Comment:
Professor Salerno was a good teacher. Understood subject matter thoroughly and showed relativity to real world. Kept class up to date via email, but doesn't respond if you personally email him. However, there is no need to personally email because grading criteria and due dates were explained thoroughly and well in advance. Enjoyed subject.

Good professor. He clearly knows what he's talking about. Pay attention to the midterm. He doesn't curve so it can really impact your grade even if you get a perfect score for the final exam. Take advantage of the extra points offered in class earlier in the course because they become more challenging and less frequent as the course progresses.

Not the best , but not the worst. Everything is from the book and the slides. Pretty straight forward. Exams are average , few tricks though. The language of the test is very different from his lectures , so kind of tricky. Make sure you are prepared to play some bingo on some extra points he gives out in class for after chapter questions.

Salerno is arrogant and irrelevant. He cares more about getting published than teaching. He ignores emails and grade on a whim rather than productive feedback. Useless, should retire.

One of the best at Pace.If you're interested in the subject, take him!He does not just use the textbook, but also teaches from Rothbard. Discusses newspaper articles in the beginning of class.You will have to do a reasonable amount of work to get an A.He tries to answer every question and is very helpful.His grading is fair, clear and transparent.

A bit of a scatterbrain, but he knows the subject well. Tests can be tricky, but you'll do fine if you study. Class can be boring at times, but also interesting. If you read the text go to class, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get a B or better.

A very good teacher, knows his stuff well. Makes the class interesting, but isn't always prepared, and sometimes assigns vague assignments. Nonetheless, a great professor, will give you an A if you can write well, and he's available for extra help when you need it.

Comment:
What is an economics professor doing teaching Finance? Has no business teaching this course. Only cares about his own opinion and teaches straight from the textbook. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS. Uses old material and does not care what you have to say if it is not in line with his thinking. He should stick to Economics.

Comment:
Agree with the other posters - has no interest in hearing any opinion that doesn't mimic his own. Is downright abrasive to students at times. Also doesn't seem to believe in the concept of giving "partial credit" on exams, even though he will say that he does. Do not recommend him at all!

Very tough when it comes to exams. Consider taking another instructor. Do not let his nonchalant appearance fool you. Read and complete all assignments. Tough instructor.

Reads straight from the textbook. Tries to trick the students when it comes to test questions. Tough grader and not in touch with the real world. Doesn't want to hear anything that is not in line with his own opinion. Doesn't have a good reputation. Try to avoid him.

Ignore most of these people. If you want to learn about economics and how they apply to the real world than this is the guy to take. Very clear, concise and helpful. He prepares you well for the tests also. One of the best I've had at Pace.

Best prof. I've had at Lubin so far. Cut and dry, teaches you what you need to know- effectively. You'll learn a lot, and will get an A if you keep up with the reasonable amount of work.
