Comment:

His lectures are mind numbing boring. It's impossible to pay attention for an entire lecture. He isn't very good at explaining things. Luckily, he is a generous grader for tests. His tests were literally exactly what we did in class. There was a lot of material to learn.

Found that he rambled through the course material, quite hard to understand what he was saying. He is definitely a tough grader, so you better study hard!

Comment:

Hardest prof I've had ever had. I'm now a 3rd year student. Written question on midterms and finals carry a substantial amount of weight on your exams, and he likes it when you write long written answers. Don't lose marks for not writing enough about the topic if you know more. I also didn't like the text book he used.

Comment:

Brutal professor. Its clear that he is fascinated with the study of economics, and he clearly knows his stuff. But when it comes to teaching it to students, forget about learning anything in class. His lectures are dreadfully dull, and he consistently repeats himself to the point of annoyance. The textbook is a must buy if you want to pass.

Nice guy, tried to be enthusiastic in class but it's just such a dry course. Made it clear how important the graphs are but had a terrible class average due to the difficulty of his tests. Explain as much as you can in his word problems and study hard.

Horrible prof compared to other Econ profs. Makes economics complicated and never reviewed. Tests are very hard. If you take his class study the notes.

He knows how dull the material is and he tries to make it as clear as possible. He is really helpful when you ask questions and if you take good notes, you will have an easier time on the midterms

Dreadfully dull lectures. Exam mc questions are annoying and difficult to decipher sometimes, but they aren't unfair. He gives you a choice of what to answer for the written questions though, which is nice. Overall you're better off just reading the textbook.

Comment:

Just puts up formulas, when asked to give an example he refuses. Impossible to know what to study when he wont even tell us what he's going to be asking. Impossible to follow his courses, makes no effort to make anything interesting.

Comment:

This guy talks in riddles as fast as lightning! Better keep up, because he goes through 14 chapters in a semester. His notes are slightly confusing, but don't buy the book. If you can decipher his notes, his tests are surprisingly easy and self explanatory. ALWAYS write more than you think you need too & describe everything, he likes that.

Comment:

This class will bore you to tears. It was a horrible class to have early in the morning, as his lectures were very dry and he would use confusing language. Often made mistakes, and back tracked which was very confusing. Long story short, I wouldn't take him again.

Comment:

He is extermly dry and will bore you to tears. He's not too difficult, but it's simply hard to like the sibject as he goes on ad-nauseaum about simple calculations and takes 15 minutes to define a term he's talking about. Slow, dull class.

Comment:

Friendly man, but he is a bit hard when it comes to teaching! Make sure you know how to do everything, because his tests have 3 sections, and each section has 3 question. U get to pick one section to complete, but there is always a very hard question that gets everyone in each section :( Study hard and you will do fine

Comment:

Hard coursework, if you read the text book and attend classes you'll keep up. Hard marker, but if you ask for help he will explain things in more detail. Expect the whole class to bomb the first midterm, but it gets easier as the concepts tie together in the end.

Comment:

Extremely hard to understand what he was explaining. Would change around the words from sentence to sentence so you're not sure if you understand what he is saying. Also blamed the class for giving him a bad reputation with our extremely low grades. His multiple choice questions are very wordy/hard to comprehend.
