The most brutal grader I have ever had. Does not give partial credit, does not want to see any work and you have to give final answers in under 20 words. With only 3 questions on each test, 1 mistake on a test and you get a D. He doesn't teach python but expects you to be able to code it on the test.

Don't take her. I repeat don't take her. She does not grade till the last minute and grades very tough. Doesn't communicate with students at all, If you try to she'll give you one word reply. She does not explain anything and when you do the wrong thing , she'll be very happy to fail you. You think your grade is an A? Watch it go to a C in two days

Lectures were hard to follow and slides weren't helpful. No textbook or other resources were available. Assignments weren't too hard and he gives great outlines for tests.

One of the best professors I have had in my time at UA. FI412 is a difficult class with difficult concepts but this class is designed 100% for success. Tests are taken online using excel during class time but in class and you get a full cheat sheet back and front. 3 Tests & 4 Quizzes and he drops the lowest of each with just 3 homeworks.

He goes very slow through most of the content. The tests are very fair. The homework and labs that are part of your grade are very easy. There are 3 cases that take some time to do, but are very doable. Is somewhat entertaining and seems to care about his students. Looks for participation during class.
