Should do the homework assigned even though it is not graded.

I though he was a good professor and willing to help students understand the subject. I will recommend him any time !!!!

Very smart guy when it comes to banking, i think if you pay attention to what he has to say you'll get a better understanding of the class. overall a very easy A just show up to class and you will pass.

Amazing professor! His class is easy and I actually enjoyed it. The final grade is only based on the midterm and final and the homework is optional but I would highly recommend you complete it. He is a very understanding professor and really tries to work with you. You have two weeks to complete H.W and I recommend watching the lectures. Take him!

Professor Del Pezzo does an excellent job bringing in his real world experience in order to help you understand topics. One of the only professors that I know that does not get mad at all the "What If" questions. Although there is only a midterm and final he makes sure that what is covered in class is what is on the exam. I would recommend him

Professor Mark Del Pezzo is one of the best professors teaching Finance at FIU. He has goo experience that he can share and that is directly related to the subject. The material itself may be a little challenging, but he will make sure you understand it. Even though class is just a midterm and a final, the class is passable. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!!

Professor Del Pezzo is one of the best professors you will find at FIU, he has a lot of experience in the financial world and knows what he is talking about. He is always looking to improve his class to better help his students. Watch his lectures, read the textbook and you will pass this class. If you do your part you should get an A.

Professor Del Pezzo is one of the best Finance professors at FIU. Hes teaching approach is very dynamic, does not bore you to death with power point, and relates the material to real life finance as he has several years of experience in the industry. Goes out of his way to help you in your academic and professional career. Fair grader, A.

Take him. He knows what he is doing because of how much experience he have in the banking industry, and the amount of people he advice besides teaching at school. He is a very straightforward prof. when it comes to teaching. You will teach your self like almost every professor at university level. Just read the chapter before class and youll be fi

Professor Del Pezzo focuses on applying financial theory to real world, practical problems. Even if you are not a finance major, he breaks down the concepts so that you can easily understand it, and he also stimulates interest into the subject. If you read the textbook, you can get an A.

Professor Del Pezzo is a really great instructor. He knows what he is talking about and has a lot of experience in finance. The class is composed of 2 grades: a midterm and a final. They are not difficult if you take the time to read the book and study, just like for any other class. I really enjoyed this class :)

This is one professor that is passionate about what he teaches. The material may seem a little boring at first, but once that math comes in, it's fun. One midterm, one final that's it. Consisting of book vocab and only math problems that he does in class. Read your materials and practice the math and you should pass the class, easily.

He is a great professor and knows a lot about the topics. You can tell he's passionate about it.

Great professor, knows and is passionate about the material. He begins class by going over the market and then incorporates that in the lecture which helped me understand the concept better. Yes the class is 50% midterm and 50% final, but the math probs are like those in class. So if you practice the probs and study the terms you'll get the A.

Gave two tests and entire grade was based on those two tests. Tests are relatively easy if attend and listen. He gives synopsis of what to focus test studying on. Book is used lightly during class (for example problems etc.). Old edition is acceptable. Says that test can include data from book not discussed in class, but never actually did.

FIN4324 Commercial Bank Management with Professor Del Pezzo is my all-time favorite course in my college career. Prof. Del Pezzo makes class lectures entertaining and engaging, mixes in current events and let the class discuss topics and then bringing in his expertise to the debate. Theres a midterm and final with a research paper in between.

I took FIN 3403 and FIN 4324 online with Mr. Del Pezzo. There are two exams you should prepare well to take. Nevertheless, he gives lots of tools fore you to prepare to take the exams. In his classes, you feel really prepared to face the professional world. I would recommend him if your real intention is to learn and be inspired.

Explains all concepts very well and thoroughly. If you attend the lectures and take notes, you will be well prepared for the exams. You can tell he cares about his students and is always willing to stay after class to answer any questions and help you during his office hours. Very approachable and responds quickly to messages. Highly recommended!

Take the class online instead of in person.

Del Pezzo is an amazing professor, if you take him in class and are interested in money his lectures will motivate you to start investing. His knowledge and experience of the subject lets you view finance in the eyes of an experienced money manager. The usual midterm and final, he reviews what will be both tests, definitely recommended.

Took this class on campus. Great professor, very knowledgeable. He will show you some videos and sources in class, I suggest you take note of the names and use them at home, will make the class so much easier. Two exams 50% each.

No finance class is easy. 50% midterm, 50% final. The theory for his exams are tricky but the math questions are identical to the problems he assigns. His midterm is easy but the final is very hard. He is always available to meet outside of class and is one of the nicest professors i've ever had. Put in the work and you will pass.

Professor Del Pezzo is an amazing and caring professor. His value goes beyond the scope of the material in class because he was a huge resource in helping me figure out how to approach internships. The class itself is not difficult if you do the practice problems until you memorize them and be alert when he emphasizes what concepts are important.

Only 2 grades Midterm and Final each worth 50%. Very helpful professor, even though attendance is not mandatory both test are highly based on the lectures and the problems gone over in class. Lots of concepts to be learned for the tests. Gives different opportunities for extra credit. Have in mind you have to pay attention in class.

This professor was very nice overall. He did his best in trying to make his lectures more exciting. However, his class was only consisted of two exams: a midterm and a final. He does work out the mathematical problems that may be on the exam. For the conceptual part, you may have to read on your own. But, he is a great professor.

He makes you work for your grade. The class consist of 50/50 Midterm/Final, and the doesn't give you a study guide, nor a review the class before. You're on your own. He doesn't teach at all. He will tell you which exercises to complete during class, you have to read the book and teach yourself. He will explain only if you ask.

Class is challenging but worth it. You have to put in the work but the professor is always available and more than happy to help you out with any questions you may have. He is extremely knowledgable and possesses the qualities of an amazing educator. Study hard and pay attention to the problems in class and you'll do fine. I would take him again!

While his class is test heavy- he is always available for his students. Not only does he cares about us ( students) he actually puts in the time to ensure we are all learning the material and will go the extra miles and check on you to make sure you are following accordingly and understanding the problems. Unlike many other professors at FIU.

I have known Mark del PEzzo for many years. HE is an amazing professor and is always willing to help me inside and outside of the classroom on any questions that I have in regards to his class and projects. His classes are not hard and he tells you exactly what to study for the tests. Will definitely take him again.

Prof Mark is very knowledgeable and willing to pass along that knowledge. Finance, in general, is challenging and confusing, it is good to have professors like Mark who will explain the material. Put in the work and you will do well not only in his class but will help you throughout the entire major. He taught material I used in real life after.

Amazing professor!!! I would take him 100 times

Professor Del Pezzo is very knowledgeable in the field of Finance. I prefer professors with experience in their fields and he has that (is a CFA + portfolio mgmt experience). We do lots of problems in class to make sure we are applying what we've read. Tests are mainly based on the lectures. He knows his stuff and can introduce you to many people.

Professor Del Pezzo is a great professor. The class is easy and there are only 2 honorlock tests and a final project. This is good because you do not have to expect so much time working on this class, but when the test comes, you need to study hard and constantly if you want a good grade. He gives you tips for the test and help you with the project

Great professor, easy to talk to. I took his SMIF class and learned a lot. He has a lot of experience as a portfolio manager so if you're interested in that area, he's interesting to listen to. His exams are cake I got a 100 without much study so its an easy A deal.

The sweetest, most straightforward professor. 2 exams, very common sense and enough time to study the powerpoints, 1 group project which was great and actually helps you in your personal life. Loved the simplicity of this class. Plus the concept is great, prof replies extremely quick to emails. Take him.

Professor Del Pezzo is exceptional and this class along with the stock market one are a must! You will gain a lot of knowledge that you would not otherwise gain during your Bachelor's degree. In case that was not enough, Mark is very experienced in this field and can guide you through your path in order to become successful.

Make sure to read the chapters before class or wont understand what hes talking about. Hes teaches assuming that youve already read the chapters coming into class. You are graded by midterm and final. Just read the chapters and do the practice problems that he gives as homework. His test are very easy. He is very nice and answers all questions!

MDPezz is underrated. I really enjoyed his class. His class isn't an easy A, but it's definitely passable (it's finance, it's not meant to be easy). 2 exams 1 paper, and his exams are fair game. Definitely have to read the chapters to get a good understanding of the concepts. I learned so much with this Prof. glad I took his class.

I really enjoyed his lectures. He always discussed real world applications of what we were discussing to make the class interesting instead of just reading off of the power point. Very nice professor. His exams are not easy. They cover a lot of material and you're forced to really become comfortable with a wide range of concepts.

FALL 2021. You are graded on 3 things the whole semester so you need to grind From the start. 2 tests (40% each) And one paper (20%). On the tests the problems come straight from the lectures just with different numbers so take pictures of them or write them down. you ARE allowed to have a cheat sheet (front & back / written or typed). NO HW

Professor Del Pezzo is the best professor I have had in my University career. He has real experience in the finance industry, and as student, you will get not only textbook-theory knowledge but authentic actual Life knowledge from a person who has been involved in the industry for so long. It was a privilege to have him as a professor.

Honestly, one of my favorite professors at FIU especially if you're on the finance track. He can be lecture but he summarizes concepts in a digestible manner, and goes over problems in class which are similar to those on the midterm and final.

Great professor, one of the goats of FIU. Loves to teach about credit and recommended people I should talk to in credit.

No HW, projects, quizzes, assignments, extra credit, discussions. You're grade is ONLY based on a midterm and a final, no joke. 100% based off of 2 exams. 50% on the midterm and 50% final term no other assignments. The exams are easy, but not no studying type of easy, all it takes is common sense and going over the powerpoints and you'll be fine

There are only 2 Exams (50 % Midterm and 50 %Final). His lectures are very helpful though. He explains how to do problems that would be on tests. I would say watch the lectures x2 and read the chapters x2. The chapters are long so don't wait till last minute. The class requires discipline. There is no study guide. Practice the problems and read

Tough but fair class - just stay on top of the lectures and textbook. The exams are the only grades, so practice the problems and use Unstuck AI to prepare. Professor is helpful when you engage.
