Reviews of professor Jack Bao

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Extremely hard that I would have enjoyed it if he was a better professor. I know the majority of the class had to watch youtube videos to prepare for the final.

Professor Bao has exams worth 70% of yourr total grade making it incredibly hard to do well in this class if you do badly on one exam. Would not recommend taking this teacher for a challenging course like investments.

One of my favorite professors I've had. He genuinely cares about each of his students and will provide any help needed. Lets you choose if you want to do more assignments so exams count less, or attendance doesnt count/less assignments/exams worth more. His lectures are fast, but super informational. attendance essentially mandatory to do well

Great Professor, funny guy. Only thing I would warn about is that this isn't one of those classes where you can miss a few lectures and be fine. You gotta go to the lectures and be locked in if you want an A. If math and finance isn't your strong suit then don't even think about taking this class because the final exam will brutally pound you.

Professor Bao is a great guy. The course is overwhelming at first but he really wants everyone to do well. He makes an effort to get to know his students and is extremely helpful if you go to office hours. He uses a few different scales to weight his assignments and picks the one that gives you the highest final grade. Make sure you go to class.

Attendance is not mandatory but HIGHLY encouraged. Reading the PowerPoints at home proves to be rather difficult - not recommended at all. Dont wait last minute to do the homework. Get started ASAP. He is very responsive with his emails so if you have questions, he usually responds within two hours.

The course is really easy and the concepts are not that hard at all. He gives lectures in a way that makes everything easy to understand. He should consider posting lecture videos though. I guarantee averages would shoot way up if he did that.
