Comment:
Horrible class, Okay guy I guess. If you are terrible at Math DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take this class, his teaching is very confusing and boring. The class is dull and he goes off the slide word for word. If you need to take this class make sure you have LOTS of time for it because you will be teaching yourself & you have 3 test to get a good grade

Comment:
The most boring class I have ever taken. He just reads EXACTLY what is on the slide and then posts them online. Has annoying habits that get on your nerves. Very nice guy and class is duable if you read text book.

the class in entirely powerpoints that he puts online. he rarely gives examples and the only grades are 3 exams. There is no homework but he gives suggested problems.

Comment:
He's an average teacher. He teaches strictly from powerpoints, which he goes through super super fast. You have to do a lot of outside reading and practice problems to do well in this class. He's really nice and willing to help but this class was probably one of my most difficult courses because of the amount of outside work I had to do.

Comment:
if you sign up for this class, don't expect to get much out of the lectures. you'll definitely find yourself not going because you rarely get anything out of sitting there while he reads slides that are online anyway. if you can teach yourself and this class makes or breaks your schedule take it. otherwise find a new prof.

Comment:
It's a really easy class. There is no attendance policy or homework. There are three tests, the last of which is given during finals week. All he does is speed read off of a Powerpoint. Extremely ineffective teacher. I wouldn't necessarily recommend him for any other reason than the fact that there is zero workload for the class.

Comment:
A couple of weeks into the class the solutions to our homework problems were still unavailable because his teacher's manual of the text had not come in yet... When asked to explain the homework he could not. Perhaps he was once an adequate professor but currently he is an embarassment to Canisius College.

VERY nice guy, but this class was just unbearable. I felt bad that no one ever attended his class, but it was just ridiculous. Notes are impossible to take, material is impossible to understand, THANK GOD FOR THE CURVE!!

Comment:
His class is the most rediculous thing Ive ever been a part of. Introductory finance classes are clearly not his forte. He is the head of the finance department but just way too smart to teach to a 201 level class. He runs out of breath and paces all throughout his lecture. I have never seen a professor flip through powerpoint slides so fast.

Wasn't clear at all. Didn't really teach the material, he would ramble a lot. He would get lost solving his own problems. Only plus was he gave a full grade level curve.

Runs out of breath a lot but a fairly easy grader and doesnt require homework or attendance. He teaches from slides for the most part.

This class is the craziest **** i have ever been a part of. This man cannot teach, in fact he should go back to mensa and stop confusing the**** out of us. Not one person knows what the hell is going on in this class and it is a waste of money that we cannot get a professor that we can understand. Bosshardt we salute you.

Comment:
There is only one mandatory assignment all year long (a 2-5 pg paper) the rest are just suggested problems. If you just attend class, pay attention (even though it gets extremely boring), and do the suggested problems if you need practice you should be able to get a B+ or an A

I couldn't even get through accounting and Dr. Bosshart got me through Corp. Finance with a B+! He made everyone in the class feel like could get through this really challenging class. If you need this class take it with him.

I've had Dr. Bosshardt before. He teaches this class a lot better than he teaches Stats or 314. He didnt use powerpoint at all so far, and its a lot of examples. The class is really good, and I think its better to see Dr. B teaching something he is more comfortable teaching. Learn alot about options

Horrible! Uses powerpoint for everything, all he does is point to a screen. He can't even do half the problems he assigns. I would never take this teacher again!

for a stats class it's pretty easy, two tests a final and a tiny paper. tests are easy, only 9 chapters covered, non conprehensive, quite easy up until chap7. make sure you read the book for this chapter, and yes he's definately a nerd.
