Dr. Poon is extremely fair. No favorites. He is a good teacher. You can do well as he affords you every opportunity to do well. You must study to do well.

Dr. Poon is a good professor. Do the homework and the practice tests and you will do fine in his class. Just don't ask stupid questions in class, he doesn't have much patience for stupidy/ignorance when you should know the answer.

People who do bad in this class are just retards. Maybe they wouldn't be able to cut it in the business world, so they should change their major.

HE'S NOT HARD. I THINK THOSE WHO DO BAD IN THIS CLASS SHOULD THINK OF TKNG ANOTHER COURSE. HIS TESTS IS BASED ON THE PRACTICE EXAMS AND ARE VERY FAIR. HE DOESNT CURVE, YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN...

Accent is no problem- over half the prof in the school have difficult-to-understand accents!! Deal with it. Good prof, went over everything on the tests in class. Not a flyby class but no class in Finance is! Of course you have to study. Sometimes allows "cheat sheets" for tests.

He's not hard, very very nice person.

I love this professor, he is very nice, and smiles all the time. The class is not easy, however if you printed out the notes from the WebCT, and do the practice exam. You should be fine!

I love this guy!

Great professor, if you study for his material, you will be ok on the exams.

great professor! easy grader, gives hardly any homework, and always lets out early!

His English wasn't bad. I doubt you'll find a single typo in his handouts, practice tests, or exams. People that don't do well in this class are just lazy and expect him to spoon feed answers, and should reconsider their major. Finance isn't supposed to be that easy!

This teacher is not for everyone, but he's one of my favorites. I'd definitely take his class again. He does not like to repeat himself, and he hates stupid questions- he will make fun of you and not give you an answer. But if you do the work and pay attention, this is a pretty easy class. I really like his method for presenting the material.

Best quote ever: "I'm not Korean, I'm CHINESE!"

Not as hard to understand as everyone thinks. Willing to give extra help and is on top of his game. Made finance bearable. He loves world cup soccer

Take this guy. I have been failing FIN 301. He is by far the easiest teacher I have ever had. Ya he's Chinese but he does not have a strong accent. Just come into class and always pay attention

Good teacher. He was very clear and helpful. Test questions are very similar to homework questions. Show up to class and study!

No need to buy textbook for his class. He does post all the notes on Web campus, and the tests come from the material covered in notes. He's funny when he kept saying "Am I talking in Chinese to you all" to wake up the class.

Hes a champion. he gives you pre prepared lecture notes, lets you bring a piece of paper with notes to the tests, and hes an incredible teacher. He does expect you to show up and make an effort. this isnt a class you can skip regularly. show up, pay attention, do the homework, and youll get an A. would recommend to anyone

HE IS A GOOD PROFESSOR, YOU WILL GET AN A IF U GO TO CLASS AND DO THE HOMEWORKS AND PRACTICE EXAM. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO TAKE THIS CLASS

Professor Poon is professional and extremely sharp. Go to class everyday, take good notes, do every homework problem, and do the practice exams and will do well. Dr. Poon doesn't want to see anyone do poorly, so give it your best and it will pay off.

Must attend class. He expects you to do your homework and try to do it before you ask questions.

Poon is a great teacher. He gives real life examples of finance. he tests right off his notes and he covers everything in his notes. MUST go to class and do all outside work. not available for help outside of class.

Professor Poon is a very nice guy. The class is somewhat difficult because of the subject. Go to class, do the homework and actually make the attempt to understand what each homework problem situation, ie what you have to do when a company is long, how to hedge agaisnt that. If you do that youll be fine. Professor was excellent.

Took his summer FIN 312 class. He jumps around during lecture, writes numbers on the board expecting you to know how he got it. He'll explain if you ask. There were three exams: first one was easy, second one was hard, and third even harder. Read. Go to class. Ask questions.

Professor Poon's willing to review concepts multiple times. His notes are SO GOOD. They come from the textbook, which is easy 2 follow. 3 assignments, 2 tests+Final. Allows 8.5 X 11 notecard for exams. Attendance not mandatory but not recommended you skip. Certainly approachable. If u read the book & go to class, u can get a good grade. TAKE HIM!

Mr. Poon made his lectures interesting by giving real life examples. He grades you on things that are covered in homework problems, and on his lectures. He gives partial credit for missed answers on exams as long as you show your work. I definitely recommend him for Fin 301.

I thought he was a solid professor. His accent was a little difficult to understand at times, but it wasn't a big issue. Lectures were interesting and all the exam material was covered in the lectures and practice problems done in class so there were no surprises. Class material was hard but I thought he explained everything well.

I had taken this class before with another professor, but Professor Poon was the one who helped me understand the subject! Amazing professor, I wish I had taken him first.

I am not an English speaker, so I have to prepare well and read all the books before all my classes. However, I did not read the book and I could totally understand the materials in this class. Prof. Poon was great. He made every clearly in the class. The book was useless, except for homework. I easily got an A for this class without much effort

I took this class over the summer along with other classes so in the beginning I struggled, and failed the first exam. Only graded by the three exams, I managed to pass the class with a B in the end. My advice: make sure you do the homework before he goes over it, and study the notes and the quizzes he gives. He truly doesn't want anyone to fail.

Amazing professor. Took this class in summer session 2 and passed it with a B. Pay attention in class, read the chapters assigned and chapter overview before class, study your notes and quiz's and you should pass the class. Again, make sure you pay attention to everything he says. Fin301 is formula and concept heavy. Once you know it, you know it.

Professor Poon is excellent, one of the best professors on campus. He doesn't read off a powerpoint, he actually teaches. The material is tough and confusing at times, but Poon is able to dumb it down for those who don't have a PHD. You need to attend class to pass. If you ever have the opportunity to take him, do it, you won't regret it.

Poon is funny but he really knows his stuff well. Will definately take his class again.

TAKE PERCY POON! He's a great finance professor. He only teaches Summer Term session I. The grading criteria is three exams worth 100 points ea. Do the HW and take-home quizzes. It will be similar to the exams. Be sure to do well on the first two exams (which were easy) because of the final is hard!

For non-FIN or ACC majors: This class is difficult, but Dr. Poons teaching style is designed to help you out. He will simplify concepts to where you will understand them For FIN or ACC majors, Dr. Poon Is an absolute treat. Find any oppertunity to take him Watch out though, 3 tests are your only grades for the class, so practice frequently

3 exams, 3 chapters covered in each exam. It is important that you do the practice quizzes he gives you. Since youre only being graded on 3 exams your room for error is small. Print his lectures, he really makes it simple just comes down to effort.

Professor Poon is an AMAZING professor! He provides lecture notes for you which makes his lectures easy to follow. Make sure to ask questions if youre confused though and practice, practice, practice. Hes always willing to help. Would definitely take his class again if I could!

light class, book not necessary but he makes it seem like it is. better get the online version. 2 tests 100 each, plus final 100 as well. if you have basic algebra knowledge you'd get at least a B. 2 first tests are easier (2 chap each) third a bit harder (3chaps). Do and understand hmwks and you should get at least a B. Very kind and nice prof.

He is very caring and his exam is really easy probably because the entire grade is depend on three exams but also, he makes it really easy for you to understand the materials.

His exams are really easy. Not many chapters to study. Plus he cares about students a lot. I loved his lecture.

Professor Poon is amazing! He cares about his students a lot and he gives EXTENSIVELY GREAT feedback on our exams. He makes sure everyone understand the lecture and explains things really well. The textbook is mostly needed for homework problems. I highly recommend taking FIN 301 in the summer and especially with Professor Poon, then you're golden

Just listen to what he says to the tea and you should be fine. I second guessed myself too much and it will mess you over in this course. He is great professor. Gives you everything you need for 100%.

Professor Poon is very fair. He clearly goes over all of the content, and provides plenty of example problems. The class is difficult, but Professor Poon offers all the help you need in order to pass.

Poon is a great professor! He cares and wants you to learn the material. It's not an easy class, but will give you useful tools for life. This semester was affected by COVID so it went virtual, and we had to self teach ourselves which was hard. Had that not happened it would have been an even better class. Take Poon! You won't be disappointed!

Prof Poon is a great teacher and his dry sense of humor makes class go by faster. He does a great job with class pace and provides lecture outlines that you can reference through out the semester. He is available in office hours and in email to discuss any questions. He keeps in mind areas his past students struggled for his current students

Hard subject but amazing professor. He lets you know straightway this is what you need to pass, if you don't take the tip you will fail. He is very helpful in helping you understand the concept with a dash of humor. I recommend forming study groups they really help as the key according to him is "practice, practice, practice," until it's drilled.

I took Fin 301 class and yes, it was hard but Prof Poon really cares about his students. He would go out of his way to explain things to you and gives you plenty of resources to prepare you for the exams. He is by far the most caring professor Ive had at UNLV. And those are hard to come by. He is straight to the point and teaches that way too.

He supplies everything he wants you to know for his exams in his notes that he provides for you. Just read his notes and study the practice homework problems and quizzes that he assigns and you should be ok in his class. If you reach out to him he gets back to you fast and is very helpful if you do have questions on the material being covered

He is straight forward, come to class and practice, and you'll pass. The class is 3 test so make sure you form a study group it helps, a lot. The professor is funny and caring with his students passing, if he sees that you are trying. Lol, don't come late he will put you on the spot, bring him coffee that's the secret.

This class was online which probably makes it 2x harder but Professor Poon makes the best notes, gives homework questions, and practice quizzes that help you prepare for tests. If you read everything and practice the material you should get a fair grade. He's also super helpful.

Amazing lecture notes! Very hands-off teaching style, but is available whenever you need it. No hw or quizzes, just 4 exams, so if you know you can't handle self-study no accountability until exam time, then I wouldn't recommend it. If you have the discipline and favor flexibility, then take Prof. Poon for sure.

I took his online summer course for FIN 303 and thought it was good. Basically he gave us the notes for the chapter and we were responsible to learn the material. He has 4 class meetings online a week, but its basically a Q/A time not a lecture. He gave 4 exams and curved every one 3-7%. He allowed us to use notes as well so if you fail, your fault

LISTEN! Many classmates would complain way too much about how hard it is. That's because they do not practice the examples and rush it in one day. I took this over the summer and this class can be done in literally 2 weeks. It is only 4 tests and you only need to spend 2 days on each test. Read his notes and do all the problems, please! EASY A

This class is only graded by 4 exams and there's no lectures, the WebEx meetings are more like additional help. His lecture notes are more important than the textbook and he makes it really easy to understand. As long as you study the notes really well, the class is not too bad. He's a sweet guy and is willing to help when you need it!!

Whatever you do, take his class! The class grade is based purely on noncumulative exams, with no homework. The tests are open note. There is a textbook, but he only uses it for practice problems. All you have to do is read his notes from Canvas and practice the problems on a continual basis. He has a good sense of humor and lectures are helpful.

I took the class this summer term. The grade depends on 4 exams. Light homework, not graded. HW helps you understand the concept. He provides lecture notes for each chapter. Go through all the lecture notes(especially the practice quiz) he provides and you will get a good grade. Exams are not difficult if you review the lecture notes carefully.

Professor Poon is a very nice guy, less of an asshole than most professors are. I don't know about his other classes, but his FIN 308 class is RIDICULOUSLY easy. If you know how to convert 1 USD to EUR you already know 75% of what you're going to learn. However, his lectures are INSANELY boring. So be prepared for that. Class is easy AF tho.

The class was graded on 4 tests, all non-cumulative, and the equations were provided on the exams. Very easy grader. If you have the right formula/idea written on the exam even though the answer is wrong, he'll only take of 1-2 points of 9 per question. Took no notes in class as everything is provided with examples of how to do it.

Professor Poon is one of the best Finance professors at UNLV. He really cares about his students. His class is graded on 4 non-cumulative exams and he provides an equation sheet for each exam. He also creates his own notes for each chapter and they're extremely easy to understand. His practice quizzes are very similar to the actual exams.

Nice guy but overly complicates simpler questions and expects you to work out his way on the exam. Class grade was 100% exams. You don't need the book just study his notes and class handouts and follow his steps on the exam. He is very generous with partial credit you will pass no problem.

I was dreading FIN 301 but professor Poon made it enjoyable! He makes the material understandable and fun!! May seem like a lot at first, but if you stay motivated, come to class and study for the exams you will do just fine. One of my new favorite professors!

Prof. Poon was a great professor to take. He himself is not what's hard about this class, it's finance that's hard and the fact that your grade is based only only 3 exams (2 midterms and 1 final). However, he provides his own notes to study and do practice problems, that will be VERY identical to the exam. Form study group, and you will be okay!

Professor Poon did an amazing job at teaching FIN 301. He is a good professor; the material of the class is what is difficult. If you don't show up, it will be difficult to pass. He has a sense of humor, so that helps the class go by faster. If you have a question, ask BEFORE he moves on to another topic, or you'll be lost. Overall, 8.8/10.

Professor Poon is a pretty straightforward teacher. I took his FIN 301 class over the summer and it was really easy. All you have to do is study the material and understand it. If you don't, just ask! He's also really funny. Grades are only a few exams, no HW at all. Just memorize the notes he gives you and how to do the problems and its an easy A.

Professor Poon is such a sweet old man. He has an accent but nothing too difficult to understand. Attendance isn't mandatory but I'd highly recommend showing up or you might fall behind. Textbook is mainly used for hw but not graded. Only have 3 exams that make up our grade, very generous with grading and will explain patiently. 10/10 recommend

Prof. Poon is awesome. This is a more difficult course but he makes it easy. You're graded only on 3 exams. Lecture notes are easy to understand and exams are based solely on lecture notes, hw, & practice quizzes. Textbook is only for hw (not graded). He gives extra points on exams too. He makes jokes and is very kind. Take him!!

Amazing professor I would definitely recommend him!!!!!!

Professor Poon is great. Whole grade is based on 4 exams but as long as you pay attention and study his notes you'll be fine. Definitely show up to class and pay attention to lectures. Overall, definitely recommend him!

Professor Poon is nice and quite funny. The only grades in the class are exams but they are quite easy to do. My one critique is that he can come off as rude when responding to class questions. He also doesn't post grades. Other than that, his class was a breeze, I highly recommend.
