Reviews of professor Ashok Margam

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Finance is horrible! So, if you have the option take him. The class is still challenging, but at least Dr. Margam cares about his students.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
VERY difficult quizzes/tests, especially when he makes the tests in person on LockDown browser. We have Excel homework but cant use Excel on the final, and get a cheat sheet for each exam but not on the final. He cares about the students and is passionate about finance, but wouldn't take him again.

If you are a Finance major you should take him. He makes you want to go to class and listen to him. Have to prepare for the stock market before each class. But one of the best professors in SJU

This guy is one of the nicest professors you will have. He will drop everything just to help you. He is new and everything was online at first but then he caught on to how easy he was being and made it harder but still told us exactly where he got his questions from. If you do the practice problems and get help, you will be fine.

Dr. Margam was great for FIN200. He is very smart and you can tell he knows what he's talking about. Genuinely wants everyone to do well. There are a lot of tests, almost one every week, but they're not impossible and he drops some. Excel assignments weekly which aren't the easiest but he's willing to help. I'd take him again.

I have never rated a professor before but after taking Professor Margam I definitely think it would benefit others. One of the toughest professors I've ever taken in my life. 80 percent of my schoolwork is for this course and he grades everything so harshly and does not offer extra credit. You will have an exam every single week along with excel hw

Dr. Margam is a very understanding professor and is always looking out for the best interest of the class. If you stay organized and keep track of when assignments are due then you should have no problem with doing well in the class.

Dr. Margam was a pleasure to have as a professor. His class requires effort, but the more effort you put in, the more you get out of it. He was also very flexible with office hours. I had another class during his hours and he stayed later to meet with me. He definitely cares about the success of his students. Work hard and youll earn a good grade.
