He is a phenomenal teacher with great expertise. He will explain things to you 10 times if need be and will always try to keep the class engaged. He is kind and calm and genuinely wants his students to understand the content. Exams and assignments long but fair. Time management is key and you will have to put in work. 9's will take effort and time.

We had a couple of students in the class who were quite obviously not professional. One student was rude to our professor asking questions that were not necessary. There was especially a girl in the class who asked dumb questions but he was very polite and even made an effort to answer. Very inspirational lecturer and we should have more like him

There is so much to cover and in such a short time I understood a great deal in Finance. Some lectures are theoretical and many others were taught well. I understood NPV so well give his 7 step process. Thank you to a great year and time professor!

I just finished a term with Prof Babra. He is genuinely caring, very passionate about the classes and engages everyone in class. Yes, he cold calls, and at first, I wouldn't say I liked it, but if you listen to what he says, it's not about catching you out but about hearing from you and getting your opinion. This is crucial for an MBA course!

This professor single-handedly made me fall in love with finance. His lectures were very text-heavy but his way of teaching is so fun that you'll be invested in it. Plus, he will explain any and every question you ask him.

Professor Supinder Babra was nice and respectful professor for ADMS 3521. His marking is decent, the major assignments are group based. The main factor in doing well in this course is finding a good group - who help in doing the group assignments. Other than that, textbook was used slightly and attendance is mandortory for marks.

One of the best profs at Schulich uses excel to teach finance instead of pen and paper, teaches very well not the most responsive outside of class hours however still an amazing prof worth taking if given a chance.

Supinder made managerial finance very accessible for me with little finance background going into my MBA. He leverages Excel to teach us finance instead of teaching us math, mimicking real business situations. He genuinely cares about students and connects with us in a caring way. I recommend taking his class, you will learn a lot.

A very tough course for me given my health sciences background. I learned a lot in class and the excel was new but very useful. Pay attention in class and ask lots of questions. At the end I wished we had more classes as I was getting it. Professor Babra is real good at getting you to understand the concepts well.

Finance is tough and the textbooks are really complicated. Going to class made a huge difference. Prof Babra made the difference for me. I was so intimidated with the use of excel but by the end of class I got it. Thank you for a great class. Anyone who thinks otherwise had never been to his classes or appreciates the classes.

Only positive is that the professor is nice. Barely uses the textbook, and does all lectures in excel. Explanations are difficult to follow and he keeps bouncing between ideas/concepts. In his explanations he assumes you already know a ton of material, and without being given specific textbook pages its very hard to fill in those knowledge gaps.

In 2022, Prof. Babra my class nominated him for the Prof of the Year for Schulich, and he came second. He thoroughly deserved this as he took good care of us. The classes were really well structured and I learned a great deal from him!

He rarely uses the book because everything is in the Excel sheets. People are confused because they don't listen or are too busy focusing on other items. If you read the book before class, you are going to do well, like most of us. We trusted him and did another course with him. Best professor at Schulich by a mile!

Investments were a lot of fun with Prof Babra. He walked us through the concepts and then did a lot of Excel work to demonstrate the topic. We all enjoyed it a great deal. I would recommend going to his classes!

Honestly, a really good professor. Has really engaging/interactive lectures, each class has an activity that relates to real-world examples. He also provides really thorough and timely feedback on weekly assignments, and on group projects, gives personalized, person-oriented goals to each member to work on. He is a professor who actually cares.
