ECON 4340

Very knowledgeable but doesn't give anymore insight to the current financial markets than if you watch CNBC. His lectures are not organized and he repeats himself in a bad way each class. Poorly written textbook but good side readings. Tests are difficult if you don't read and skip exams otherwise they're are generally fair. While it's the best the ECON department has for finance, it was overall a disappointing class.

Not the funnest or most interesting class, but clearly the one that needs the least work. Notes basically say the same thing every day, so less things to study for. I like him overall. Lazy people, this is really the class to take.

One of the easier econs out there. It is however quite enjoyable and useful. The only bad thing about the class was the way the exams were graded. The TA's are lonely econ TA's who dont know much about finance and thus grade the exams with a strict answer key. Anyone from the comm school will find it frustrating to have to answer questions with little or no thought instead of with actuall analysis. Overall an easy A if you care about finane.

Not that difficult, but lectures are somewhat mundane.

This class just goes by too slowly and isn't substantive enough. We spent four classes reviewing the same material, where finance study should encompass a lot more for students new to the material

The book is not that well written. The most helpful lectures were when Sunit taught them since he actually had thought out lesson plans.

Great class! The readings are very useful and the midterms are easy if you read and go to lecture.

Lectures are boring and exams are tough. But the curve is pretty nice.

I DONT WANT TO STUDY FOR THIS FINAL

I would recommend this class to people looking to take a 4000 level econ that doesn't require much of a time commitment. It is one of the less time consuming classes as there are only two midterms and a final that encompass your grade. For exams, if you know what is taught in class really well and take good notes then you should do fine. It's not easy to get an A but it's pretty easy to get a B. I enjoyed the lectures and material overall.
