Comment:

He is a true gem. I felt that I learned a lot from him. He uses real life examples. Read the book, study for quizzes, and the exams. They can be tricky. To bad he had retired after this semester. He is a good professor for Econ to where you can learn the subject.

Greg is a great econ professor! he is very knowledgeable, experienced and provides great examples. Most of your grade is based on how you do on the exams. Everything you need to pass is from the lecture, didn't even use the textbook. Just know that tardiness is not accepted, so beware when choosing an early start time.

Professor Rose knows his stuff. Lectures are very clear and he makes the content easy to understand. You can learn everything you need to know (at least in ECON302) from what he gives you in lecture. Just show up and pay attention, you'll do well with Prof. Rose.

Greg was fantastic. I really loved his teaching style and terrible jokes with participation. CourseTutor is a must have resource for hands on problems. That and homework really prep you for tests and quizzes. Absolutely no tech allowed in the class room or you'll get kicked out. Try your hardest and make sure you go to office hours with questions.

I really liked Professor Rose. He was really nice, funny and an easy going guy. He really helps you understand such a difficult subject like economics by giving many examples and making the class repeat it. He makes a few inappropriate jokes, but come on guys we are all adults; get over it. I am definitely going to take him for Econ 304.

Comment:

You MUST take this teacher! I took Rose for ECON 302/304 and I don't regret it. He's lecture heavy & requires you to participate, but they're really interesting. The class itself is hard though, it's not an easy A. I highly recommend reading the textbook before lectures. If you pay attention in class and do the homework, you can definitely get a B.

Professor Rose is amazing and funny, he is great at tying economics to life. He will open your perspective to economics in every day life situations. What he has taught me, I still use to this day. Go see him during his office hours too, he loves to help out.

Comment:

Good Professor, he is really clear, the class is fun, and the best thing you get an A if you are between 85-100. His test are easy if you put attention in class. He tells you to do the readings, but tbh you don't need them if you are in class. I never touched my book. Homework is really easy and can be done in 5-10 minutes.

Comment:

I have to strongly disagree with the negative reviews. Greg Rose is the most concise, knowledgable, inspiring professor I have ever had. If you're like me and it takes you a little while to understand econ concepts, this is the prof to take. Grading scale makes it extremely possible to get an A, and you'll feel like an expert when you're done!

Comment:

Best econ prof at Sac City by far! He is hilarious, uses great examples and is repetitive on purpose because the concepts can be extremely hard sometimes. He really wants his students to succeed! The class isn't easy by any means but if you show up and do all the work, you can pass. His threshold for an A is at 85% cause he knows its hard stuff!

Comment:

Hilarious, interesting stories throughout the semester. Organized, methodical, and REPETITIVE. He really makes sure you understand concepts before getting into specifics. It will be to your benefit to be a fairly strong writer, but he makes his tests doable for those who are not. No pop quizzes, homework (besides reading), or busy work.

Greg has a way of presenting Econ where it is easily understood and very relatable. His tests aren't too bad, just requires studying as usual. Really not a difficult class if you show up, do the work and study. He also made macro econ very interesting for me. And honestly, I don't think I even opened the textbook.

Comment:

Makes the material seem accessible to students who otherwise wouldn't be interested in economics. Really goes over the basics; helpful for students looking to continue on with the subject (provides a good foundation). Exam topics are covered in class, but tests do require additional studying. Attendance taken infrequently.

Professor Rose has a clear and concise way of teaching economics. Take good notes. It may seem repetitive but it's like Karate Kid, he is preparing you for his exams. You will get a feel for them when you take his difficult quizzes. Final is worth 50% of your grade. He is helpful after class and during office hours.

Greg Rose is the man. Has a kinda unique style of lecturing, where he asks a ton of rhetorical questions and will ask you to repeat things he says--at first I was put off by it, but I ended up liking it. He's pretty funny and makes econ a lot more interesting than it should be.

Comment:

I have no doubt Prof. rose is an intelligent guy, however his teaching style and personality do not mesh well with me. Requires constant reiteration "participation" that is really distracting and lectures are painfully slow. He has an egotistical attitude and often times made me uncomfortable to the point where wouldn't ever go to his office.
