Reviews of professor Nicolas Martelin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is an interesting class and the teacher provides engaging games and discussions. However, his exams/quizzes, especially the final one, has a very weird format and is unnecessarily tricky.

The class is interesting and he is a good teacher. However, his exams are tricky and the format is very odd.

He is great 1on1. He cares about understanding more than simply a grade . The lectures are good and he is ready to open a dialogue. BUT his quizzes are unfair format and unclear requirements for essays. A big let down was his promise to students for a letter of recommendation only to never answer an email regarding it. That is the worst.

A great class. The course was well-structured and very interesting with a wide coverage of topics on behavioral finance.

This might be one of the best classes I've taken in my time at Concordia. The material provides more insight into the financial workplace than other finance classes. Through experiments conducted in class, the teacher manages to get everyone to participate and to get involved.

Literally the worst! He doesnt know how to teach and never cares about students.

He doesn't give any feedback on your essays even when you ask him, so you don't know how to improve for the second essay (total of 40% of your grade). The tests are on a powerpoint he shows where you have 1 min to complete each question and you're not allowed to go back. Doesn't explain well either so you have to teach yourself all of the material.

He is one of the best teacher I had. He used various methods to teach the class, but most of all is love for teaching was contagious. In this class I felt I could show what I truly learnt compared to classes where the focus is on exams, which is not representative and only demonstrate our capacity to memorize.
