Reviews of professor Jeff Bailey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Absolutely love this guy. One of my top favorite professors at Carlson. Jeff can be a little bit scary at first, but he's honestly really hilarious and truly cares about his students. FINA 4422 isn't too hard at all and I really liked the structure of the class with the ICAs and homeworks. You're allowed to work with others on it which helps.

This class was very useful and I encourage everyone to take it. As one of my first classes at the U, I struggled with it because I missed a few assignments, and since there aren't that many it hurt my grade (no late work). Because of that the class was stressful for me, but if you're organized you'll be fine. Good teacher, good TA, great content.

Bad Teacher, Bad guy. Had no interest in accommodating students with anxiety during the pandemic. Asked for permission to watch the lectures on my own time because he went so fast I couldn't take notes and didn't even respond to my request. Pathetic representation of the Carlson School. Students stay away.

Great dude. Gets straight to the point and is willing to help both inside and outside of class if needed. Class is tough for someone who is inexperienced in excel, but rewarding if you put in time to understand the concepts. I enjoyed it. My TA Matt was also very helpful and accessible. Best experience I've had at the U so far!

This wasn't the easiest class ever, but definitely possible to get an A. The ideas are understandable and if you have questions he was always available before class. He goes through the in-class assignments fully during class and always makes sure everyone gets their questions answered. The midterm is easy, but the final is HARD.

Uses videos outside of class to teach, and goes over content in class. Showing up for class helps a lot, as he is great at answering questions. Midterm and Final made up 75% of grade total so make sure to study for those.

He was constantly behind on his lecture slides, which led him to push back the midterm exam almost 3 different times. Even with these last-minute changes, he was not at all accommodating to how it may affect pre-existing travel plans for holidays. Every interaction I had with him was very condescending and not conducive to learning.
