Carrasquilla has a wonderful approach to teaching. It was a great course! He was very good at applying concepts to everyday life. I would highly recommend him.

Very well designed course that covers a lot for only 5 classes. Really should be mandatory of all college grads for their successful life planning. Everyone will get something different out of this course and if you want more depth than one particular topic covers, Kurt seems to be quite generous with his time to spend with you after class.

Prof. Carrasquilla was very approachable and would stay after class until all questions were answered. I would highly recommend taking his course to anyone looking to understand personal finance/investments.

Very good lecturer. Good material, good presentation. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to understand better their financial questions.

Though only 5 sessions long, this course provided a thorough overview the various aspects of managing wealth, from increasing it through various investments, to protecting it from high fees and unnecessary taxes, to dispensing it to family and charity. PowerPoints were also received well before class and lectures followed them scrupulously.

To tell the truth, I enjoyed Kurt's lectures very much. He is an experienced professional as well as an excellent teacher who is patient and practice-oriented. He definitely knows how to clearly interpret complicated financial things to our ordinary people in a plain and interesting way. This course is very useful, helpful, and rewarding:D~

Super proficient in his knowledge of subject. Open to QnA, just jump right in. Would take again.

Great class! Professor Carrasquilla was very knowledgeable and clearly communicated the subject matter. I highly recommend this class.

I took Essentials in Wealth Management at Stanford with Professor Carrasquilla. The class was a great overview of all things we should be doing for our financial house. Professor Carrasquilla presents the material in a straightforward manner, and is extremely knowledgeable. He has a perfect background for the valley finance, and is a great guy!

Prof Carrasquilla is an extremely competent and professional instructor and wealth manager. He explains concepts clearly and concisely and always more than willing to help. I really enjoyed his objective and ethical methods to the many subjects in this course. Certainly hope he is available for more classes at Stanford. Thanks for a terrific course

Well organized materials. No textbooks, just powerpoint presentations that he sends out a week early. It really helps to read the powerpoint before class and look up any definitions you don't know. Excellent overview of wealth management. The final (and only project) is essential for someone just getting started and needs that extra incentive.

Great overview class for wealth management. Creating an investment policy statement was great: it got me to think about an overall plan to use as a guide moving forward. Planning based on Values and goals is a good approach. Getting questions answered immediately was very helpful

Kurt has so much to offer. He is a very dedicated teacher with a deep knowledge of the subject and real-life experiences. I really enjoyed every and each lesson he taught.

The course is really interesting. I was motivated to learn a lot about wealth management after attending this course. Thanks a lot Kurt!

As a financial master back to my home country, tough I know all the concepts in the lecture, I really learnt a lot about the wealth management in the real US, like how important it is for each individuals.

Professor Carrasquilla has a wealth of knowledge that he can pass on to you. Wish I would have taken this course about 20 years ago, I believe it would have made a difference in what or how I invested.

I enjoyed classes of Kurt Carrasquilla. The approach to family and individual wealth management was rational and properly structured. The way of teaching was not only academical but practical.

Professor Carrasquilla is an outstanding lecturer who has the ability to teach a complex subject matter with clarity. His depth and breadth of knowledge was incredible and when challenged on specifics of data was professional, precise and accurate. He was always highly prepared & punctual. He is a role model for Stanford & the Banking industry.

The professor was very honest, direct, well-spoken and informative. He always made sure everyone question was answered. If a student had a question the professor would repeat the question prior to answering the question. This process brought the class together. Everyone felt part of the process. I think the professor is an asset to Stanford.

I found Kurt's class to be very valuable in my own financial planning. He is an excellent instructor. His lectures were very clear and well-organized, and he gave many real world examples. He would always answer and address questions from the class, and he made everyone feel involved.

Brilliant professor. I thoroughly enjoyed his course Essentials of Wealth Management at Stanford. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn from an expert in that particular area of Finance!

I took his class to stop paying a fee to the investment firm I'm relying on and go DIY. Funny enough though, the course was so complete and crystal clear, I realized how overwhelming investing right can be, with all these options, tradeoffs, seasonalities, tax implications, etc etc. Therefore my takeaway was that the fees I'm paying are worth!

I took "Essentials of Wealth Management" at Stanford Continuing Studies this Summer. Kurt is an excellent instructor, a wonderful person and above all, a gem of a man. I was very sad when the course ended because it was such a wonderful learning experience. I will definitely sign up for any class that Kurt teaches. He is absolutely one of the best!

Mr Carrasquilla is a patient instructor that cares about his students. BUS 195 content will be greatly helpful to most families and individuals as well so highly recommend everyone to take this course.

Taking it because i aspire to a career in wealth management. Kurt provided timely feedback on everything career related. The content itself could be a bit dry, but if you are invested in the topic you will pull through.

I took 'Essentials of Wealth Management' over the summer, which is a short five week class. Kurt covered a lot of content in that time. The course was well organized and Kurt was great at taking questions and stayed at the end of class for people to follow up if they wanted. If he taught a follow-up class at some point I would take it.

Great course taught by a professional with loads of experience. Found a lot of overlap between this course and Bus 64 (taxes), and would choose Bus 195 with Kurt if you're on the fence between the two.

By difficult, I do not mean hard to understand or similar. It is the information presented and the challenge given for a grade that motivates me. The more difficult it is, the more challenging and motivational it is

I highly recommend Professor Carrasquilla. Not only does he have a wealth of industry knowledge, but he communicates the material clearly and with enthusiasm. In addition, he makes himself as available as possible for students with questions, and is patient and intentional to any student that struggles with concepts. He's a top professor.

I've had the opportunity to learn a lot from him about both basic and more advanced personal finance, and Kurt has also supported me with my personal projects to create an investment fund. Highly recommended.
