I learned a lot from Kashi, and he's just plain funny to listen to.
HORRIBLE! Class appears very easy but I learned nothing. Gives you a grade in the class that does not represent your attendance, the work you put in, or what you thought your grade was going into the final. Total waste of a semester. Also he thinks state students are far less intelligent than the students at Berkeley where he used to teach..
great, friendly, helpful
OUTSTANDING Professor, Enormously Intelligent, Saintly, with good human heart

One of the most brilliant professors. I missed some classes, and he scheduled some extra sessions for us and we were able to catch up
I saved money on the textbook and studied from his webct. Everything you need to know is already on his web.
I worked hard and was rewarded. I went to the class everyday. Noq I am known as the inveastment-guy
corporate world I learned. And I learned stochastic processes and Ito Lemma with Brownian motion
He is a freemarket profesor. He gives us lot of freedom to choose. We enjoyed the class with the freedom to choose at our own pace.
corporate governance and agnecy cost theory interested my family. I invited my Dad, and my Dad wants to take this class
I was construction major and I had zero interest in business. This class got me interested in business. Now I have launched my own small business. Thias professor linked me to various other entrepreneurs. I am my own boss now. Thanks to the big guy or whatever. you know
Lectures are all over the place and everything is extremely unstructured. I'm the kind of student who prefers things organized, so this class was extremely hard for me to follow. I'm an A student and haven't learned anything. Easy class though; no graded assignments, all you have to do is show up. Don't take if you want to learn the material.
I am used to cramming textbooks and good at reproducing in exams. The professor showed how financial markets are unstrctured. He brought realty through his current market events lectures.
he is very current. he repeatedly stressed that events in finance are NOT predictable. Every day he will reinforce the reasons for current financial mess. very very current
To reinforce the real world situations, he took the class to Chicago on field trip. iT IS AMAZING HOW CARING THE PROFESSOR IS BY doing things for the students
highly organized and well-structured. He had already posted all his lecture notes and sample exams and final exam reviews before the semester started. It was crystal clear. He supplemented with finance we sites. I saved $180 on textbook
he takes the time to understand the problems of backward looking and forward looking of all types of people. Disarming charm that puts even the most uininterested into focus. he got my attention all the way. Finance is now my thing. I could invest day and night. and make lots of money. that is my priority now
The class requires no textbook. You have only his material to follow which doesn't make any sense. There's no papers, exams, or quizzes. Only a final that is difficult cause there's 60 questions to answer in two hours. He only speaks of his views which are out there. I would not recommend this teacher!!!
Kashi....he's really nice but he honestly might be a waste of time. You won't learn anything in his class.I'm gonna take his final in 20 minutes and i seriously had no idea how to study for it, he's hilarious and funny to talk to and what not,but as a teacher,he's ridiculous. that class was a complete joke. If you really want to learn dont take him
Kashi is too too kind and forgiving even towards towards noisy and talking ones. He should immediately drop the students with the noisy talkative attitude. He says that every student has faced lots of personal problem and so he takes the responsibility to help them adjust to the college life. We cares about the emotionally undadjustable ones too
He is my Hero. I had to work 50 hours and during the same times sometimes. He scheduled 12 remidial sessions for me and others. He saved me on the book too. I studies through his online lecture notes
When I look back at Chico, Kashi stands tallest. He was a parental figure for me. He took care of everything. Besidews finance, I discussed almost every subject computer language, accounting, management. He even helped me in those subjects too. I salute him as THEE
So GOOOD. I would not have succeeded. I was about to become a number in the college dropout list. But he introduced me to the idea of competition. It was a reinforcement that I needed . He mentored me. He even helped me gegt introduced to other professors. I will be graduating in the Spring. I owe my success to this remarkable man. glory to him
That is what a learning and teaching is all about. After the class he would teach me for hours. I learn more whe the same thing has been analyzed in my different ways. He alone does that. He is one of the noblest man and superb challenging teacher. I could not go to Chicago, but he supplied me with all the materil.
Kashi is a great teacher and a very intelligent man to talk to. It is an honer to get to learn from him.
Caring teacher by heart and soul
Saintly
learn learn and learn. the best man
In Chicago, he taught a lot while on study-tour
amazingly great
lecture notes are very good
Holy father and holy teacher
Apllied corporate finance with so many cases. good analysis
anti-trust cases were analyzed very well. you will learn
Even when the class was full, he gave me a seat and education
polite and courteous
Both CRR and Scholes pricing processes were complex. He explained in an understandable fashion.
Once again I only have one option for a class. FINA 351 Investment available professors: THIS GUY who obviously rated himself 5x on the same day on several different occasions....WOW
OK. Class was based on participation. No quizes, no turned in tests, no h.w. assigned. Nothing until the final. THE FINAL WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT FINAL EVER ASSEMBLED. Not sure what my grade will be but 60% was just showing up so yor guarenteed to pass. However if you want to learn something and or get an A. This is not the class.
Easy Class but can't understand what he is saying, plus all he teaches is stuff he has made up with his free market views, only teaches one side of the economy and says liberals, democrats and obama are horrible dumb people.Easy class but can't stand it
This class was absolutely ridiculous. You will not understand one word that comes from his mouth, hes definitely very odd. But if you go to the pointless lectures everyday, and sit in front and pretend to listen to him you will get a good grade. No homework and only one test...the final. Which was very hard.
Easy, funny, and educational if you put the effort in. All you have to do is focus a little bit during class and you'll definitely learn some stuff. Take notes, you can use them on the final.
Great Professor! Good thing to know is that he doesn't require you to purchase books, all material is online for you to print. No hw, all weight in grade comes from attendance and final exam. He's funny, unique and unafraid to speak his mind. Defintley reccomend if you really want to learn. Just show up and you'll do well.
No book. All you need to do is show up and you will receive an A. I did not learn a thing but it was an easy A.
ibecame finance major due to this class
i did all the problems in the class, and was fine
Easy. Take this class if you want to pass but learn nothing about Finance. Impossible not to pass. Impossible to learn anything.
He helped me
do the hw you will be ok
calculus is needed
embedded strategic projects are required.
I did homework
textbook is ok
it was a good survey study
after the class i did stock trading. gained
daily homework helped a lot
marvelous course
lot of work. worth it
continuous and discrete pricing was a refreshing contrast
