Reviews of professor Alan Thometz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Alan has to be one of the worst professors that I've taken at Carlson. Case assignments are vague and unclear assumptions for calculations. Exams are worth 50% of your grade, and there is no partial credit given. When asking for help he belittles you in front of class and doesn't answer your question. AVOID AT ALL COSTS DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

His class topics are difficult, no question about it. While he could be more clear on grading guidelines, if you are open to discussing the cases problems inside or outside of class, he's invested in helping you succeed. Lectures can be dry, but it's pretty dry material, so what can you do

I am a senior with two majors and a minor, and can definitively say that Alan Thometz has to be the WORST professor in all of Carlson. He is unclear in every assignment's expectation, inconsistent in his grading, and overall does not care if his students succeed. Even office hours are unhelpful. TAKE ANY OTHER PROFESSOR. DO NOT TAKE THOMETZ.

Giga Chad but if you aren't hard-working or interested in finance--who is, tbf--won't succeed with Alan. He is based as **** and exceptionally chadly. Please don't take his classes if you are studying something non-numeric like BCOM or Ops. He does make you work. His laborador retriever named Hazel is cute

Made students get excited about Finance. Gave helpful tips about midterm and final. Slow to post grades on homework and midterm. He did give helpful tips regarding what to expect on the midterm and final. Beyond the midterm, this class had 2 very short cases, bi-weekly homework assignments, and no group projects.

LISTEN. If you have a sub-99 IQ, you WILL have a difficult time withThometz. He is a thespian--he is a scholar--he is an advocate--he is a thinker. YOU WILL have a difficult time if your diet is whores and beer. Alan is an athlete, public advocate, tinkerer and engineer at heart. DO NO TAKE THIS CLASS if you are mid-iq, that's just no cap.
