Sometimes he can lecture too quickly, but if you stop to ask questions, he will be patient and re-explain. He responds quickly to emails and is very knowledgeable in the subject. The class content itself is extremely important for anyone working in finance, I'm surprised it's not a core class.
Richmond Mathews BUFN712 Expecting an A+ obylla 03/19/2023	The course consists of: 4 case assignments, participation, midterm, and final exam. The participation is based on in-class exercises that the prof does along with the students at the same time, submitted at end of class. Very easy. The case assignment are based on your valuation skills and knowledge (do not recommend this course for anyone who hasn't take Valuation in Corporate Finance). Two of the cases were done in a negotiation settings with other teams, which was very fun. The midterm/final were relatively easy if you study. The course load was good, not crazy heavy. The slides/material were short (it's better to write notes on them during the lecture). The prof explained the concepts really well. He is very friendly, approachable, and considerate of student needs. The environment in class was very relaxed and enjoyable. He will do extra review zoom sessions outside of school hours to help students. Quick to respond to emails and very patient no matter how many questions you ask. He can tend to talk fast and rush through the slides, but if you stop and ask questions, he will slow down, repeat, re-explain. It is easy to not pay attention, so don't. Overall, great professor and course.

One thing need to mention is a very strict grading. So you try hard and work good, your grade willbe better than those not as hard work guys.
