Reviews of professor Michael Page

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The final is worth 50% of the grade, like what??. People here say his stories are fun but to me they just slowed the class down even more and made keeping up even more confusing. Expects you to do a worksheet before every class that he doesnt post the answers until after, so you cannot be sure if you even understood properly.

I like this dude because unlike alok nemani, he doesnt bully his students or rate himself. An actually sane dude who knows how to teach! Take him you wont regret it!

I got a 100% in the midterm and an 89% in the final with good grades in the group projects and the quizzes, but I did not attend 4 classes because I could not and he took 4% of my grade. My grade went down from an A- to a B just because of this. Do not take him. Lectures are so long and the exams have thirty problems.

Two exams and a final. All questions are weighted evenly so missing one question will not hurt. There are three projects which are easy. About 50% of the class gets a B+ or higher. Very helpful outside of class. He is willing to explain everything in great detail and make new examples to help you understand.

If you didnt completely master GB212, or if you're not amazing at finance already, dont take him. If you're super smart hes great, but he gives us absurdly hard homework the textbook doesnt explain (and neither does he most the time). I never understood the fundamentals so I couldn't take advantage of his teaching style.

One of the best professors I have had a Bentley. He clearly cares about his students and if you care and pay attention during class there is no doubt you will do well. He gives a lot of partial credit on the two exams and the group projects are not graded on whether you got the right number but instead if your reasoning can be justified.

A very smart and approachable guy, but his exams are extremely difficult, questions are worded so differently from review questions. All paper exams and 0 use of Excel. Opposite of an easy A. Most of the class is bullet point lectures and figuring out how to do the work on your own. If you don't understand something, go to him IMMEDIATELY.

Knows what he's talking about. Terrible at explaining it. Teaches in Excel (goes through it really quickly too), but tests are on paper - they are all formulas and financial calculator, so all the Excel work in class is completely useless. Super hard to pay attention in class - talks slowly and tells tons of personal stories that just don't matter.

Hated this class. The tests are long and hard and the group projects barely relate to what's taught in class, making them impossible to do. Very challenging course. Also, his slides aren't the best. In a class where no one reads the textbook, this is a necessity. Gives no extra credit assignments. He is available outside class though.
