Comment:
Good class, I plan on doing my mba someday. Learned finance and it was so interested. Little bit hard at the time. So much professor drama. Good going for office hours. loved my Biology professor. Not too good at taking tests. Loved school. I graduated in 2002. I am getting control of my finances. Learned to present in class.

Comment:
Sarkis Khoury is a bad professor who does not teach students how to understand the problems. Beware of UCR's summer school because UCR administration does not tell the truth about the fees students have to pay for summer school. Many of my friends do not know that they must pay the summer school fees like a whole academic quarter with new fees.

Looking back on my 4 years at UCR, 2002-2006, Khoury is the most interesting and most inspiritng professor I've had. His teachings are very intelectually stimulating and opened my mined to many new possibilities. He got me excited about the possibilites in finance and derivatives. He gave out extra credit for helping his research, I got A+

Khoury class is so boring and his lecture does not help you at all. His exams are really difficult and you will never get a good grade. He is worst teacher in Riverside. DON'T take his class unless you want a D or F for final grade

Khoury is very tough but worth paying attention to, if you go to class ready to learn then you can pick up alot... his tests are stupid hard though and have questions on info that he only mentions in passing... he doesn't go by the book so take decent notes and pay attention in class, i got a B- with no reading and little studying

Comment:
Very difficult teacher. He does not use the book at all. The class is 50% Midterm and 50% final. Our class MT average was 55%. He's not helpful during office hours and thinks extremely highly of himself. Very egotistical and promotes his book during lecture. He also puts down other in his field.

Comment:
He's a good teacher that teaches a good stuff. However he talks every fast, so you have to be extremely concentrate.The midterm is hard and does not quite reflect the materials, but the final is fine. The text book is useless. Try to read the book he wrote. He teaches according to it!!!

He has a HUGE Ego and thinks of himself as a wall street genious, but the truth is far from that. He doesn't follow the book at all but reading it helped me understand the material better. AVOID HIM!!! Your gonna be pissed if you dont!

AVOID at all cost! when not mentioning the fact that he wrote a book and you can buy it on amazon he is very inteligent but does not convey well. He has a definite ego issue and is out to feel better about himself. thats why he lost when he ran for public office!!!!

Comment:
Khoury is the best finance professor that we have at UCR and it is not even close. He demands alot from his students and that is the way it should be. Finance is a difficult subject and Khoury went to Wharton School of Business which is the best school in the world for finance. If you do not want to be challenged go to the University of Phoenix!

While Khoury won't entertain you, he does know his stuff. You will have to work hard in this class, but you will walk away with a clear understanding of the subject material. Slackers need not apply.

AVOID HIM AT ALL COST!!! Worst professor ever! I don't mind a hard professor as long as is good but he is not!!! He never follows the book, not helpful at office hours, expect us to know everything, never post the grades and TAs dont know what he is doing. I passed his class but it was a total struggle. DONT TAKE HIM OR YOU'LL BE SORRY

Khoury and this course were garbage. he is ignorant and can't answer questions because he doesn't know a lot. tried to intimidate students to cover up his ignorance. he does not help during office hours. he does not post any notes online. i also think u should avoid him and DO NOT TAKE HIM AT ALL!! he also seems like a terrible, angry human being.

Whoever that's complaining about him should drop off UCR and go attend comunity colleges or something. If you think he is hard, then you shouldn't belong to UC.

He was one of the hardest professors I've ever had, but it was worth it. I gained a lot of knowledge from taking this class. The class grade is based off one midterm and the final. I failed the midterm, but still ended up getting a B+ in the class.

Since im an Engineering Major i thought his class was excellent and challenging, it requires you to study (YES BUSINEES MAJORS) you actually have to read a little but dont worry its for your own good...Study for his exams and make sure you get use to some math problems, and you should pass this class

Hardest teacher yet.... thanks to him I got placed in academic prohibation. Says you don't need the book just take notes and attend class but in all reality that didn't help. I went to class everyday and got a D-. His class only consist of two exams if you know finance...take him otherwise he's not helpful even during his office hours.
