Very hard class! He is extremely unorganized and his tests are very difficult! If you understand econ, you might do well, otherwise it is very tough! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I don't know what everyone is talking about on here. This guy is a show, he has some great stories that will help you remember things. He likes cigarettes, guns, and free markets. Taking him for ECO 165 next!

Forrester is the WORST teacher I have ever had. He is mean and unhelpful. Thanks to him and his UNCLEAR grading techniques I have my first D ever.

The class is so hard. he doesnt explain he lectures at all. He can be funny through but I would never take him for another class. His tests are very unclear, so good luck if you have him.

Wilson is an energetic teacher and really tries his best to help his students learn and understand the material. If you keep up with class and study, the tests aren't too hard.

Forrester is an interesting teacher. He will help you if you ask. At times he can be unclear and quick to teach. But, you lazy complaining morons should read the god damn chapter before you come to class. Its college. Its not ment for dumbasses.take it

Comment:

This is not a bad class and he's not a terrible teacher. But he is a pompous jerk. He needs to stick to economics and forget his personal views while in the classroom. I liked the guy at first but now I can't stand him.

Forrester is an awesome teacher!! The class is fun, the material is incredibly easy. For the most part, the teacher doesn't decide your grade anyway, you do. So study and shut up.

Comment:

This guy can be pretty funny at times, but he is also pretty confusing. He teaches at a very fast pace and tries to simplify things perhaps too much somtimes. Also, if you don't print off his notes you'll be totally lost in class.

Comment:

Macro is a confusing class. He makes it a little more interesting with his weird mannerisms. Yes, the graphs are confusing and they are not used directly on the tests but if you can relate them you will do well. Overall good teacher.

Comment:

I honestly don't think his tests are very hard. Alot of macro is common sense, and if you use this, you will do fine. Every eco 155 teacher has horrible ratings, but he atleast keeps you awake. Forrester also curves, which most macro teachers don't do.

He is very confusing and mainly teaches on what he thinks is correct. He is not helpful. Try to stay away from this teacher. Yes economics is hard, but this teacher makes it very difficult to pass.

Comment:

he is not as bad as these people say. he curves the tests a lot. it's macroeconomics - nobody ever said it was easy, u just gotta study. and he lets you get extra points. study and you will do well. i never go to class, it's boring.
