This professor stands out as one of the best I've ever had. He's brilliant, thoughtful, and truly invested in his students. He knows everyone by name in the first week and treats every student with respect. The course is challenging, and the quizzes and final exam are definitely tough, so make sure you spend time studying and ask lots of questions.

Ken is a fantastic lecturer and a great guy who was pretty helpful in and out of class. That being said, his 330 sections covered way too much content and the pacing of the course made the quizzes and final nightmarishly difficult. Finance majors prepare to suffer despite the workable curve.

Dr. K was a great professor. He was always available for his students and showed genuine care for everyone. He does truly want all of his students to succeed. His class is hard so work is heavily recommended outside of class. If you meet with him during office hours, he's very encouraging and will help guide to the right solution.

Easiest class ever. No need to do homework, just read his notes and get an A on the exam. Lectures were boring.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 5/5
Extremely caring and intelligent professor. He truly wants you to succeed. Exams are extremely difficult. Don't take this class with other hard classes at the same time. You will spend way too much time studying for finance.
