Comment:
I had him back in 1980! Some things never change or so it seems. An Eco lecture in Grace Hall was interesting as it was early 8AM and most of the back row was totally sacked out. I never found class all that worthwhile. Reading the book was mandatory and you should get by.

Comment:
His lectures are boring and the majority of the class skips. As long as you attend recitation and review the sample tests you will do fine in the class. His curves are generous. No homework.

Comment:
The class consists of two 4-question essay tests each composing 25% of the final grade and a multiple choice final counting for the other 50%. He is a very charismatic professor with interesting lectures, and if you attend recitations and read the book you should do well. However, ppl. who took O'Brian for this class seemed to have learned more.

He is the sweetest old man. His teaching is sometimes confusing and his exams are 4 essay questions. Read the book and look at old tests to prepare.

Aronson seems like he would have been great back in the day when he new his stuff but now he's just sort of riding it out. Liked him, but..didn't learn a lot. Nice, just not on the edge.

He is a very nice man and funny. Although he doesn't explain much during class, you can learn all you need from the book. Also, he curves A LOT.

Tells random stories for part of the class but that allows you to stay interested in stuff that's basically repetitive. Great prof...

He is kind of random and funny. You need to read the book to do well in this class. He curves the final grade a lot.

Comment:
Terrible. My friends and I were always wondering why we came to class because he never taught anything of value. No structure, just random thoughts and notes, yet exams are hard. The average for both exams we had were 69. Take O'Brien for this class if you want to learn anything.

aronson is the man. randomly assigns your tests a numbered grade that is fairly low but then sets the cut off point to get the A even lower. he must have given out half of the class A's.

You'd have to be a fool not to take any class he teaches. You know exactly what's going to be on the exam, and he keeps class interesting. Just show up and you'll do fine.

other 353 kid is an idiot. Aronson is the man he tells fabulous old man stories that go no where and kill time. The class is really easy and as long as you read the book anyone can get a B or better.
