a great teacher and I learned a lot. I asked him questions and he spent time answering them. His exams are very fair. He always offers to help students and former students.

Very cool dude.  Tests are fair but designed for you to get a B if you don't go the extra mile and read the text.  Alwsys 2-3 questions on exams that you have to read book to clearly know how to answer.  3 MC exams 20 - 25 questions. 25% 25% 50%. No curving. No Attendance but enjoyed coming to class.  Funny. Would def take again. - "Mr. President."

I am an accounting student. I took his class just to get enough creidts to graduate. Professor made the class very easy. Just take good notes and listen to his lectures. I got an A without reading the textbook in class. The exams were very easy compared to the accounting exams that I have had in my life.

Very helpful and he knows his stuff. Best thing about him is he teaches what you need to know for his class and in the job market. His course is not easy and you do have to study. I wish Baruch had more teachers like him.

Great professor and he explains material very well. If you want to do well in his class you need to read the book, attend every class, and do the homework. He is also very helpful to me. Those that complain are looking for a good grade without doing any work.

So far he is the best professor I had at Baruch.I did homework and read the book but class lectures were the most helpful.If you want he will spend time with you and help you out not like other professors. He also likes to share his business experience which is great.

Take him only if you read the book, do homework, and come to class. His exams are not easy if you do not study. He will help you out. I could have done better in his class if I would have spent more time studying. He is very nice and better than most of the other professors.

Take him if you want to learn finance the way it should be taught. Spends time in class explaining how to solve not only one question but lots of questions that are like the one he is explaining. He is nice to his students and willing to help you out.

I learnt alot about finance and found the professor helpful. You have to be prepared before class by reading the chapter and doing the homework. His experience helps alot in understanding the material discussed in class.

Homework and exams are from questions in the textbook so no surprises. If you do homework and come to class you can get a good grade. Prof spent time helping me with homework. He is one of the better prof at Baruch.

Professor knows finance and if you do homework and hand it in he then helps you. He spent time showing me mistakes in my homework which helped me do better on the exam. Exam was fair.

He is a great professor, and you will learn a lot from the class! Worth taking.

Prof is a really good teacher. He made the required readings easier to understand and gave lots of real world examples. I enjoyed his class.

I have taken Prof Hirsch twice and he is great. His class is tough to get in to because he teaches what you need to know. His slides and notes are very helpful and questions come from the textbook.

Not easy but very fair. You need to study to get a good grade. I attended class and learned a lot. He helps you out if you ask and he helped me to get an internship and a job.

Took two courses with Prof. Hirsch. He helps out with slides, notes, and gives answers to the practice questions which are on the exams. You do need to study if you want a good grade. Likes to help out students and helped me prepare for an interview for an internship.

Attend his classes because he explains the material and he is available to help you if you have questions. He is also helping me with my resume and has good suggestions about how to do well on an interview.

Teaches what you need to know for exams and the real world. No extra credit but exams are very fair. Nice person and will help you in the course and gave me good advice about getting an internship.

Good professor! PPT slides and notes were good and exams were fair. It helps to come to class.

He is a great prof! Professor provides PowerPoint slides with notes and questions and answers that helps prepare for exams. He is always available to answer questions. In class he presents lots of real world examples.

This Professor is willing to spend time if you need it. His PPT slides and notes are great and his Q&A helped me prepare for his tests. He knows a lot about finance and also talks in class about the 'real world' of finance which is great now that I found a job in the field.

Professor is very fair. His powerpoint slides, notes, and discussion in class helps prepare for his tests which are not easy. He also gives real world examples which is really good to hear if you are looking for a job in finance.

Great professor. He gives questions and solutions that will be on the exam. Also, his real world examples are very helpful and intersting. Great Professor!

Talks in class about topics good to know in finance and will be on the exam. No surprises with his exams because he provides questions and answers beforehand. He also reviewed my resume and gave me good advice about interviews. I enjoyed taking his class.

No extra credit and you need to study but good PowerPoint slides with notes and all exam questions come from study questions and answers. In class, covers chapters in the textbook and sometimes mentions how it applies to the financial industry. Overall, very fair and helpful.

Took last semester and highly recommended. Provides study Q&A after each chapter and addditional Q&A before each exam. Helps to attend class to know what he spends time discussing which often is on exams. Go to office hours if you have questions or need advice about a resume, job, or grad school.

I enjoyed his class and he presents topics so that they are interesting and useful if you want to work in finance. Also topics covered in class are on the exam and he gives out Q&A to help prepare for the exam. He also gave me good advice about looking for a job, graduate school and he reviewed my resume.

In class he covers topics you need to know and then talks about how its done in the workplace. You can tell that he enjoys to teach. Exams are not so easy but they are fair because he gives study questions and gave the class some extra credit. Very good professor.

Prof Hirsch was helpful during this very difficult semester. His PowerPoint slides had a lot of good information to explain the chapter. He answered all my emails and his study questions are similar to exam questions.

Prof. Hirsch helped me and I highly recommend him. His notes and prep for exam helped.

No extra credit but very nice. His notes are informative and gave questions to study to prepare for exams. It was a difficult semester for everyone but Prof. Hirsch kept in touch with us by email.

Prof Hirsch gave good course notes and exam questions. No extra credit and grade based on exams. He is caring and helpful and did a good job even after going to distance learning.

Professor Hirsch provides very good class notes and questions with answers to prepare for his exams which are very fair. He does not give extra credit because he does not have to curve and course grade is based on score on exams. Ask for help if you need it because he is a really nice person and he helped me.

Professor Hirsch is a dedicated educator. You have to study but he provides good PowerPoint slides and notes, study questions, and Zoom sessions. Tests are not easy but if you work and email him he responds quickly and is helpful.

Grades are from 4 exams, no homework or case study like other profs. Exams are doable and he provides a ton of review questions that are exactly the same on the exam or similar for you to study. Offers a lot of other study materials and notes. His lectures are like podcast and no recorded lectures. Genuinely cares about his students and hilarious.

Not easy and you have to review lots of information he provides. But study questions with answers very helpful for preparing for tests. Nice person and I enjoyed the course.

Nice guy! He provides power point slides and notes with so much information but his zoom presentation and written notes and tons of practice questions with answers really help. I wish other teachers at Baruch would do the same.

Professor provides lots of information to prepare for exams which come from study questions. Responds quickly to emails and set up a one-on-one Zoom session to discuss my exam and advice about internships. I know of at least five other students who he did the same. Really good professor!

Wish he allowed backtracking but very fair. Always finds time to respond via email or Zoom. Does not rely on Blackboard to grade exams like other professors but goes over to make sure grade is correct. Test mostly from study questions.

Would like a curve and wish there was backtracking but otherwise very very fair. Exam questions come from lots of study questions and answers. Sometimes changes words or numbers for the exam but the answers is always there. Gives written notes of every Zoom lecture which is better than audio because you can not always hear it so well.

Great professor. Only changes a few study questions on the exam otherwise the same. Helpful and very fair.

I would definitely take again for another course! He does not record Zoom class but provides an outline which is more helpful. Study questions and ppt slides and notes. Never deducted points on my exam.

Very fair professor. I had to wait a semester to get in to his course because it fills up quickly. Im glad I waited. PPT slides, summary notes for each chapter, and study questions for every exam. Exam questions very fair if you study.

Professor Hirsch is a very sweet guy. He is always willing to meet out of class regarding material or anything professional. That being said, lectures weren't so helpful, he basically just read off of the slides which he provides on Blackboard. Study the problems he gives out before the exam and the lectures (with the notes) and you should be fine.

Prof provides lots of material to study and prepare for exams. You have to read but if you do you can do well on exams because questions are similar to handouts. Lectures focus on topics which may be on exam or are good to know. Overall, I am glad that I am taking the course.

I enjoyed taking professor Hirsch because he provides some real world examples and lots of review questions with solutions. There is lots to learn and and grade based on three exams and a final. Not easy but he is a nice person.

Zoom session provides overview, notes and study questions with answers helpful to prepare for exams. Responds to emails quickly. Will spend time if you ask to help clarify.

Provides lots of study materials and Zoom notes which you should read before his lectures because his lectures only cover the main topics. If you reach out to him he will spend time helping you to understand things.

Lectures cover main points of chapters so you need to read handouts before class. If you do you will be okay. Exams are not easy but fair because they are similar to Q&A he provides after each chapter. If you email him he will reply quickly.

Solid choice! a bit older and can have an attitude at times but you'll learn what you need. He has a no bs attitude so don't think you can miss attendance or anything else like that. Work hard and participate to get an A

I barely came to his lectures, however when I did he was very nice and knowlagable. He curved everything a lot! There were 3 quizzes out of which only 2 best affected the grade. 2 HWs per week. Easy A if you are good at reviewing homeworks, notes and slides. He also would respond to emails in a timely manner, cool guy!

I came to almost every class. His lectures were helpful because he explained the slides so I understood it better. He was very nice and knows the subject. There was a curve and he dropped the lowest grade. Not an easy A but very fair. He always responded to my emails. A very kind person.

Read the chapters and you'll do well. Pre and post chapter assignments due each week. 3 quizzes which are curved and he drops the lowest one.

Material is pretty easy. You can get an A just looking through the slides and not going to class. Homeworks are easy and will teach you how to solve the problems.

He's a caring, responsible professor. You need to do 2 ez HW every week. You have to take 3 quizzes and he will drop the lowest score. The final has 40 questions and counts for 40% of your grade. For quizzes and the final, just need to repeat the HW over and over again, and you will find out 85% of the questions are from the HW.

The professor provides helpful resources like Zoom notes and Q&As, but you need to put in the work to do well. Use Unstuck ai alongside the textbook and attend office hours for extra support.

Knows finance and helpful if you ask him. Provides lots of study tools to help prepare for quizzes. Need to study to keep up. Drops lowest grade on one of three quizzes.

The easiest professor at Baruch take him. Easy A, just boring at lectures but if you study you will do great.

The course is not easy but prof knows finance and is interesting because he shares real-world examples with class. Drops the lowest quiz score and one homework. Exams are fair and he does a good job preparing class.

Class is straightforward. Two weekly assignments - not graded and takes no time (20%), 3 quizzes, he drops the lowest (40%), and a final (40%). As long as you focus on the homework questions and read his class presentations, you will do fine. He gives hints on the quizzes and exams. Overall, he is a cool prof. Definitely would take again!!

If you want to actually learn then do not take him as he is very boring and will put you to sleep. However if you just want a good grade then take him because all of his quizzes and the final is taken from the hw questions which are easy as is

Nice prof. Focuses on real-world issues and knows lots about financial industry. Drops lowest quiz score, drops some missed assignments. Good review before exams and hints on exams. Would take again.
