Question: Comments on course effectiveness
n/a
I really dislike this subject, but thought that the course was fun and interesting. The assignments really helped me gain a better understanding of the learning
objectives.
This is an upper level PRT class so it should require 6+ hours of work outside the once a week, 3 hour, in class session. Make us work for the grade.
GO Troy it's yo birthday! Go on and drink bacardi like it's yo birthday!
Having this class at 830am from 3 hours is a joke. I didn't learn anything and would have benefited for other options
He used a lot of real life examples which made it easier to relate. He also was always there to help with assignments and gave us ample time to work on them
Enjoyed the small group work and the discussion style of the class-
I liked the class being once a week but longer, great use of class time

 I loved this course. I actually ended up taking one of the assignments and using some of the framework from it for my own personal budget at home. I learned
so much.
Question: Instructor Comments
BENNETT Troy is great! P.s. just write bigger on the board! ;)
BENNETT Excellent teacher... needs a little more confidence when presenting information. Also having this class later in the day would probably help boost participation.
BENNETT Go Troy it's yo Birthday, we all gonna party like it's yo birthday! We all gon sip bacardi like it's yo birthday and we don't give a what cuz it's yo birthday!
I really dislike this subject, but Troy was an awesome instructor for this course. He made the subject matter interesting and engaging as it could have been. He
BENNETT
consistently asked us for feedback, and whenever that was negative, he would visibly try to improve. I would recommend Troy's classes to anyone!
Troy seemed to know everything there was to know about financial management and even had a fair amount of real experience. The projects were the best
BENNETT because they forced us to go back and review what we had learned so far and work through the problems. There should have been more easy and moderate
assignments that were hard.
He did amazing. So helpful and always accepted and improved from our feed back. Loved his teaching style of providing us time to work together and solve
BENNETT
problems while he was there to help.
Instructor Bennett was really good about making sure we had everything to complete an assignment, and if we had questions he was very open about us e-
BENNETT mailing him. He also midway through the semester asked for feedback and things we could change, and he actually implemented some of those ideas for the
rest of the semester which was very thoughtful.
Troy did a great job. I hope he is able to pursue the teaching route further. I feel like he did a great job trying to explain all the content and was extremely open
BENNETT to explaining any questions one might have had. He was always prompt with replies to emails and seemed to always put quality work into the assignment
feedback.
BENNETT Great teacher, very helpful, way better than the other finance teacher
BENNETT I would suggest redesigning some of the assignments. They were kind of confusing and it felt that they were designed to trick the student.
