    Overall: A
    No hand holding.  Very interesting, shares insights knowledge and experiences freely with students, genuinely cares, but the course is only for the strong.  If you want an easier grade (but less hard-core learning), take Prof.  Ozbas class of the same course number. 
    Student Competency: Unusually High

    Learned more than any other class I've had in finance.  Exciting and interesting classes, attendance is possibly a record for MBA classes.

    Best Prof.  I've ever had (J.D., MBA and B.S.) The class was hard but entirely relevant.  This Prof.  is the cream of the crop for USC.  I hope he stays, but I don't think USC can afford him.

    very tough class, but most meaningful I've had at USC.  Prof.  Clay just left USC to join a hedge fund in London, GB.  I think it's called 'GSA Capital Partners' or something like that.  USC's loss.  If they keep losing their best professors, they'll continue to slide in the ranks.  Watch and see.

    Prof.  Clay could have given more guidance on the case studies and portfolio formation.  I think he assumed we learned more in intro investments clases than we actually did.  I have tried to keep in contact with Prof.  Clay, he is no longer at USC.  his email is darin.clay@gmail.com

    I do mez.  investing.  Prof.  Clay was the best of all i had at USC.  He was the smartest prof.  there.  he will be missed.  He was very patient with my English problems and had high respect for China and Chinese culture.  he made it hard to cheat in his class so easy for student to avoid conflicts of honor.  I very much respect prof.  clay.
