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.",

    "comment": "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.",

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. ",
