Reviews of professor Jeff Bailey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Jeff is super nice and explains things clearly. He doesnt take attendance but if you skip you wont know how to do the in class assignments. Make sure to study for the midterm and final. The final wasnt as hard as the other reviews make it seem, it was midterm-level easy. This is a super useful class and hes very knowledgeable! Would take again!

I've been lucky to have Jeff for three classes since I've been in Carlson. He's very good at informing students about what is expected of them, his lectures are very useful (but not long winded), and he's very helpful and detailed when it comes to answering questions. Best professor I've had so far.

I thought Jeff was great & the class is one of the most useful ones you will ever take at Carlson. He is definitely not your garden-variety Professor, which is probably a plus for a class like modeling. But he taught everything clearly & gave you plenty of resources to do well. Quizzes were a little tough, but he does grade reasonably.

Jeff is a solid professor with a lot really good knowledge in the realm of investment finance. His homework can be a little challenging but he is extremely helpful if you go to his office hours.

Jeff is very kind, helpful, and understanding. He was super understanding when my computer blew up in my face during a midterm and was able to offer a retake. I would definitely reccommend Jeff if you get a chance.

Jeff is overall a really good professor. He can give tough love at some points, but it's only because he cares that his students learn the material. He gives very clear instructions and paying attention to lectures is a MUST to pass. Overall, he was very helpful the entire semester and I really enjoyed his class.

I thought this was a very useful course and Jeff was a good professor. There's an in-class assignment each class, but as long as you show up and do it you will get full credit. The final and midterm are worth 75% of your grade, but are very easy if you understand the material. Watch the videos and show up to class and you'll get an A.

Professor Bailey is the absolute man. After having him for BA 1001, I intentionally delayed taking 4422 and 4321 so I could take it with him in my final 2 semesters at CSOM. Impressive real-world experience, is always willing to go the extra mile to help if you need it, and is overall just a really awesome guy and Professor. Highly recommend!

I had Jeff for both BA 1001 & FINA 4422. He had a very accomplished career with Target, so it was cool to hear about how he used the BA 1001 Excel skills at his job. However, when it came to modeling, it seemed like he only taught us to look at business problems from this rather narrow perspective, which made the class pretty boring & frustrating.
