He is a nice guy but you don't learn much in the class unless you read the text, in which case his tests are fairly easy.

Comment:
Brodsky is a nice person, but as a teacher i'd say subpar. Don't ask him hard questions, and read the book. Going to class will help but his tests are more book based. He goes through what you need to know the day before tests. I got a B simply because i did bad on the first test. His grades are not weighted. Not a lot of points in the class!

Comment:
Prof. Brodsky is very nice and very funny. As a person he gets an A, but his class if hard and it is difficult to get an A because he does not teach the material. You must teach yourself. You also must be prepared for him to give you something random on the exam. His final WILL bring your grade down.

A funny guy, if you are paying attention. Seriously, this class is simple - go to class, skim the book occasionally, study for a few hours before the test. I hardly went and almost got a B. Brodsky's a good guy and one of the better econ profs.

Comment:
Brodsky is a cool guy, an ex CFO and president of a major mortgage company (thats why he is Mr. and not Dr.), however, he does not really know how to teach. The material isnt that difficult, so as long as you read the book, then you're OK. Do not rely on his lectures to help for tests - you must study out of the book.

Comment:
If you've never taken Econ before, the class will move incredibly quickly - Brodsky isn't much of a teacher. His tests and quizzes are not hard if you understand the material, but if you don't you are pretty much screwed. His office hours are terrible - just look at his office situation in general - so he isn't around to help. Nice guy, bad teach.

He's a fairly easy teacher if you just read the book. An awkward, but occasionally funny teacher. His lectures pretty much follow the book. Don't take him if you hate term papers tho.

He's a cutie, but he grades pretty hard on the term paper. Other than that, know the terms from the chapter and you'll be fine.

Ask him to tell you a NAVY story:) His test questions are often worded to make you mess up, but he grades easily on the essays if what you write is partially correct. The term paper is unnecessary. The more terms you use correctly, the happier he'll be. He has an incredible ability to tell when you aren't paying attention and then calls on you!

Brodsky taught the material pretty well and the tests were pretty easy for the most part. The assigned paper though is highly unnecessary and didn't really teach me anything new. Also, apparently economics is not interesting at all.

alert: he calls on you if you're not paying attention! He's really helpful though: I was behind in readings and emailed him that I was behind and asked him not to call on me. He's not going to call on me until I tell him I'm ready-simple as that. He DOES have a lesson plan: he covers what will be on the test in class. Read the book for more depth.

He's a nice guy, but the class was weird... we would have to read an entire chapter for each class, and then during that class he'd go over like 3 concepts we needed to know. A little more structure would be nice.

This class is not hard, it's just informal. If you need help, you can go up to him after class - it's that simple. I've done it, and he helped me. The material in the book can be tricky, but it's not impossible to grasp. He can be a little boring at times, but he does have his funny moments. Also, if you fall asleep.. good luck when he calls on you
