He is a superb professor. Very helpful, friendly, and an expert in his field. I totally recommend him if you're taking Fin555.

I had him during the summer session. He definitely knows his stuff and kinda teaches like a father figure, he really seems to want you to learn it and will spend time helping you. I recommend him. Don't take in summer, too short.

Took him during the summer session and he teaches very well. Take this class with him during the summer even though its fast he is easier on you then so instead of the midterm you get three quizzes that are from the study guide, one project, and final...

Just finished the 2nd summer session with professor Codina. I have to say I was disappointed--disappointed that the course was too short! Professor Codina is definitely the best professor I have had thus far at DePaul. I definitely recommend him.

had him for summer session...great teacher..very nice and caring that all his students do well and understand the material fully! quizzes were easy yet the final was a bit hard!! overall good class..TAKE iT!!

GOOD GUY, A LITTLE HARD BUT THIS COURSE ISNT EASY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM. HE DOES CURVE GRADES AND GRADES A BIT DIFFICULT. COVERS THE WHOLE BOOK, BUT IF YOURE GOOD AT THE STUDY GUIDE YOUR FINE. HE WILL TELL YOU MOST OF THE MC QUESTIONS ON EXAMS ARE FROM STUDY GUIDE

Such a nice person. Always ready to help. Just do the study guide and you should pass the tests. I really liked this class. Take him!!!

He's a very good professor

Codina rocks!

This class is tough! Not the most interesting but it’s useful. He is real good at helping and really cares about his students. Try and not take anything else this semester. Overall a brutal class. P.S. Dont spend your whole semester working on the project. It’s only 20% of the grade and it can be a nightmare.

good prof. not too clear but very helpful.

he is so cute. i dont think he teaches very clearly, but you will pass b/c the material isnt that hard. and i think he passes alot of people regardless.

Outstanding Professor! Cares very much for his students and what you get out of the class. He includes a lot of real world material in his class. I recommend you take his class as a start to your MBA program.

he will cram the whole 25 chapter textbook into the quarter session using every class minute available. so lots of material to study for exams. no homework assignments except 2 short group reports. each absense, even excused, drops your overall grade. look interested in class to bump up your participation. given that, i would still take him again.

Codina is awesome - hes makes the best of the material which isnt very interesting although he will keep you 2 min past the time your supposed to leave - The info is immense! there is a ton of stuff to remember although he gives you all the questions in the test bank - there are seriously about 1500+ questions to study - 35 on the test...no joke

The class is hard but thats just because of the course not codina, he is probably one of the easier professors you will find in the department. You will have two assignments a midterm and a final. Put more effort into studying for the tets because they make up for most of you grade. Also he curves your final grades depending on the classes scores.

No matter who you take the class is going to be somewhat hard but Codina makes it bareable. You have two assignments and two tests in which he will provide a genereous curve if needed. I got a score of a c on my midterm and was sure I got the same on my final but ended up with an A- in the class. Great prof I highly recomend him.

It is a hard class and it is by no means an easy A. You will get a lot out of the class if you work hard and do the homework. He is a nice guy and brings real world experience to the class.

I thought he was great! Interesting class material and stories. He gives you very straight forward, accurate advice for midterm and final. Class is a lot of work but worth investing time into homework and quizzes as they are similar to test material

He's very helpful, classes are fun. He makes you work hard on the most important concepts (homeworks and team projects). He likes to teach you different approaches of a topic and gives his opinion but encourages you to develop your own. Sometimes he's not too clear explaining some concepts but when people ask he can find a better way to explain it

Great class, very good professor, one of the best I've had at Depaul. His class is challenging, but you will learn a lot. He is very responsive and if questions are asked in class, he has the ability to break things down so that a novice can understand what is going on. Accessible by email and makes time to meet during his office hours.

Codina is a nice guy, and he is not a bad teacher but he spends almost the entire course teaching you this stupid software model that you will never use in the real world. I'm not sure I learned anything I can use outside of the software model.

He's a very nice professor and very helpful. He's also a good grader. The course is not easy but take it use Codina better than others. We had online midterm( which helps a lot for the in class) and in class midterm. The same thing for the final.Don't take this course in summer.You will not have enough time.

Codina is a nice guy and good professor with a lot of international experience. That being said, I advise against taking his FIN555 in a 5-week session. Things moved way too quickly and he tried to cram 1.5 courses into one session. Take him in a 10-week session, but the class will be hard. The discussion board was impossible to keep up with.

He is a good teacher, explaines material well and has interesting stories. Midterm and Final are manageable long as you study for them. Better than most finance teachers.

Yes he can be brutal but Codina is a nice guy, he cares about the students and tries to help. However, he can be confusing and misleading, but it gets better after a few weeks. If you study hard you will learn a lot and do well. I liked that he also thought the sources and uses of net liquid assets and not only CF.

Great professor! Very interesting class and, by far, the most useful class I have taken at DePaul (despite the fact that I'm not FIN major). Highly recommended!!!

I HIGHLY recommend this class!It is case studies and is a bit challenging but people forget that this is GRAD school!if you want to learn this class has stimulating debates and constructive criticism involved for every case presentation.Don't waste your time and others' if you only want an A.it's a shame for such a good class not to enjoy it!

I have Taken Codina for Fin 380, and I enjoyed every bit of it. He is an excelent Professor with a lot of knowledge through his work experience. He was teaching us some "secrets" in the world of finance. If you want to stand out in the future and have a sucessful career, Take The Class. Easy grader, nobody can get under a B. Go to class though.

Professor Ramon Codina is one of the best teachers at Depaul University. He is extremely intelligent,knowledgeable,easy going and interesting. I truly gained a lot of knowledge and better understanding of finance by attending his class. I would highly recommend this professor

Professor Ramon Codina, is one of the best Depaul has to offer. Please take 380 with him. You will not regreat. Easy grader.

If you like Finance and want to be sucessful in this sector, Take codina for 380. Very helpful, and interesting class. If you study a little, you can get an A.

Best class ever. Fantastic professor. Take him, you will not regreat. The other postings, about the case studies, beeing hard....lasy students that don't want to study at all, and think they deserve an A. Did I mention that he is one of the Best professors at DePaul?

He is a professional guy who used to run his own business. So things in his classes can be very practical.

Professor Codina is a very brilliant. He grades based on your thought process rather than your answer in this course, in other words he values a creative thought process and a slightly incorrect answer than a traditional thought process and a supposed correct answer. You will learn a lot for practice in the real world as opposed to theory.

Codina is great! He has a unique sense of humor and also takes the time to give his personal opinion on a lot of topics without just giving boring lectures by reading from power point slides. The class consists of 2 tests and two mini papers. Take it with him.

He is very smart and funny. The subject is somewhat of a review of other business classes such as money & banking and some accounting classes. If you took those classes first then this class should be pretty easy. Weekly online quizzes and two tests.

The course was informative and the cases discussed were challenging.

Ramon is great! He's a very funny guy. Tells you 3 variations of the same formula that you can use throughout the entire midterm and partially the final. Very straight forward. Participation can literally be reminding him he has something written on the board already. I would definitely take him again! You don't need the book if you take notes.

He explains the material well and has a lot of experience in the finance industry. He is also really funny and nice. I would recommend him to everyone!

A very nice professor I shall never forget for all the in-puts he provided. Really hard when needed

He's an easy teacher. If you spend a couple hours studying before the exam you will be fine. Gives you homework problems which are exactly the same as the midterm with different numbers. Other people writing reviews need to stop having their feelings hurt for being called on.

Makes most things he expects pretty clear. Listen to his lectures and you understand the material. What he does in class is basically 90% of the exams (the rest are definitions etc). People are soft and complain when he calls someone out for a bad grade, get over it. This class does not require an incredible amount of effort to do well in.

Pretty good FIN310 prof, he lets you have cheatsheet on Mid term and Final. The quizes are take home (mylabs) and unlimited tries).

Ramon is probably one of the better professors for finance but it isn't a walk in the park. If you skip class you will not do well. Homework problems every night that are not graded. Tests are hard so you have to really study to get a good grade. He will call on students and will question if they are 100% sure of answer. Good prof though

Class really isn't too necessary to pass. All problems are the same as discussed in class and gives many hints on what will be on the midterm and final. Get formula sheets for midterm and final making both tests very manageable. Quizzes online and unlimited attempts. Easy B, not hard at all for an A.
