Comment:

Class was extremely boring and but he did a good job at explaining the material, but that meant nothing when it came to the exams. The tests were hard but he curves them to the point that a 48% is equivalent to a B. I don't know how I got a B+ in the class, but I'm not complaining b/c my overall average for the class was about a 60%.

Comment:

Real nice guy. Unfortunately his tests are impossible and his lectures tend to bore. I've caught myself napping more than once. He curves the tests almost as if he knows students will fail the test.

Comment:

I didn't do too well in the class, but I'm an education major. Not into Econ. I didn't do the homework and I studied a little. He curves a lot, which was helpful because the tests seem impossible. I heard he helps you if you ask, I just never did. I was intimidated by the class in general!

Comment:

He is an extremely intelligent guy and knows everything there is to know about Microeconomics. However he is to smart 2 be communicating to college students. He met with me whenever I needed help which was a lot. He will go out of his way to help you. Curves tests. Difficult subject no matter what.

Not very helpful; not very clear ... but massive curves on tests and an easy final got me my B. Doesn't make a dull course very interesting. Not a great teacher.

As far as real teachers matter, this one made an impact. I can only hope to be as intelligent as he is when I am finished. As long as you made a real attempt, he was there for you. Only useless lazy stoners didn't get him.

He's is so helpful and will go the extra mile to make sure you understand the material. If you listen to the lectures you should have no problem, unless you're stupid. I just loved him!
