Comment:
I took this class online. Be prepared to teach yourself Corporate Finance and don't expect any help unless you and your classmates band together. Reaching out to the professor will only get you comments of read your textbook and the lecture. Maxing out the discussion boards and studying all week is the only way to pass this class. Run Away!!!

Hands down the most difficult course of my academic career. 1st and 2nd exams are only 50 mins. 30 questions, 1 question at it time. More than half of the class failed. The final exam was 1:30 mins, 40 questions very hard as well. The only way to pass this class is STUDYING! A group chat with classmates was helpful, also do your discussion boards.

Save your money and AVOID this professor at all costs! My final grade was a whole letter grade lower than what my points showed. I had an 87% and he gave me a C. His Grading criteria looks like this: Exam 1 25%, Exam 2 25%, Exam 3 25%, DB's(14 of them) 25%.

Comment:
I took this course online due to Covid-19. If you take this course online you will be graded solely on discussion boards and the three exams. DB's close on Saturday 9pm so make sure you post and respond to two other people before then. This is not a class I recommend taking online, I know how to solve the formulas but don't know when to apply them.

Took him online for long summer and I felt as though Id learned a lot. I didnt have a problem with him. I would read the chapter assigned and do the discussion boards. I felt I learned the most with the homework packet and talking with my classmates. Be watching those due dates and time the assignments are due!!

Im kind of surprised by the reviews here. I took Professor Schaffer online and he didnt seem too bad? He would update us every day with something new, and would respond to emails pretty quick if I ever had a problem. Hes a tough grader and makes you really work for it, but hes not awful! Do your DBs, homework packet, and test. Youll be fine.

Comment:
The toughest professor of all time, do not take him at all costs. DBU should ban a professor like him, very unclear on assignments and gives benefits for specific students. He threatened a student who talked to the dean. If you ask for help he will laugh at your face. He will disgracefully judge you based on the first test exam. He is obnoxious

Comment:
Professor Schaffer was a very difficult teacher. He lacked in the teaching part and was unclear when assigning homework, DB, and case studies. Even though he was caring, I feel like he didn't have a balance in his teaching. I agree that this is college and studying is part of what you need to do, but he was excessive.

Hes a tough one, but its college. If you arent working your butt off, you arent getting your moneys worth of the class (and DBU is overpriced). Suck it up, take the class, do the work for once in your degree. The B+ I got in this class was the proudest accomplishment of my degree. He teaches things youll use if you can learn the material.

Comment:
Take him with caution. Very, very quirky. He will punish you if you do not attend the lectures, which are typically rife with upper-level dad jokes and random stories about his life. He can break down the material decently. He cares about students, but he's too idealistic for grace. As a lawyer, he is extremely legalistic about every aspect.

Worst mistake I ever made taking this class. Avoid at all costs. I made a D in this class and was teaching my study group the material before the tests. Keep in mind, I've never made so much as a B- or C in my life, and I made a D in this class. Ruined my entire GPA. Take it from me and find another teacher!!!

By far the worst professor I have had in my academic career. Avoid this professor at all costs. He even gets on here and makes up his own post saying he's a great teacher. A complete shame to education, he is a professor for the occupation and not a passion for students.

The class is just to hard and many students complained about him. Grading is not fair and he requires too much. I received a zero for not taking a non required post test :(.

You have a grade of 89.8 and he would round up down to a 89 for the final grade. He doesn't give your test back. His online test doesn't allow back tracking. Staff he teach, not so hard. The way he run his class? worst I ever had. DO NOT chose him!

The class is made more difficult by the fact the syllabus is constructed by a week to week basis. I would read a particular case study, but never actually know when I would need to answer his specific question within class, that was for a grade. He's the first professor I've had do cumulative tests.

Comment:
Online class only has exams and discussion posts for grades. Exams only allow you to see 1 question at a time and can't go back to review your work once you move to next question. DB posts are practice probs you create then work peers practice probs. If not good with math classes, it's hard to know if the work is correct bc he doesnt give feedback.
