Reviews of professor Nima Vafai

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Encouraged in-class participation, interesting lectures with real-world examples, and linked additional reading. Provided us with great online sources for financial info/news/etc. that I utilized throughout the semester and now read daily for both work and pleasure. I'm very appreciative of the effort he put into this semester.

I think Professor Vafai was AMAZING! He was a great instructor and he made material easy to keep up with. He also invited the conversations of all students and their opinions on current topics.

Although I have not any finance courses prior to this class, by doing HW assignments prior to lectors, reading notes and attending classes I scored A in both Midterm exams. I think I will get A unless I do terrible in the final exam. I think he is doing a very good job teaching this class. He is knowledgable and his classes are fun.

Don't get scared by the review left on 4/3. Those type of students relied on others to give them the answers to the assignments. Didn't appear that they even tried to learn. Prof Vafai is caring, patient and funny. Finance is a hard subject in general and he does his best to explain it. If you didn't put in the work, don't blame others for ur fail.

This was a hard class but I feel any Finance class will be hard. Nima Vafai, tries his best to teach the content, but I believe he is held back because the class is standardized. As long as you understand the homework and how the formulas work, you should be able to get through the class. Don't take if you are going to take other hard classes.
