Reviews of professor Mark Guthner

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Difficult exams with little to no review material for fixed income. Nice guy, pretty boring just reading off the slides. Exam averages around 60%. Has a lot of experience with bond trading so ask questions and he can help/give examples. No homework, credit for attendance/participation, Bloomberg training is helpful. One group project.

He does not want you to get a good grade in his class even writes in his syllabus "No one will get higher than a B" his exam averages were in the 30-50s so take that as you will. He makes the exam open-ended and expects you to finish 40 questions with multiple steps (have to show work as well) in an hour.

you learn nothing during lectures, ZERO application of what was went over in the lectures

Took Professor Guthner for Corp Fin. Do the readings and homework BEFORE you go to class. Participate and ask questions. Smart and caring guy that will give you answers if you ask. For exams - know the homework and test review questions like the back of your hand. Do some textbook problems. Multiple choice is a breeze if you read the book.

if you wanna learn about finance, don't take this class. average on our midterm was a 54. He periodically gives in class exercises without warning and his lectures are him just talking about nonsense. If you participate a lot he gives you points for it and part of your grade is based off of your performance in a stock market simulation. Stay away.

Really interesting and fun lectures about Corporate finance. Really enjoyed talking to him in and out of class. Really great advice as well.

Overall kinda liked the guy and how he taught, but ultimately it's insanely hard to get higher than a B. Averages on the exams are between 40-50 on every test and there's no great way to really study for his exams. Be prepared to study for everything.

The exam is too difficult, too horrible, and almost has no relevance to quizzes. If you have more than one choices, just run away from this professor.

Literally does not want you to pass. He goes out of. his way to make the class a living hell for his students. He expects everyone in the class to be a finance major when the class is LITERALLY for NON FINANCE MAJORS. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Friendly and inspirational. Enjoyed getting bites of his experience of Investment Banking.
