Reviews of professor Victor Lyonnet

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Lyonnet is one of the best professors I have had at Ohio State. It is clear he cares about his students. Despite a thick French accent, he is very knowledgeable about corporate finance. The class is composed of a few cases, quizzes, and two exams. Overall, the class is very easy and I highly recommend Professor Lyonnet.

Victor is probably the nicest professor Ive ever had. His French accent is great and he cares about his students. Very responsive to emails. Class is very straightforward - study lecture slides and practice exams and you will be fine.

Prof. Lyonnet can seem intimidating at first, but is one of the nicest people in Fisher. The material can seem dense at first, but Lyonnet is always available and willing to help any students. Also, he gives out candy on the last day of class!

Worst professor I've ever had at Ohio State. He doesn't know how to explain concepts to us and he can't even teach the calculator applications that we need to know for exams. He has high expectations but isn't clear on them. I have to continually teach myself and reach out to other professors or the TA for help. Calls students lazy.

Victor clearly cares about students and understands corporate finance on his own, but he struggles to teach students anything. Makes you memorize 20+ formulas for the midterm AND final exams, half of which aren't even used. Class averages on the exams 75% and 63%, but weren't curved. He's a nice professor, but the course is incredibly unforgiving.

Hes a nice guy and I can tell he is trying his hardest to do a good job... but he made this class so much more difficult than it needed to be. Be ready to memorize 20+ formulas for the midterm and even more for the final and basically teach yourself :/
