- His teachings, anything but conventional. More often than not, goes into great length, not the syllabus, but the share market and shows websites with stock related news.
- His lectures, not only does he not use powerpoint slides, he teaches using the whiteboard with barely comprehensible handwriting.
- His lecture notes, short and sweet. So short that even tutors were left asking, "What is he trying to talk about?"
- Loathes financial models and formulae which he claims, "Thats all you all love, Formulae, formulae and more formulae"
He is the American Professor who has totally "revolutionized" the way we learn this unit. So revolutionary that it has left many students "lost in translation". To be fair, his method of teaching exemplifies how I personally feel about Finance. It's NOT about the textbook and formulae, rather the real world situations that arise and the judgements required. BUT, for the purposes of this unit, there is a need for him to allow students to acquire an understanding of the underlying concepts before introducing to us how they apply in the real world. Even tutors I have spoken to agreed that his method of teaching is more suited to post-graduate level. With barely 4 weeks to go to the Final Exam, much as I loathe it, I may have to resort to focusing just on specific areas to aid my study for this unit. Unconventional teaching call for unconventional learning. I think I can effectively write off this unit for a potential HD. -_-
