Missios is the MAN. Explains everything thoroughly and slowly. Gives lots of practice exams for midterms and finals. He wants everyone to do well and doesn't give any trick questions. 100% would take him for every Economics class if I could.

Comment:

One of the best economics professors ever. Everything taught in class is tested on, none of that textbook exclusive stuff. The textbook is used in your own time if you need extra practice and another view of what is taught in class. He goes through many many examples and gives you plenty of resources before the final and midterm. 10/10 prof

Read all of the practice midterms and finals because they are very similar . Take a lot of notes because he does not post slides. I do not know if the text book is helpful because i did not use it but i came to class everyday, so it was worth it. He explains really well.

Comment:

Great professor! He seems like he's in the elite division of professors at Ryerson because he is very laid back but still extremely knowledgeable. He writes everything on the board and doesn't post or use any slides, so bring a notebook and pencil to class for notes (lots of graphs). I didn't touch the textbook, focus on what he teaches in class!

Comment:

His lectures are useful, there isn't a ton of content in this course but he tries to explain everything thoroughly. Attending lectures is important since he doesn't post notes online. His tests are somewhat similar to his sample exams in format but doing practice problems from tutorials or the textbook would be helpful. Also, he bell curves grades.

He is a good prof, but spends way too much time on certain slides, and always goes back and forth. The class is highly boring as he talks for the 3 hours.

Great lectures, great guy, and extremely helpful! Got an A+ in the course (im neither econ major nor minor). Beware of one thing: calculus. Most people would struggle here but it's nothing practice can't make you good at! My only suggestions: Ask questions, take notes and practice!

Comment:

The course itself is not easy, so you can't expect him to be "an easy marker", however he explains the mathematical side of the course really well. I would have probably failed if I relied on the textbook for that. The classes are pretty dry but I could imagine it would be difficult to make this kind of material interesting or engaging. Good guy

His lecture notes are quite lengthy but they're extremely helpful. However, he doesn't post them on BB. The class average was somewhere in the 50s for the midterm but he was nice enough to boost everyone's mark by 10%. You don't need to go to class if you can practice all the sample questions from past midterms and finals that he posts on BB.
