Reviews of professor Thomas Rimer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Loved FI311 with Rimer. Although the class was hard and your grade is decided by very few, tough assignments and exams. Rimer is a great dude and a good teacher, knows what he is talking about, explains material very well, while also a funny dude. Don't miss lectures and you will ace this class.

If you want a professor who does not know how to use D2L aka the platform we pay for, and uses connect for everything rimmer is your guy. He is old, and should have retired a long time ago. Not tech knowledgable at all. Also not understanding at all. If you make a slight mistake he will not let your correct it, and all hw is graded with 0 drops.

Great professor who really wants you to succeed. He gives you everything you need to pass the class, but proper preparation is key. His Excel models are very helpful and he tries his best to make the lectures interesting. There were 2 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 cumulative final, and 5 module assignments. There is also an extra credit book report.

I went to every lecture so I thought I was doing okay in the class until I got a 60 on one thing and basically failed the class.

Not sure why Professor Rimer's rating is so low. The workload for this class is minimal, and the work is not challenging. He tells you what to study for the exams/quizzes (which are open book) in class, as well as going step by step on how to solve the problems on the exams/quizzes. Just do the problems in Excel like he shows, and you'll be fine
