Comment:

Drabicki is a fun professor to have, especially if you are conservative. 2/3 of the class is lecture while about 1/3 is him talking about random stuff that vaguely pertains to the material. Test questions are ripped straight from his lectures, and you get the test questions ahead of time. not time consuming at all. 3 tests and an optional final

Comment:

You'll do well if you exert yourself. The thing that kills me about the prof is that he's packed full of right wing supply-side indoctrination. His lectures would leave an unknowing undergrad to believe that a slightly higher marginal tax rate on the capitalist class would be devastating, and would discourage innovation. LOL! Avoid.

Comment:

Doesn't like to take questions or have any class discussion. Talks a lot about having tenure. Grades down based on whether you follow his exact formatting style during exams. Doesn't learn a single name of any student. Says etc., etc., etc. way too much...almost obsessively.

BEST ECON TEACHER YOU WILL FIND. While other may seem like they know what they are talking about, he actually does! Class is easy, if you go and pay attention. Essentially you write your own macro book with notes. This guy is incredible. Two thumbs up.

Comment:

This class is straight forward and simple, but you have to study and put in the work. He gives you review sheets and only asks questions on the sheet for tests and quizzes. But there are LOTS of potential questions and it'd be impossible to memorize without understanding, so study! He even held review sessions on his own time before tests.

Comment:

Drabicki's smart, teaches well, and has the occasional funny joke. His tests and quizzes are straightforward; he doesn't give anything that isn't on the review packet. That being said, avoid the Honors section if at all possible. About 20% of the honors final is made up of stuff that is never discussed or mentioned in class.

drabicki is a little loony and super conservative. once you get past that, the class is pretty easy. just do the review guides and memorize them for quizzes/tests and the class is cake.

this guy is a great teacher. He keeps your attention with lame jokes that actually come across as very funny that early in the morning. I didn't do so well in both of his classes that I took but enjoyed them the most out of all my Econ classes
