Comment:

I started off really hating this guy because he has a different style. His lectures would make sense some of the time. He would assign papers and forget he assigned them to us which gave my class lots of anxiety. However, he does care about his students deeply which led me to like him more. Lots of E.C. just be prepared to flow with how he teaches.

Writes his own book which mind you is filled with gramatical errors, not to mention he changes one chapter a year so that students have to pay $80 for the book. Quizzes are fairly easy however prepare for the midterm and final to make no sense whatsoever.

Comment:

Took for macroeconomics. Teaches us stuff we are actually going to use, how to invest, defined contribution plan, how to buy right. The quizzes are easy if you show up to breakfast club and also receive extra credit. One of my best teachers 10/10 would recommend. We actually use the book, it has the answers, and they are in order

He's very knowledgeable! I took the class online and he is the only professor that ever cared enough to personally call each of his students to check in with us several times throughout the class.

I took him as an online teacher. As long as you have any edition of his book it will be okay. He gives weekly online quizzes. Obviously open book. He wants you to buy a book on his website, but its expensive. I would check amazon first. I used an older version and it still worked. Took him 2017 and used 2014 and still got an A.

He was nice professor but was kind of all over the place. Forgot a lot of things and would sometimes assign things but never collect them. Overall decent for a gen ed.

Started out with a man crush on this teacher, funny and smart. Although, as the semester went on I started disliking him a little. He's VERY political. Loved his stories in class and is a very knowledgable man. I would have no problems with the course had he not brought his opinions into it. Pretty easy A if you take advantage of breakfast clubs.

Great Professor, loved every second of it. It's a hard subject, but if you pay attention, you'll have no problems. The "Hill Stories" are good, and always pertain to the subject. Highly respectable, he really teaches life lessons. I will remember what he taught me for my life.

Hes a pretty easy teacher. I admit the might not know how to Teach, but as long as you go to class, pass his quizzes, do your index cards, go to breakfast club, & ask for help. He will give you a good grade as long as you try and show him your effort. He didn't fail anyone in my class.

Dr. Hill is very into economics! His class is easy, just take notes, do the homework, prepare for daily quizzes (worth 10 points), flashcards due once a week. Everything is worth 10 points, except the tests are worth over 300 points, BUT there is a study guide. Which is PRETTY MUCH the SAME thing as the test :) A lot of extra credit offered.

Comment:

He's a crazy old man and his grading method can be pretty confusing. But whenever he has to grade your work he skims over it quickly so there's a good chance of getting a better grade than you earned. There are quizzes everyday. Overall, he was a good professor just tedious assignments (notecards).

Come to class and actually pay attention and you will learn something. I learned a lot and actually put some work into the class. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard. Go to class, listen, and study a little bit and you'll get an A in the class. He has some good stories and is a funny guy.

Dr HIll was the best professor I have ever had. Truly knew his material in and out. Wanted scholars in his class so he pushed hard. Quizzes every day were like a review from previous class. Really made it true life economic situations we would all go thru. wish he taught more! absolutely loved him and this class! highly recommend this class!!

Terrible teacher, after you take him you'll know what I mean. Many people got D's and F's on the midterm and he can't figure out why? Watch out you'll think the class is a joke and fun until you see how biased he is when he gives you you're final grade. I'd Never take him again...

Comment:

A really knowledgeable professor who has an interesting way to teach the class. He always calls on different people so be ready to get called on quite a bit. Make sure you buy enough flash cards to drown yourself in because he does require them. Only bad thing is his "textbook" that looks like printed PowerPoint slides and costs a whopping $100!

Comment:

Took for Macro online. Like the format of his online class, no due dates, all due at the end. Had 3 papers, weekly quiz, midterm, and final. Tough subject matter, but he was always willing to help, he even called you on the weekends. 1 drawback, the "textbook" was his own book he wrote that wasn't even copyrighted and it cost $100! outrageous!
