Comment:
This man is a genious. You will learn so much from him. His classes are hard, but worth it. He makes your tuition dollars worth it. I took 631 and 650 at the same time with him...for good reason. He is brilliant. Prepare for a hard class with clear expectations. I wish I could have stayed in school longer to take more classes with him.

Comment:
Great course. Lots of work and high expectations, but you get out of it what you put in. He is very clear about what expects and the amount of time required from day 1. Applicable and relevant. He brings real-world knowledge that puts the material in context. Highly recommend this course.

Bob Purtell is an excellent professor. He has very high expectations, but is clear about what they are. This is a graduate level course that is 4 credits, meaning that you are expected to spend a lot of time outside of class and master all of the material. He brings real-world experience and knowledge that puts it all in text. Highly recommend.

All of his classes are difficult and a lot of work. The positive thing about his classes is you learn a lot of information and skills assisting you in the real world. He is such an asset to Rockefeller College. I adore him, even after all his complex assignments

Comment:
Professor Purtell is an excellent instructor with abundant practical experience in finance and a refreshingly unaffected manner. He is almost always available and happy to assist his students. He tends to hold the class until the very last minute or even beyond, but only because his lectures are dense with amusing, but enlightening anecdotes.
