Reviews of professor Joeseph Goebel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He lets us use our laptops for excel during the exam which is really helpful

Tests are impossible to predict, almost certain the whole class fails and the curve is massive. Just be smarter than the people around you and you'll be fine.

Terrible professor. Notes are absolutely useless, excel spreadsheets are somewhat useful, but structured in such a way that are confusing. Quizzes are worth almost nothing, tests are worth very few points but a huge percentage of your grade. If he does a lecture, it is full of tangents and minimal substance. His online videos do not make sense.

took him online during fall 2020 covid semester. did the bare minimum work and scraped by with an A-. If you put in some more work you could probably get an A. All tests and quizzes were open book/note. If I didn't have open book or note this class would be insanely difficult because his video lecture were not very good.

Joseph keeps his lectures interesting and teaches class material well. After he goes over book/exam material he shows real-life examples of jobs/duties of finance related professions. He answers relevant questions and allows class to collaborate on quizzes.

Goebel has the attention span of a toddler. Never kno if he's lecturing about class or off on one his trading failure stories. His notes are insanely unorganized. He puts math into Microsoft word and it's so messy you can't even go back later to try to understand it. When using excel all he does is point to the cell equation rather than explaining
