Charles Corocan
University of Wisconsin - River Falls
Department:
Finance
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
He is not as bad as everyone makes him seem. Show up to class and read the book and you should do just fine. He curves his tests and they are all multiple choice. I think he is an excellent teacher if you just pay attention and try.

Is interesting/entertaining/funny
Is challenging

He is the worst professor I have ever had. In fact, he might well be the worst professor on the face of the earth... at least, I hope he is because if there could possibly be a worse prof than Corcoran, the state of education in this country would be a complete shambles. His curriculum, regardless of the course description, is this: You must become a Liberal thinker. The slides consist of sunday paper cartoon after cartoon. He calls these cartoons 'examples'. What does "An Inconvenient Truth" have to do with finance? His rants against smoking are pitiful. Honestly, this guy has no business being paid to do what he does. I'm embarrassed for humanity.

Charley isn't as bad as people say. If you spend even an hour studying for his exams you shouldn't get less than a B. I'll agree, his grading scale is messed up. Show up to class, study a little bit, you'll do fine. I got an A.
