Reviews of professor John Varvaris

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a nice guy and I like him as a person but doesn't know how to teach the material where students can understand. He gives assignments that can help raise your grade though. Go to class and do well on the homework and you will be fine.

(online b/c of covid)John isn't as bad as his ratings say, he's actually a good teacher and explains concepts well.. it's just his delivery can be a little monotone. He tries to interact with the class but most people don't interact back which doesn't help. FIN331 is hard regardless but if you need help he's happy to go over things with you. Tests

Pretty good professor. Material is hard but he really do try to explain the materials. Extra credit and curves are a blessing from him.

He's nice, but does not explain concepts as well as he thinks. You will be teaching yourself in this class.

He is nice and understanding. The material is difficult, but he is willing to help if you ask questions and will go over the homework questions in class. Going to tutoring helped immensely.

Professor Varvaris was awesome! His class covers a tough subject, which is why I think his rating isn't higher. If you read the text, do the homework, and pay attention in class, it is not at all difficult to do well and pass. His lectures make all of the concepts make sense, & if you pay attention and participate he's more than happy to help you.

He is such a caring professor! You can tell he wants you to do well in his class but you do have to work hard, the exams are hard but if you attend every class they are just like his examples. If you have to take FIN 331 take it with him!!!

The lectures can be kinda tough to sit through because the material is kind of dry but Prof Varvaris does his best to keep you engaged and provide real world examples. Weekly wiley hw's that you have to spend a good amount of time doing but there are multiple attempts. Make sure to study hard for exams especially the cumulative final.

He is a good guy, but his lectures do not make much sense. He will start going over concepts as if we already know them, so it isn't really useful unless you already taught yourself that concept. His tests aren't terribly hard if you do the homework and understand it. I always found his tests to be way easier than the homework.

Good professor, but class is hard. He tries to simplify the class and subject and wants you to do well. MWF classes don't have class on Friday, but you have an exit ticket, which isn't bad. Tests are complex, but if you study, you should do well.

Finance is not an easy class at all. Professor Varvaris does a great job at explaining the material well and tells you exactly what will be on the exam. If you put in the work and ask the right questions, The class won't be as difficult. I highly recommend him.
