A very nice teacher but failed to teach the class well. There was little to no structure in his lectures. They consisted of him just writing examples on a whiteboard, often which had intricate mistakes. There was no textbook to reference from, and his slides on ELMS were not helpful. His deep analysis of the mathematics behind each example further confused the students. The class mean on the midterm was a 63.7%, which he claimed "he aimed for". The BMGT340F section is strictly for Sophomore Finance Fellows. It is supposed to be an accelerated course, but honestly just made me want to switch majors. Overall, I do not recommend this professor. He seems brilliant but is clearly inexperienced in teaching an undergraduate class.

Rich is amazing. Great guy to talk to and he knows his stuff. I would recommend this class over BMGT340. The people who say it is harder just didn't pay attention or try to listen to what he actually had to say.

Rich is the goat. 10/10. He knows what he's talking about. The case studies sucked but his exams were pretty easy.

He is a very nice guy but this is easily the worst class I've taken in the business school. He teaches extremely advanced/complex topics before teaching us the basics (not what you expect in the intro Finance class), leaving students with little material learned. He also assigns homework that has very little to do with the class material and the case studies will end up taking your whole weekend when assigned (which providing zero value towards the concepts required for the class). From what I've heard, the other 340 teachers are far better where you will actually learn and be set up well for future upper-level finance courses. On top of that, the grading in those is far fairer and you will be less stressed.

Take the other 340 professors for your own sanity. The course work with him is far more complex than it should be for the intro finance class and you don't end up learning what you need to for the future courses. He simply gets in front of the class with his slides, starts talking and plugging stuff into formulas, and you unfortunately never end up learning anything. The grades are probably a solid 10-15% (if not more) lower than they would be compared to the other professors. Not to mention, you actually learn with the other professors.

Nice dude, goes too fast to let him know. Extra credit is helpful, go to TA hours!
