First off, i recommend this class to anyone interested in a career in finance. You literally learn the same types of valuation models that investment banks and real estate companies use. As far as Litt, I thought his class was fair. The tests are time-pressured, so download an old midterm from his old class websites to get an idea of what to do, since he doesn't change the material that much. His lectures are okay. He tends to move through stuff quickly so it helps to stay up with the readings and homework. The final was almost entirely based on his lectures, but if you go to class, do the HW, take good notes, do well on the case projects (which are cool if you're good at Excel and interested in finance) then you'll get that A. I thought the class was easier than any of the accounting classes I've taken, but then again, this is a finance class, not accounting.
