Comment:

nice guy outside of class but doesn't really teach inside class. just goes through ppt slides that basically are bullet points from text. does give a major curve at end that does help but may be screwed for ecn201. does give 5 random quizzes which are basically whats your name, date, and a class related ?. may want to take this with someone else

Comment:

He's horrible! I read the text book, attended class, and took notes, and the tests aren't anything like what I studied or he lectured. The class average on the first test was a 50%. The highest grade was a 76%. The second test was a take-home and the class average was a 70%. Don't waste your time or money, take this class with a different prof.

Comment:

Economics is clearily his subject. Dont take QMM with him, TAKE ECN if you are willing to commit. Do the practice problems and hope for the best - 4.0. MC questions really hard, tests somewhat different then lectures. Be prepared for 3 hr PPoint slideshow, sometimes repetetive.

Terrible professor! DO NOT TAKE if you want to keep your GPA up and pass!He is in his own little world. His lectures were right from the book, and his tests do not even cover what we learned.

Only good if you love Liberalism. Spent a lecture on the Wall Street Bailout teaching Socialism, ripped Sarah Palin in one of his lectures, and promoted George Soros' book. A great class to go to if you want to be indoctrinated.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. What he went over in class didn't look anything like what was on the test. Prof said that it is all based on micro, how can you get a 4.0 in micro and then fail this class? Graded on a curve but it didn't help b/c the avg was high... other people had copies of old tests and had aced the exams!

Worst Professor I've ever had! I read all the comments on here and took the class anyways, and that was a huge mistake! Tests were super hard! He doesn't respond to emails. Posts hw assignments on Moodle the night before they are due. The final was nothing like the review given. Don't take Professor Sase!

Does not respond to e-mails, hard to reach, Puts questions on test that are totally diff. then on practice test, even though he didn't even teach how to solve the easy ones! Lectures = power point summary of a book-useless!

I'm taking this professor right now. It is almost end of semester and I don't know what is going on in this class. Lectures are quiet, boring- most boring professor I've taken.

Give yourself a favor, take Morgan Elliott!!! She is 3 times younger and 1000 times better than Sase. If you'll take Sase you'll wais you time & money, won't learn anything, & will get a grade lower than expected. I took 241 with Elliott and in first class it was like "wow, I finally understand what the hell I was learning the whole semester!".

Comment:

Alittle dry. Makes class boring for the most part. his notes are all over the place and not too helpful. Exams were take home which was essential given that they were pretty tough. Final is hard if you don't know the material VERY well or if you don't use a graphing calculator (he tries to not let you use graphings calcs).

Comment:

The worst class I have ever taken. Extremely boring, does not use the textbook and talks the whole class period. Very hard to get a 3.5 and above. Gives everyone same grade. I put a lot of effort in class and got the same grade as others who did not put any effort at all. Would not recommend.

Comment:

He is one of the WORST. Doesn't explain, just mumbles something, but curves grades a lot. Gives take-home tests. U have a chance to get good grade if you stay after class and ask questions about tests & project, othervise you will be SUPER CONFUSED and will skrew up. Very unclear, makes mistakes on every test, watch out! Take Elliott!! She's great!

Comment:

Terrible Professor. I didn't learn a thing in this class which killed me for my other classes where you needed a good Stats background. He never taught - just played on his computer. My only saving grace was that all of his exams were take home and you could do everything with a partner. Otherwise I would have been in trouble.

Comment:

This "professor" does not teach a thing that you will see on the test. He sits up front all class and draws on his stupid little computer pad instead of writing on the board like a normal person. He can't stay on topic for more than 3 minutes. He has his own version of the grading scale where a 90% is a 3.0. BadBadBadBad "Teacher"

all this guy likes to do is play with his computer. his lectures are not helpful. he just doesn't really teach-it's like he's too busy with his life to be a real teacher. sends in a lackey to give tests, a lackey who doesn't know anything at that. i would not recommend this prof to anyone, ever ever ever. plus, he wears the same clothes every class

Comment:

His lectures were kind of all over the place, but he brought in real world applications to the class. His exams and projects were all take home, however, you really had to work hard at them. I liked him as a professor and would take him for another class. You'll probably do surprisingly well in the class if you just do what he tells you.
