Reviews of professor Gerard Ortiz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't understand why this teacher is a favorite. The class is VERY lecture heavy, and it's mostly done in a monotone voice. Homework is an easy A but the tests are HARD. Be prepared to take a lot of notes and sit through an old school style class. The dude is nice, but definitely not someone I'd recommend for this class.

Arguably the most difficult ASM core class, but Ortiz gives good lectures. He does lots of examples which are often on exams, and gets you familiar with the calculator. If you visit office hours and visit the finance tutors, you should pass.

Here's a professor who one can tell genuinely cares about his students and has passion for his job. However, his lectures did not prepare me for the tests (nor the 50% of the homework), and the exams were so hard I couldn't finish some of them on time.

amazing amazing amazing! best finance professor out there and advocates for student to use learning lab to prepare for exams and assignments.exams were ez for most part with a few hard ones but super duper easy to get Bs and Cs on in my opinion. Homework sucked tho it was long and not very interesting lol.

Prof. Ortiz is easily one of the best professors at UNM. He is extremely knowledgeable in the subject. Class is pretty difficult but his lectures are very useful. Exam problems come straight from HW problems. Exam reviews in the finance lab are extremely important and beneficial. Great class and a great professor.
