Geske is without a doubt the worst, absolute WORST professor I have EVER had, on any subject, at any level, in my 17+ years of schooling. I cannot underscore the following enough: AVOID this professor like the plague. The man may be extremely knowledgable, but it will prove you NO consolation when you see that he has absolutely NO regard for your learning. He doesn't appear to want to be in the classroom, he doesn't appear to care if you get it or not. He is not open to ANY suggestions students make on how to make the course more effective for their learning. It is actually difficult to review this professor and still abide by the guidelines of this website, so I'm not sure whether this will post. The assignments were basic/straightforward, and he isn't a particularly hard grader, but his lectures consist of him *reading* (Bueller...Bueller) from his own notes, which he passes out to the class beforehand anyway. Essentially, unless you read slower in your head than the average person does out loud, you gain *nothing* by going to his classes. If you want to learn about finance (or his specialty, options markets), you are better off getting a textbook and teaching yourself. Homework assignments are problems from the textbook, time consuming but not totally unmanageable. He will outline what he says he'll put on his exams, then include things he explicitly said he wouldn't. He once neglected to show up for his OWN lecture! The professor in essence played hooky. I heard a rumor that he was ill, but no email sent out by support staff, nothing. I can promise you this: you can teach yourself finance better than Geske can. He may KNOW it......but by Joe Bruin he cannot teach it, and sadly doesn't appear to want to.
