worst experience. he mumbles to himself, writes on the board and is hard to follow. you are going to teach yourself because he posts practise questions with no answers and also does not teach calculator tricks. be prepared to teach yourself one of the hardest courses.

He focuses on theory when final exam was worth 75% calculations & 25% theory... Didn't teach calculation questions in class, if he did it was textbook examples.. Had to learn everything on your own or from a different teacher's class. If you plan on learning yourself then be my guest & take him.

In his lectures, he would mumble something and occasionally write a term on the whiteboard. Most people stopped attending lectures after the third lecture of that. What he taught in class seemed irrelevant from what was tested. He was not helpful when questions were asked.

Here's the thing. This guy does not know how to project his voice. More than half the class dropped the course after the midterm since many people failed so it was down to around 15 people, and yet he no one could hear anything even at the front. Couldn't understand anything in class and when you email him he is not helpful.

Professor Edward is extremely unclear and unapproachable. His midterm in this class is very difficult, and considering he is not a great teacher, you are destined for a poor or failing midterm mark. He does very few, and irrelevant examples and if you do keep him, I highly, highly suggest you attend another professors lectures.

No better finance professor than this one, he explains very clear and is very concise. Bonus we got to leave early.

made the lectures easy to understand, come to class take your notes, practice the questions assigned in class and you should be good.

Edward is a bit hard to understand in class. I believe he means well when he speaks but there's a language barrier. You end up teaching yourself this course for the most part. Read the slides, chapters, and do a few of the end of chapter practice questions and you should be okay. Getting an A in this course will be a stretch.

Unable to understand, tests do not follow what was taught in class. Does not use slides, just writes random things on the white board. Could not answer questions when asked

All the bottom reviews are so misleading.. His lectures are horrible and unclear. It is really hard to understand what he is saying, with all due respect. Also, his midterm is nowhere near easy as his practise midterm. In fact, it's nothing like it. Don't take this course with him if you want to get a decent grade and learn. I have learned 0
