Professor Corzo is very helpful, and has a great amount of knowledge on the subject matter. Although his exams are hard, they are well structured, and designed.
He makes it easier to understand and able to give us clear notes to study with
i have very much enjoyed his class. He is very passionate about teaching and it shows. I would not even hestiate
Prof Gonzales is very clear and makes the class interesting but sometimes he uses a vocabulary in his discussions that is very har to understand.

really knows his subject and stresses the importance
Exellent professor, very clear, professional, KNOWS HIS STUFF and helps everyone understand the topic as much as he can.
He breaks down difficult ideas and make them very clear and simple to understand.
Professor Corzo is an excellent instructor. He is very dedicated and extremely patient. He has gone above and beyond many times and his commitment is truly appreciated. THANKS!
Professor knows his stuff. Gives no Homework!
350characters isnt enough,anyway, I think he's a great Prof, just consider his age, doesn't look a day over 35, and yet has all this knowledge in the subject related to share.i feel that he has accomplished a lot in his time. Definately worth taking his class, he's easy to approach, has his handouts neatly presented. makes effort to give 2nd chance
He's a goof prof. Just be prepared to work because he grades you strictly by test scores and he accomplishes a lot during the semester. Another thing, go by his class notes when studying, that's all you really need.
ok prof, demands alot of the students in a semester
He is a Professor that is ideal for getting you prepare for the real world. Just took his final this week and what a workout it was as it was time consuming but I must say there was nothing on the exam in which he did not prepare his students for. Just do your part and you shall be find!!!!
Dr.Corzo is very helpful and patient with his students.He is neat in his class notes and fair in his grading system .As a proffesional he is very knowledgeable in spite of his young age.
Very good teacher but be prepared to work he is no joke. He goes over information and explains very clearly. If you pay attention and read you might be OK.
He served me as an inspiration, an example of what one is capable of accomplishing if we dedicate time to study.He is an excelent instructor.
Very good professor!!!
good guy, just gives lots of work, does to much for 1 semster
If you attend his class, you will feel you learned knowledge. His engertic way of teaching stimulates students' willness to learn.
Extremely knowledgable professor. If you want to learn about the outside business environment then take him. I attend another college and took his course with a permit. I WISH we have business professors like him in my school. Lehman students take advantage of it. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!! YOU WILL DEFINATELY LEARN.
He is best of the best professor in Economics department. If you see his name on the list, take classes with him. You won't regret it.
His teaching method is very thorough and understandable.
DO NOT TAKE PROFESSOR... Cares only for himself and Cuba. My Gpa dropped because he is a nightmare. He is not what the other people deicribed vice versa. if you want to fail takw his classes.. Professor with no heart..only like to hear himslef talk
This is perhaps the BEST professor that the Lehman Economics department has. He surveys the topic thoroughly, and repeats concepts readily. His tests can be tricky, but you learn from them after the first. Cuba is a fascinating subject, and he only used the example to illustrate key concepts. An amazing class. It was a priviledge taking him.
I think he makes it interesting and at the same time informational...
He is a great professor! If you can take him, he loves what he is doing and make you like it too. He makes things complicated really easy. His exams are really ok since he does Reviews. If you read the review, you know exactly how the exam will be. It helps a lot. He is always available for students, he is great!!!
Great professor! He really loves economics and it shows. His enthusiasm for the class makes it more fun. His tests aren't that difficult if you attend the review session and really understand it.
great prof
I dont know what that outcast was talking about when he said not to take this professor. I am so glad I withdrew last semester from Chasta to take Prof. Corzo!! BEST THING I EVER DID! Who ever said that its not what you know but how you teach is so right cause compare 1st Mid term with Chasta FAILED with this prof. I got a 99. Study u will be GOOD!
This professor is very passionate about the subject but he needs to slow down. THis prof. talks non-stop and writes every single word he speaks on the board. U will start to yawn in class. But his tests if u study are ok.
a real research
Prof. Gonzales Corzo display the perfect actitud, professionalism, respect and courtesy expected from a professor. Shows vast knowledge on the class.
Its an intensive class a lot to cover. The professor covers the majority of work if not all. He gives great notes and also lectures at the same time. It might be overwhelming at first however he reviews and his exams are fair and not tricky. I enjoyed his enthusiasm for what he teaches. You get more than you bargain for!
Professor Gonzalez-Corzo is very knowledgeable, explains every idea very clear and seems to enjoy teaching. I highly recommend this professor for any of the economics classes.
prof. corzo makes learning an easy process. i took a class with him last semester and i can say he is one of my best professors
The text and the lectures are commensurate to a graduate program...Principles of Finance should remain principles of finance...
Professor Gonzalez-Corzo is an excellent teacher. He gives very good notes and explains them all. He is an expert in the area of finance and economics.
Sharp, witty and fun! Takes a fairly complex subject and makes it digestible. Grateful he does not "dumb-things-down". Instead he explains the way markets and their mechanisims work with clarity. Through anectdotal and quantitative descriptions -- plus lots of notes on the board --he teaches the principles of finance. Take his course NOW!
VERY KNOWLEDGABLE- LOVE OF FINANCE IS EVIDENT INFORMATIVE LECTURES - HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR
amazing teacher. he's so enthusiastic about int'l eco that it really kept me awake, especially for a 930am class. if you study, the tests are no problem, and he gives extra credit questions. i got a 108 on the midterm. he keeps you up to date with econ issues in the news too.
All around He was a cool professor.
He really know his stuff but he is very hard. his test are like outside this planet, he wants you to write a lot when there is only 1hour to take it. i do not recomend this professor. but then again a lot of people like him

Pros: Clearly reviews and prepares before attempting to do a lecture (knowledgebl). His test are hard, but If you study and practice you get at least a 90. Cons: He will talk forever during class without any pause and will not let you even crack a joke. Dont talk to your partner cuz he'll ask in front of the class if you "If you had any question".
No Comments
practice the review questions in class, then read your books and you should be fine. A very nice prof. will recommend to everyone.
It is a very hard class, but he make the class much eiser. IF u study u can get an A in the class. the class is about knowing the subject. review the material and u will pass the class
Extremely REspectable and VERY knowledgeable. VERY VERY quick so listen and write. Tests are fair. I recommend him (if you are a hard working student)
WHAT CAN I SAY , HE KNOWS THE MATERIAL BUT I FEEL HE GOES TOO FAST. pROF U SHOULD SLOW DOWN! IM WRITTING THIS CAUSE YOU READ ALL THESE MESSAGES. GET A LIFE!!
Took him last semester. Tests are a little rough but he teaches well and prepares you for them. One of the most if not the most knowledgeable prof. in the department. I highly recommend him. If you want easy, then keep it moving.
He knows his stuff.
No Comments
Very knowledagable, and helpful. Tests are hard, but you learn.
This is not a easy class. Prof. knows his material and is very enthusiastic about international economics. Attend all classes and take notes.
bad very bad
I don't know where to start with this professor. All I have to say is that he runs through his lectures and he sounds like he is speaking another language. If you don't get help in this course you will fail. He teaches as if everyone understands what he is saying. I agree with the comment below...bad very bad..lol
This professor knows his stuff, and is very enthusiastic about International Economics. Take good notes, come to class, and you should do fine.
He is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject, he makes things very comprehensible, interesting, and challenging. Lehman students need more challenges anyway. He is also very helpful also if you look for him outside of classroom. It is an easy A class but you will also learn a lot from him, Exams are pretty straightforward.
One thing I have to give him is he is very intelligent & enthusiast, however he believes he is lecturing a group of collegueages not a group of students whom might or might not be too inform about the subject. He flights throughout the lecture, and eve if you take notes you will be lost & cant compare w the book since the formulas are different.
I took him for BBA207 and I liked the way he teaches.Read chapter before coming to class. Take notes during lecture. Go home and review your notes. Before exam study the review guide he gives. That's all you have to do and you will get an A.There was not a single thing that i didn't understand.If you do what you are suppose to do easy A for you.
does not connect with students. teaching style unrealistic
no one can understand what he speaks. I took this course but on the very first day i dropped the class. he gave me headache in 30 mins. How could i tolerate him for whole semester. He is intelligent but he should understand students are not on his level. he should also make sure that students are getting him...Dont take his class
Not the best professor for this class.
Dr. Corzo is an excellent professor. You have to work hard, but college is all about hard work.I strongly reccomend him.
Prof. Gonzalez- Corzo is an excellent professor and I have a great admiration for him. I am a graduate student and I have had the honor and pleasure to be one of his students in the Investment Analysis class and I can happily say, I wish he was my professor in all of my graduate classes. I highly recommend him for both undergraduate and graduate co
I couldn't agree more with the comment below. Mr. Corzo is an extremely wonderful professor. His class is, by far, the best class I have taken at Lehman College. It was one of my electives, and after sitting there for the semester, this gentleman's lectures have sparked a new interest that I am now drawn to Finance.He delivers exceptionally..:)
He's a good professor and he knows his stuff. My problems with him were that he would go of topic a lot, he seems like an organized person at first, but I think most lessons are off the top of his head, didn't really have structure. Also makes you buy a book that is helpful but he really doesn't follow it. My comments are unbiased, I got an A.
He's a very knowledgeable professor and he knows his stuff but I didn't like the way he taught. Most of his lessons consist of graphs and formulas but he doesn't really explain the underlying topics behind the graphs and formulas with clarity, so unless you're familiar with economic they are hard to understand.I wouldn't take another class with him
VERY BAD!!!!!!
STAY AWAY. unless you have prior knowledge in business and accounting stay away. 3 tests. first was 5 questions and merely impossible. i suggest before entering this class you should know about portfolio theory and financial ratios and there are alot.its hard to follow what he writes on the board, very messy. does not make hard subjects any easier
This is a difficult course, but Prof. gives reviews, shows examples, and explains topics.
AMAZING professor-He teaches very fast paced but it available to help by appointment. Very knowledgable, has a corky sense of humor & is FAIR. If you do the work, you'll get the grade. Make sure you pay attn to the test reviews because they are EXACTLY the same as the test. If you study that you should have no problem passing the course.
Its a hard class. At the beginning, he might be intimidating, and is really fast paced, but he's actually really helpful and nice. FAIR grader. His reviews are exactly what he puts on the test.
He moves fast , and at first he might seem intimidating. Go to class, take time to do the problems he assigns and you will do fine.
I went by the rating below me but i disagree. This professor teaches really fast. I know that the subject is very hard but he doesn't take his time to explain things. This class makes me feel slow :/
A good professor to take. The best time to take him is monday and wednesday at 615pm-730pm.. easy class.. regiter while you still can
One of the best classes i ever took in Lehman college.Take class Mondays and Wednesday at 615-730pm.. He is more lenient with grading at those times.. easy class to past..
He teaches VERY fast, its hard to understand what he's teaching if you have little finance background. This class was my 1st finance class and even though i passed with an A, it took A LOT of studying on my own and reading the book because i couldnt understand him. DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR YOUR FIRST FINANCE CLASS. He's too smart to teach a intro class.
This professor knows his stuff, but unfortunately the student's don't. He is difficult to follow at times. He shows the student several ways to do the work with only on way is needed. It confuses the students and what you come away with is a jumble set of rules and concepts that are next to impossible to decipher. I give him a D-.
This professor is in person not intimidating but when he speaks he is! The man is a walking textbook so non needed here! This can be good and bad, good bc you save $ bad bc you need to cling to his EVERY WORD (which is hard). He talks fast, writes a lot and sometimes gets jumbled. He is a nice person, loves his job but hard!
Great professor absolutely!!!He never gives any homework.But three or more tests in total. Be sure to listen carefully in every class, take notes, do the review problems,and you will get an A!Review Problems and Tests are exactly the same, only change numbers.
He explains everything in class. He give lecture, write on board. All that he explains goes to the exams. He also give you an idea of what study for the test. He wants you to understand the concepts and relate them with the day to day. Excellent professor.
Professor allows 2 pages front and back of cheat sheets on the test. If you understand 80% of the work you will receive an A. Class is kind of difficult but just follow the review sheet he gives out before the test. I got 75s on the test and still received a B in the class.
At first this professor was intimidating, but after the first exam I learned exactly what he expected from us. If you understand and can do the practice exams on BB you will ace this class. Overall I would recommend this professor. He knows his stuff!
He is a great professor. Very understanding to his class needs. If you have any questions or need additional help he is always willing to assist you.
He is very helpful if you are having difficulties with the class. He allows a formula sheet front to back for his exams. He gives extra credit questions on his exams. It was hard to follow his lecture during the class but that's because he really enjoys teaching this subject and goes on and on and on. Overall is his a great professor.
I took Dr. Corzo for Micro. Really cares about his students. He wants you to do well & he'll give you all the necessary material for the exams. He gives you a study guide w/ problems similar to those on the exam. If you have any question he'll stay after class to go over them w/ you. Take notes, pay attention to his lecture & you'll do really well.
I have Dr. Corzo and he is like legit the best 3 hour class i would ever want to have, he literally gives you everything youneed to pass, and even does powerpoints, if you dont have the book. this guy helps you learn and i would encourage people to have him, because i sit in the back, and i still learn. hes funny and energetic
If you want an easy A then this class is not for you. The class is very confusing. The tests are all based on graphs you need to do which are not easy. Prof teaches at a phd level and makes everything very dense. I would not take a class with him again.
This professor has an amazing personality. However, he teaches a class full of undergrads like we are grad students. It was almost like we were supposed to already know the material before we began the class, which is ridiculous since this was an introductory course. Do not take this class. GPA Killer.
This professor loves Finance. Hes lectures are not easy to follow, however, his test are not difficult. If you read the book and practice the problems in the book about the weighted average cost of capital you should be ok. YOU MUST PRACTICE!!!!
Absolutely fantastic professor , he is so passionate about teaching the economic way of thinking, he would correlate a wsj article every morning to the current lecture... He inspired me to really enjoy economics
GPA KILLER! Professor Corzo is extremely passionate about Finance&Economics but he should not be teaching an intro class. His lectures are extremely long & confusing. Your grade is solely based on tests so if you don't pass the test, chances are you probably won't pass the class. If you're an expert on those topics then by all means take the class.
Prof. Corzo speaks very fast so make sure you are a fast note taker. Also, I would strongly recommend for you to read the chapters before class in order to understand what he is saying. He bases grades only on test. No homework,no participation. Not very good if you are not a good multiple choice test taker. Be ready to really work for your grade!
Great professor. I took her online class and learn a lot. she is very helpful. Take her if you can. Follow her lecture slides and videos. You will be fine. would love to take her again.
Terrible Professor. I took his online class and didn't understand any of it. I reached out to him for help and he sent me a generic outdated outline on how to study. He also does not respond right away. I do not recommend this class unless you already have some knowledge on the subject. Your textbook is your teacher.
Mario is an OK person, but as an educator he lacks the desire to make you understand his Columbia-grade material. 5 exams and no extra credit seems like a decent deal, but when you take in consideration the amount of calculations he gives, no wonder a lot of students seem overwhelmed with the 90 minutes he sets for 25 problems (and some MC q's).
Disconnected lecture content; terribly presented. No HW at all. Online tests that can be taken two times within a time frame: this is KEY to passing this class. Take the test 2 times and the best score is what counts. Avoid this professor if you can. If you can't: no hw a plus, dissect all lecture notes read text book and take tests 2 times!!
He has a great background but uses all it poorly. His lectures are difficult to keep with and jump from point A to Z to G to T. It's cumbersome at best and infuriating at worst. You can take the tests twice and have the higher counted but with such poor foundation they can prove difficult. Don't bother emailing him, he never replies even for help.
Great Professor to learn from. Gives lots of material to help you learn along the way. I would definitely study, as his exams are pretty hard. Lectures are clear and he is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject matter.
Really just a lot of reading with exams here and there, pretty boring lectures ngl, just read the notes lol. I recommend taking it with eco 166 since some topics collide making some things easier to understand
Class was very easy but it's very boring. All you do is read, watch videos of the prof do some problems, and take exams. That's it! There's no assignments throughout the week. He checks if you downloaded his notes and PowerPoint to see if your "participating". But overall you are just going to be doing exams for his class throughout the semester.
