Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they select a business school, but the educational experience itself is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we profile Robert Howell<\/strong> from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Howell<\/strong> (\u201cFinancial Statement Interpretation and Analysis\u201d) has been teaching for more than 40 years and is quite accomplished in the field of accounting and financial management, having served as chief financial officer of two publicly traded consumer product companies earlier in his career. In addition to teaching the \u201cFinancial Statement Interpretation and Analysis\u201d course, Howell is the faculty advisor to the Tuck Investment Club. A recent graduate told mbaMission, \u201cEveryone takes his class.\u201d For one of the course\u2019s major projects, which occurs near the end of the term, students work in teams to analyze a company and present their recommendation on whether to buy, hold or sell its stock. \u201cProfessor Howell has a sense of humor, and he told students that \u2018it\u2019s better to be directionally right and not precisely wrong,\u2019\u201d shared another recent graduate.<\/p>\n

A second year described Howell to mbaMission as \u201ca character, and a really, really great professor. His classes are very entertaining, and he is strongly opinionated. He makes even diagnosing financial statements fun; he operates on the assumption that these don\u2019t tell you much unless you can unwind them, so it\u2019s a very valuable class. I sometimes see him in the Tuck gym; he\u2019s a really down-to-earth, approachable guy.\u201d Another second-year student likewise spoke highly of Howell, saying, \u201cHe is a fantastic professor.\u00a0The consummate practitioner-scholar, Professor Howell has an unsurpassed ability to simplify and explain complex financial concepts.\u00a0More importantly, Professor Howell teaches a coherent investment philosophy regarding how to make investment decisions.\u00a0I believe that the framework he provides will prove useful long into my career in finance. \u2026 [He] peppers his class discussions with pertinent anecdotes and examples underlying investment principles borne from his deep real-world experience and through his work teaching executives investment concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n
