Comment:
Prof Aronson has a lot of knowledge, but that being said, your grade comes from TA not him. Get to know the TA. 4 'midterms' that he calls quizzes, 15% each, one research assignment worth 30%. Exams aren't as straightforward as you would expect. Really have to know the material and how everything relates back to economics only.

Comment:
Such a nice professor. He is a very laid back professor with straight-forward lectures. He talks about real world issues and invited some great speakers to our class. Readings were short and easy. get to know your TA; he is in charge of your grade. go to class and you will get an A. He is more concerned with teaching than grading.

Comment:
Aronson is a very hands-off, laid back instructor. He does not use pwrpt, uses reading only sparingly, and teaches classes in a very philosophical manner. They're interesting and stimulate independent thought and opinion. If you're a moron and need a teacher to coddle you, don't take him, otherwise, I'd highly recommend him.

Interesting professor. Taught me more about life in general than the actual material of the class.

Comment:
Had him twice, found his teaching style to be unique -he just tells you how things work in plain English. I think I've used more of what I learned in his classes than most of the more theory-driven drivel.
