Hard to understand. Powerpoint's don't cover everything covered in class or textbook. Doesn't give practice questions or practice tests. Confuses students easily.

Comment:

His online slides don't cover all the matieral he discusses in class, so you can't just go off the slides and expect a good grade but its all straight from the textbook anyways. You can tell he just wants everyone to love economics as much as he does.

The slides he uses are straight from the textbook. A lot of the questions on the midterm and final were from the study guide. Really nice prof but not very engaging with lectures.

Comment:

Professor Yousefi is passionate about economics, and it shows in his lectures. He attempts to make them as engaging as possible. He is accessible outside of class, and encourages his students to come to his office hours for extra help. *His accent is not bad at all. Overall, he is a great professor!

Comment:

Super boring unfortunately, you can tell he loves teaching and economics, but doesn't know how to engage the class and students. Nice guy, just very very boring, and goes through slides too slowly. I usually just sat in class and didn't listen, but worked on econ notes at a faster pace

Lectures and textbook are very similar, but make sure you read the textbook because not all material is covered in class. Also buy the handbook because he uses lots of questions from it on exams.

Accent wasn't an issue, but he is rather boring. Strongly recommend stay home and read the textbook, you'll do just as well if not better.

Really nice guy.Knows his stuff well. Repeats everything atleast THRICE,lol,and though it might get annoying at times, the material does get stuck in your head.SUPER EASY tests,just read the textbook REALLY WELL.A lot of MC's frm the study guide, so the study guide also helps. I got 96% on the first midterm, 98% on he second midterm & 96% overall.

Very easy class. All he does is write the textbook on to the blackboard. If that seems boring to you, just read the textbook and don't go to class. I went to 2 classes and almost fell asleep. Instead I just read the material, and did the practice MC questions for 3-5 days before each test and got a 99% overall

This prof uses much of the material from the textbook, he may be confusing at times but is very intellegent. If you have this prof I would advise you to review some of the material in the textbook before class to make learning easier.

What a terrible prof.! I never attend his class and I do better then my friends who go. You can't understand him at all! All he does is repeat the same thing over and over. Take any other prof instead!

If you need an easy grade this is the course for you. Yousefi is hard to understand sometimes and is really boring but he knows his stuff! The text book is expensive but you really dont need it. His notes are a summarized version of the text. And he mostly tests form the notes. He also looks like Eugeene Levy... which can be entertaining!
