Comment:
There are 3 group assignments, two tests, one final and five homework assignments. He's a pretty lenient grader and would usually have tests graded fairly quickly. Beware that he loves to call on people so make sure you're paying attention in class, especially if you sit in the back. In my opinion, he's one of the better business professors.

Read slides, keep ask questions before any teaching. You will not fail if study by yourself and prepare well for cheat sheet. Exam very similar with assignment questions, 2 page cheat sheet allowed. So many questions in exam. 1 group presentation, finish class half an hour early. Class is boring, offend jokes and drugs experience all the time.

Comment:
I had him for two different classes and both were structured similarly. Several individual excel based assignments, group assignments, 10 page essay, couple exams and a presentation in one of the classes but not the other. He spends most of the class time making jokes about doing cocaine. If you can teach yourself and do the work you will be ok.

Comment:
Tough class! No curve.. 2midterms and final. Final is cumulative. 4 group projects. He just reads off the slides Lecture is sometimes just half an hour. Gives points for attendance. Makes a lot of jokes which I don't find funny the jokes are offensive. Concepts on midterms are tough. You need to really understand the concept & read the book.

Comment:
Professor Ham is a homeboy, I highly recommend taking him. He knows his stuff and yeah his class can be challenging, but finance is tough so get over it. Group work is important, very similar to the tests and MC questions come from the slides and book. Lecture is fun because he randomly calls on people and keeps class entertaining. Take him!

Comment:
His teaching style: Reads off the slides, then agrees with it. Every other class period class would be let out early. Group projects are a huge part of your grade, so choose wisely. Test are very hard, multiple choice and then written solving questions. Solving questions come straight out of the projects. Attendance is mandatory. Teach yourself.

Comment:
Ham works mainly in finance but was the best accounting professor I’ve ever had. He keeps you alert and makes you earn your grade. There are group work and homework assignments that help your understanding and grade. He’s really funny but does not neglect his teaching. You get cheat sheets and he gives fair exams. Need the textbook for homework.

Comment:
He is a solid professor. He really cares about his students. His exams are not easy, but if you work hard you will be okay. Make sure you pick a solid group. You will be stuck with your group for the remainder of the semester for small group work. 2 midterms,3 small excel projects, 1 case study,and 1 final.

Comment:
Exams are really challenging, multiple choice questions are conceptually based meaning you have to know a set of topics to truly understand it. It accommodates with 40% of the grade on group. Will occasionally throw jokes about his past relationships but get back on topic immediately. Definitely recommend him but study the exams differently.

Definitely a hard teacher. Reads off power point slides, and agrees with it. Attendance is mandatory and extra credit is given. 4 group assignments, 2 midterms, 1 final, 2 extra credit opportunities. TESTS ARE DEATH

Prof. Ham is the homie. He tells jokes all the time to keep the class awake. He really makes this class enjoyable. Lets you out early a lot. Attendance is mandatory, it counts for points. 2 midterms, 1 final. Group work and HW, not that difficult. 4x6 cheat sheet for midterms, 8x11 cheat sheet for final exam. Take him!

Class consists of 3 exams and several group works. Exam are difficult, but a cheat sheet is allowed for each exam. Overall the professor knows the material and with sufficient studying time this class isn't too hard.

Comment:
I disagree with some comments below. Professor Ham knows his stuff. He actually worked in the field before teaching, which is always a plus. The exams are difficult, but if you prepare a throrough cheatsheet, you should do well. He's pretty funny too, which keeps class lively. Take him and put in a decent amount of time studying. You'll do great.

He just read the slide and comment on it a little. Finishes two chapters in one hour. We got extra 5 credits for some stuff (5%). He curved the class at the end. Tests are hard, but if u read the whole chapter like two times u can get a B or an A for sure.

Ham is one of the best teacher's I've ever had here at CSULB. He makes you want to come to class because he's very entertaining, tells jokes, NOT boring. I have him once a week (5-7:45)and were usually done by 645. Weekly homework straight out of book and an easy ongoing group project.(4parts) He remembers your name which is good in a class of 160.

Comment:
Had him for both FIN300 & CBA300. He's THAT entertaining. Tells interesting stories "before class starts." Gives xtra CR if u dress up for Halloween. Ends class early if feels like it, talks fast, willing to help, easy to talk to, & gives out HW. Tests can be tricky for FIN300, know your concepts. Was more lenient on CBA300. One of my FAVS @ CSULB!
