He is a very good teacher. Explains everything in a simple and effective manner and many times so u WILL understand. i had never studied Economics before and I got an A+ so u can guess how well he teaches. Really enjoyed his class. Just attend his classes and take notes.

Comment:

Had Zill at another campus. Incredible! Tough but fair. Not easy, but he did make Micro-Econ entertaining. Moderate use of book, mostly lecture. Anyone who complains about him is a slacker who doesn?t want to work. I studied, put effort into the term paper, and got an A. Anyone who complains about him should drop out of college and flip my burgers!

Comment:

this has to be the best Econ teacher I have ever had, and this is my major so that is saying a lot. He doesnt use the book so dont bother reading it, his style of teaching is very good and you will learn just by sitting there...if u cant pass his class u r retarded and need to go back to high school. if hes available for the semester take him!!!

Fun lecture & style. Lectures and exams both straightforward, but a few problems in each exam were tricky and vague. Got to attend all the classes and take notes carefully to cover the tricky problems. Overall good teacher.

Study Guide was useless. Did bad on both exams and most likely the final and received a C. Make sure to do the online homework. Don't really have to attend lectures.

Comment:

Very solid professor. All you need to do is come to class and do the homework. He goes over the topics many times so you will be able to understand and do well on the exams. Exams are easy if you study your notes. I highly recommend this teacher if you're the kind of person that wants to learn something out of a class.

i hate this class and i hate him. he's a perfectionist and expects you to learn everything HIS WAY. doesn't even use the book to lecture. his voice is very annoying as well and his study guide is useless.
