Summer 2020 - I took Personal Finance through Sport. This is, by far, the best class I have taken thus far at UCLA. Besides Professor Ravetch being very excited about what he is teaching, he gives practical information. The guests he has lecture each week on the topic that week are experts in the field and extremely knowledgeable. It is a lot of work as it is a summer course, but the work isn't hard. It was very manageable and would be even more so during the academic year. Because it was online, the quizzes were through the textbook site. Much of it was common sense. If you put effort into each assignment like budget, home purchasing, auto loans, insurance, etc. - you will get so much out of it. I have already used what I learned in investments about aggressive vs. passive investing and have benefited greatly from it. With the online textbook, you have the option to pay $30 more and get the binder version. I did that and will keep that as a reference, as it has great information that you can use throughout life and careers. I would HIGHLY recommend this course and this professor. For this particular class, he uses a sports twist, so many of the speakers are affiliated with some type of sports business or non profit, or team.

Summer 2017 - John is absolutely the most memorable guy I met this summer in UCLA. He DOES care a lot about the students' thoughts, and tries out every possible way to bring out student's initialness. Class activities are fun and reflective, and it helps you to meet different guys in this class. I will recommend mgt180 and mgt182 taught by him to your guys. However, the textbook is not that fun to read, and the final exam seems quite casual. Hope you enjoy the class with John!
