I loved his class

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Richey's class is a bit all over the place. Additional resources clutter the canvas space. Homework, as well as group assignments, are thrown onto students with little instruction on how to complete them. A lot of learning must be done on your own for this class. His exams allow for 1 page of paper as a cheat sheet and a fin calc though.

His lectures are confusing and not really helpful. HW questions are not able to be solved based on his lectures. If you want to get a good grade on your tests, you will need to read the whole textbook to answer the word problems. Although get an A in this class, I don't feel that I learned anything.

Was taking online and dropped the last day of the drop deadline bc his class is so poorly taught. Typos in quizzes & homework, and you're expected to understand all the concepts by watching his lectures. Says reading the textbook is 'optional', but if you are taking this class, read textbook before watching lectures because he's not a good teacher

Professor Todd Richey is very knowledgeable in his expertise in FINance. His project gave us an opportunity to create amazing portfolio to invest and to be very analytical. His integration of Piazza was very helpful to my understanding of the course where he will upload videos regarding extra tips. Would definitely circle back to his class.

This professor throws students into assignments without actually teaching anything. There was a few individual assignments and a few group assignments and all of them were winged. I think if you had some prior knowledge on finance before taking this class it'd be better. Dude definitely gives finance bro vibes tho, which was kinda fun ig.

The course is difficult especially if finance is not one of your interests/strengths. He explains the math-related concepts well in his examples, but it's hard to understand the wordier concepts. He uses Piazza to communicate, which he responds in a timely manner. For the final project, you can choose your group members & also get to evaluate them.

Hard understanding what he is saying when he talks. Basically, something that can be explained very simply will come out quite complicated and you will have to work out what he is saying. On top of that, he says textbook reading is not required, but tests will have questions based on it. His quizzes have material not in lecture or textbook.

Great professor. He gave a lot of extra credit, 2% for evaluation, 5% for calculating NPV or valuation, and 2% for  late warp up assignments. However, his lectures were not the best, some of the content was old and confusing. He doesn't explain in depth how to use formulas and financial calculators, so read the textbook and watch Youtube videos!
