Comment:

Took this in the summer and it wasn't too bad. 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and a final. Class was useless though as I didn't understand a thing he said due to his thick accent. He gets frustrated easily but he's a nice guy. Quizzes were also on the midterm so that helped but it is pretty hard if economics is not your strength. Self teach or get a tutor.

Comment:

Part-time professor from York Uni. Fairly easy subject for anyone who has a background in economics, otherwise you are screwed. He seems to have enough knowledge to deliver the subject but, he has brutally bad oral communication with lack of devotion to students and the lectures.

Comment:

Professor Lee is very hard to understand because of his accent. However, this class doesn't really need a professor because the textbook is very good at explaining everything. He provides excellent test samples that are very similar to his actual tests. Promptly replies to e-mails as well. All around good prof

Apart from his accent he wasn't clear and enthusiastic while teaching. His lectures seem easy but it doesn't prepare you for the final exam at all.

Great Prof. David Lee always replies to emails, and the exam and assignment were very fair. It isn't hard to do well, as long as you put in the time and effort to study the practice questions before the exam. Make sure you study and know all the practice questions inside and out before the exam and you will do well. Great prof.

Comment:

The material for intermediate macro ii is fairly straightforward, read the book, show up, and learn the models. The key to this course are his lecture notes and the practise tests. You can tell he also loves to talk about history which is nice because it puts things in context. Lee is a stand up professor and you would be lucky to have him.

Comment:

He's a little difficult to understand, but you'll kind of get used to it. Make sure you understand his online notes well and show up to class to get the answers to them. Do textbook questions to become familiar with your calculator. His notes are his midterms and exam, so really understand the step-by-step processes of each chapter!

He cares about his students. Midterm/exam questions were straight from his notes/textbook. Never thought I would get an A in math but I DID.

Comment:

Very straightforward class. Simply pay attention to his mock tests as they will be a good indication of what is actually going to be tested. As this was an online course, there is limited to say. The work was minimal at best giving you lots of free time. The board discussion marks aren't that bad either as they do not require much time commitment.

he seems like a nice guy but honestly you won't understand a single word this man says!!if you're the type that study on their own and do well on the exam then his class is for you but if you'r paying for an INSTRUCTOR to teach you the material then AVOID!

He has an accent that no one will understand, but he always posts up reviews for test which are very similar to exams and are very useful. The class is really boring.
