Comment:
If you want to be challenged in a college course, take him. Took him for Inter. Macro, and after reading the reviews here I was hesitant. But now I am glad I did. Throughout my entire college career I have never learned as much as I did in his class. If you put in the work, you do fine. Never actually opened the book, just went to every class

Macritchie is an excellent professor. I had him for Intermediate Macroeconomics. One of the best professors I've ever had. I learned a lot of information that I retained. If you show up to class, take detailed notes, and really do the questions in the packet for each chapter you will succeed. This is a real college course.

Comment:
worst professor Ive had. he teaches the subject as we already know the material opposed to as were trying to learn the material exams are very difficult, lecture notes are not clear and graphs are very hard to interpret He will draw a graph on the board unlabeled with multiple curves meaning a million things, and does not care about student sucess

This man does not want anybody to pass his class he enjoys failing people. Do not take this class with him. If you have to take this class at a different school and get the credits transferred. Do not waste your time with this guy.

By far one of the hardest professors that I have had so far. Did not take into account that most students were adult learners with jobs outside of going to school. Homework assignments were unreasonable. Test were extremely difficult.

I had him for Microeconomics. He is very difficult if you are a visual learner. All of his notes are verbal so if you are use to taking notes on the board, DO NOT take him.

Very hard. All of his notes are verbal. He barely uses the board to write notes so if you are a visual learner, DO NOT take him. His tests are difficult. He is a good guy but tends to favor the women.

super hard, definitely is not helpful. subject matter was difficult and his explanations were even more confusing. Never teaches to the book, all his tests are harder than the practice tests he gives. Makes you take a test and then teaches after giving you 2 hours to complete the test.

Hands down the worst professor I've had in my education career.He does not apply content to real life and makes it far more difficult than it needs to be to make himself look smart.He teaches Graduate level Quant in the MHA program and has no regard for the learning needs of adult students or the fact that most in the class are not math majors.

I took him for Quant 2 which is basically a stats class. I took stats in high school thought it was pretty easy but when I took it with him he made it seem 100 times harder than it actually was. I would not recommend taking this class at all he is a very nice guy but a horrible teacher. Plus he makes you write 10-20 page essay (yes essays for a qua

He has a stick up his ass. If you get the stuff you are good. If you don't get it, you are not going to get much help. Has a habit of singling people out. Likes to go harder on males.
