Reviews of professor John Riccardi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he doest really know what hes talking about, so be ready to teach yourself. its not as hard as it seems if you know hoe to take exams, and if everyone gets the answer wrong then he gives everyone credit. its annoying but not that bad if you take it with a friend. proctored in class exams

Nice guy who didn't grade too difficult

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He appreciates a hard-working student and will give you all the help you need. His teaching style is definitely different from other professors but it did work for me. He is a sweetheart and will curve your grade!

Riccardi doesn't understand how to teach finance and is not credible. There are 3 exams and they are worth 60% of the final grade. You do a group project that took me, for my part around 4 hours and it was worth 10% of the final grade. If you need to take finance for your major and he is the only professor, wait another semester, he is horrendous.

I liked Riccardi as a person but as a professor he's not my fav. He just reads off the slideshow the whole class and barely teaches. I had a hard time paying attention and absorbing anything because it's so painfully boring. Try to take someone else.

Professor Riccardi has no idea what he's talking about. Treats class as an investment class, which even that he knows nothing about. Is not willing to help and is not flexible. Coming from someone who spent countless hours studying, in office hours, tutoring, group studies, anything you can think of. Even if you like finance like I do, NOT WORTH IT

Great person and great teacher! Economics can be a difficult subject to understand and teach but he is very accessible and wants to help. Tests are difficult and require a lot of studying. Grading is fair and usually curves grades up. Online homework is assigned but is easy and is started in class. Great guy, would recommend!
