Reviews of professor Tim Trombley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Probably my favorite professor I've had at ISU. He had very good lectures and I am taking him again for FIL 349. He had very good lectures and made many good jokes during class. The workload wasn't that bad and there was a lot of extra credit I got like 7% of my total grade from extra credit.

The entire class is based off case studies. There are 4 main projects that are somewhat challenging. The only homework is to read the cases. Participation is graded by attendance and also extra points for talking. Very relaxing class and interesting discussions. If you take him in 341 then 349 will be a breeze. Prepares you well for presentations.

Professor Trombley is my favorite professor that I have taken at ISU by far. 349 was definitely one of the tougher classes I have taken but it was still a good time. I definitely recommend tasking him for 341 since 349 is using what you learned from 341 for projects and presentations. This class has some participation, presentations, and projects.

Take this class if you actually want to learn something. Prof is very knowledgeable and interesting. Exams/assignments are not hard, you just need to put in the effort/study. You will do just fine if you come to class prepared and watch the online lectures. If not, don't be surprised if you don't know what's going on.

Interesting guy to say the least, he is knowledgable but does come across arrogant at times. Nice guy who respects his students and if you actually pay attention and ask questions you can learn a lot.

If you want to learn finance then take Trombley. All the other finance teachers are blow offs and that will not help you in the field. His exams are hard but he gives a lot of generous points for showing work. Always willing to help students.

Great professor if you are trying to learn instead of getting a good grade!

The amount of work assigned in this class is way too much when combined with the already difficult course material. There's 5 homework assignments, A Wall Street Prep course that takes like 7-10 hours to complete, 2 big projects that both require substantial work, 2 in class essays (where he only gives you 30 minutes to write 3 pages), and 2 tests.

You will learn a lot if you choose to take this course, be ready to participate in class discussions and case studies. Tim does a great job of making the lectures less dry, learned more in this class than most classes in undergrad.

Tim Trombley wants you to succeed by challenging you. He has taught me the most out of any professor Ive ever had. He prepares you for the real world. If you want a blow off teacher dont take him. If you want to actually learn and benefit finance principles 100% recommend. Great dude, very funny and very intelligent
