Reviews of professor Jason Gurtovoy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The finance calculator is a MUST for exams, but he uses Excel during class - they work way differently. His suggestion to all the calculator confusion is "just play around with it". He's nice and seems into the subject, but he flies through everything way too fast without explaining much.

Great prof and I enjoyed the class. The hw was due every few weeks and two exams. Study guides and practice exam made it easy.

he's very fast paced to the point where you probably have to self teach yourself. he uses pearson for homework & it was very tedious to do cause i spent over 4-5 hours just on one chapter. challenging class just cause finance is a hard subject. calculator is a must for class. goes over a study guide before each test.

The tests were mostly based on the study guide & the problems he did in class so make sure you take good notes especially on how to use the calculator. Would've done a lot better if I didn't procrastinate on the HW/Quizzes & studied earlier. He really tries not to make it difficult to pass the class tho and he will always ask if we need clarifying

This guy is extremely monotonous and seems as if he does not want to be there during lecture. Get ready to learn the material all on your own because going to class is pointless. Avoid at all costs.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Skims through notes during lecture WITHOUT explaining or giving examples & writes notes on board very sloppy and with no structure. Hw every week. Have to read chapter on own time. This is coming from someone who loves economics, stays up to date with the markets, reads business/finance/economics books on their spare time.
