He is really smart...this guy here is an excellent teacher. If you want to learn, take him.

Easy A

This is an interesting class. Study what he tells you in class, and it is an easy A. He is an interesting professor. Knows his stuff.

He is SO SMARTTTT he knows his Material... Try askin him lot of questions....

THE CLASSES ARE NOT TOO HARD. HE IS VERY HELPFUL

Good prof, but BORING! Exams are tough, so be sure to study & read. He gives generous curves though, so that's a good thing.

if you come to class, and study from his notes, you will be fine

I took him about a year ago and I thought he was very intersting. He's not an easy teacher but I wouldn't say it was hard either. He knows what he is talking about. You can learn alot from him.

I don't know why other students rated him difficult. Loved all his classes. Relied on his lectures, never opened a book and got "B". My major in finance may be that's why :). I'm sure if I have opened a book "A" wouldn't be a problem. Take a good notes and read a book you lazy asses! Me included :)

Great prof but moody. Knowledgeable in Fin. & interesting lectures. You’ll learn a lot. He helps you understand fin. markets & its drivers. Very informative. He wants you to ask questions. His tests are tricky (T/F), but you have to study. Take good notes & read everything in the chapters.

If you took this class you should be a Finance major, you need to know this stuff. He's VERY SMART, don't waste his time and he won't waste yours. Don't ask stupid questions and he'll answer them fully. Test are T/F, but if you take good notes AND study you'll be fine. Overall he's a good prof, just a little moody but good sense of humor. Got a B.

Took him 2-3 years ago!!Great teacher, TAKE NOTES!!HIGHLIGHT What he talks about in the book and study those along with ur notes & uLL be ok. He might sound hard but he has great understanding of the course material and can explain if u ask him. We had a presentation on Fraud and was interesting & informative and boosted our grades. Thank You Dr.P

Dr.Pelaez is an awesome Finance professor. he knows his stuff, cool sense of humor, and straight forward exams. Take plenty of notes! Got a B

Dr. Pelaez is super intelligent and knows his stuff. Hightlight and write lots of notes and you will do fine. You have to read too. He is not easy, but college shouldn't be easy. I got an A in his class because I studied really hard.

I am pretty interested in finance and have taken quite a few classes, but I can see where some students would find him boring. His test are test/false and extremely tricky. I would recommend him.

Prof is very helpful. He is very clear on what will be on the exams. He does expect class participation. Curves exams. Funny guy!

i dont know about you other people but this teacher was the best at first i thought he would be hard but he gives hand out questions and goes thru them and those are pretty much the same ones on the exam curves the class grade doesnt care about attandance love him

The instructor knows his stuff. Be careful, even though he give out handouts and works out every problem, you still have to understand the material to pass the T/F quest. Overall he is a very good teach and helps you relate the topics to things in the real world.

Great Professor. Dr. Pelaez is funny and will go over something if you dont undersand...He doesn't take roll but you want to go, since his tests come from his lectures and the book.

Great professor, hilarious, and made class interesting in the beginning until mid semester, then he kinda became a bit uptight. But his exams are okay, just study and you'll do fine. LOTS of bonuses given in this class, and he definitely knows his stuff.

Very experienced professor, he became very uptight around mid semester but just to put pressure on you to get good understanding of the material and get good grades, reviews are helful and he is very willing to help you. He curves tests and gives a lot of extra credit. Attendance is not mandatory.

He is not an easy one, but you will learn subject (if it is your major req. i guess you SHOULD).

Good prof - he is an interesting character. He gives review sheets so study those for exams. He gave us bonus points for buying the correct calculator. I thought the second half of the course was harder, but I still made an A (it wasn't easy). He didn't take attendace.

He uploads practice tests and works on them in class, and the exams are almost the same. He does get a little uptight midsemester, but he gives you 10 points added to your final grade if you take your financial calculator first day of class. Do not think you can slack off, you still have to put in the time and effort and you will get an A.

2 test and a final but he posts practice tests online and does them in class and his tests are straight from the practice tests. buy the calculator he says and you get 10 points added to your final grade(if you have an 85 as your final grade you will now have a 95) super easy course. he always has a joke to tell. highly recommended

Awesome Professor!! He teaches you the right way to do things, uses real world situations, and is very straight forward! Always have you finance cal. especially on the first day of class b/c he gives you extra points on your final grade! Take him you will learn a lot! You should pass unless you are a moron lol!! I got an A.

This teacher is awesome. Just make sure you are there during class and you'll be ok. His tests are very similar to the examples done in class. Highly recommend this teacher!

Very good and awesome professor he is very good with his students only you need to practice the tests and quizzes and you will pass this class the best finance teacher I have taken In UHD

Awesome teacher! the class itself is challenging, don't expect it to be easy, but he is a great teacher. Took an 8 week hybrid, lectures are long but super informative. only took mid term & final. He does curve & bonus points for bringing finance calculator first day. only complaint is the number of tf on the tests.

If you don't do well in this class, then you are lazy. point period blank. He is one of the best professors I have ever taken, I am finance major and learned so much from him I wish he taught more finance classes, but sadly he does not. Take him! Gives you 10 bonus points for calculator! Just study his reviews if you don't study them you will fail

Your grade consists of three exams (2 midterms and a final) that are all weighted the same. 10 points added to your final course grade for bringing a financial calculator to class the first day. If you pay attention and take notes and study from the book for the exam, you can do well. Trust me, I got a D on the first test and got an A in the class!

Took him in person and online. Online is better, he gives test guides that are very similar to the online exam. No quizzes, homework, projects. Grade is from one exam and your final. Made a B on the exam and didn't study too hard. Does replace exam grade with final if it benefits. Gave an example exam of the final. Emails to keep you updated.

3 exams one online HW not mandatory but helps when taking the exams easy A if you practice with the HW

took his class over the summer. it was a mid term and a final. he gives you a cheat sheet with questions and answers. study that and you'll make an A. no text book purchase required.

What a gem of a professor he is. Subject matter is hard in nature but professor does everything in his power to make u understand. Don't skip any lectures n u surely will get an "a". Every student who wants to major in finance should definitely take him. He makes sense out of hard nonsensical ideas.

This class is not very hard, he will allow you to use a earlier edition book to make it much cheaper on you so dont buy the latest edition and you will save $$. He makes things simple, too simple at first... be ware, it does get harder so pay attention after the first test! He will answer all of your questions to make sure that you understand!

Took this course hybrid. Overall grade come from 2 tests and a final. Teaches the material and posts hw online that's not due. Its more for practice. He drifts off from the material in class to joke around about politics. I kind of self thought myself a few things but overall he was a good professor. Applied myself and made an A.

I took him online for summer 2, 2018. He grades based on midterm and final, and as an online student you need to read, be good at self teaching although he has material to help you and practice test questions posted, take advantage. He also curves I got an A, awesome. I wish I would take him for all finance classes.

Only 2 grades, Midterm & Final. He gives you possible test questions needed to pass, if you make below a B, you definitely should switch majors. Easy class, he is a bit rude but I took him anyway because of the class content. He curves based on everyones final grade. So if you're lazy and dont study, but others do, then the curve WONT help you.

only midterm and final so take good notes and groupme with class

Took this professor for Investments and he was very caring and sympathetic through out the end of the semester due to the virus. Grades were based on 2 exams (midterm & final) and were taken with notes. He provides test banks for both exams and also curves! So if you get a C or lower, you just don't care.

This class requires reading and quite a bit of studying. Fortunately, he provides all the questions that will be on the test up front. Unfortunately, there's about 75 questions per chapter as the study guide so you will have to study a lot of questions but if you do, it's an easy A. Midterm is respondus but no camera. Final is proctored

I took him for two different finance classes. Very very knowledgeable. You just need to study hard. Not recommended for slackers. You have to put in a lot of time. Overall I wish I can take him again.

your grade is a curved average of three tests... no homework, no quizzes... just 3 tests. Curved off the highest score in your class, so if someone aces it, y'all be screwed. Extra credit is limited and first come, first served. It will end up be half a letter grade increase if you are lucky.

This is a very difficult class if you're not good at math, but Prof. Pelaez is one of the few professors I've had who actually cares about helping his students learn. He is available to provide help when needed, responds promptly to attempts to contact him, and goes out of his way to help his students be successful.

Take this class, very easy A!! There's only two test and the final and he does offer extra credit. He provides a test bank with questions and answers for the tests that you are allowed to use during the tests. You will find 90% of the answers on the test bank. You can use it for the final too, very easy class.

Great professor. Goes very slow and speaks clearly. Very patient with students who show up and try. 3 Exams and 1 Final. All classes recorded and provided. I would take almost any class from him. Highly recommend.

This professor remains after class to assist his students in comprehending challenging problems.

3 tests, 1 final (open book), no homework. Attendance is not mandatory but you should definitely go because the exams can get a little difficult.

Attendance is only taken on the first day, no homework throughout the semester but he does provide study guides. 3 exams, 1 final, all open note/non procted! He will replace your lowest grade. His material is tricky, but he does his best to explain and is responsive to emails. Highly recommend!

This class is easy if you make a friend to help each other incase you don't get one of the chapters.

Professor Rolando Pelaez is great,very interesting lectures,provides wonderful information that you can easily apply in the real business world,he makes very difficult concepts easy to understand,he truly cares for his students...I will definitely take him again!!!!

If you're looking for a GPA booster, this is it! This course was a super easy A. Only two exams and a final (none were proctored or on lockdown). Very low stress and easy to do well.

Very easy class! Provides all the information needed for the class and the textbook (you can find online for free) is an easy read. He provides a test bank with questions which are all on the exam. Easiest 3305 class out there. Would 100% take again!
