Comment:

EASILY the best teacher I have ever had. Most importantly, he is just great at actually teaching. Even with no economics background, you should do fine. Be aware, 3 tests make up 90% of your grade. This sounds scary but its not. Take notes, study and he curves all the grades. I would take him again in an instant.

Best professor ever! Talks every class, barely any homework, and tells lots of real life stories to make the class easier to understand and more fun. Tests are very fair, only 3 in the semester. If you participate and show you care, you'll get an A. He's hilarious and really cares about his students. Best professor I've had, take him if you can!!

Hands down the greatest professor at this school. One of the few ones left from years ago that actually cares about teaching, students, and the community.

By far my favorite professor. He is an extremely intelligent guy with tons of great stories. His class is mostly lecture but he does a good jib of explaining concepts and uses examples to make his point. Great professor, doesn't give much homework, if any. Tests are hard but if you study they are manageable. Really fun class, would highly recommend

Great Professor- he has a real interest in the subject and you. Tests are hard and make up almost all of your grade, but if you put in the effort to listen and understand you should be alright.

If you have the chance, take him! He's an amazing professor. Cares about him students and their grades, he may be intimidating at first but he's a great guy. I've taken two classes with him so far and I'm looking forward to taking some more.

Dr. Trees is such an amazing professor. I love that he doesn't use powerpoints. It is mostly a lecture. He lets you use a 6x4 notecard on every test. There are 3 tests within the semester and quizzes on a book that boosts your grade up. He curves your grade a lot. Take him!

Let me put it this way - he should probably be teaching at an Ivy League school. Simply put.

Comment:

Probably the best professor at Siena. He's pretty tough, his three tests for the semester count for the majority of your grade. He lets you bring an index card with notes to test, but his exams are still pretty difficult. He's also a really nice guy, and although he's a tough professor, he really does want you to do well and will work with you.
