Micro first of all isn't an easy class, but he made it semi-interesting. He has cute lil things on his slides and in his tests to wake u up. I hated every second of studying but made it through, many chapters i didn't even touch the book but somehow made it. final was mega hard, but he's the best over other professors, he curves ur grades in the en

Comment:

You have to read the book and attend class. Quizzes all the time plus tests can be challenging. Definately a big business lover, and will call you on other ideals. Lecturs cover the quizzes and some things on the tests. Funny guy, but class is challenging. Prepares you for the final. Not that interesting of a subject, but class wasn't that boring.

Best teacher i've had in college. I had to work for my B, but I learned alot. If you are a business major, take this class. Its hard, so slackers beware. Keep up with the reading, do the extra credit, and make sure you go to class. This was my hardest class, but my favorite to attend. He is the man and the funniest guy ever

This teacher "offers" extra credit; however doesn't want to give you credit for the hours and hours that you spend on it.

This guy is awsome highly recommend this class. Economics can be one of the most boring classes out there this guy makes it interesting. His grading process seems tough but it really prepares you for the exam. All you gotta do is do your homework, is that really so bad?

Mr. Smith will help you to succeed, he does everything he can possibly to help you. BE PREPARED TO WORK, if you are a slacker and looking for cheap grades, stay away, but if you are serious, he will work with you. I recommend him especially for a subject like economics. The extra credit will help you, turn in your work on time, and you'll be fine

Mr. Smith is an awesome teacher. He makes it so you can pass if you actually work on getting an A. He offers EC and the tests are a challenge but you are fine IF YOU STUDY!!! Only reason anyone could ever have a bad opinion is because they want the grade given to them and don't want to work for it so they rate the teach bad. To pass micro take him.

Excellent teacher. Mr. Smith finds ways to incorporate excellent examples and humor into the seemingly uninteresting topic of economics. While there is a lot of work involved in the class, Mr. Smith's amazing teaching style makes up for it completely.

Professor Smith is full of himself and unhelpful. Granted he does try to relate other things to the class to make it interesting, it is still hard as heck and he does not have any patience. This class is very difficult. I do not recomend it!

Be prepared to do his work (even though the work load is great) you will survive, and you will actually learn something. HE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL and he makes economics fun, i look forward to his classes. If you are serious about college, take him.

Comment:

Mr. Smith is an excellent teacher, but the material can be overwhelming. He makes it interesting (yes, economics!) You can definitely tell he loves teaching. He has a way of relating economics to everything. This is NOT a class you can skate through. It's major commitment of both time and effort, but I learned in this class.

AWESOME TEACHER! His method of teaching is outstanding, and he always helps you out. He is energetic and happy, and you can tell he loves his job. His class is a little difficult but he allows many extra credit opportunities, and easy ways of getting points. One of the best teachers i've had in college so far.

There are so many ways to obtain points in his class, you'd have to be an idiot not to do well!The material can be challenging, but he makes everything seem clear. Very funny guy as well. I would definately take another class of his again.
