Reviews of professor Simon Huang

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
3 Exams, lowest dropped, 10 homework lowest dropped. Teaches in python, very easy class overall.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
10 homeworks with the lowest dropped and 3 exams with the lowest dropped. The lectures can definitely get boring, but I just wasn't interested in python. The coding can get tricky if you're totally new to it like I was, but Professor Huang is always available for help. Overall, solid class, solid professor, and an easy A.

Very nice professor! Material isn't super dense, it goes surface-level on a lot of different topics. Read chapter *after* each lecture so you know what to prioritize (they're dense). Exams are straightforward & you get a cheat sheet. Hw each week takes about an hour on average. 3 exams, lowest dropped. Taking simultaneously with FIN304 is helpful!

Great professor and class. There are ten homework throughout the semester and three computer (but have to be in person for them) exams. The lowest exam is dropped. Take this class with him. Beware, you will need to learn a bit of Python, which is relatively easy as long as you do the homework and listen to him. He is very accessible.

This course is 100% python driven and the first half of the course is based on coding, which is not so bad because Simon really does a good job of teaching that. His lecture slides/notebooks are clear and easy to understand. All the exams(3 total & drop the lowest) are open everything(notes/google), an easy class if you put efforts!

Awesome professor. As someone who doesn't grasp the concepts of finance that easily, this class actually proved to be not that difficult. Prof. Huang will actually commit to helping you understand whatever you're stuck on. Very patient and knowledgeable professor.

Prof. Huang is a great guy. He really cares about his students and is an excellent teacher. The material is dense, but he is willing to answer questions in and outside of class.
