Dr. Verma is a very good teacher. He makes absolutely sure you understand the material and that you know how to do test problems. Take him- he's a good teacher!
Verma is a relly good teacher. He teaches really good.He makes sure that you are fully prepared for the exam. His exam comes straight from the class notes. He offered extra credit and a review. His test are straight foward. Take his class.
I am trying to take Verma , advise please.
He makes the class very understandable. Take class notes and go to test review and you are guaranteed to make a good grade. No Homework.
He is the best teacher in UHD, take him and you will remember him all in your life
Cases was not to good, tests were hard for me and he did no kind of curving. But I heard good comments abount him for FIN 3302. I guess if you study you will be ok. I did not pass his class.
I took him for both Cases and Investments & did not like the way he taught. Your best bet is to read the book to get a better understanding of the material. He allows the class to determine the % on exams & final. In all, he's fair, but I had difficulty understanding him.
Dr. Verma is very smart and professional. He knows the class material well and wants his students to learn. He does not curve much. Take a lot of notes in class because they are 90% of the test material. Practice the problems over and over again. If you need additional assistance go see him after class. He is also cute.
he goes over material a little quick but is easy to understand. tests are exactly like his reviews. take good notes and you'll make good grades!
Great professor. Knows the material very well. Loves to help his students. Always has time for us. Makes difficult material easy. COB should be very proud having him.
This professor is very knowledgeable and lectures pretty fast. Keep up in class and take good notes (esp. when he gives practice probelms) and you'll make an A.
It's hard to understand his English. He teaches very fast and writes messy notes on the board. I don't like his class so far.
he is an easy professor. take the notes, follow him during the lectures, and you will do fine in exam. practice all the problems he gives you before the exam, b/c they will be on there! best finance prof, his lectures helped me out for my seminar class too! will take him for investments and all other fin clases!!!!!
Very Easy Professor. His English is absolutely fine and his notes are very clear and legible. He really makes difficult material very easy. You can't find any easier and better professor than Dr. Verma. Anyone having hard time with him has serious issues...I mean very serious issues.
Compare to all my finance professors, Dr. Verma tops the list. He knows his material very well and is skilled in teaching even the hardest material in a very easy-to-understand format. I wish we have more finance teachers like him!
I loved this teacher. I was scared to take finance but luckily I got him and it was ok.
Great teacher, understandable, puts notes on webct so you can print before class. Highly recommended!
He's an awesome professor to take your first finance course w/. He totally lays out the foundation of finance plain and simple.
Took him in his 1'st Semester in School! VERY Great understanding of his course material explained it very clear with great examples exams were exactly as what was covered in course! Wouldnt complain about a thing! THANK YOU Dr. VERMA! it was a true honor.
Reviews throughy for tests. Goes over material at a good pace and is helpful. One individual project, and I am pretty sure he gives you a good grade if you tried your best at it. Tests are multiple choice, the only tricky questions are the definition questions. If you like the grade you have at the end of semester you do not have to take final.
Great Teacher! If you pay attention and take good notes you will do fine. Do all the problems he assigns because they will show up in the Exams. He is very fair and curves grades. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE SOLVING PROBLEMS OR YOU WILL NOT GET A GOOD GRADE. I made an "A" in a Summer session class. Always willing and available to help students!
Great Teacher, very easy to follow gives great examples and is very good at explaining the information given. He gives a detailed review for each problem on his multiple choice test. The best finance teacher by far.
Very good teacher. TAke him
He is an excellent teacher and oh so fine.
He is the best professor ever! His tests are straight from notes from class all he does is change the numbers!
wonderful professor. always prepare for his class. he makes Finance easy. "easy" means, he know how to teach. you will never forget what you have learnt in his class. his notes is very helpful. you might want to keep it for your future use.
The Best Professor In UHD. You got to register early to get into his class.
I just learn a little bit from his class, and he never response when you email to him. he promises but never does not do.
Very easy class because he tells you exactly what's going to be on the exams.
Take him for everything.. His tests are from his notes. He gives a review before exams.
Great professor.
Dr.Verma is cool.He goes kinda fast though in class.DONT read the book just follow the class examples you do.Just practice the problems u do in class and make sure to know the definitions he tells u to study on reviewday.Make yur cheatsheet front and back full page he doesnt check it.Butdonotrely on yur cheatsheetmakesure u practice!timeyurslef!
Took Personal Finance online. Clear for the most part. Professor was averagely helpful. Some questions from the exams were tricky and were not directly from the the problems assigned in the book...
He is okay. I dont know why students like the way he teaches. I think he is tough and teaches way too fast. He is not easy, even if you study the test are very tricky. I would suggest Deo P as the best finance professor.
At UHD,I have not had a better prof than Verma.If I was a finance major,I would take him for everything.Take good notes and practice the probs several times.Finally a prof that is straight forward and doesnt try to be tricky.Be sure to practice the probs he gives or you will not have time to finish the exam.Not too easy, not too hard.Great Prof :)
He is one of the best professors uhd has to offer. He tells you what you need to know and is incredibly organized. He answers all questions, and unlike most uhd professors doesn't make you feel stupid.
This was an online class - hard class. But the teacher gives you everything you need to learn with such as lecture notes, practice problems, conceptual problems, and quantative problems. He even gives you a study plan. Follow it and you will do good.
He teaches fast, but if you can keep up then he is an excellent teacher. Write down everything he writes on the board, study exactly that & know the concepts. Practice the problems he gives you. He is one of the best!
One of the greatest professors at UHD. I never imagined I would like Finance, but he breaks it down so that anybody can learn. Practice the problems he puts on the board (solutions are online too) and you will ace the exams. The only hard thing is keeping up with the time limit on the tests.
Very helpful, answers all your questions and makes sure you understand everything.
Had him online. Great instructor. He responds to emails very fast, and thoroughly answers questions. Everything you need to study is in the modules he provides. Book helps, but not a necessity. Learn everything he gives you, and this class will be no problem.
Dr. Verma, is one of the best finance professors in UHD. As I took him online, he replayed quickly to emails, provided with a good study materials (problems, solutions..), and he even made his own lecture videos. I didn't really use the book, I just study his notes. Got an A in the class:).
Doesn't really teach.
I have taken Dr. Verma twice (for two different course) I think he is a great professor. Be sure to do examples that he covers in slides because they will be on his exams. He drops your lowest test grade. Overall, he is a great professor. Definitely recommend you take him.
took this course summer III online and it was pretty easy. 3 exams drops lowest and final. made a B with not to much effort. Follow the examples in the modules and you will be fine. I would highly recommend!
Taking online now. Very easy if you follow his modules. Best FIN prof hands down. TAKE HIS CLASS! I would take him for every FIN class if I could.
Best FIN3302 professor at UHD. Take his class - you won't regret it. Makes everything easy to understand.
Great finance instructor. Set pace with class. Cares less about technicalities and more about student education and growth. Fair exams, great instructor, would take again.
I took this course online during the winter mini and it was pretty easy. Study the examples from the PP slides since the exam problems are similar. 3 exams drops one and a final. I highly recommend him!
Super easy class to take. I took employee benefits winter mini and am now taking financial planning with him online. He uploads modules and videos and its everything you need to know for the test. Three tests, One final, drops lowest of first three. Any questions and you can email him and he responds quickly. Take his class!
TAKE HIM! Ive taken him twice and Im signing up for a 3rd right now! You do have to do the work but he prepares you. No need to buy the book. He gives you everything you need.
His videos were hard to understand. I also thought he seemed uninterested in our learning. I tend to like classes to have a little more variety when it comes to grading. All tests for your final grade makes things hard. I like constant homework and that creates less text anxiety for me. I am sure he is great for some but I am the exception.
Professor Verma is awesome. I will take him again if I can. Very very fair when it comes to grading. He explains thing crystal clear and will make sure everyone in class understands. Very nice and helpful. I made a D in this class but it was all my fault. I did not focus on the final as much as my other classes. I will take him again.
Easy class, but tests are hard. Have to remember a lot and teacher isn't helpful well to a certain extent. I think he is a robot.
Took this class for a 3 week course and it was a lot of information to take. Reviews on here are very misleading, this class is not a breeze. Test are difficult and very tricky compared to his notes. Good thing is you can use notes during test, but overall not a breeze of a class. Expect to work and book is mandatory.
A lot of information to take in 3 weeks, but he is very clear in his notes and the test are very much like his Lecture Note examples. He answers BB messages right away and is always willing to help if you ask. Highly recommend him.
Took this as a 3 week course. This is NOT an easy A. If you simply do as he says (get the textbook, go through the prepared slides & practice the assigned problems) you will do great in his class. For the 3 week May course there were 2 midterms and a final, all of which were open book/notes. Great communication with his class. Highly recommend!
Good professor, would take again. Read the material and do the reviews and you will pass. Helpful.
This is the easiest class I have ever taken. Only online exams, exactly the same solved problems that he posts. He allows you to take a USB drive to the proctored final exam. No need to study anything, until exam day. Easy A.
he dont teach at all,his exam is so hard
Dr. Verma is an excellent instructor. His lectures are very interesting. Tests- are open books and notes. It is not hard to receive a good grade if you study his material. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher.
I absolutely recommend this professor. He was very clear in assignments and explains everything very well on his PowerPoints. I took him online and he was quick to respond to emails. No book was needed. Study his notes and you'll do good.
Excellent course for MBA level students! Every college student, no matter their major, should be required take some form of this course. Personal Finance is of the up-most importance. I wish I had the opportunity to take this course back in my 20's / as an undergraduate. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take this course.
The class has 4 exams and a final worth 40% of the grade. The exams do not follow the reviews, if you are going to give a review make it relevant to the exam. Make sure you read his slides, he asks exam questions from the slides. I would not recommend this professor at all.
Took this class during the summer, therefore lots of reading in order to cover all the material in just 4 weeks. Total of three midterms (drops the lowest one) & a final. I rented the book, but personally didn't use it because professor Verma provided very detailed lectures that included multiple examples. Some chapters included video lectures.
Took this class online so everything was self-taught. He has PP's, practice problems, and video lectures posted that help. 3 Tests (lowest dropped). 1 Final, which he lets use notes and excel/calculator. He responds to emails really fast and if you need help w a hw problem he is willing to explain. Overall, a good class.
All you have to do is 3 exams one final. No work or quizzes but it is a lot to learn on your own. You really need to read and try to understand the work on your own and you also need one of those expensive calculators. He doesnt give extra credit but he does drop lowest exam grade.
I have taken him for 3 online classes so far. 3 tests 55%, he drops the lowest one. NO EXTRA CREDIT, NO CURVES. 1 final worth 45% of your total grade. Midterms are open book WITHOUT lowckdown brower . You can use his PP on the final and calculator. Not easy but double . You need to a lot study on your own. Reply to emails quickly
TAKE HIM ONLINE!!! He's one of the easiest professors I've ever encountered. Just finished the minimester with him. There are 3 test and one final, no extra grades but that can work in your favor. I did not buy the book. His power points, etc.. are good enough. THERE ARE PLENTY RESOURCES ONLINE THAT WILL MAKE SURE YOU PASS THE CLASS!
easy a self-taught class pay attention to pp & u will pass exams questions are like the pp no webcam cam allows notes/calculator and drops lowest grade
no hmw just watch his pp and resources I'm no good at math but pass its easy if ur not lazy allows notes calculator and no webcam
class is hard exams are not passible took him for the regular term doesn't teach, doesn't teach how to use expensive calculator or excel for his material, exams are fill in the blank and solve out, uses webcam
3 exams,1 final, no other work. either u pass or fail. exam/final is extremely hard and everything is not multiple-choice beware fill out the answer questions he is rude when asking him for help. the only good thing is that there is ho hmw or proj
Three exams (23.33% each) and a Final (30%), doesnt drop the lowest grade . Open book, open notes, you can use excel. (You want to use excel). The class itself is passable, you have to study, if you don't study, you will struggle with this class. No extra credit, you get what you earn basically.
class is only graded by 3 tests 21.67% (each)and one final 35% and comprehensive webcam lockdown is used or testing center as an alternative option
Dont take this professor if you are not ready to teach YOURSELF. Your final grade is based on EXAMS ONLY. 3 exams worth 65% (21.67% each) and final 35%. The only good think about this class is that the 3 exams are open notes but final has to be taken at campus with lockdown OR ProctorU!
only grades 3 exam and one final get the book start reading do not procrastinate learn how to use excel and ask him for help he is good at teaching youtube is your best friend use the tutors at uhd and downfall he uses procteru but allows the use of excel during exams soooo learn excel!
Do not take this class if you want to FAIL!! The grades are based on 3 midterm exams worth (21.7%) each and a Final exam worth 35%. You could do well on the other midterms and still fail since the weight of the final is worth so much toward our final grade. If you fail the final you end up failing the class. No extra credit
Do not take this professor, It only has 3 exams, one final and you got teach your self all the work. If you do well on the exams and you do bad in the final, you can fail the course. Not extra credit, no drop lowest grade on exams. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
Dr. Rahul Verma is a great lecturer who made sure to do quick and fair evaluation. His way of teaching made it easier to grasp the concepts and the coursework he gave were the best as those contained the usage practical knowledge of what we learnt theoretically. I really enjoyed his courses and would certainly recommend it to other students.
Self taught. He's there to answer questions. 3 tests no lockdown, drop lowest test grade= 65%, Final proctored 35%, can use excel, calculator, formula sheet, & notes for all test and final. He used same questions from previous test just changes the amounts on final. Got D on final, B semester grade. No homework, just 3 tests & final.
3 exams open book w/out lockdown. Final is proctured. Those are the only grades you'll get. Professor is accessible and knowledgable. Does have a heavy accent, so it might be difficult to understand during lectures. If you stay on schedule and learn the material well, you should be well for the final.
No homework or assignments. Three exams (lowest grade is dropped) and a final. You definitely have to be diligent and on top of things to do well in this course. I never interacted with the professor, but they seem pretty relaxed as far as class work goes. Simple: study and take the tests.
Professor Verma laid everything out on Canvas very neatly. It was easy to find everything I needed. I took a mini session so we had 3 tests and 1 final. His video lectures were short but helpful. Tests are similar to the reviews he gives out. Class was pretty chill, just study the formulas from each chapter and make sure you know where to use em!
no need to purchase a textbook. he posts a lot of helpful materials. the final exam is the same questions as the 3 midterms, just the numbers are different. if you study the formulas and know how to use excel you'll be okay.
I would not recommend the 3 week mini for this class. He does not offer any extra credit & only grades based off two exams and the final (all 20 questions). I wish the class had more assignments, because if it did I would have passed. Also final is pronctoru
He is a kind professor. Exams are hard but he provides all the material you need in order to be successful. He wants students to succeed. His videos are short and to the point. I liked that he did not have extra assignments, he only graded the exams. There is a lot of self studying involved which I liked.
Took the mini session, only had 3 exams and 1 final. Class is self-studied but he does put up some very helpful videos for the chapters. If you are able to memorize and apply the formulas from the chapters then you will be able to pass this class easily! Just study the review questions and make sure you know when and where to apply the formulas.
3 exams (not proctored) & 1 final exam (proctored). No need to buy the textbook, he provides all the material you need. Not impossible to pass, but you definitely need to score at least a 90 on all 3 exams in order to pass the class. The final is hard (pretty much everyone failed), be sure to study the final review he gives. No extra credit/curves.
3 exams & 1 proctored final. This is a self-taught class. Taking notes in excel is very helpful. Being able to identify keywords in a problem so you can use the right formula is essential to passing. There are plenty of resources for practice (find the textbook online); the prof's slides & videos are all the notes you need.
Only has 3 exams and one final for grades. Drops the lowest exam. He gives 3 PowerPoints and 3 sample questions packets and that is all on one exam. Exams are 20 questions on canvas and open note but are difficult. Teaching yourself everything. Final is on proctor U and allowed 3 sheets of notes. You have to do good on exams, you have no choice.
3 exams (lowest dropped) + 1 proctored final (3 pages notes allowed). Self-taught w/ PowerPoints; no videos. Only used the textbook for practice problems. If you understand the review problems, you'll pass. This was my 2nd class w/ Verma but felt lower quality than others. Wish there were videos & better study/note resources.
3 exams (he calls them midterms) and final only. No other work. Uses lecture videos to teach. All midterms do not require lockdown or proctoring. Only the final. Can use 3 single sided sheets of notes. Final can use excel. If you understand concepts, calculations with notes, can easily past tests and final. drops lowest midterm to help with grade.
3 exams(lowest dropped) & 1 proctored final(3 pages one-sided notes allowed). Self-taught w/ PowerPoints; no videos. Just use the textbook for practice problems. The study modules he posts don't explain the math well(a video would greatly help!) This is my 3rd time w/ Verma. Seems like the quality of his classes goes down the more advanced you get.
