Reviews of professor Edward Pierzak

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
By far the worst professor I have taken at state. Impossible exams with no help or feedback. He is extremely cold and expects his students to already know everything he is talking about. When students ask for help he says to read the textbook. Only passed class because of large curve, received in the 40- 65 range on all exams and passed with C

Death by powerpoint. I think he's the only one who teaches this class. 1st exam average was 40%. 2nd exam average was 60%. Expects you to know a bunch of calculations from multiple excel documents. Tests are hard af. The only extra credit available are like these excel classes that last like 8 hours long. LOL

The course was rigorous but he does a great job teaching the material. He outlines the textbook in class but expects you to read it beforehand. All of the information is relevant if you are pursuing a career involving real estate investment analysis. He is extremely helpful if you ask for guidance and offers great industry connections. 11/10 stars

Pierzak seems like a good guy, an industry professional but a rookie professor. The class is relentlessly difficult. Lectures are powerpoint though a lot of class time is spent looking at excel sheets that you'll have to figure out how to reverse-engineer using your calculator on the extremely difficult tests. You get no notes for tests either.
