Reviews of professor John Varvaris

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Varvaris isn't the most motivational or exciting lecturer at Towson, but he doesn't make learning the material too hard. He gives lots of online homework assignments that aren't too difficult but are pretty time consuming. Tests aren't too different from the homework, so if you do those on time, you should be fine.

Finance is a pretty hard class but Professor Varvaris did his best to make sure that everybody knew what was going on at all times. If you study for exams and prepare you will definitely pass. Hes a better option than alot of the other Finance profs.

I have background in math so I can somewhat keep up with his lectures, but RIP if u aren't strong in algebra. Literally SO test heavy, boring, doesn't explain, not helpful. best bet is to teach yourself w the online book

FIN 331 is a hard class. You have to understand the concepts and do a lot of exercises practice if you want to pass. His teaching is good and clear. He tells you everything you have to know for the exam and the projects (3) with guiding videos. He can guide you with the project if you ask him. Do well on the homework too using Chegg to help you. ;)

Professor Varvaris is a great teacher. I would recommend anyone to take him. He is straightforward with what will be on the exam and does a very good job with making the class enjoyable and connecting it to the real world. If you take the hybrid course, I strongly recommend at least skimming the textbook.

Professor Varvaris is a great guy overall. He makes class engaging and cares about his students. The content is a little tough but he explains it very well and gives extra credit. He is the best 331 professor by a long shot.

Really nice guy who cares about this students. In my opinion, one of the better options for teachers for 331. Everything was pretty straight forward. Its a tough class so you have to be willing to put in the work. Give study guides before exams
