I loved taking this class with Steve! Great professor who cares about your learning and wants you to do well. He uses great examples to help you understand the material as well. This class was through zoom and there were about 80 people in the class, however, he gets to each questions people have quickly. He will work with you if struggle at all.

I would HIGHLY suggest that if you aren't interested in taking the CFP, DO NOT take his upper level classes. There's a LOT of studying, a LOT of exams/quizzes. BUT, Steve is super funny, and cares about his students. He's very open to feedback, and is willing to change up the semester to help better the students. It's just nitty gritty content.

In this class I had to work for my A, but it is do-able especially if you're typically an 'A' student. Although it is a time consuming class, EVERYONE should take this class with Yerkes. People complain frequently that they haven't learned 'real world' skills throughout their education. This class prepares you to manage your money! Thankful for it

Weekly timed quizzes online that are easy if you've done the reading/watched the videos. The content in this class is applicable in real life. He keeps your attention during lectures and cares about his students. There are 4 longer assignments throughout the class, but he gives you plenty of guidance and time to complete.

Knowledgeable about his subjects, keeps the lectures pretty entertaining and involving.

Steve is a great professor that ties in knowledge from his other career into his lectures and makes them very interesting. Steve is not the academic type and doesnt rely on financial theory but instead uses real world examples. I would take more classes with Steve in the future if I had the opportunity too.
