Reviews of professor John Welsh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Just a good professor, plain and simple. He responds to emails with questions about the homework, if a bit slowly. He makes class engaging and is happy to answer questions and have a discussion. Class was interesting and not too hard, but not so easy it was boring. He is also very open to feedback. He even decided to change a project next semester.

Took him for ENT 5508, super chill guy. There are weekly homework assignments, as well as quizzes over readings. You do have to dedicate about 1-2 hours outside of class to do group work. There is in-class participation for group work as well so prepare to speak. Otherwise, the class is very straightforward and should be an easy A.

Welsh teaches the concepts so everyone can understand them. He has 6 individual projects that you complete with excel. If you don't get full credit first time you submit an assignment he lets you fix the mistake and turn it in for full credit. Overall, great professor that actually teaches you the material and doesn't just read off the power point.

Easily one of my favorite professors at UMKC. The class consists of 3 tests and around 10 projects. Worksheets ahead of the test accurately prepare you for the exams and he truly knows the material, cares about the students, and is incredibly engaging in the lecture. He also welcomes questions and wants students to succeed.

The best finance professor at UMKC. Interesting lectures and projects that related to the material. He provided nearly everything needed for each project and exam either in class or in a pre-recorded video. Really just wants you to learn. Don't bother renting the textbook though - it's unnecessary.

Great professor, lectures are interesting and helpful. There was no homework besides a couple of projects. Gives great prep for the exams. Would highly recommend.

This course was highly anticipated but a sincere disappointment. I realize this professor has a few great reviews, but I suppose these are students who already have their financial credentials. I am an A student, and yes, I got an A in his course, but I taught myself and ended up paying for a tutor because he was too busy to help. Good luck.

Great professor. He is so knowledgeable about what he teaches and he is also passionate. He is always willing to help his students as he wants to make sure you actually understand. He prepares you for the test and allows a formula sheet. Attendance isn't mandatory however his lectures are actually interesting.

One of my favorite professors at UMKC. He is always helpful and is very nice. His lectures are interesting and I recommend coming to class even though attendance isn't required. First test was hard but it gets much easier after that.
