Reviews of professor Alexander Amati

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really appreciate that the professor took the time to go over tons of problems in class. Interesting use of realworld examples to explain concepts. I highly recommend. I will take his Global class this coming Spring.

Terrible Prof. gives no guidance on his simulations. Avoid him at all costs and save yourself the headache.

This teacher does not teach you. He tries to teach one equation but doesn't write it down at all only speaks. He expects you just know how to use the financial calculator and doesn't teach you that either. He just isn't a good professor. Makes funny jokes though that is.

Course content is relatively simple and Professor Amati is more than willing to go through it slowly to ensure his students' understanding of the material. He encourages group work and often gives the answers to the in-class quizzes if asked. Easy A if you pay attention, read the textbook, do the homework, and take your time on the quizzes.

Incomprehensible lectures, constantly bumbling around in the wrong file- will spend half a lecture talking about how finance interviews require you to be able to code despite being incapable of using technology himself. Will bumble around for an entire lecture, and then tell everybody to use Copilot to learn everything he's missed.

Amati's not the best at explaining topics, and his lecture notes aren't clear. Most times I had to teach myself, but he fortunately didn't make the class too complicated. The only exam is the final worth 50%, but he offered it as a group final. About 4 HW assignments based on lecture material which weren't too hard.

This class was kind of all over the place with Professor Amati. I did not understand what we were learning about the majority of the semester. We had one exam which was the final and was worth 50% of your grade. The whole semester we worked in groups so we asked him if we could take the final in groups and he said yes. That is why I gave him a 4.

You need to show up to every single class since pop quizzes are 50% of your grade. Pick good people to sit with because pop quizzes are done in groups. His lecture is kinda hard to understand but he wants you to do good in his class.

This class is the embodiment of a nightmare. His lectures were unclear, unrelated to exam material, and he yells when students ask questions. Only way you could learn was through very long Connect practice sets. I have never felt more stress for any class before his. Only gave him a 2 since he replaces your exam grade if you do better on the next.

As long as you show up to class and pay attention, you'll get an A. No homework or exams, grades are completely based off in - class assignments.
