Reviews of professor John Riccardi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I did not enjoy his class one bit. His lectures were extremely boring and were hard to stay engaged in for a four-hour period. He grades very harshly on group projects and individual work. The exams are tolerable if you put in the study time. I would find somebody else if you can.

As a finance major with lots of background experience, if you know your way around a financial statement already this class is a breeze. However, Riccardi is incompetent in many financial topics and doesnt always use the right terminology which confuses the non finance students a lot. I also find the class very boring with how slow he teaches.

Avoid him. Lectures are boring and make no sense. For the 4 hour class he would usually keep you for about 2-3 hours but it was painful.

I personally thought he was a good professor, its not really a difficult class, and he really tries to help you understand if you just ask. I think the grading is a little tough because 4 exams are worth a huge chunk of the grade. Other than that, 4/5. Also 4 hour class is usually 2 hours long so not bad.

He is a very sweet professor, he does get off track a lot which can be super frustrating. The work is all very clear and not difficult to do, the material may be difficult for some but he is more than happy to help, just be prepared to study for exams and pay attention in the lectures and read the slides. I would take him again

The material isn't hard or the assignments but the homework lectures are just over 45m each. I didn't watch the full lecture videos and he took points off even though I got good grades on homework and came to every class. He gave poor feedback when I asked questions and even directed me to Youtube to figure stuff out.

He is so nice and for his four hour class it never goes longer than two. The hw is kind of irrelevant, more of your grade comes from tests and projects. Projects are easy because hes a nice grader and the tests can be hard but he uses pretty much the exact same questions from the hw. Overall easiest economics class ive taken

Lecture heavy course, very simple and to the point. One homework assignment a week, 2 individual projects, one group project, 3 tests. Homework is easy and online, individual projects are simple, and tests are semi-difficult just study the lectures and your notes well, and group projects are easy. Very understanding and funny.

I could not understand finance with him and he also had "StockTrack" assignment which drives me crazy.I had to purchase this simulation and somehow manage how to use it having no clue how the stocks work, and it's NOT an INVESTMENT class!Tests are tough, lots of questions with not enough time. + to post about videos. Hw is different from the lectur
