Reviews of professor Alan Thometz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Alan is very interested in getting you to learn and think about Finance. The coursework (homework, tests, grades) is part of that but less important. Project requirements are a little vague and grades are slow to get posted. I learned a lot in this class. It helps if you are comfortable with Excel going in.

Alan is a tough professor. I'm a finance major and his homework assignments and cases were extremely difficult to work through. He also cold calls very often and expects everyone to know a lot about finance overall.

Let me save you some time. I have taken two courses with Alan (not my choice). Alan flies through lectures acting like you're incompetent if you cannot understand what he is talking about. If you ask him to clarify he will seem insulted and frustrated. Gives no guidance for quizzes or exams. I never rate profs, but this guy is a hard pass.

My favorite professor from I-Core. Very interesting guy to talk to and he clearly knows his stuff. That being said I am a finance major and I do know people were complaining about the difficulty of the class. If you are not a finance major you may not like this class very much.

Very challenging class. Such a nice guy & great guy to talk to about his life experiences and the financial world. But as a non-finance major, I struggled A LOT. He expected his students to know a lot more coming into the class than we did. Writes all over the board in scribbled hand writing which is hard to follow. Not clear grading standards.

Makes you work for everything.
Hey why are all these reviews from affluent, hyper-connected Carlson Zoomer STudents so negative? It's almost as if you had to put in the sweat effort and were brought down to an even level when you--OOHHH, thaaaaat's why
Stay away if you won't put in a sh&& load of effort but if you want to deepdive FInc he's awesome
