Comment:

He wants you to succeed on tests and assignments so he makes them fair (easy if you read the textbook). It isn't beneficial to go to his classes because he gets off track and losses focus often. Assignments, tests and exam is easy if you read the textbook.

Nice guys and knows a lot about Economics. Not the easiest man to understand and notes can be kind of confusing. His quizzes and assignments are easy and he is willing to help you out if you need it. Overall, I would definitely recommend him, but don't fall behind on your classwork.

Comment:

Mumbles a lot, hard to understand. Notes are hard to read, tiny writing and very jumbled. Use the textbook a lot. He does care a lot for student success, but you really need to work on it in your own time.

Awesome Prof. He really cares about his students and he wants everyone to succeed. More Prof's need to be like him. The weekly homework and quizzes keep you up to date with the material, making sure you never fall behind, once the final comes its a easy A

Comment:

Very nice guy and interesting to go to class to hear the random funny things he says. He is hard to follow a lot of the time but between class and textbook the assignments and test aren't bad and through these the final is fine. Everything is multiple choice. Must put effort into the class but if you do you will pass fine.

love his classes.He is very nice and easily approachable. He cares very much for his student success. Although he may not be great at explaining a qustion you have in class, just go see him in his office or write on the discussion page. he is very helpful.

I enjoy his classes, he does not do well with explaining things but he cares about his students and really does try to help out. The homework assigned is helpful and gets you ready for the final. His notes are great too.

Comment:

Some people say they had difficulty. I found that while he did stutter, and was prone to digression from course material, he had a genuine concern for student success. his method of lots of assignments and lots of quizzes (1/week each) kept engagement in material. very approachable. go to class, do the work, then he makes it easy.

I did most of my learning during the homework assignments. The lectures didn't help a whole lot. Be sure to get the textbook as soon as possible!

Extremely hard to follow, does not speak clearly and can not keep on one subject at a time. His notes are all over the place, hes not organized. Smart man, does not know how to teach. always attend class, READ READ READ the book! if you ever need help whenever he is in his office he will most likely help you. overall, not so good.

He is really funny and helpful.The homework assignments are really good for understanding the material.If you have trouble he'll give you the answer. He gave us three extra quizzes to boost our mark.Final is hard but if you do well on assignments and tests then you'll still can manage to get a good mark.

Knowledgeable guy but doesn't really teach that well if at all sometimes. Been around awhile and kind of comes across as lazy that said he has some interesting insights on things. Not terrible but not great either.

Comment:

Good prof, hard to understand but funny! Classes can be a bit of a bore but study the text and you will pass. All homework and Quiz questions come straight from the notes (which he posts online) and the text. If you do your homework well then you will have no problem passing the quiz. Took him for Econ 1013&1023, would take another class with him.

Comment:

Very difficult to undestand if you have no prior ecperience with economics. Lot's of HW about 2-3 hours a week plus a quiz once a week. The positive is 40% of you rmark is based on HW and quizes. Best 8 out of 10. I did get an A but I worked really hard. No mid-term.

Comment:

Very funny self-deprecating sense of humour that will surprise you; however, he's a bit hard to follow in class. Fortunately, his assignment workbook and his online notes are very helpful, which made this course extremely easy to get an A+. If you read the text, then he might make sense to you. He is tries hard to to be a good prof and to help you.

His classes are very hard to understand, but the assignments and quizzes are a lot easier if you study the book. I also think he can be funny in his own way.
