Simply put, ROD IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. He genuinely cares for his students and explains everything very clear until every student gets a crystal clear idea of the concept. Keep up the amazing teaching rod!

I went to every class and still failed. I didn't learn much from him. He does not make it interesting what so ever. Try and find a different prof for ECON.

His lectures can be a bit dry and boring but he always try to make it so you understand the material. Reading the textbook and getting the study guide will definitely help with his challenging - but fair tests. Great guy over all and his exam was relatively easy! Great intro to Econ prof

Decent Professor. He is quite monotone and his classes can be boring. However he tries his best to help you out and his tests are fair but challenging. Reading the textbook is necessary and doing the study guide will help.

Comment:

Pretty monotone speaker which can make it hard to pay attention, but if you do pay attention he drops some pretty hilarious jokes. Some classes I just wrote down the funny stuff he said instead of the lecture. You really have to understand material quickly as it just gets progressively harder.

Comment:

A great professor. Classes are not simply lectures, but discussions of economics topics. Very laid back, great pace for the work. You should have a strong economics background before attempting his class, even if the prerequisites don't require it. He won't explain everything, but it's all very interesting.

Comment:

He is an idiot with a terrible hair cut. He is a awful teacher, he tries to explain stuff, and then goes back and adds random stuff to something he taught half an hour ago, and he tells people to shut up all the time, although the vein in his forehead looks pretty funny when he does.

He says economics and equilibrium wrong! And it was a horrible class. But I suppose he did explain it okay.

Little feedback is provided when marked work is returned. New course, but Rod was well prepared and organised. Interesting class. Will only get better as it is fine tuned.

I can't seem to figure this guy out. Always talks about his personal life... his house, his Daewoo, his education, all kinds of stuff.... but still a complete enigma. I think he really is a good fella. Good prof by the way; challenging but do-able tes
