Tough class, take good notes, study them, remember them and you'll do just fine. Can't really afford to miss any classes, he moves at a quick pace. Tests are all define and short answer coming straight from your notes.

Classes tend to drag on, as it is all lecture. He takes everything straight from the lectures. I haven't cracked the book yet. The tests suck. They are all definitions and explanations, and I never had time to finish them. I wouldn't recommend him.

Avoid this class if possible. He grades very hard. You need to take perfect notes with examples, completely memorize ur notes, and do not forget anything for the test. Tests: 20 essay questions. Grades hard. This class is harder than my 400 level classes! DO NOT TAKE!!!

The class was ECO and Organized Crime. This was a very fun class. But as with all of his classes you have to go to class and take notes to get a good grade. I would recommend him as a professor; he is not the typical dry Economics professor.

Tough class. You need to have picture perfect notes. And on the test you have to memorize your notes forwards and backwards. Other words try and avoid this class.

Comment:
He's a fun professor and someone who seems like would make a great fan. He has a ton of cool stories from growing up in NYC. As for teaching, he quizzes exclusively from his notes, so you don't even need the textbook. Just make sure your notes are thorough and be prepared to remember everything on the quizzes.

He really knew the material, but sometimes he gets carried away with explainations. All of the exams are short answer (he wants defos of, like, everything).

Great teacher! Loved his class. You take a lot of notes, and the tests are short answer, but show up for the review and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Very interesting professor, puts Economics into perspective for the common man. His tests are short answer and essay...a bit hard but nothing that you wouldn't expect out of a college course.

I liked him a lot, you do have to take a lot of notes (by choice) and if you miss a class you are not going to know what happened. You don't use the book at all. Although you take a lot of notes and the tests are not a walk in the park I would recommend to anyone.

Comment:
A great teacher of economics. He did a good job of explaining things and is very helpful if u do have questions for him. However, u must show up for class and take notes bc he doesn't use the book. Pay very close attention bc the notes he puts on the board are very unclear and hard to follow. beware of his tests, he is an extremely hard grader!!!

He is a great professor. He does not use the book, because he has a lot of knowledge in the field. He teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand by using pop culture to explain Economics. I would take another class that he teaches.

This prof is hard. He expects students to attend class, pay attention, and take notes. His exams that require serious studying before hand. He must think he's teaching a college-level course or something.

I think he's a great teacher. His test are pretty straight forward but its a very good idea to take alot of notes. It does suck that test are the only way to get grades. And I think he kinda sounds like Chistopher Walken. I swear.
