Very nice guy who knows what he is talking about but lectures can be boring and his voice tends to drone on. Overall a decent prof with relatively easy tests

Comment:

I had Dr. Benson for many classes in the late '90s / early 0's(?) Goto the Friday classes. He quite often dropped exam hints and the lectures were more humourous then his normal classes.

Comment:

Prof. Benson is a great teacher. He has a passion for teaching and it really shows in his classes. He is always willing to help, and encourages students to learn material besides what is in the textbook. He is an asset to the Economics department at the U of G.

I had Prof Benson some 15 years ago and still recall one Friday morning when he wore his Lacoste sweater inside out. Pete Millard and I laughed about that for a full hour after class over coffee in Massey Hall :)
