Reviews of professor Mohamed Al Guindy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is an amazing professor. The slides cover the content quite well and you will barely need the textbook (Chapter 13 only). He conducts class very professionally and puts a lot of effort in to make sure the content is understood. I highly recommend him as a professor.

He's a gem. Seriously. The class is always full, no one dares skip bc you fail if you skip. Worship his slides, print them out, take notes on them in class, re-do in class problems, do the textbook problems. No need to read any chapters - except ch13. You gotta study. Midterm is crazy hard. Still, I would take anything he taught in a heart beat.

Passionate about Finance, might seem intimidating at first but he's very chill and funny. If you skip you won't do too well, its a material heavy course. His class gave me crucial experience in using python for portfolio management and getting some first-hand experience in managing a real portfolio within the stock market. Overall great class.

Hands down best professor at Carleton. I was dreading taking finance but Prof Al Guindy made the class so fun. I looked forward to this class every week just because the lectures were so inspirational and he's so funny. He also gets bonus points for bringing us treats from his Dubai trip and making Shrek references  Kinda sad the class is over ngl

Upbeat, engaging lecturer, explains concepts well and is always willing to help students. The midterm was a lot more difficult than other sections. The Final was brutal, give yourself about 2-3 weeks to prepare. The questions assigned for homework are a joke and do not reflect the level of difficulty on the midterm or final.

Fun caring guy, this guy made me like finance so much that I picked it as a concentration. It ended up not being my calling, but he is so inspirational and makes the learning fun. He is very relatable and is able to form a human connection with his students.
