Comment:

Try to avoid him for this class. His midterms are very difficult and his classes are very boring. For final exam, he makes you write 5 long answer questions and 20 MCQ's and only gives you 2 hours. It's also worth 40% for a full year course, which is not worth it. Try to avoid him as much as you can. He makes you dislike macroeconomics completely.

Comment:

His lectures are a never ending 3 hour boredom (2hr lecture + 1 hr. discussion / tutorial), his voice and manner of presenting the material is so annoying that barely anyone makes it to the end of the lecture. He deducts marks for wrong MC answers on the tests (ouch) and there is no hope for a bell curve. Good smart person but an awful prof.

Comment:

Let me be very clear. If you are a student coming into your second year, PUSH THIS CLASS OFF UNTIL THIRD YEAR AND SAVE YOUR cGPA. This class is absolutely packed slides full of information. There is no book either, so if you do not understand the slides you are out of luck. Professor doesn't TEACH, he only reads off of slides. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

He is very inspirational and clear. I go to his class to learn not to only get what i need for his tests. His views on macro policy is very eye-opening for students who have been constantly fed Neo-liberal dogma which does not even hold under the simplest logical examination.

Comment:

worst class I've taken so far. Guy talks for 2 hours straight , all the slides are packed with info. Hard to follow. Only way to understand curve shift is to look at past test explanations (which are too long also). Accent is very thick. Won't give a mark boost or anything. He repeats the same thing over and over , but will still be very unclear.

Comment:

First of all, this bloke teaches all the sections for this REQUIRED course. So there's no way you can avoid him. Monotone voice + PP Slide filled with text literally kills all motivation of learning . Only 10 or so out 50 show up to class every week. Spanish accent so bad, it kinda sounds Japanese. Although knowledgeable, not a very good Prof.

I have taken ECO407 with Gustavo Indart. His course was an eye opener. It was the most interesting economics course I have taken at UofT.

Comment:

Indart is a very straight forward professor. Attend his lectures, do his past problems and tests and you will get an A. So far, this course has been pretty easy. His slides are very clear and to the point. The only negative I have for Indart is that he can sometimes be monotonous when speaking making it hard to focus on what he's saying in class.

His tests are fairly easy as long as you read the textbook and his lecture slides. That being said, going to class is useless because all he does is read off his slides.

Indart's explains every point extremely clear, if you follow his thoughts, then you will understand everything you need to for any tests. He posts most past test online which is really helpful. His answers for the tests are even more helpful.

Having taken this course twice with him I realized that going to class is not necessary since everything is on the lecture slides. Understand them and do past exams and you should be okay.

He is a good prof although he has strong accent. I took it last term and his midterm is not hard. You just need to do all the past tests and understand all the problem sets. I believe u can get a good grade if you put effort on it.

Comment:

Indart is organized and gives us all the resources you will need to prepare for the tests. 50% of your midterms consists contents from previous tests, however, they ain't a joke. It actually takes effort to think even though you have done them a million times. As well, I find his test extremely long and therefore, I think endurance is important.

Tests are not super challenging since he gives out previous tests. Accent is way too thick to understand. Bell-curves down like there's no tomorrow.
