Reviews for Michael Lester Finch
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: BMGT311 Grade Expected: A August 9, 2011, 1:00 pm | Oh Mike Finch. He truly didn't care about making sure his students were comfortable with material. He got mad when we didn't read chapter beforehand, so he punished us by only half teaching the subject. His exams were hardest ones I've ever taken. The averages were horrible, and insisted that he was not going to curve course (even though in end he did). This was a complete nightmare of a class, and a whole ton more stressful than 310. For sure take with different Professor. |

He really knows how to teach and is very very engaging (he remembers our names by the second day of class). The exams are very challenging but you really get a lot of of his class. If you really want to learn accounting, take classes with Finch. Again, not the easiest professor but great learning experience! |

If you're looking for a class you can go and just look at the internet because the powerpoints are online he is not the guy for you. He really teaches students, writing on the board rather than using power points given to him by the textbook. Does not check homework, but bases class off questions from the homework so it is a good idea to come in with some questions. You will usually get out off class about 15 minutes early because he makes very effective use of class time. The tests are challenging and he has said that he does not curve. He is a HUGE movie buff and likes to quote movies in class. Also tells some funny stories. Really tough to get an A in his class, but you will walk away feeling as though you have learned something. A really great professor, but not an easy class. |

| terpinator Course: BMGT321 Grade Expected: B November 26, 2008, 7:01 am | The entire grade for the class was based on 3 exams and an arbitrary 10% participation grade. The exams were much tougher than the practice homework problems or what was taught in class. The material was pretty dry and so were the lectures. I personally don't know of anyone who received an A in this class. I would STRONGLY suggest taking this class with a different professor. |
