Comment:

Veseth is a great guy and the classes for the first third of the class kept everyone interested. The second third of the course was SO boring and everyone stopped doing the readings because we never had any reason to continue them. I wouldn't have graded so low if not for his TRULY unfair paper grading. Not a recommended class, I wouldn't re-take.

Comment:

Veseth is truly an amazing teacher. He does a great job of keeping me engaged in class with his mixture of lectures and videos. However, there is a lot of reading to do in this class. It is manageable, but difficult. Very fair grader. I would recommend "The Beautiful Game" to anyone.

Comment:

I am soooo happy that I chose him for my Thesis prof. He worked pretty hard to make you accountable to yourself and him. You work on things other than your thesis, but it is a manageable amount of work. He really helped you with your thesis, while making you work at the same time.

Veseth acts like a student and makes lots of nerdy jokes but is actually probably a genius. My favorite prof.

Comment:

Though his antics can be a bit frustrating at times, Veseth knows his stuff and tries to use clever maneuvers and words to get his point across. He is a tough grader and isn't always open to ideas that are not his, but he a great professor and more than willing to help with questions, as long as you see things his way. Take him for the experience.

Comment:

don't try to incorporate anything from other Econ classes, simply wants regurgitation of what he has taught. his analagies are almost as annoying as his constant bouncing and movement

Mike has a great way of teaching. Love his analogies and stories that he uses to get the knowledge out of his head and into yours.
