Here are the comments that the students submitted on their course evaluations for this class at the end of the Fall 2022 Semester:

• WOW! What a great professor and class! Bill Reese is one of the most organized professors I’ve had and it makes taking this class easy. The material itself can be challenging but he does a great job of making learning as easy as possible and provides so many resources to his students that there is no complaints from me!
• There is nothing else to say than that Mr. Reese is an excellent and charismatic professor who cares about his students and teaches in a fun way.
• Very straight-forward, organized course – if you follow what the professor says, you will succeed. Learned a lot.
• I had sat in on this class’s first session twice and waited until I had time to really focus on it, as it was the course I was most worried about, but Prof. Reese has perfected his teaching method. I learned more about things I can use in my daily life (mortgages, credit card APRs etc.) than any other course. Although many concepts are challenging, the range of supporting material is excellent, from general concepts in the textbook (sometimes a little confusing as they can present different options/terminology than the class does) to especially the regular quizzes which really helped me ensure I understood the underlying ideas.
• It is very rare to find a professor who conveys information as efficiently and provokes learning as well as Professor Reese. It has been a pleasure to attend his class.
• I loved this class! Although the content itself was challenging, I knew exactly what to expect on both quizzes and tests. Professor Reese is not trying to confuse you, and he tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed. As a student, I really appreciate professors like this because I am not worried about them throwing curve balls, rather I can focus on learning the material. I also enjoyed how I could easily find all materials and videos on his website. If there was a question I had, there was more than likely a resource to answer it. Professor Reese gets a 10-/10 from me.
• The course was very well structured. From the get-go, Professor Reese clearly established the expectations of students on the course and the amount of work that would need to be done independently and in preparation for understanding class material, perform well on tests, etc.… He was readily available to respond to any queries students had. He had notes provided ahead of time, video tutorials that students could refer to and understand how to tackle questions. In essence, he was super organized which really helps students follow the course and organize their schedule to enhance performance on the course.
• Professor Reese challenges his students to learn and grow throughout this course. His teaching style seems strict, but he is very fair and reasonable. His notes are easy to follow, and he brings the best out of his students. I would not hesitate to take another class with Professor Reese, and I actually plan on doing so.
• Professor Reese is fantastic. Organized, succinct, and clear. I have struggled in finance classes in the past and was apprehensive about taking this course, but Professor Reese’s teaching style made everything very straightforward. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.
• Professor Reese was a great instructor. Going into this course with minor knowledge in Finance, I wasn’t sure how I would manage in a graduate level course. Professor Reese quickly erased these concerns as he very effectively taught every aspect of the course in class and made it easy to follow along and learn the material. I really enjoyed the course and thought it was unbelievably valuable.
• Thought the course was well structured and extremely fair. No hidden surprises or off the wall questions. Loved professor Reese’s energy in class and his quick responses to emails and timely submission of grades to the class.
• Phenomenal class experience
• Reese is a very inspiring individual who cares deeply about the learning and well-being of his students. This is an extremely well-taught class.
• Everything that was asked of you was mad very clear and any points that people lost were fair to be taken away.
• Excellent course. The only thing I would ask for is more example questions and solutions.
• Very good instructor and explains complex problems well.
• This course was FANTASTIC. I learned so much and am pleased knowing I can take away everything I’ve learned and apply it in the real world. Overall, the course structure was exceptionally well organized, and I did not need to fish for any material. I enjoyed the website layout. Also, Professor Bill Reese is a gifted teacher. I’m honored to have had him as a professor.
• Excellent class. In fact, the teaching helped me to build a comprehensive understanding of Financial Management and their use in management context. The class was very detailed and organized and the instructor was BEST – very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions as they came up. Professor William Reese was extremely helpful in delivering the subject by integrating real world examples and explaining difficult concepts in simple terms. More importantly, he was able to give tangible examples and tie them to the coursework based on his own vast experiences. I really enjoyed the course overall and would highly recommend to other people.
• There are teachers, and then there are professors. Bill Reese is the kind of professor you remember for the rest of your life and leaves you with a feeling of wonderment. I’m pretty nervous for his upcoming exam – but I cannot say that Dr. Reese did not do everything in his power to make me prepared for it.
