I advise against taking this professor unless you have a financial background. During office hours, he gives vague answers to questions and does not offer constructive feedback. He frequently suggests using Google and ChatGPT as primary teaching resources instead of teaching students the material. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Professor Brooks used Connect. The deadlines were clear and he was available for questions through email and office hours if you ever got confused. Be sure to take good notes since all the exams are open notes. He made announcements every week and there was 1 group data project. I highly recommend taking this course online with him!

Mixes Communication degree w/ Finance degree on proctor exams. Also does not want to help on study guide for exams as expects you to be a PhD student with the info. You can tell its easy & boring for him to teach us with this, but then makes it hard on the exam as with writing assignments. Does not like emails to him either. Must need great memory

One of the worst professors I have ever had. His unwillingness to help or give sufficient feedback made this class a living nightmare. I would advise everyone to stay far way from this professor unless you enjoy classes where you teach yourself everything, get no feedback, and still get blindsided my foreign material on exams.

Brooks is a horrible professor. If you want to feel like your small and want someone to exercise their 10+ years of finance knowledge over your head, then Brookes is your guy. If you don't want to feel inadequate then run, run to Prof. Cotten.
