Comment:

Marked like it was a fourth year course. Quizzes always had curveballs. Asked him for my grade before the exam and told me to calculate it myself, which tells me he didn't know what it was or was just too lazy to get it. Not a good prof. BORING lectures.

Has a monotone voice and lowers your guard by making the first midterm much easier than the second but overall I would take another course with him.

Really nice and easy marker He wrote the textbook as well. He goes over all the tests and exams really well before hand making most of them nice and easy. Just focus on practice test and try to have questions, assignment and tests from previous years as much as you can and you will do well

Comment:

You will use your textbook a lot in first year. He doesn't use the book much after that. To be fair, it is a fantastic textbook. I have taken a lot more econ and this is by far superior. This professor is absolutely amazing. He really makes the material accessible and understandable.
