Get ready to write a lot, but you'll learn lots. Clearly passionate about what he's teaching, which is a marked change from many professors at Pace. Great guy and easy take-home final that's just like the homeworks but with longer answers.

Students have 4 HWs, and 2 exams (one midterm & final). The HWs are around 35 questions with long and short answer responses needed. The lectures are recorded, attendance is NOT mandatory. He gives PPT slides and you can watch his lecture videos to do the HW. *NO TEXTBOOK! He's a good teacher, what you put in is what you get. I could've done more.

loved him! i dreaded taking finance but he made it easier than i could ever imagine. gives several hw assignments throughout the semester but it is exactly what he talks about in class (i do the hw during class). he is happy to see students in his office hours. could not recommend him enough. show up, do the work, and you should get an A

Just reread the lectures and that's where the hw answers are. Test is ok but what matters is the hw which are 12% of the grade.

Best professor I've ever had. Amazing lecturer, class is very discussion-focused. Makes sure you really understand. Great stories, super intelligent, very accessible, very caring. Do the work and make an effort and you'll be set. Slack off and avoid participating and he'll notice. No actual textbook but 3 books to read throughout the semester.

Professor Morey's class was one of the few that has made college worth it so far. He is genuinely passionate about his lessons, and willing to explain anything until his students reach a practical level of comprehension. He makes finance sound as relevant and interesting as it apparently is. Attendance isn't mandatory, but really helps with exams.

Initially took Finance 260 with another high rated professor but it didn't click so I dropped it and decided to take it later. Morey was great from the start. Lectures can be a bit boring but he tries to make them interesting and does give some fun examples. Plus he'll try to break up the lectures with videos. Tests weren't too bad either.

If you go to class and do not listen to him then you won't know the specifics of things he wants in exams. Professor Morey is a real gem among all the Lubin finance professors, so far the greatest I have had. He offers a unique perspective and is so knowledgeable so he expects the same from his students. No mediocre work or effort will get you an A

He just talks for the whole class. His tests are hard because there isn't enough time to write over 1000 words and he grades hard. If you want to succeed you would need at least one week of studying for his tests, so if you have many other classes you would need a lot of time management. Pay a lot of attention and ask questions. Good luck.

The 5 in difficulty is for the amount of work, ten 1000 word plus essays for 60% of the grade, most tedious class I had by far. All he does in class is reading ppts which are plagiarized from the books. The exam is a 10 random questions from a 70 question selection, all essay based for 35% of the grade. Last 5% is quizzes. Try another class <3

He's an easy A. He lets you skip like 6 classes and his tests are straight from PP. The study guides are long but honestly I never paid attention and skipped all the classes we were allowed to and I got a B. Would've gotten an A but I purposely didn't study for the 2 math exams because he gives automatic 50 on every exam as long as you take it.

Do not take him!!! He gives unfair treatment to his students that he likes. The class is solely based off of 6 exams that together are worth 92% of your grade. There is no textbook or tutor. Attendance is mandatory and only affects your grade if you miss class. Worst professor I've had at Pace. Unless you love exams every 2 weeks don't take him.

Quite possibly the best professor I have taken at Pace. He really doesn't belong here to be honest, Pace doesn't deserve him. There is no self-learning in this class if you pay attention in class. Incredible lectures that made finance very interesting and that was his goal anyway. He often repeats material over and over again, hard to fail. )

Morey was a great professor. He is willing to help during his office hours, and his teaching style is very engaging. You always know what to expect on exams, but there's a lot of writing. He's more into behavioral finance; so if you want traditional finance, Morey may not be for you. He has a unique personality, and his passion for teaching shows.

Professor Morey is an absolute gem. He teaches finance from a real perspective. He saves you money by not requiring a text, and the class is pretty simple if you go to class, pay decent attention. If you're interested in the material, it hardly feels like a class. Also, he's a very good and understanding person.

There really is no way to fail this class if he gives you a sample of the essay questions before the exams themselves - there really, truly isn't. Even if attendance isn't mandatory, go to class, read the powerpoints, watch the videos; this is a solid way to gain an A. Brush up on your writing skills as well - most of the exams are essays.

He's a great professor! I am not a Finance major but it's a required course for Lubin students. HE makes it a lot more enjoyable and interesting to learn. He hates grades so he curves but he wants to make sure you are learning the material.

Decent professor. Not someone I would take as a finance major. His classes are opinion based. Great videos to watch but he won't ask significant questions. More like what color car a certain person drove. He does make you work for your grade - but he teaches based a lot on his own opinion. Take him if you are NOT a finance major.

He was a great professor, and makes it super easy to pass the class. His lectures aren't boring. If you miss class everything is on the lecture notes, but it's way better when he explains it.
