Much better for 101 than 102. 102 lectures were confusing and boring.

Comment:

Thought he was funny and engaging for Econ 101. Enthusiastic about material. Lectures got long at times though. The material was not that difficult and going to lecture was not necessary to do well in the class.

Comment:

If you like sleeping during lecture he is the professor to have! Dull lights of Lorch Hall combined with his monotone and boring material almost always results in an hour and a half nap!

Comment:

I had professor Bice for econ 101 and 102 and I have no complaints. He basically goes over all the material twice and you can print lecture notes offline. If you put some effort forth in this class you should have no trouble.

Comment:

I have no idea what these other people are talking about, he is awful. I did fine in Econ 101, but this class was so poorly run it is hard to see how anyone did well. DO NOT get this professor, he puts absolutely no effort into the poorly guided class.

Comment:

Okay. Econ 101, 102 are very hard at U of M. But Bice gives you plenty of resources from which to study so that if you put in the time you will do well. Better than Deardoff/Johnson for 102 b/c tests are mult. choice and reasonable.

Comment:

Easily my worst prof this term. So boring, not helful for his tests at all. Worst lectures ever, even when I come with a pot of coffee. 90% of people sleep, terrible teacher, no practical applications of econ, just formulas and theories.

Comment:

He is very enthusiastic and says "that's kinda cool" A LOT!! The problem is goes over the material way to fast. It is as if he thinks he needs to get through a chapter an hour. The exams suck also. The GSI's are no help, maybe 1/100 speak e

Comment:

Bice seems like a good guy. The class isn't interesting - but its econ. He has very detailed lectures which are posted, and helpful. Definetely not an easy class though, I personally didn't enjoy it, but I'm not getting into business either.

Comment:

If you're able to stay awake in his class than you may do alright, oh and it'd probably help to have a GSI that actually speaks english. But good luck on that one and on staying awake in Bice's class (as if econ wasn't boring enough).

Comment:

He is very excited about what he teaches. I feel bad for him because so many students walk out of lecture early, but I can sympathize with them as well. Bice is extremely nice, boring, but he will teach you if you can stay awake and listen.

Comment:

He is a nice guy and is O.K. as a teacher. But there is just one problem. He had this amazing way of putting me to sleep every class (no matter how much sleep I had the night before). Simply put he is the most boring man I've ever met.
