Definitely not suited to be a finance professor and should stick to teaching law. His explainations were wrong most of the time, he uses no teaching aids (eg. notes, ppt,overheads), and attempts to offer explanations when he doesn't know the answer. He is one of the worst profs I've ever had.

Overall, he is a wonderful person.However, he was great in 275 but in 276 I wasn't satisfied. There is wayyyy too much information on the handouts and although the exam is open book its hard to find the info when the questions are so detailed. If I can go back, I wish I didn't choose this course. But in 275---it was EXCELLENT!!!!

Although he knows what he's talking about, he doesn't seem to care so much about his students. He does not use any teaching tools and eventually gets everyone bored within an hour or so. His exam questions are highly arguable and can be confusing. Overall, it isn't difficult to pass his class but it is a challenge to get an 80+.

He's probably the worst professor I've had. He doesn't care for his students but he tries to convince them that he does. In other words, he's teaching just for the paycheque + pension. His exams questions are highly arguable and tricky. Oh, and I can't forget the fact he shows up late to every class and doesn't use any presentation tools.

We would never get through everything in class....not even half of the material so you must do some reading/skimming on your own. Make sure you understand the cases in the book because many exam questions relate to them. Went to all classes before 1st exam and did OK...went to only 1 class after that and killed the final. It takes some adapting...

King is AMAZING, especially for any MOS BisLaw courses. While the courses themselves aren't easy - you can still get a high mark if you put in the work and study well. A good tip for his classes is to take really good lecture notes and use them as a guideline - for what to study in the textbook. 100% would recommend for anyone who loves learning.

The BEST professor!! The below comments are all true. NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS CLASS!!! Not a morning person? This will make you want to get up. He tells relevant, interesting, funny stories before each class. VERY engaging. I would take this class again and again. It made me consider going into Law. This professor has a special gift.

Absolutely amazing prof, an incredibly interesting person that just makes everything he teaches that much more interesting itself. Exams are super tough but studying a lot won't necessarily get you a better mark, as they are application based.

Professor King is by far one of the best professors at Western. He is articulate, funny, and makes online learning entertaining. To do well, you MUST take notes on what he says in lectures and the examples he gives because they help your thought process a lot. All application based questions, and 90% of questions overlap between reading and lecture

This professor is one the of best I've had. You need to understand his lectures well to do well on midterms but the content itself is so interesting I dont even mind it. He provides interesting real life cases and explains concepts through examples so its never just theory. He throws in occasional jokes and always keeps his lectures entertaining.

Professor King is great and very knowledgeable in the course content. He posted lecture videos beforehand and you can study in your own time. But the textbook is dry and hard to read. The exam is mostly based on videos and there are some questions I assume comes from testbank. Also, he still uses proctortrack which is not convenient at all

Good prof, posts all lectures online that go into good detail of the course. One thing is that he tends to heavily focus on certain topics over other topics which is a bit annoying and gives certain application questions where we he never goes over (specifically money related questions).
