Reviews of professor John Connaughton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Professor Connaughton for FI402 in his first ever semester teaching. He is incredibly smart and really cares about the success of each student. He can answer any question conceivable because he actually worked in the field. I went out of my way to write this review because I truly believe in him and want him to get some recognition!

Class is super interesting and Connaughton does a good job of explaining how things come up in the real world. There's no textbook, all slide decks that get put online. Provides good feedback and grades based on understanding, not correct/incorrect. Good guy who is really knowledgeable. Easy 3.3+

Great class and great professor. While some lectures can get a little boring, Connaughton knows his stuff inside and out. Exams are all open book, and one group project. I learned so much in this class and would 100% recommend. FYI, on some Bentley sites he is listed as John and some Kevin. Its the same guy, he just goes by his middle name.

Lectures can drag on but he explains everything very thoroughly and clearly. Exams are easy enough - open notes, and predictable Excel problems (he uploads practice Excel sheets so nothing unexpected). Gave lots of feedback during group project process and made the project a lot more bearable. Overall really kind and smart guy, highly recommend!

Why does every review on every finance professor sound exactly the same. Who is Bentley hiring to do this. Is it you kartik?
