Comment:

I took his online course and it was a piece of cake. People except easy A's, its college. Do your work, and you will get the grade you deserve. He gave multiple extra credit assignments that were only about a page or so long and it was about the simplest things. Replies quickly to emails and truly wants his students to succeed! Great guy!

Get ready to teach yourself most of the material. Talks about himself most of the class and does not provide much help. Give almost zero feedback on graphing assignments. Only saving grace is the extra credit but it is not always easily doable, for example one extra credit assignment was attending 5 hour speaker on a Saturday.

Very smart man, kind of funny. Honestly to me he was an easy A. Do all the extra credit and there is possibly no way you can end up with less than a b

Hate to break it to you guys but to get an A you pretty much have to get the textbook and teach yourself everything. Lot of hard work but it's well worth it.

Comment:

Take advantage of all extra credit! He assigns four projects during the semester which are usually graphs done on excel. He lets you re do them so you should also take advantage of that. There are only two tests. Questions come straight from the information in the powerpoints so make sure to add your own notes to the slides during his lectures.

He's not a bad professor. His tests are really hard. He is a bit corny but it was kind of funny to me. He also was very nice to us freshman. I'm taking him for econ 1302. If you put in atleast some effort you will be rewarded.

Comment:

Do NOT Take This Professor. I had taken him for a Graduate Economics Course and was not happy at all with his performance. There is a Term Paper which he claims he will help you work on throughout the course via Weekly Assignments and the Midterm; however, all he does is show you how to find data that he later says is "Not A Good Source."

Comment:

His tests were the hardest. A lot of txtbk reading, several excel assignments & opportunities for extra credit, the final is cumulative. Class can get boring. His powerpoints sometimes don't make sense and he tends to talk really fast or skip over things. Print 4 slides per pg bc the ppts are long and take notes on them that way, its easier

Comment:

He just brags about himself the whole semester. The review sheet that he gives you for the test doesn't help at all. The test has questions that the review sheet or the slide shows does not explain about.

If you can please DONT take him. Class is boring and test is a little hard. 3 tests (50 MC), few homework. Never let the class leave early. You should work hard for a good grade.

Comment:

Lectures are long and boring. He's REALLY into himself, talks about himself most of the class then turns around and gives two IMPOSSIBLE exams. Occasionally will curve the exam. Four projects that very tedious. Try not to take his class. There are better economics professors.

Loved Clark. He is laid back and is a fair grader. I passed the class with an A, got a 74 on the first test and an 86 on the second, I'm not sure what I got on the final. He's very knowledgeable on the subject as he has a ton of experience.

Such a great and sweet professor! Fast and easy grader. The multiple choice tests may be difficult but he usually curves them! He also gives extra points all the time. Wants you to do well. He is very clear and knowledgeable.

Comment:

I was skeptical about Clark before these readings but he's not that bad at all. First test was easy and second test was hard but had a 20 point curve. Not to mention ten extra credit points on the exam and also countless extra credit opportunities for the exam. Although a liberal guy, his class is tolerable and makes the occasional funny joke.

Comment:

Not sure why he has such a bad rap, he's really not that bad. If you pay attention you can learn a lot. Clark is knowledgable and clear. His tests and assignments are relatively easy if you just put in a little effort. Bottom line, don't slack off and you'll do fine.

Honestly, i was intimidated by the course work at first. Alot of work to do;easy weekly quizes,2 kind of difficult tests which he curves, 4 essays and a final. You need to put in work, material isnt so hard but you get what you put in. Give it the time and effort? you'll get an A.

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. Stay away, if you have the option of taking someone else please do so. There's 2 Exams (50 multiple choice), 4 essays (very easy), & a final of 110 Questions #WTF. His questions are so confusing and nearly impossible to get the right answer. The quizzes are stuff he makes up, STAY AWAY!
