Comment:
Dr. Wall's equity class is the most strenuous class I took at Canisius. Dr. Wall is a Canisius O.G. with massive thumbs of steel and a throat clear that wakes up the neighborhood dogs. Dr. Wall's smile is the brightest thing in my life. He is the best at the school - students respect him, professors envy him, and his parents are proud to have him.

Dr. Wall is very knowledgable but this class was nearly impossible. Tests are impossible, expect C's. You may learn a lot but nothing you learn will be on the exam.

Dr. Wall is straight with your from the get go. He tells you the work you'll have to do to get an 'A' in his class and he is not lying. While you may not receive an 'A' necessarily, you will most certainly learn a lot from any class you take with him.

Great teacher. To all fellow students: sure, he is tough and good grades aren't easy to achieve but when you work hard, you will do well and learn as much as you probably can in one course.

He knows he stuff VERY well. He gets excited about it at times but he's a great guy. He responds to email very quickly and always willing to help. Tests are hard even with hours of studying, he does curve at end of semester.

Comment:
He clearly knows his stuff, but he should NOT be teaching a 201 course! DO NOT take him unless you are a fast learner and are an expert in Microsoft Excel. He should be teaching at the graduate level. It is a very hard time for those who do not have any history in finance. Average test grades are in the mid 60s.

Dr. Wall is a nice guy who clearly knows his stuff; however, you must be prepared to do ANY INCREDIBLE amount of work. You will learn a lot, though you likely will spend a large portion of the time completely lost. Must study relentlessly to do remotely well. If you are looking for an easy class LOOK ELSEWHERE.

good professor. knows his stuff. if he sees that your trying and need extra help, he is more than willing to help you. he ended up dropping our lowest exam grade to help us improve our grade. do the homework and he will help you if you need it.

Comment:
For those who are really interested in learning finance, he has been one of the best professors to do it with. He knows his material extremely well. He is tremendously well qualified to do much more than teach, but god bless that he sheds his wisdom with his students. He grades fairly well, tests are quite compelling and you must attend every class

Knows his stuff but has trouble explaining it to his students. Not a bad class though, as long as you know how to do the homeworks, you should be alright on the tests.

I didnt like this Guy at first, but as the semester went on i relaized he wasnt that bad of a guy. He makes things very clear in class, and his tests are hard but he grades on a generous curve and the final isnt as bad as the tests. Not a bad guy at all.

God, one of my least favorite classes ever. This guy is the most arrogant, ignorant prick I've ever come in contact with. Lecture had nothing to do with what was on the tests Learned about all the Beamers and Lexus' he owned and all the fortune he had in his life. Helped me greatly on the final . Thank God I passed. What a prick.

Not a bad teacher.. somewhat difficult, but a good guy. Take advantage of office hours & don't skip class, and you should be okay. He's real smart, just doesn't always know how to present it to his students.

We all studied a lot in 206. Draw your graphs at home and rehearse answering potential questions for the test. He explains the concepts well and I learned a lot, but you have to produce specific graphs so practice hard student.Nice guy,not flexible.
