Extremely boring method of presentation, reciting dry lecture notes in his monotone. Aloof and arrogant. Should really be removed from student interaction as he will draw away good students from the otherwise interesting field of economics.

The most boring professor I have ever had. Reads off the slide. Dry jokes that no one laughs at. Lectures are like manuals.

Comment:
Deathly boring. Classes are a complete waste of time and will put you to sleep, cuz he just reads off his slides the whole time, and everything is on the handouts anyway. Belabors every point to death. Problem sets are tedious and a joke, and tests involve among other things regurgitating his definitions and explanations.

Comment:
This class was pretty easy. The tests were easy, the p-sets were superfluous and his lecturing is extremely boring. Excellent notes and computational resources. His wit is as unimpressive as his ability to enliven the material. Granted, it is econometrics, but this stuff can be exciting if you think of uses and theory beyond petty p-sets.

The worst professor in the department. He talks to the chalkboard all class and lecture is so useless because every single thing that he says is in the handouts. Extremely unhelpful and arrogant too.

Very clear, exceptionally dedicated to helping students and making sure you understand everything perfectly, gives any amount of help outside of class- class requires work but is very straightforward

nicest prof. gives you everything you need in lecture notes. clear and slows down if you need him outside of class. wants to see his students get it- very willing to help you through hw and on tests. not super exciting, but makes econ managable

One of the best guys around. You will learn the material if you pay attention and do the work. He provides good foundation material needed for upper level econs.
