Reviews of professor Louis Salemy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Salemy brings a lot of wisdom and experience to FE458 (Equity Security Analysis). He is a former mutual funder manager at Fidelity and brings in many high-profile contacts as guest speakers throughout the semester. He is very opinionated in what he believes is the right way to value a company, which is neither a good or bad thing.

Prof is really knowledgeable and good at lecturing. There are no quizzes and tests but prepared to do weekly/bi-weekly case studies and a semester-long project that is basically a repeat of the case studies. There is also no clear grading criteria for these papers and the prof has strong personal opinions about investment and valuation.

This is a new class, and it is very different because it follows a case structure. There are No exams, but you need to complete 6 very long and tedious case assignments, that can get very long. You also have to participate quite frequently in each class. This class is very practical, and you learn a lot, definitely recommend it and him as a prof.
