FINANCE 325
Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Class is not too hard if you have a decent base. Exams are basically just homework rephrased. Ilhan is whiny and annoying at times, and basically encourages you to not come to his office hours.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
He was a great professor and I learned a lot in his class! He is very straight to the point, and taught the material with direct examples that resembled both the homework and the exams. Exams were extremely fair and straightforward, and even though they were short answer/math that required showing your work, he graded them promptly.

FINANCE 305
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
One of the best professors I've had at UW! His exams were extremely fair and straightforward, almost exactly the same problems you do in lecture. You do have to attend lecture though since they are not recorded. As long as you attend the lectures, you will be completely fine on the exams. I found this class easier than Finance 300.
