Very knowledgeble in statistics and microeconomics. This class is all about the statistical practice in business world and economics. It's really say that the department is losing him! He's moving state of washington for a new job.

Comment:

Great prof, interesting class, easy A. Most lectures are interesting. Majority of grade comes from Exams and Papers. Exams are easy if you study and pay attention. Honestly all classes should be setup this way. He gives ridiculous amounts of extra credit making it hard to do poorly if you come to class.

Comment:

I've never been so bored in a class before. If you're interested in economics, he's a good teacher if you can stand to listen to him the entire time. He gives tons of extra credit though & gives a 5-10 minute break half-way through the class.

Take your ECO class with him, his class is VERY easy. He gives very good, real world examples in his lectures. He gives u his old exams to study for the exams on, and takes the exam ?'s pretty much word for word from the old exams. He gives you like 3 weeks to work on homework assignments, and he gives a TON of extra credit. GREAT Professor!!!

Either a quiz or extra credit every day of class so if you go to class an A is pretty hard not to get. Good teacher and work is pretty easy.

Comment:

He is very clear when he speaks and is easy to understand. His tests are a little more difficult, however if you pay attention and go to class, you'll be fine. He offers extra credit a lot, which is a bonus. I highly recommend this professor since you are able to learn very easily, yet you will be challenged as well. He doesn't make it a blow off.

Comment:

dr phil is a great guy. the class is somewhat difficult and very boring. doesnt take attendance but gives quick extra credit assignments to those who are there. ended up being about 30 points ec which helped my grade a ton. very helpful if you stop by office hours, and if you have a question on hw email him and he always emailed me back promptly.

Comment:

This guy was a guaranteed tranquilizer 2 days a week. Whatever you do don't take it with him at 8am. I pulled a B in the class and worked kindda hard, but it's so bleeding boring I wanted to jump out the window. He's a nice guy though. Don't bother coming to class, I regret doing it. Hope this helps!

Comment:

He is a very boring teacher but he knows his material. He is always there to help at any time and if you do all of the homework and get a 100% and do not too so hot on the quizzes you will get at least a C+! Don't really have to go to class but it is helpful at times. uses bb a lot!

He's a great teacher. He's a little goofy and pretty boring, but he cares about his students. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities. His tests are easy, too.

Comment:

Nice guy, gives examples on EVERYTHING to help you understand better (if you can stay awake in class...) quizzes easy at first but got harder as class went on. TEsts are hard too, STUDY! GO TO THE CLASSES...you cannot skip out on these, helps you understand material even though you can print off notes on Blackboard. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK FOR ECO110.
