Comment:

I actually tried and went to every class, he just seems incapable of teaching. He lectures all class long, reading from the powerpoint and doesn't involve the class at all. Boring, avoid.

Comment:

Easy teacher, not the best at explaining concepts. Recommend reading the book and getting a tutor. Lots of chances for extra credit which helps grade partially.

Comment:

His lectures are unclear and he rambles and repeats himself a lot. However, every other quiz is extra credit, plus extra credit paper. Tests are quizzes are easy. Posts study guides for quizzes and tests. Really nice guy, easy A!

Uses lots of real world examples during lectures to make the material understandable. Gives students plenty of opportunity to improve class grade via extra credit.

Comment:

Another A in his class. Wouldn't say it was as easy as the 200 level, but I made it through. Students must have been struggling because he gave 2 more extra credit points on tests on top of the normal 4 points extra credit. Take him if you can. Definitely learned a lot. Wish he taught the next level.

Comment:

This really was an easy class. He's not a joke because there were some students struggling (not me. I got an A). He offers 4 points xtra credit on each test from the quizzes which he helps you on (open book and students can talk to each other) and 8 xtra credit points from a quiz and 2 page paper on the final. Very kind prof. Take him if you can.

Easiest class I've ever taken. Didn't need to go to class because he taught nothing, 4 test bonus for all of them. Easiest college A ever.

Comment:

This guy is such a joke. Do not take him. He is NOT easy, and there is not a lot of extra credit. The extra credit is 4 possible points added to each 100 point exam. I would recommend any econ teacher over him. Actually, I'd recommend any english teacher over him. He's not clear, he doesn't teach, he's so boring. Avoid him.

Teaches straight to powerpoint. Not very clear and is not a great teacher. Class is made easy enough by study guides and extra credit work. Not recommended for Econ Majors/interests in Econ

An easy A. If your not an econ major take him. Gives study guides for tests and gives plenty of extra credit. Don't even need to go to class really. However, if your an econ major and want to learn something then avoid him.

Comment:

If you're just a doing this for the core (Undergrad or WCB) and don't really care about econ, he's ok. If you find econ a little interesting, think twice. If you are or are considering an econ major/minor, find ANYBODY esle (try Cobb). You spend your time watching videos and your test prep is groupwork. An easy A, but might not be worth it.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE IF YOU'RE AN ECON MAJOR! You will be in BIG trouble later on. Otherwise, take him, just for ease. No homework, tons of extra credit, tests are easy enough if you study a little before hand, and still not bad if you don't study. Definatley helped my GPA for that semester, but hurt it when I had to take ECON 306.

Comment:

Let's just say that if it weren'for the study guides that he gave out ... I probably would have failed. When it came time for tests I literally had to teach myself everything. He was very unclear and jumped around in subjects so that made him very hard to follow. Virtually no workload, until the test where you will have to teach yourself everything

He has no idea how to teach but his class really isn't that hard. If I wasn't so lazy I would have gotten an A easily but instead I got a very very easy B

Comment:

Great class if you want this to be an easy one. Not hard to get an A (you don't even need the book). It is terribly boring, though. He lectures to himself and he is very hard to follow, yet the tests are very straight-forward and easy. Lots of extra credit, too.

Comment:

I had him for Micro and took him again for Macro. One of the easiest profs on campus. Don't buy the book. I didn't and got an A in the class. He isn't very clear (he tries to help, but can't), but the easiness of the class is worth it. I would recommend if you don't care about economics.

Comment:

I think he was an awful professor. He was vague and annoying and never presented anything with clarity. He drove me crazy. His tests are pretty easy but his questions are vague and he gives way more material than is actually ever on the test. The class isn't worth the time.
