Comment:

Dr. Dietz is a really nice and down to earth guy. Made the notes available through Titanium. Lectures could get a little dry but he likes to tell jokes and stories to keep the class awake. 4 tests including the final. Final is optional only to boost up your grade. He really wants all of his students to pass. Take him if you have a chance.

Dietz is a great man! Take him if possible, test are tough but the amount of extra credit he gives should help you out a bit. The subject of Econ may be though, but he does an amazing job teaching it.

Lectures quickly from powerpoint thats online, bring a laptop for notes. Assigns homework, but sometimes forgets to tell you its assigned so make sure you check online frequently. A lot of extra credit. Four exams, can drop one including the final. He's really nice, willing to help, and tries to make lecture not so dreadful.

Great professor, but tough tests. Long lectures, but posts notes online. 1 page of notes on tests. Optional final. Assigns homework a few times throughout the semester. Textbook helps with homework, but not necessary. LOTS of extra credit AND he curved the class! Recommend, but heard it's his last semester. Happy retirement, Dr. Dietz!

Pretty laid back and funny teacher. Although lectures can be long and boring, he gives you a help sheet for all exams and posts everything online. 3 Exams, and optional final, extra credit, myeconlab homework.

One of your best options for Econ 202!! The first few weeks of school he likes to call people randomly to answer questions but he does it for our own benefit. Online HW, 3 Exams, and an optional Final. He offers lots of Extra Credit!! Take advantage of it!! The reason I got a C because I slacked off. Don't make the same mistake I did!

Pretty easy teacher. You get to have a cheat sheet for every test. Drops the lowest test. Ton of extra credit. Doesn't use powerpoint but his own microsoft word notes and they are confusing. Don't buy the book, just get the online code for homework.

Great professor when he explains and tells stories. Read the book before lectures so that it won't confuse you. Tests are fairly easy because his lectures cover most of the problems on his exams. A lot of EC opportunities. TAKE HIM!

3 exams and 1 final. He drops the lowest grade of those 4. Allows cheat sheet for tests. Hw is online. Dietz is a fun professor and explains things very well. His tests are somewhat difficult but if you read the book and go to class you will be fine. He also gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities! Overall a great professor.

Read the textbook! You are not going to do well in the class, if you don't read. Learn to apply it to the exams. His tests are challenging but not difficult, you are allowed a cheat sheet.Overall i enjoyed the class. I highly recommend the teacher! DO all your homework and XC. The extra credit helps... alot! Take him, you wont be disappointed.

He's a great teacher. Homework is online. He makes everything super simple and the stuff on the test is so predictable. It makes studying really easy because you know what's gonna be on it. He puts all of the notes up online.

65% is a C in class so it's not hard to pass. 4 exams. Lowest score he'll drop. Practice HW and scored HW. There were 3-4 scored ones. About 21 points of extra cred. Exams were fairly difficult. He lets you bring a cheat sheet, but it might not help much because they're all application questions with a bit of solving. Cool/funny guy .

Comment:

This was my second time taking Microeconomics, I should have taken him the first time around. Great teacher, really interested in his students passing the class, and very approachable. His class can be at times be intimidating. Sit in the front be prepared to be called upon. I highly recommend this professor.
