Comment:
Good professor with a ton of knowledge. However, not everyone was born to teach. The plus is that there is no homework or group projects. Also he gives you the midterm and final questions ahead of time, so all you have to do is prepare for them and be ready for any 8 that he might pick!

Comment:
Great professor, go to his class, talk with him. There is no home work. But there was a group project and presentation which counts for 20/20. And the exams are essays. Not exactly an easy class, but ABSOLUTELY worth it, if you're are interested in derivatives and so on....

Larrain, is one of the best professors at Pace, a former high level executive with Bank of America, his real world experience is top notch. You will learn from him, not just text book material but real world material. Exams are essay only, your graded against the class, if you know your material your good. Register early his classes fill up fast!

Comment:
His class is basically consisted of 1.)attendance, 2.)midterm 3.)final, and 4.)group presentation. He doesn't assign homework and all his notes are available on blackboard. He doesn't clarify what he is seeking for in his exams, which are all in short answers but not multiple choices. Take him only if you have to.

Comment:
Larrain, is good not great. He gets off track often and his grading scale isn't all that clear as he states he grades students against other students, Getting an A isn't that hard, but he really isn't what others say he is, you will learn more from other professors. I've had him for two courses he is just not that great of a professor, he is good.

Awesome professor. Grade based on midterm and final. Questions for each given in advance. Talks about relevant topics and gives interesting lectures. Also a wealth on knowledge during office hours, if you have industry-related questions. Really knows his stuff. Understanding and accomodating. Take him!

Larrain is the BEST LUBIN PROFESSOR. I had him for 3 finance classes in 1 semester and they were all exactly how college finance courses should be. The guy is a genius with tons of real world experience. Keeps the class interesting with humor. No hw. 2 exams with the questions GIVEN on the first day. The class is what you make of it. TAKE LARRAIN!

This class was super easy! He lectures the typed up notes he gives out. Takes attendance. Midterm and final exams no quizzes. The midterm and final exam questions are given prior, you basically have to write essays to answer each questions. Just type up exam questions prior and study ur answer and you'll be fine!

I have taken Professor Larrain for every single Finance course I could. He is an amazing, knowledgeable, experienced man and wants his students to do well. He explains things clearly and he gives you 8 essay questions to prepare, 3 of which he puts on his exams. He is funny too!

Professor Larrain is awesome professor. If you listen to him carefully, you might not even need to read the book. I would recommend to buy the book, though, this way you will get a lot from this course. His lectures are interesting and crystal clear. I think he is the best professor in the Finance department and very very nice person.

Comment:
Classes w Larrain r all easy A's. The only thing w this guy is that he's completely boring n its difficult to stay awake. He gives notes right out of the txt word 4 2word. It pays off going 2 class bc the answers 2 exam comes straight from his notes n he filters out all the bullsh** from the txt. Exam ques r given be4 hand. A lot of memorizing.

This professor is not hard at all. He is very boring however. He teaches exactly right out of the book most of the semester other than a few topics which are not in the book. Midterm and final are 3 out of 4 q's which he tells you in advance to prepare. Attendance mandatory! but nice guy tries to make jokes.

Comment:
Larrain does not teach, he goes off on tangents for half the class and writes extensive notes on the board for the other half. You answer 3 out of 4 theoretical questions for both the midterm and final. Guaranteed B, and if you are good at memorizing a lot of material it is possible to get an A.

All you have to do is come to class, take notes, memorize them and write three essays for both the midterm and final. If you are good at memorizing, take him. I did not even buy the book, got an A.
