Reviews of professor Daniel Kapusta

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The class is made up of three exams (no cumulative final), weekly vocab quizzes and chapter reflections. There is also a partner stock report project that is broken into 2 parts that isn't bad at all. The homework's are meant to be grade boosters and are not difficult whatsoever. He is very reasonable & provides equation sheets for exams.

He is a good teacher. You have a vocab quiz each week. You must read the textbook each week and prepare before class. There is one big paper that you work on with a partner which helps grade. 3 exams, no final. If you put the work in you'll do good. Gives equations for exam. I would take again he is very knowledgeable

He's great. He does spend a lot of time talking about the Davis Center but he is an excellent professor. He has favorites, but if you participate, you will love this dude. Not an easy A but I loved being in his class. 5/5 for sure

Review days are super helpful, concepts are made clear and discussed well in class, tests take a long time despite feeling prepared for the material

His class sucks. He goes through his power points all class then proceeds to state that the power points are only 25% of the test, and does not feel the need to mention what the other 75% of the test will be... You can study all week and still feel under prepared coming into every test. Unless you are in the Davis Center id find someone else.

Instead of covering options/future, value investing, income strategies, growth stocks, cryptocurrencies, cannabis stocks, gold&silver, and real estate, Dan covers The Big Short My advice: read independent financial research and manage your own portfolio. Not convinced he has real investing experience. Davis Center recruitment is political.

Likes to talk about the Davis Center a lot. Understandable considering that he is super passionate about it. He is tuff but pretty fair overall in class. Nice and does not make you feel dumb.

Really enjoyed this class, got out early a lot and made me laugh a lot during class. You have to study the powerpoints and textbook to do well on the exams but its worth it. Gave some of the formulas on a formula sheet for tests. Homeworks and vocab quizzes were super easy (grade boosters).

While he likes to talk about himself and talks about the Davis Center A LOT, his lectures are interesting. There is a homework assignment and quiz every week but they are both easy As. also usually get let out of class early!

Overall pretty decent. Knows his stuff and has a lot of experience with investing. He gets off topic quite a bit talking about personal stories from his working days and the Davis Center, which can be a bit much at times. Make sure you read the textbook before exams, as some of the material isn't in the lectures.
