Reviews of professor Brian Dies

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is a TERRIBLE professor. Instead of teaching concepts he would say "you should remember this from "tax accounting". Which is not a pre req for the class. To all the students falling behind he didnt offer to help them but stated students needed to "hurry up and learn before they fall behind" Has ZERO clue. Half the class dropped class #3.

Ridiculous amount of work! 8 cases plus a final. Cases took a minimum of 10 hours a week. 4 cases plus the final due in the last 6 weeks. Grading criteria is vague at best. When questioned he just says don't worry. RUN! AWAY! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Suplimental reading given week they are due. Average 75 pages of financial text per week.

Great professor! Valuation is not a class you should take early in your educational journey. Brian (+Chris) broke down the topics into manageable chunks and explained each component well, with matching assignments. They were also available during office hours and outside to answer questions. It was a tough class, but one of my favorites at Harvard.

Prof Dies and Chris Debaere team teaches this course and they are both absolutely fantastic!!!! wealth of knowledge and incredible attention to details. Absolutely engaging class format. Great personalities who enjoy student questions and don't shy away from complexities. I would take this course with these two professors over again if i could!
