Reviews of professor Hamed Ghanbari

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This guy was so brutal to have a class with. No clear guidelines or expectations on projects. Due dates with no submission actually due. Surprise projects due in a week. Some waited over a week for a response via email. Massive group project using un-applied theory, but expected to know how to apply it. 
Overall, nice guy, horrible at communication

Do the readings, practice questions, and pay attention during lecture and youll do fine. His assignments could have used a bit more instruction, but he was easily available over zoom to help. Lectures were recorded and posted on moodle, so that offered some flexibility if youre working or have kids.

Hamed gets a lot of bad publicity for no reason. He explains concepts clearly and provides a large amount of practice problems and end of chapter problems to prepare you for the tests. He is extremely fair and accomodating and I would highly recommend him, I had him for corporate finance and derivative securities markets and wish there was more.

Boring and confusing lectures. He didn't make anything due for the first two months and then sprung everything on us in the last month. No joke had three big assignments due in one week with him that we just recently were showed how to do and given. Extremely unhelpful and the group project has no clear explanation on how to do any of it.

Straight forward as long as doing assigned end of chapter questions weekly. Quizzes were helpful!

He is boring and shows little passion about the topic. Get ready to study on your own because he is not so helpful. Makes the topic complex and can't really explain well.

Hamed is the best kind of professor one could hope to have in corporate finance. Three tests, three quizzes, and three mini projects. Each chapter is given very clear instruction alongside examples he makes easy to follow. At the end of each chapter he gives practice questions which I recommend doing as they are the same problems on the quizzes.
