Comment:

Health Econ. is probably the easiest econ. class here. It's easier than intro. macro or micro. Very repetitive, but probably useful. If you want to learn about various forms of health insurance in the U.S. this is the right class for you. Learned alot since I knew nothing about health insurance or medicaid.

Comment:

Ok, so he's a little vague and doesn't totally understand questions you ask, but he's very approachable and friendly. This needs to stop being "the big bad econ class." It's not that hard and he can't help that it's boring. Just put the work in, it's not bad. Really, I swear and he curves.

Comment:

I don't agree that you don't learn anything from his classes.You complete them with better understanding of the mechanics of econ,if you put some effort in it.It's sad because some juniors in the class who almost failed-3rdeconmaj still struggling with basic principles.I found him always helpful.

Comment:

This man does not know how to teach. Just who tenured him is what I am curious about. Exams were vague. Refuses to give you practice problems ANYTHING similiar to his exams. He is very condescending and insults your intelligence. STAY AWAY - I learnt NOTHING from this class and hate Econ now.

Comment:

he might be a fair grader in the sense that he curves the grades, but his lectures are not worth going to: you can skip them and do as well at a test that by the way will have nothing to do with what he goes over at the class. Boring, useless, no practice at all...

STAY AWAY!!! Not only did I learn *nothing* from him, but he also bored me, annoyed me and his class insulted my intelligence. Try as I might, I have nothing good to say...

Comment:

Horrible. Lectures merely reiterate concepts learned from the text. Does not teach how to apply these concepts to math problems. Tests you on problems which are not at all similar to problems in the text and refuses to give you practice problems.

Comment:

awful. upon asking for help, was given a deliberately evasive answer. seems to want to trick rather than educate. doesn't lecture, rather, discusses in a condescending way, in a manner that assumes you know the material. miserable experience overall.
