Reviews of professor Martin Hanby

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Awful class. Worst class I've taken. None of the questions from the homework are on the test. Tests are worth most of your grade so good luck on that. Barely any communication with class.

3 exams, 3 small essays and an optional final exam. He will email you back usually the next day, you will need a calculator + access to a printer for the tax return rates. I didn't like his videos, they were way too quiet and his way of writing also had me puzzled at some moments. The math threw me all off and I had to learn from YouTube.

Took this Professor for FIN 3301 over summer. Very little feedback/ communication. Once didn't send out the answers for the HW so we could check before test. Lots of homework for very little points. Syllabus was condescending. Would suggest reading whole book since tests are not just the hw. Seems full of himself. Good luck.

There is an optional final exam to take that goes over all concepts within the class. If you inform him that you are taking that exam and do not do it, it will be a zero for a grade. The assignments are very straight forward and are designed to have you think about your finances and your financial future.

All test are proctor. You have to download a program and they watch you through your webcam. You have to answer first 10 questions of each chapter, plus additional problems for homework. Instead of those questions he should assign more problems to practice for the test. The test has a lot of problems to solve.

It is extremely difficult to follow any of his verbal instructions and his lecture videos are useless, you will be less confused and learn more if you only read the textbook. You are required to use a specialized calculator which was made obsolete by Excel in 1999, like his teaching methods; which are not well suited for online courses.

Easy class if you just do the work.  3 small written assignments and 3 tests with an optional final that would take the place of your lowest test grade.  Gives extra credit on the written assignments if you go above and beyond the requirements and gives an extra credit problem on each test.  Watch/attend the review session the day before the test.
