Comment:
If you are one of those people who can get by reading on their own then you should be fine. Midterm and Final are essay format.Professor does not take attendance or assign home work.Slow when he speaks, loses train of thought, hard to understand what it is hes talking about. Reccommendation: If your looking to learn, find someone else. ~trust me~

Comment:
This man is perhaps one of the more miserable, nasty professors on campus. He does little to nothing to help the student. However, he gives the midterm and final days before given, along with the answers. Laptops can be used in class and he never takes attendance. I never went but went the week before the midterm and final and got a B+.

Very easy class. No homework, only gives a mid-term and final which are made by the textbook company and are multiple choice so if you read the textbook, you'll be fine. If you're not interested in econ but need to take it, take this class.

Comment:
Don't get this teacher, i took him because i knew someone who had his class before and though i could get the notes but having his notes and going to class did not help.... the only thing i've learned in his class is that he dislikes rap music.... If you think you can work your way through this class do yourself a favor, take another professor

The worst professor ever you would ever get in your whole college years. He's not willing to help you AT ALL. he will not answer your qustions on textbooks or grade. He thinks students are playing games when they argue. that's BS, we have the right to "want" a better grade! Don't take his class!!!!

What a waste. This class was mildly entertaining hearing him whine about 'todays student' and how cows farting depletes the Ozone layer...yeah hes that much of a wako. Please don't subject yourself to such a person. Run...Run away.

Comment:
Assigns lots of long readings but no one ever does them, doesn't check work. Gave us midterm ? two days before and we can cheat by putting it on laptop. Lectures are pretty boring and most people just play their laptops, never even takes attendance. Sucks b/c midterm is 35% and final 65% of grade and he's kind of a harsh grader.

this class is the easiest! i only came like 5 times, and passed with a C. He only gives a midterm and a final. The midterm and the final is just an essay you have to write, and he lets you use your laptop. easy to pass, but do not expect to learn anything.

I slept everyday for his class. Half my class never showed. We would play poker on the computer in the back of the class room. The worst prof you could ever get.

I ONLY ATTENDED THE FIRST CLASS AND I IMMEDIATELY WITHDREW (BACK IN 1993). HE LOOKED STRAIGHT UP AT THE CEILING AND NEVER MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ANYONE IN THE CLASSROOM. HE SEEMED UNINTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT MATTER AND WOULD NOT GIVE THE NAME OF THE TEXTBOOK WHEN ASKED.

Register as soon as possible so that you don't have to take his class. Otherwise, be prepared to ruin your GPA and fun for the subject.
