I searched and found the other topics but they were a year old.... does anyone who has him this semester know if he's moved back our 3rd exam? Or is it it's original date? I've been to class but haven't heard anything. I didn't know if he said anything about it while I wasn't paying attention.

did you check his website? Otherwise, try emailing him or one of his T.A.s

11/19/2007 12:11:38 PM

Yes I checked the website... he just sent an announcement in an e-mail. Thanks.

best teacher at ncsu

11/19/2007 12:54:57 PM

how is the class? i'm taking it next semester.

11/20/2007 12:25:53 PM

i'm guessing similar to all the 300 level classes(i took 330, 340, 350 and 360)...not too hard if you study and are not a slacker

11/20/2007 1:30:46 PM

The class is not too bad. The teacher is great he gives really good advice on retirement plans, etc. The only problem I had was that there was no attendance policy since it's in Nelson 3400 so I had a hard time motivating myself to study. If you study the book and notes and practice exams, though, you will be fine.

^agreed...i'd also like to add i had like 11 classes in nelson 3400(first class ever at ncsu was in there actually)...that room gets so freaking old after a while

11/20/2007 2:22:07 PM

this class is so money

one of the best profs NCSU has to offer

11/20/2007 7:22:49 PM

yeah Sloan is definitely the man

I never liked fianace so it didnt mater who tought it(also hated accounting). Audited it the first time with him then took it for a grade and made a C.....I was thrilled. Now I am a Loan Specialist

He uses the same old same old same old examples semester after semester, so it did help to audit it first!

wow...

11/26/2007 12:27:03 AM

^wow what?

11/26/2007 1:56:44 PM

spelling

11/26/2007 2:49:44 PM

oh hahah. yeah, that was pretty awful to read.

11/26/2007 6:00:12 PM

Yeah, Dr. Sloan is a good teacher but I just don't like the fact that there are only 25 questions on the test. If you miss one, you automatically miss 4 points. Plus, there's no extra credit for us to raise our grades. He drops the lowest test score though. The class is not fun at all! I'm glad I'm not a finance major.

when i took his 320 class, he curved the tests and the final grades... does he still do that?

12/4/2007 5:33:59 PM

i sure hope so cause i am struggling in this class and im supposed to graduate next month.

12/4/2007 9:26:08 PM

if he thinks you are trying you will get the C, well, unless you fail everything and then he doesnt have much of a choice....he curves some, but it is based on some formula and it isnt all that many pts.
