Every week a group of 5 students stand up in front of our Financial Management class to present their analysis of the weekly case. This week was quite typical.
Watching our professor's face as they present reveals little about how he will react upon the conclusion of the presentation. His brow is furrowed. There is a frown on his face. As the presentation progresses, he scribbles madly upon the handout slides, they will soon be unrecognizable due to the sheer volume of ink.
The team works systematically through the slides. One after another they speak in front of the class. They look slightly nervous, but by now, they should know what to expect. The professor is never thrilled with the result.
Last week's comment, "I don't understand why you guys don't include more financials in your presentation. This is fundamentally a finance class."
This week's comment, "I got lost in the swamp of financial calculations."
What I like about our professor is exactly what most people hate. He is direct, to the point and says exactly what he's thinking. Today's gem of a comment during a particularly long-winded question, "is this a speech or a question?"
Our prof is hard to please, but then again, so are clients. Overall, I look forward to class, but I'm literally terrified thinking about the exam. But that is another story.
