Prof. Kauffman is a great teacher, his teaching style and funny yet caring personality distinguishes him from other professors and I would maybe consider taking a class with him again. However, the midterm and final (should you choose to do them over a presentation) are graded quite tough with exact expected written answers.

Professor Kauffman was amazing! He really cares about his students and his lectures are very interesting. I would definitely take another class from him.

Professor Kauffman truly cares for his students and is an amazing lecturer. He incorporates jokes with students during the lecture to further foster a positive class environment. You can either do a multiple choice midterm or do a presentation with your team.

Absolutely my favorite course and teacher I've had at UCSB. He's a phenomenal lecturer and his lectures have a ton of applicable information coming from his background in wealth management. There are student presentations for one class each week which can be a bit dull sometimes but I always look forward to classes where he lectures.

I highly recommend taking Professor Kauffman's Classes. He really cares for his students. He wants them to do well in life (as well as in class). As for the actual class, you learn valuable advice for actual life and I thought his lectures explain everything well. If you show up and put in some work you'll get a lot out of the class.

This prof is super nice. If you participate in class, you'll get an A. Have to be okay with giving presentations (it's 60% of your grade).
