Lorenzo Naranjo

Best professor I have had at WashU. You can tell he really wants to be there, no matter the time of day. Always responds to emails in a timely manner. Also, just an interesting guy, loves to talk about his coding passions and honestly inspired me to learn how to code and to take more math classes. Best prof I have had at WashU. Fair exams and HW.

2 or less hrs/week

Naranjo doesn’t have formal assignments / homework so the week of a final exam is a grind. Lots of abstract concepts so that’s why I believe it harder than another traditional finance class. Not too bad if you have an excel that can help with the problems. Professor is very passionate and has a lot of energy! Kinda hard to follow though if you aren’t caught up :/
