His lectures have no relation with the textbook.But when you are going to take the exams,you have to read the whole textbook,and still can not cover all questions...

Comment:

Was a difficult class if you didn't study. He has hard m/c questions, but is always willing to help you out if you're confused. Good Prof. Can get side tracked a little bit though. Definetly would take another class with him.

have fun with the graphs, they look like they came from another century - after awhile the blackboard begins to look like a deep abyss of confusion...

Comment:

He is a great person. He will spend hours with you if you need it. He loves the topic of economics and tries to make it as interesting as possible. Ask, ask, ask. You can do well, just ask him lots of questions. He likes that alot.

Jim Seldon is the hardest econ 190 teacher out there, if you can take this class with another teacher, you'll get a way better mark.

Comment:

A darling man with a great sense of humor.Unfortunately,gets off topic and can be confusing and disorganized.HE knows the topic perfectly, yet has trouble conveying it in clear terms.Brings in a lot of Ph.D-speak, but a very helpful and fair teacher.I would take his course again.Read the text!

Comment:

Dr. Seldon has a Ph.D and when he teaches he seems like he talks to us in Ph.D language!! His graphs on the board are waaaay too messy to actually be used for anything useful when studying. I will say though that I like how marks are spread out in his class and how midterms are only worth 20%.

Comment:

Oh Jim... his class is so boring, it seems like the same thing everyday. Read the textbook, you don't get much out of the stuff he writes on the board. I don't think I want to take another Econ class after going through this one. :(

Sometimes it gets tedious but on the whole I enjoyed him. He wants to help you in any way he can. His exams were relevant but he marks them hard. I'd take him as a prof again.
