Comment:
Take it from someone who has taken econ twice- this guy is amazing, please ignore any negative comment about him - econ is boring but he is fantastic, very clear & very nice and he even brings in jokes to tell us. I sucked at econ when i took it with someone else but with him Im getting a B+ which is amazing to me! He really gets u to understand it

Comment:
I went to his office hours and he was extremly helpful. He goes through all of his notes slowly and makes sure he is clear on a lot of things. If you go to his office hours there is no reason that you should not get an A. He makes you think!

I didn't think he was too bad. I didn't attend most of the classes because he had no attendance policy, which was nice, and still got an A.

Wow, he is the worst teacher I think I've ever had. Very boring. Doesn't help us at all. Goes way too fast. Has no interest whether or not we do well.

Comment:
He started off by stating that the exams would be difficult, but that we shouldn't be expected to get 100s, and the scale would reflect that. Then he got pissy when we didn't do well. As if economics wasn't bad enough....

Argh!, He is so boring. the only part of his class that is interesting is when he curses! Just rambles on with powerpoint, I don't think he even knew where he was half the time. I think we were invisible to him.
