This Professor is the greatest Econ Prof at Rutgers for Non-Econ majors! He curved every single quiz and exam. He did a before and after review for every quiz and exam. Our class didn't fare so well on a quiz so he gave the whole class the chance to do a make up to replace that quiz. He really wants you to learn!

John is a really caring prof and will help you out whenever you need, he offered to stay after class and discuss the information as long as you would like after every class. Lectures are really thorough and easy to understand, you dont need to get the book if you pay attention in class and write down the things that are clearly important.

Professor Italia is the gold standard of teaching at Rutgers . They could literally pay this guy to show other professors how to show concern for students. Email response time is incredible. Very patient and doesnt give up until u understand if you seek out his help. But the course still requires you to study .

I love him! AMAZING teacher & person. The difference between him and other teachers is that he actually wants you to like and understand economics, not be turned off by it. He will do anything to make you feel comfortable and confident in the material he's teaching. If you have the opportunity to take a class with him, do it. He was born to teach.

John's microecon was one of the best classes I've had at Rutgers. Great instructor / you can tell he does this because he wants to be there. Very smart guy but also there to support you in ways that other instructors couldn't be bothered with. Really appreciate his coming late on nights before exams to help students study. great guy.

Literally one of the nicest people I have ever met. Genuinely cares about his students and tries to explain things many times and as clear as possible. Always throws extra points and curves a lot, and has reviews. Class was much harder than expected and he is the only reason I passed. Does not take attendance but book is useless, so go to class.

One of the best professors at Rutgers. He's very nice and is very understanding of his students. Always willing to help by answering questions and holding review sessions, usually curves the exam grades. Quizzes and midterm/final exams are easy, but you have to study. All you have to do to pass this class is literally show up and take decent notes.

He is honestly one of the best professors in Rutgers. I wish he taught more classes so I could take him again. Got me into economics and now I plan on being an Econ major. You are not required but should show up for class and take notes. As long as you pay attention, this is an easy A.

This guy will be the best professor you will ever have at rutgers. Most professors nowadays treat college kids like second class citizens, especially if you are a freshman. John Italia manages to make you feel cared for even in a room of 100 kids. An easy A if you go to class. I never had to open the textbook. He goes over everything b4 the test.

You need to study minimally for this class. Goto class, take notes, and you will do fine. I did great in the beginning, started slacking off in the middle of the semester, and then got back up in the end, and I ended with an A! He curves the final good! He is the sweetest econ professor! He wants you to learn! And he offers help all the time!

By far the BEST and most fair professor at Rutgers. He is a class act. He will teach you until you understand everything and will even come in on days in which he doesn't have class or office hours just to help you.

I was not sure if I wanted to minor in Economics so I just took this class. It is a bit hard, you have to put in the time and pay attention to the lectures but the professor is really reliable. He is always there if you need help.

Italia is like the nicest econ professor! If you have to take a microecon class, besides Intro to Microecon, take it with this guy! The only fault about him is "skip class? You won't pass." He doesn't provide any notes. He only lectures for like an hour and expects you to get all the info down on paper. You can get A, but you need to work for it.

He definately cares about students actually understanding the material and is very accessible via phone email on evening and weekends. Works very hard to make a somewhat complex topic simplified and accessible. Very straigtforwrd no tricks. All around awesome instructor, reccomended to anyone who needs Micro.

I had this professor for Microeconomics Fall 2014. He is a nice professor, but his lectures are confusing, well for me they were. He didn't use powerpoints, so he just talks, so you miss a lot of material if you don't pay close attention. You may need to ask for additional help when learning the graphs.

This professor is the MAN. I was unsure about my major (I knew I wanted something towards economics) but his microeconomics class got me hooked. He is so clear, he is always open to questions, and he is always there for the students, which in my opinion is the most important part. HIGHLY recommend.
