Reviews of professor Mark Greenough

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I'm taking his class right now and it's only the 4th week. I don't recommend this class. He expects you to read the chapter and do a graded quiz before the lecture on that chapter. like he doesn't teach at all and just goes through the chapter. you cant ask questions on the chapter until you've already probably failed the quiz.

Overall not a bad Professor. The grading criteria for assignments isn't clear so there were times when you had no idea how to complete an assignment even after his lecture so you would rely on the TA's help. Excel heavy. Adjusts teaching schedule based on class progress/results if we need more help on a certain topic.Allowed 1 cheat sheet for final

This is one of the most difficult classes I've ever taken. His homework is worth a lot and he grades based on correctness rather than completeness. His lectures and study guides are both extremely vague and disorganized. I would not recommend taking him for the class.

Extremely difficult to learn the way he gives lectures.

I gottay say 1 thing: most people that complain about this class on my discord never show up to class.He is a hilarious professor who stays pretty up to date about current finance trend and educate students about it. His homework and tests are on a bit hard. He is very reachable outside of class. Take it if you want to learn the most about finance

Greenough knows finance for sure, too bad he has no idea of how to teach it! Doesnt explain anything, just wants to throw you in the deep end of the pool and says, SWIM! He just likes talking and showing off, doesnt care about your success. Literally sets you up to fail. Stay away if you can!

HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TEACH! This class has been so stressful and hell for me. He doesn't go into depth and explain anything in the lecture. He uses very heavy finance terminology in the lectures that are hard to understand and I remember that I could understand better reading from the book and using google than his lectures.

This Professor knows what he is talking about, but as an entry level course it is not taught like such. You cover a chapter per class period and he fails to explain concepts and problem progression for students taking their first finance class. The average test score is 60-70% range. Homework is also graded on correctness.

A lot of student hate on prof but i could tell a lot of them don't even show up to class. His test and homework are challenging but it would def gets you ready for the field of finance. 1 more positive, he is very reachable outside of class when it comes to homework and groupwork. Consider taking his class if you want to learn a lot about finance.
