Read the textbook before class, do chapter quizes and you will pass. Do not expect to be spoonfed.I thought he was hard till I transferred to UBC.SFU is so easy and full of whiny kids.Carry your own weight.

I was pissed off with him for low grade until I took another labor economics course with Maki. Found out how good he is. Easy to tick off, though.

Comment:

Unclear marking criteria - marked essays solely based on correlation to his personal agendas. Seemed unwilling to explain his teaching style for student adjustment. Likes to go through the 'teaching motions' as opposed to actually exchanging with students.

Comment:

Never, ever, ever take anything from him. Most students knew more than him before the class even began. He gives grades based on what he wants to give you, not on any exams or assignments

I thought that all these people were wrong, but when I took his class..yes he sucks. Grading on the final was imposible, better off reading the book. Lucky for you cause he is gone.

He doesn't always give A's... and he can't teach... so by the end you know more than him from reading the book and then get a B.

A great prof! His depth of knowledge and high interest in the subject are evident in class discussions. His assignments challenge you to think and really question the currents of economic and political thought. A must if knowledge is what you seek!
