Comment:

This is a labor intensive class. There is a lot of work to do 4 the class. If u make the effort and do the work you will pass. He works to scare people out of class early. It is not as difficult as it seems on the first day. The first quiz is statistics, and then it gets easier. I did poor on the quiz, but I got a B. Do the work and u will pass.

Comment:

He is very clear on what he expects from you. He gives you an outline of chapter highlights for each chapter and this is ALL he tests on!! Study these and you will be set for the test. Also, his final is ONLY on material from the first tests so just study those and you will be fine. A little odd but a really nice guy!

Comment:

HARD CLASS. He is too smart for his own good. This is one of those prof's that is really qualified to teach, but doesn't know how too. IT is basically all statistical work and very little economics. Not an easy subject with a tough teacher. AVOID.

Comment:

He is a higher quality teacher than most ECON teachers, but I did not like his style. His exams are very difficult, so prepare well. I my final grade was one thenth of a percent from an A and he would not round up, even though I received the highest grade on the final. I did not find him to be a helpful teacher, and he is definitely not fair.

Decent teacher. Material isn't very difficult, but sitting through the class it. It's ok though, you can miss and it doesn't hurt you. Just read the book.

Comment:

His lectures are very boring at times, and he tends to hammer the same point over and over. The class consists of 4 tests and a cummulative final. The tests can be a bit difficult at first, but just look at the learning objectives and the text site, and you should be fine. Overall, an average cla

Great lectures. Uses excellent examples in class to relate text material to real life. Follow along and understand what he talks about, and study the learning objectives, and tests should be simple.

he is a very bad teacher.. his topics never relate anything near the test.. there is never enough time to finish the test.. got a lot of sleep.. i found it more helpful not to come to class and just read straight out of the book..
