Very knowledgeable and interesting guy. Show up to class, skim the readings, and put in a little research effort on the papers and you should be totally fine. I got an A+ with very minimal effort outside of class.

Professor Kahn is a fantastic professor for environmental studies, economics, and helping you determine a research, and future career path. I absolutely recommend as an advisor, a professor for entry, mid-level and senior level economics and environmental studies, and is your go-to guy for anything pertaining to Brazil.

Kahn is awesome. He's one of those professors who lets you learn for yourself instead of lecturing at you, and the result is that you really are able to for knowledgeable opinions about the material. Kahn is incredibly knowledgeable in his field; his grading definitely reflects attitude, students actually care about learning are definitely rewarded

Very laidback. Class was a bit disorganized, but he didn't punish students for confusion. Clearly very knowledgable about his field.

Awesome guy. Very adept at articulating environmental arguments and putting the clamp on those who traditionally view them as leftist fluff. Really opens your mind to the various dimensions of environmentalist throught economics, policy, even feminism.
