Reviews of professor Samuel Rosen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Tough Class. Went over the material very fast. I would recommend studying at alteast 5 days before the exam. Exams are brutal, so study.

If you want to pass the class, I suggest taking another professor because finance is already a hard topic. Tests were not relevant to the topics that were covered in class. study up.

I was about 5-6 weeks into this course and I've had to skip mostly all the classes due to his poor teaching skills. His notes are cryptic, poor, and hard to follow. He teaches fast and goes off-topic often. I had a 3.7 GPA and I struggled a ton. Choose different professors.

This class is not easy but he tries his best to make sure we are prepared for exams. Homeworks are easy A's and projects are not bad. Although he gave me fifty percent because he thought I didn't do the Excel sheet so ill be talking to the chair. Overall, decent guy, and the hardest part of the class is that the final is worth 35% of your grade.

Professor Rosen is one of the best professors, and he responded to all my course questions in detail! The final exam is a comprehensive test of what you have learned. You must take the time to prepare for it.

This class is just tough. Professor Rosen does his best, but the exams were just too difficult. Practice exams were nothing like the midterms, and the tests had material that was never covered in class. Homework was easy, as well as the modeling course. Corporate is one of the harder finance courses you will take, and its hard with any professor

This class isn't the easiest, but Rosen understands that and tries his best to help you out. He's super straightforward, makes the homework easy, tells you everything that's on the exam, and even gives practice exams with similar questions. Anybody in the comments who rated him badly just didn't study or didn't go to class

He's a great person and is knowledgeable in finance, but his class was a struggle. Exam problems were much harder compared to the ones we did in class & for homework. The final is 35% of grade as well, which I disliked. Also, he speaks very fast and goes over the powerpoints quickly before jumping on excel, and I'm always struggling to catch up.

Professor Rosen is a really friendly professor who knows his stuff. But, when it comes to actually teaching and learning from him it can be tough. I feel that many people underestimate the difficulty of this class. After taking securities, international and corporate, this is easily the hardest and you can't really effectively study for exams.
