Reviews of professor Robert Harrity

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tests are the hardest tests I have ever taken but he gets them from the answer book so look for online examples! He curves a lot but will only give out 5 A's. The entire class basically ended in a 89. I got an 89.8 and he wouldn't round up. He's very intimidating but overall I liked him as a person.

This professor lectures on and on, he doesn't actually explain anything and I haven't truly learned anything about finance. The tests are very hard but he does seem to scale them, and there is a big final paper. Any other finance teacher would be better. Do not recommend

I was interested in finance until this class. He was extremely rude and takes the class in other directions instead of just teaching. Have this as your backup backup

I don't know why Prof Harrity gets such bad reviews. He's a good guy, and I've learned a lot in class this semester. His exams were easy, homework has been easy. The only thing is he will cold call sometimes, and he will get mad if you don't do the homework. He also doesn't allow technology. I would definitely take him for Intro to Finance.

Professor Harrity is a good professor for intro to Finance. His lectures are very slow but if you do all the homework's and do the practice tests on Pearson you will succeed. 3 tests and 1 group paper. Will often go off on random unrelated tangents for the first 15 minutes of class. Overall easy and take him.

Harrity is OK. He has a tendency to go on 30-40 minute tangents in class which tend to drag when the class is an 8am. He'll either go through the powerpoints thoroughly or breeze through them, but they're on blackboard so you can look at them whenever you want. Tests aren't overwhelming, but if you put effort in you will do well.

Prof. Harrity was an okay teacher. I respect his knowledge and experience in the finance world but he has a history of not saying the nicest things and tends to lead the class on 30 minute tangents about political/ social issues. Also likes to cold call and is homework heavy. If this is not your thing I would recommend looking elsewhere.

If you take him get ready to learn nothing. Starts class of with quotes that take 30 minutes to explain. Doesnt believe in the vaccine or climate change. Told me women dont know how to drive cars. Goes in crazy tangents and will call on you to answer questions he assigns for homework if you are frequently absent. Overall youll pass, he curves

Professor Harrity is a good guy and wants you to do well but sometimes will just come off in a weird way. You have to go to class and if you miss one class he will cold call on you to make sure you know the material. The workload is manageable, but if you try and do the work, you will be fine.
