Great professor who cares about the course and student's success. He does his best in his lectures, even when students do not tend to pay attention. He could use a bit more of digital tools, such as power point, but even what he does is more than enough. I recommend!

I took his ECO2013 (Macroeconomics) this fall and its the worst decision Ive made. I am a A student, I did the see the reviews for him and I thought it couldnt be THAT bad but it is. He lectures every day, yells at us for not taking notes (although we all do), puts you on the spot then shames you if you dont know the answer. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Comment:
Literally going out of my way to take another professor for ECO2023. Tucker was rude, condescending, & extremely passive aggressive. Refused to answer questions in a professional manner. As a 30+ yo student, it was asinine to have a prof berate the entire class & basically tell us all we were going to fail. Not sure why TCC keeps him. HORRIBLE.

I am not going to lie, Tucker was a pretty decent teacher. It's pretty straightforward. His lectures are entertaining especially when he goes off on a brief tangent. The lectures help you understand the math portion of economics, while the online assessments helped you with what is going to be on the tests. He's an interesting character. 3.5/5

Do not take this professor!!! He is very condescending and if you have a question dont even think about asking it. He doesnt like to help students out and makes you feel stupid if you dont understand something. Is not good about responding to emails and has no respect for his students.

He is rude to students, and gets made for people preforming poorly even though he does not explain the material. I got a B in the class but his class sucked

I took Mr. Tucker for both Micro and Macro. He is very clear in his expectations and is willing to help you if he sees you are doing your best. His accent is easy to understand after the first couple classes. Don't skip if you can help it! And take good notes! You have to get used to him, but he's a great teacher. You'll learn a lot!

He is a really good professor. He knows what he teaches so if you go to class you can get a good grade. Focus on the lecture and read textbook!

Comment:
Tucker knows the material well, but he does a bad job testing on what he teaches. The tests are based off the book, not his lectures, so you can take all the notes you want but unless you read the book your gonna be lost. My other critique is that he responds very harshly to questions. A lot of people say his accent is horrid, its not that bad.

Comment:
He is impossible to understand. At first it seems like you might get used to it or that he would make an effort to be more clearer but it gets worse. He goes from whispering to suddenly shouting 1 or 2 words then back to whispering, as if the accent wasn't enough. Also never answers questions and if he does he makes you feel stupid for asking it.

Very skeptical about this teacher after reading reviews. I took him for macro and will be taking him again for micro not my 1st choice though Every class period is lecture and notes. Heavy accent so hard to understand at times and gets frustrated when you ask questions. Study and take good notes and do online hw and you'll pass with atleast a C

Professor Tucker was great! Ignore the negative reviews. If you put in the work, it's the easiest A you could get. All you have to do is listen to his lectures and read. He was also super nice... he let me take 2 of my exams (incl. final) early. If you apply yourself, he really likes you and will help you out however he can.

I highly recommend NO ONE to take this professor. I'm a very eager student to attain A's in all my courses. This was the only class I ended with a C in. This professor is hard to understand and impatient. Not easy to work with and gets irritated to answer questions. You basically teach yourself by reading the book. Tests are HARD. No extra credit.

It was extremely hard to understand him and our only grades were 5 point quizzes and the 100 point tests so if you don't do well on the tests your grade will reflect it

Ive taken Mr. Tucker for both micro and macro despite all the negative review. Im glad I ignored the reviews because Mr. Tucker is actually a great teacher. I would not say that im an overachiever and I am definitely lazy but if you have half a brain you should be able to pass this class. Follow the material in class do your HW you should be fine.

When I registered for this class, the instructor was "TBA." I always use this site and had I know it was this teacher, I would have elected to not take it with him. 1. On several occasions, he did not show up and sent a sub to give out worksheets. 2. Even if your answers are correct, no partial credit. 3. Very hard to understand. I dropped class!

Joke class. We got behind in the material and ended up taking the last exam 2 days before the final. Class is graded by points. 500 total, 450 is an A, there are 3 exams and a few homeworks. Some bonus points. Interesting material. Wish I had a different prof. Honestly you could skip all lectures, read the text & get an A if youre decently smart.

Honestly, I really enjoyed Mr. Tucker's class. I cant stand people who claim his accent is hard to understand. That's ignorance, he's completely articulate. He is brilliant but doesnt know how to teach at a novice level. He does get flustered if you dont grasp things immediately. Don't interrupt or argue. He expects you to behave like an adult.

Just like everyone else has said, Mr. Tucker is not an easy teacher and his class is not a joke. He will give partial credit on tests, but not too much. The homework is easy and his tests are difficult. He truly knows his material but has a difficult time teaching it the same way he tests it. Overall, not terrible, but yes hard and not an easy A.
