lets break this review down in 3ways, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. The Good:creates very good conversations to get you thinking The Bad:Terrible at keeping a class engaged, doesnt do a good job of explaining lectures The Ugly:unless if you download his lectures you wont learn anything, test reviews are terrible, homework isnt graded, super cringey

Comment:

Although he is a funny professor, his exams are ridiculously hard. Studying the review sheets will not guarantee you to pass his exams because he puts stuff from his notes into his exams. So pretty much memorize everything he writes down and go over the review sheets if you want a good grade.

Honestly I don't even know what to say. The only way of passing is passing the exams and he makes everything to complicated and hard and he acts like he has issues. The final is 40% of your grade and each test 20% and there is only 2 test. From the class of 36 people that I am in, only 2 are passing and I think that says enough...

Videos he post on Blackboard help more than his actual lecture. His jokes are super corny and when you leave the room he puts you on the spot for that

Comment:

He's actually a pretty good professor. His jokes are EXTREMELY cringe-worthy, but funny nonetheless. When grading homework, he makes sure to fill up your paper with lots of little notes of improvement. Also, he's the only professor I know of that actually gives his personal number, which is cool, but I THINK that's illegal?

A really nice and understanding professor. He gives plenty of time for assignments with a clear criteria. Her exams are very easy. He also gives great advice. He is very knowledgeable and a skilled teacher. He keeps class entertaining and informative at the same time. He is very caring. He is one of the best professors I have ever had.

I truly loved this professor. He was always making jokes in class, he made sure all his notes were on blackboard and he always met with me to go over everything before his 3 exams (yes there are only three so you MUST pass all.) His exams are hard, but his review is pretty much his exact exam. Please go to him if you need help, thats how I passed

Comment:

He reallycares about the future of his students. He literally said so about two weeks into the semester and it shows. Tells jokes and cares that you learn the material (real life examples that make more sense than the book). 3 tests; not hard if you study the notes that are all uploaded on blackboard on the 1st day, test almost identical to review.

The type of profesor who keeps the students' attention and shows enthusiasm for his work, teaches a lot and is funny. Not the monotonous read-from-the-powerpoint type

Amazing lectures from an amazing professor. Nothing but praise. He uses real world examples, makes the class more interesting. Takes the time to fully answer any questions you may have. The tests are exactly what you learn in class. Just pay attention, not much work. Very nice and understandable person.

this professor truly love what he teaches, he know how to break down the topics an give real world examples. HOWEVER his tests are out of this world hard! you will need to photographically memorize every thing in the note that he gives you. his test questions are extremely vague, which leave you guessing what it is u need to answer. B- final grade

He is a good person but he is not a good professor. There is worse but he is just confused. Only 3 tests which are super super hard. and a group project. His tests are so hard and if you do bad you will not get a good grade in his class. I learned more from youtube than I did in his class. If you take his class be prepared to work your ass off.

Great professor who likes to joke around during class. It's a good contrast because his class involves A LOT of note taking, but he clearly explains the material, multiple times if needed. Only gave 4 HW assignments and 3 exams for the semester. Exams are HARD, you need to study and pay attention to pass, but the HWs assigned is basically a review.

This professor is great, he explains everything throughly and if you need extra help he will provide his time. Economics is so hard for me personally and confusing because I suck at it. nonetheless he's a great professor. Eco is just the worse class I ever had to take.

hes a good teacher but you have to go over the material because its a lot for a once a week class, there are only two test, midterm and finally, if you don't pass the midterm and pass the final he will take your final grade and use it as ur overall. no breaks, but he keeps you entertained and connects a lot of the material to real life situations.

Comment:

Teacher rocks. Makes economics not only an understandable ordeal, he makes it fun. He also is full of optimism + possesses an otherworldly ability to transfer knowledge completely to someone else. You just have to do your part too. Tells you exactly what you need to know. As he goes over crucial material he expresses its importance. Take him.

He is ridiculous. There are only 2 tests, the midterm and the final. if you don't do well you won't pass. the lectures are way too long, and he is not funny. he tries to be slick at the mouth and pass it off as a joke. he does not give a break. this class is a mental drain. way too much information, and he doesn't explain the work properly

Comment:

I really enjoyed having him as a professor, I took him for Macroeconomics. Honestly, the material itself was very challenging but he keeps you involved with a really lively personality and is always willing to explain anything again. He also adds all of his lectures to Blackboard, so you can use them to study. 2 tests and a final. 3 homeworks.
