Comment:

He doesn't use D2L so you have to go to class to get his notes. But he does gives lots of clues for multiple choice on the midterms/final and tells you the possible long answers (which are worth 15 marks) so it's worth it. Some things in his notes aren't clear and don't line up with the textbook but other than that he's a great prof.

HE WAS AMAZING. I took him on campus for Econ 1010 and I took it as an elective and he made it so easy and interesting. Yeas you got to go to class as he does not upload notes online but his personality is so good, it's the first ever evening class I was regular with. Makes midterm and finals easy, gives types of questions in advance.

Mike doesn't use D2L so you have to go to class to get the notes but he basically tells you what questions you will have on your midterms and for the final you basically have a bunch of questions that he gives you and he'll pick like 10 to put on there. Really nice guy.

Comment:

Mike doesnt make it clear what the will be on assessments or what to focus on studying. He doesnt make time to meet students, and if you see him after class for questions he is rather unhelpful. Doesnt use online, doesnt share notes, doesnt add anything to the class. If you miss a class, you can expect to never understand the concepts missed.

Show up and the class isn't hard. He tells you exactly what's on the exams and explains concepts well. He has good notes on overhead sheets so be prepared to write a lot down.

Very nice prof. Gives very good lectures, lots of notes but they are very useful. Gives examples of practice questions that could be on the exams, very useful for studying. Exams are fair, multiple choice questions are hard, short answer questions are fair.

Comment:

Midterms consist multiple choice which can be difficult and unlike what was reviewed in class. He gives review questions at the end of each chapter which are nearly identical to the ones on the exams. Overall he is an approachable guy but doesn't always explain things clearly. Reads from slides which can be dry and doesn't use d2l.

Test Heavy, doesn't post notes online, doesn't explain things well, unclear what is on midterms and finals, tough grader. Essentially if this course isn't something you shine in don't take him

Comment:

I wouldnt recommend him. He is the worst professor ive ever been taught by. No d2l. Miss his first 2 classes if your late to join uni, you wont even get the course outline and he has no email you can reach out to. So, you have to contact the economics department. His lectures are very boring.

Comment:

Didn't enjoy the lectures at all, very boring but it is hard to make economics fun. Definitely knows what he's talking about and his notes are great, LITERALLY gives you all the questions he'd ever ask so practice answering them and you're set for the exams. No online notes so class is a must.

You must go to every class because nothing is posted on D2L. However in saying that, his lectures are pretty interesting and he loves drawing a graph or chart for every single term he puts on the board. Tests consist of 25 mc and one 15point (short answer). He tells you every question on the exam throughout the semester, so go to class and listen.

Comment:

The worst! No D2l or email for contact use, he uses an overhead projector for all of his notes and his examples are very unclear. Test wise he does no preparation or tell you what to expect, the book is a MUST for studying, he doesn't give back your midterm multiple choice and the 15 point long answers he hints about in class. Super frustrating.
