Professor Voss is a great instructor. He is super clear in what he expects and gives reasonable tests. Would take again.

The class material is not super hard, but the professor gives hard quizzes, midterms and final. The quizzes only 10 minutes but for 5-6 questions. And he does not give any curves.

Professor Voss is a great professor. Summer sessions go by really quickly and its a lot of material but Professor Voss makes it manageable. The breakdown was 30% Quizzes, 30% Midterm, 40% Final. We had quizzes every week except for the weeks we had exams. Assignments with practice problems were given during section and the problems were relevant to the exams. He writes fair exams and if you study the assignment problems then you'll be set for the exam. Definitely ask questions where you need to, Professor Voss will take the time to explain! He's an easygoing professor and all he really expects is for the students to put effort into the class and learn the material.

Quarter: Winter 2023
Grade: A
April 4, 2023

Not an easy class, but the professor is nice, and his lecture notes and slides are super clear. Quiz and midterm are close book, and final allows a one-page cheat sheet. However, this is not math-oriented course, it basically teaches you fundamental financial derivatives, not recommend to students who want to study math fina in depth. Recommend those who want to know more about fina and target in the secondary market

Quarter: Fall 2022

Dec. 15, 2022

He is such a gem. Like wow I will miss him next quarter. He seriously made me smile in class. Take the class because its a useful link between math and financial derivatives, but mostly for him. He is the best, really cares about his students and keeps things fair, for real. His office hours are super helpful, and he is super down to earth. He explains things very well, his slides are thorough and clear, and exams are very fair. Quizzes every other week with one dropped, no homework, midterm and final. The material on quizzes and exams come pretty much straight from assignment sheets done in discussion, so show up and understand those and you’ll be fine. He’s not trying to trick you, just wants you to learn the material and its applications. I had Ming Tao as my TA and he is also super great. Both are overall just so charming and sweet. They want you to learn and do well, and are very reassuring. Take this class with Voss, he’s amazing!!!

In the remote setting, Voss does a good job of teaching and testing students.

Quizzes were timed but manageable as long as you studied the last week’s homework assignment. The midterm exam was 24 hours and rather easy. The final was also 24 hours and slightly harder, and it took a lot of time because one of the problems was very tedious.

Be sure to keep up with the class even at the end, as some of the most challenging material appears at the very end of the class and will be heavily tested.
