Comment:
He tells you what is going to be on the test. He lectures almost every class. Although I did well in the class, I don't necessarily feel prepared for the next econ class. Overall, a successful lecturer though.

Comment:
Had him for a topic I wasn't really interested in. He's really nice and funny but he kind of drones on in his lectures. He is very passionate about his subject though and you can tell he enjoys teaching the class. As an advisor he didn't really do much--if you want help from him you must be persistent.

Comment:
Intro to Macroeconomics. I strongly recommend not only this class, but this professor! I never had any interest in this field but after taking this class, i found huge interest in economics. He is very passionate and helpful. Attendance is not mandatory but you want to go to class. Tests are not that hard if you go to class regularly.

Nice guy, tells you everything that's gonna be on the tests. Except the final. The final is as close to impossible as you're going to get; the style between the first 2 exams and the final is 180 degrees.

If you sign up for a course with Eddie Mac, be prepared. He will drop some serious knowledge on you starting from day 1. He may seem a bit nerdy but he knows whats going on. Overall great guy, difficult course material, but his tests are not overly difficult. Don't hate. Congratulate. Take his class

Ed will bend over backwards for his senior sem. students and write great recommendations for them. If you show up to class and have half a brain you'll get at least a B. I can't read and got straight A's in his class.

He's not that hard if you like Economics, but if you don't you'll hate it. If you hate this class, don't be an econ major. McPhail is very approachable, and he's very religious about his office hours.

Professor McPhail is a great guy. These other people are drinking too much Haterade. If you are mildly intelligent, macro shouldn't be that hard. He's a fair grader and does a strong job of explaining the material. If you're not retarted, you're ok
