Comment:

Dr. Michaels is a great teacher. I would totally take him again. I recommend taking him if you have to take Micro Economics. He makes the material fun and there are only 3 tests, which are pretty easy, and a few homework assignments which are done online. The book is also online. If you have to take micro... take it with him!!!

Comment:

He gives you a lot of assignments, but he's a pretty fair grader. Three tests on lecture notes and homework problems, curves tests a little bit. Kind of funny, but often boring. It's econ though so it's understandable. Overall, he's a cool, laidback guy and you'll learn a lot if you give a lot.

Hes a good teacher. Hes really nice too, i don't think theres a mean bone in his body. Easy to understand if you listen and hes funny at times. if you read the book and study guide book before the exams, you'll be fine. I have an A in this class, and i didn't try that hard.

he covers a ton of material in the class, but he explains everything very clearly and the tests are not hard if you study. His lectures can be boring, but he tries to make them fun, sometimes succeeding.

Comment:

Probably the most difficult and boring course for Business Admin. majors, but he makes it as easy as he possibly can. Grades tests pretty liberally, there are four, and you have one easy project to do. I got an A after doing poorly before.

Comment:

He always has a little ball of spit on his mouth that never goes away, a little distacting sometimes. Other that that he is a pretty nice guy, kind of a difficult grader. Not all that easy to talk to, but is not intimadating by any means.

Comment:

He incorporated examples that you could relate to and played games with the concept to provide a better understanding. Hard grader because he expects more but he is fair and easy to talk to if you don't understand things.
