Dr. Long is a nice guy, cares about helping his students, and answers any questions you have quickly and clearly. I wouldn't say anything about him is exceptional, but he is a solid choice of a professor. He won't throw any surprises on you.

Take him. He's hilarious and you can tell that he shows up to work to help his students. Super accessible. Will answer any question, any time. Only assignments are 3 tests but he spells the test out for you in the review during the class before the exam. He's the best!

Dr. Long is a very likable professor and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He does a good job of explaining the topics and also has a good sense of humor. He can break down complex scenarios into easy-to-understand notions. I would take him again for future finance classes.

I took Dr. Long for investments I. He is a brilliant man and maybe even a little too smart to communicate everything with his students. He is a guy I would want to take in an upper level class and hear how much he really knows. Cool guy though, I'd get a beer with him if I had the chance.

Awesome teacher. He is very smart and knows what he is talking about. As long as you show up to class and follow along and ask questions you are golden. He will help you almost any time of day. I definitely suggest you to take him if you can.

Great Professor! Gives study guides and tests straight from them. He is one of the most accommodating Professors at UTC. Work the class problems, book problems, and learn the study guide and you will get an A. No surprises or trick questions on the tests.I highly recommend him if you want to learn finance.

I took Dr. Long for both Financial management and Investments. Dr. Long knows more about Financial than anyone I have ever known, I really enjoyed his class and I felt I learned the most in his classes. If you are serious about finance, Dr Long should be your prime choice. He knows his stuff and will challenge you. Random Walk will help you too

First of all, Dr. Long knows his stuff when it comes to finance. This course can be hard if you do not come to class. Come to class and put some time in studying and he will give you an A. I did not use the book, Instead, study the problems that he does in class and you will get and A. Also write down the conceptual Ideals he goes in class(risk)

Dr. Long is extremely nice, but moves very fast. He is smart and knows what he's doing. I feel like he is too smart to be teaching basic finance. Offers study sessions before exams, but they are during the evening. Gives a study guide that kind of helps.

Very intelligent man, and moves faster than most students can keep up with. Only professor that offers to have separate study session before tests. He makes it clear what he expects students to learn.

Very hard. Should not be teaching intro finance courses... If finance is your major, I highly recommend taking this class from another teacher whereas to give you a stronger foundation.

This class was really hard. The content is very complex and he rushes through everything so fast that it is hard to take notes. Dont even try using the textbook because it is practically incomprehensible.

Comment:
He is one of the worst Finance teachers that I have ever had. He is too smart to be teaching basic finance, so it makes it impossible for intro students to understand. He HAD to offer extra credit throughout the class and a make up test because grades were so bad. Do yourself a favor and DON'T TAKE HIM.

HORRIBLE TEACHER, DO NOT TAKE!!! Half the class was failing throughout the semester. He does not help you out, his tests are impossible and no matter how much you study, you probably won't understand his tests.

Comment:
I've had Dr. Long for several classes, and basically you need to go to class and take notes. He writes on the board 90% of what you need to know for the tests. Helpful on assignments and usually available. More flexible with graduate students than undergrads because more of them are working full-time. Classes aren't thrilling but suck it up and go.

He tries to be fair in his assignments and grading. He prepares you for his tests by referring to questions he will cover. I found him always willing to talk anytime. I think he is a dedicated professor and can teach you if you're willing to learn.
