Reviews of professor Stuart Webb

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He provides lots of online materials!

 I missed 2 tests due to illness/medical concerns; both times he was unbelievably accommodating and understanding. You can tell he really does care about the students.

 I also found his dry humor during lectures entertaining! Be sure to focus on the lectures; otherwise, say bye to the A.

Professor Webb is a one of a kind Professor at Carlson. He is very approachable when we want to ask questions. He also gave really simplified explanation on complex topics, which makes us easier to understand. He is more like a friend than a teacher! I absolutely enjoyed the class.

Stuart Webb is a phenomenal and hilarious professor. He adapted well to teaching remotely during COVID-19 and provided ample opportunity to learn the content (HW, quizzes, etc). Make sure to attend his scheduled office hours as the class is 'flipped' (crucial). If you learn the intuition he harps on about, you'll have yourself an easy A.

Professor Webb's Fixed Income and Securities course is excellent! The exams are very fair and the weight of the grades are distributed throughout exams, quizzes, assignments, etc. Stuart gives very clear lectures and the material is presented in such a way that it is easy to understand. Additionally, Stuart is an awesome guy!

Stuart runs nice and relaxed courses. The material is clear, and although you may have to learn some on your own, it should not be too bad. He is a funny guy who you can tell really wants the best for his students. I honestly do not know where the bad reviews come from. This is my last semester and Webb is a top 3 professor I have had at the U.

Sabotages students by refusing to give finance tutors in-class problems and HW solutions. Only professor who didn't allow excel on midterm #2. Goes over new concepts the same day HW is due. Constantly shows incorrect work and solutions with in-class examples. Conceptual questions on tests are not included in lecture slides or discussed in class.

I've taken Stuart for two finance classes and enjoyed both of them. His online video lectures are fairly long so be prepared for those, but I found the HW and Quizzes to be good preparation for the exams so it was fairly easy to study. He's also a fair grader on the exams.

Nice guy, terrible teacher. The slides posted that have the lecture material don't actually explain anything, so you have to either rewatch every lecture video (which with his style of lecturing, doesn't help much) or just hope to figure things out on your own. Examples shown in class barely relate to those on quizzes.

Options and derivatives is HARD, the class is designed very well grading-wise wise but the tests are tough and you have to prepare well. Attendance was not mandatory which was a huge plus.
