Reviews of professor Raymond Weicker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Weicker has good energy. He is a very fair grader (publishes stats for every exam) and cares about students. Holds review sessions and took the time to work through every quiz and exam problem and show solutions. He didn't require attendance, but should. Students who missed classes slowed down everything when it came time for review.

This was my 2nd time taking Ray for class. Great professor. Wants all his students to learn and understand concepts. He's very easy going. 1 downfall is class is graded on midterm, final & participation. Take notes during class and review slides. No reason not to get an A/B in this class.

There are two exams (his) and a department final. His two exams are much harder than the final, but the final counts for more. 20% of your grade comes from quizzes and you get unlimited retries to get a perfect score. You see these same problems on exams. The professor spent the time and showed us everything needed to do well.

He gives us a lot of real estate terms and legal terms no papers to write , just a few projects. Overall good professor, he knows his stuff.

I'm not in finance, but this isn't a tough class if you attend, do the quizzes and a few practice problems before the exams. You need to know week 1 to understand week 2 material, and week 2 for week 3, etc., so if you fall behind you can get lost easily. 75% of grade comes from exams.

Doesn't really show you how to get some answers just goes over quizzes but the class is graded on 9 quizzes that you can take until your happy with your grade and 3 exams as well as bloomberg. Fair prof.

This was my second class with Prof. Weicker and I'll take another if I get the chance. The subject isn't easy but he took the time to make sure to cover everything we saw on any exams and reviewed every quiz in class. I'm not a math person but he stayed after class to go over problems and gave extra credit so I did better than I expected.

Great Professor, very knowledgeable. You get money's worth as long as you put equal effort.

I screwed up my 1st exam and was going to drop but talked to Professor W. He said just read the chapter and do the practice problems and quizzes he posts. Pulled my average up to an 80 and got a B+. This is the only finance class I had to take but might look for him for an elective later.

His real estate finance course was probably the most useful class I took in 4 years. Professor is very knowledgeable and pretty laid back. He explained the process and terminology and showed how to make models in Excel. Graded projects are useful (rent/buy/invest decisions).
