Reviews of professor Ryan Peckham

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He could have been a great professor, if he actually decided to teach what's on his slides. Often, we would spend about 30 minutes talking about the market, which didn't leave a lot of time to go over the content, so it was a lot of self-teaching. He does curve, and he is knowledgeable, but get ready to teach yourself all semester.

Peckham is a great option for FinMan. He has experience in the industry & provides a lot of useful real-world examples. The grade is pretty test-heavy (3 exams and a final), but they are very straightforward and if you study the PowerPoint you'll be good. His lectures are interesting and he really wants you to do well!

Peckham is a really good professor who cares about his students. Fin-man is a naturally hard class but he lectures and make sure people understand the material before giving tests. Tests are pretty heavily weighted but he writes them and doesn't throw any curveballs and is not trying to trick you. If you understand the material you will do well.

This guy is an A+. He is very fair grading and cares about student's success. He will help you get into investment business since it's mainly his thing. Trust me mates,if you are reading this because you are not sure to take him or not. GO TAKE HIM NOW

Financial management is a hard class I got an A in accounting and still ended this class with a B+. I would take another professor like Tom Seng because his tests are open note. Peckham is hard and does not curve. Test averages were normally 78-82 range. 80% test and 20% quizzes.

Most of the class we talk about the news if you want to learn in class that is not going to happen. You have to teach yourself everything in this class. My main issue with this class is the homework has almost nothing to do with the material we learn in class which in turn takes hours on hours and drops your grade.

Peckham has great enthusiasm and is a financial advisor as his other job. He knows real life applications and cares to teach about the stuff that matters not just what the textbook says. Only graded on 5 pop quizzes (which are passable) and 3 tests and the final. Tests are straight forward if you listen to lectures and do the homework (not graded).

Dr. Peckkham is one of the best option for Fin Mana. The class itself is already hard no matter who you take, but Dr. Peckham helps you learn the most practical stuff when it comes to investment and stock. He's very accessible and wants you to succeed in and out of class. Only grades are 4 exams (evenly graded) and quizzes (after every 4 chapters).

Super smart financial guy. The class lectures are very interesting but don't really help you on the tests. Does a stock Market game. Uses Pearson as a textbook which has impossible quizzes you have to take. Most interesting FinMan teacher but not the easiest.
