Comment:
The most amazing proff at York so far. He is so good at teaching Econ that it makes just about anyone want to study this subject further. This was my favorite class to attend all of last year. Extremely interesting lectures, very clear and tells you exactly what is on the exam.

Great Prof! Although his exams are pretty difficult if you read the text book and the lecture notes everything on the exam is covered and he tells you what to focus on! The questions are just a bit tricky so make sure you study hard and know your stuff!

Comment:
He is probably the best prof that I have ever had at York. I hate Econ, and I suck at it, but I got an 80 in his class cause he knows how to teach. If I could have him as my prof for everything, I would, and for his age, hes not bad to look at!

Very knowledgeable, lectures are well done, but tests are very very challenging. Probably the toughest exams I have written at York. Our midterm average was 35% (no-one scored above 80%). Even after the bell, the average was only 55%. Be prepared to work very hard to succeed!!

His lectures are very interesting and he is very charming man but the exams are truly difficult - even if you know the answer, hard to get perfect because of the way he builds the question.

Although his lectures are ok, his tests are hard & specific. He doesn't give any hints to what's on the exam.

What he teaches in class doesn't prepare students for the questions on the written exam. Not enough time to write them, and too demanding. Class average was less than 35.
