Reviews of professor Samuel Dedio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is a great professor as far as knowledge is concerned and accommodating during hurricane Ian. I found the lectures hard to follow. We took a quiz every single week on new chapters, so it was difficult to keep up with the studying pace. I struggle with finance and accounting; I am not an accounting major. BIG HOMEWORK + TESTS EVERY WEEK.

He is a great professor I made the mistake of taking this course online so i recommend only taking it in person to get the most out of the course

He really helped me when I was struggling with the class. He puts more weight on homework so you don't instantly bomb the class when you fail a quiz. Connect practice quizzes aren't required, BUT YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY TAKE THEM. They help you prepare for the exams. Lectures are very interesting and full of stories and examples. 10/10 take again.

Dedio is amazing, The class is what is hard. He tries his best to make it easier. The homework is not too bad, but it does help with his 8 quizzes and even the final. As long as you know the homework and practice in smartbook you will get a B at least. He really cares about his students. There is no extra credit given though :(

Professor Dedio is a great professor he really breaks down business finance in a way that makes it easy to understand. He provides real life examples and he is a very understanding professor. Put the work in and you will pass!

I took Professor Dedio for FIN4514 Security Analysis, it was his first year teaching this course, and he was a great professor. He has a lot of real-world experience as a portfolio manager and is able to tie it into the lecture. The class is lecture heavy, the grade is made up of quizzes, exams, and projects. No homework.Very caring and supportive.

Attendance was not mandatory but the professor does create his own slides and he does a good lecture. He always will translate the text to a realistic example and his life experiences. The smartbooks, chapter reviews and practice problems through connect are not graded but would 100% use them to prepare for quizzes.

I took Professor Dedio last semester and really liked the class. One thing that I would say is that you HAVE to study outside class. Finance is hard, and you cant expect to soak up information by just being there. If you do the optional work provided and the graded HW, you can pass the class. He knows his stuff and will help you if you try.

Great professor, always available to help outside class. Its not an easy class, but if you put some effort and understand the homework, you will pass.
