Comment:

Ed is clearly a smart guy and very nice. However, lectures could get disorganized, and he had a bad habit of getting halfway through some theorem, stopping when it became a mess of algebra and ensuring us we could finish it ourselves at home. Material isn't bad but presentation makes it harder. Office hours are fairly helpful though.

Comment:

Mr Kutsoti is very dedicated and knows his stuff. He may come across as disorganised but it's only because he is a genius and his thought proccesses are very profond and hard to kerp up with at times especially if you aren't reading as much. I have enjoyed every bit of the course because of him.

You cannot really avoid him since he's the only professor for EC16. The lectures were unclear, and he basically made easy materials harder to understand.

Comment:

Ed is a tragically bad teacher. During lectures, he bounces around from topic to topic, making mistakes and failing to link the material together into a cohesive lesson. Looking back on the material, it was all fairly easy, but his inability to teach made every problem set and test a struggle. Taught myself everything I learned, Ed is just terrible

Very smart but not very good at explaining. He's a great guy and is really nice but is not the best at making things clear. Tests are really hard but he curves.

Comment:

Ppts skip a lot of things, and lectures can sometimes be confusing. Exams are all about questions that ask you to provide intuition behind them, which is not easy because he never covers them in class. Last, sophomores be cautious if you want to enroll, most of your classmates are juniors who know a lot about finance, so the curve is horrible

Comment:

He simply didn't put in the effort. I left every class way more confused than when I entered it. He worked off notes that were hastily made and not reviewed before class. He probably was a good graduate teaching assistant, but he seems incapable of taking the next step to be a good professor.

I agree that he can be a bit disorganized but he does a good job explaining things and he's really friendly if you see him in office hours.

Comment:

This man the most heinous excuse for a professor I have ever seen. Honestly, I hope he never teaches again, because he doen't care at all about the teaching part of his job. He barely even did any work besides drone on and on during class

For the people who said Kutsoati isn't a good teacher, you guys are probably just stupid. If you go to class and make an effort you will understand everything, and this guy is incredibly smart. Best econ teacher at tufts.

Comment:

This class essentially reviewed easy parts of Math 12, and introduced differential equations, attempting to connect them to economics. But with only Micro as a prerequisite, he could not go into any depth. It was a fairly useless class, and Kutsoati is not the greatest of teachers
