Was very surprised by the comments, as he's an amazing professor. He knows what he's talking about and makes his class so interesting and funny you will WANT to come. He's also very accessible if you have any questions. The tests are a bit tough as 80% of the grade will be MCQ and T/F, but grading is fair (work hard you'll get an A). Learnt a lotFIN3301 2016-12-15 14:37:13 +0000 UTC
Don't take him. Agree with what the other posters have said. Your grade comes down to how you perform on the TF sections of his two exams. You could get everything else right, but easily end up with a B if you get 4-5 of his confusing TF wrong. northeastern has much better professors, certain Osmond teaches because he can't do anything else3301 2014-12-09 15:20:22 +0000 UTC
Worst class I've taken so far in grad school. I basically taught myself everything from the book because the only thing he did in class was berate the students for asking questions. Very rude.FINA6200 2013-04-24 14:00:48 +0000 UTC
Professor Osmond teaches a grad course at WIT. Smart guy, keeps a face pace in lectures, which makes class go by quickly.MGMT810 2012-11-13 20:08:19 +0000 UTC
I am suprised at the bad reviews he has. He is wonderful, very accessible, however don't take 1 hour classes but 1h40. In general his grading is fair, and clear. His grading is pretty tough if you do badly on the MCQ/TF parts of his exams, but I'd really recommend him, you do have to work for the grade, but it is worth it, learned a lot.FIN3301 2016-12-10 12:27:11 +0000 UTC
Really great guy. Not my best professor per se, but overall a cool dude to talk to with some interesting stories. The class is incredibly dry/boring, there's very little to do other than sit and listen and you'll want to fall asleep - BUT I found his grading structure fair. His tests are difficult, but bearable if you study well.FIN3301 2016-09-06 18:05:57 +0000 UTC
Osmond is a tough grader that usually does not even explain why you lost points. You have absolutely no idea what tests are going to be like. I would not recommend this class as it is much more difficult than it needs to be.FIN3301 2014-11-21 08:09:10 +0000 UTC
