One of the best teachers I have had throughout all of my school experiences. He keeps class fun and upbeat, while still teaching. He doesn't't just care about student in the classroom , but out of it as well. If one of his students needs help with anything, he will go out of his way to make sure you're ok. Great guy.

Comment:
He teaches in a way that is engaging and does not make you want to fall asleep in the middle of class like some of my classes do. You can tell he cares about all of his students, and not only in the classroom. The one critique I would give is that he doesn't use slides, so it can be a little tricky knowing what to write down.

Sommers is amazing. He makes the material easy to understand and keeps students engaged, a difficult task for a night class. He actually cares about his students and doesn't assign much work. One 5 page paper, 3 exams. Made a 3 hour night class much more bearable and would definitely recommend him to anyone who has to take a class he teaches.

This guy right here. I made so many memories in his class and connected with many of the other students. He seems to base his grading on his own personal choices, but otherwise he is great. He is definitely better if he has a TA or Peer Mentor to question and banter with. Definitely reach out to him, and he will be there for you for all 4 years.

Prof. Sommers is my favorite professor. He gives great, engaging lectures with lots of guest speakers and is interesting to listen to. His grading seemed to be a little arbitrary but that is my only complaint about him. I highly suggest you GET TO KNOW HIM! He will provide you with so many connections and stick with you all 4 years at UD!

Professor Sommers taught my BUAD110 class, and it was a class that I looked forward to going to every single day. His sense of humor and his knowledge in business and finance made him a well rounded professor. He held reasonable office hours and was always available when needed. He is also very understanding. Take him if you can!!

AMAZING! Explains topics in simple terms and is willing to repeat for the class. He is SO very helpful if there are personal concerns and generally wants to see each and every student succeed. His exams are fair and although the subject matter is bland, he keeps lectures engaging and light! TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT

Prof Sommers was amazing and cares about every student. He makes an effort stating the first day to know your name and get to know you as a person. There are quite a few hw assignments but if you do them you will ace the exams. His lectures are very interesting and he engages you the entire time. Definitely take this class!

Prof Sommers is hands down the best professor I've had at UD so far. Not only does he care about your grade and understanding of the material, but he cares about you as a person. Take the time out of your day to actually talk to him! He makes BUAD110 (including the group projects) a breeze. TAKE HIM!!!

Prof. Sommers if by far the best finance professor I have ever had at UD. Though the subject may not be the most interesting thing- he is highly engaging throughout the entire lecture and uses great examples so the material really sticks. Class is made up of five quizzes and a final paper. Genuinely cares about his students. Would 100% recommend.
