Comment:

Amazing man but his lectures were absolutely worthless. All the questions you will be tasked with (except the very last topic) will be from the book. His classes are very fruity with qualitative info and graphs but the actual assignments are math with formulas from the book! Wish he did examples instead of just talking.

Best Professor I had in concordia. Very accessible, very nice and loves to have conversations to clear things up in class. This is my last semester but I wish I took him before in more classes. The assignments were LONG but nothing too hard to handle. The projects are fairly graded. I mean overall I would DEFINITELY recommend.

Walker is truly a great professor and a genuinely nice person. His lectures were always entertaining and he tries his best to make the material as approachable as can be. He designed his course to be as accommodating as possible during COVID too - no exams, just take home assignments. Take him and don't think twice, you won't regret it!

Despite the class being late (8:30 to 11 PM(!) ), Professor Walker was always energetic and taught what happened to be a very interesting and fun class. Very fair grader and he made things very smooth as we were all dealing with the pandemic.

Very knowledgeable teacher, however he is very strict on his assignment submission policy. He wants all his assignments (which can go up to 15 pages and over) to be written by hand which can be very time consuming. Get your pencils ready if you're taking this teacher.

I had the pleasure to be apart of the Finance Honours class with him. He's one of the nicest people I met in my life. He's a scholar and expects the same effort and dedication from you. What you put in you'll get back and the things you learn will stay with you. Taking the Honours class with him was easily the best experience I had at JMSB!

People are confusing nice with being a good teacher. He's very nice, but he can't teach. His slides are useless and he doesn't prepare you for the midterm and final. Can't control the class, just talks a bit louder. But he does show you how to use a financial calculator.

He doesnt teach the material well and has no control of the class. He seems nice but he tries to make you do the easy stuff in class and then for the exam you are totally lost.

Great guy. Knows his stuff, is very nice and reasonable. Explains well and knows the stuff inside out. He has a low voice so I recommend sitting at the front of the class. I got an A+.

The best teacher at JMSB - period! Extremely knowledgable, always enthusiastic and well prepared. I took both COMM308 and FINA411 with him - too bad he doesn't teach other courses. His exams aren't easy but very fair - everything that was on the exams was discussed in class. If you can, try to take him. But be careful - his sections fill up early!

Had the worst class with him, they wouldn't shut up but I bet they all failed anyways. He is a great teacher, loves the the material and if you practice problems and attend lectures, you'll do good. He is very helpful if you need it. Very nice guy, and prepares you well for the exams. I would take him again, knows his stuff.

Useless.. You may as well read the slides. Cause thats all he does.. oh and he can't control a class for the life of him. As opposed to kicking out noisy people he turns on a mic. Almost completely useless. Although I hear if you go see him in his office he provides you with extra help and provides most answers to things.

I absolutely loved him. I couldn't of asked for a better teacher! I'm math illiterate and ended up getting a B+ in this class. His explanations are clear, his notes are good and he reviews before the midterm and final. Not many teachers do that. If I'd have to take another finance class, I wouldnt take it with neone else!
