Such a nice guy, and genuinely knows a lot about all the info hes teaching you. Always available for extra help as long as you email him. I thought economics would be the hardest class in the world and I ended up with a B+ and learned a lot. Highly recommend this professor

Comment:

he is a great professor, gives you alot of opportunities to raise your grades. Tests arent too hard, if you have a basic understanding of the material and take notes you should be fine. He does use the text books alot and its best to get the latest edition so that its easier for you to follow along

Comment:

This professor is great. I didn't think I'd be interested in this class because I'm culinary but he made the class interesting. I enjoyed going to class (on most days). He's clear on what is on the tests/quizzes and he has some humor. He's a fair grader; the class is easy when you pay attention. He doesn't use PPT so it's important to go to class.

Professor Christopher is the kind of old fashion style which I was looking for. He doesn't give out meaningless projects and he makes the class clear and easy. Nice talking to him... I've already miss him from last trimester.

Comment:

I just started this class and he is by far my best teacher so far this tri. He makes jokes randomly which lightens the mood of the class and seems like a very sweet guy who is willing to help his students with anything for them to succeed. I wish I could have his class 4 days a week instead of some of my others...

Comment:

Had him from Micro, incredibly amusing teacher! He makes Economics seem fun. His jokes, which he slips in at random times make you stop and go "what?", but you know he's kidding! A good teacher, gives full handouts of each chapter and extra credit. Very clear and concise, no BSing you.

Comment:

One of the best professors at JWU. He is very nice and HILLARIOUS. Very easy going guy and as long as you communicate with him he doesn't really care what you do. He teaches very clearly and always makes jokes to make you remember what he said. I would definitely take him again!

Professor Christopher is by far my favorite professor so far at here. He was very helpful with just about everything and made a fairly dry subject interesting.

Comment:

Microeconomics: Economics is a very dry subject and many find it hard to understand. Prof. Christopher offers extra credit and work sheets to prepare for the test. The tests are not extremely difficult. He does try and make pointless jokes such as "are you ready for the 100 question test?" and the whole class knows there is not one. I say take him.

Comment:

Overall, decent teacher. He does a decent job explaining material, but he spends more time repeating himself or trying to make lame jokes. The class was fairly easy if you understand economics. Also has no skill at all when it comes to controlling the class. Beats me how he's the Economics department chair.

Very nice professor with a good sense of humor. Very enthusiastic about the subject. Not bad at all for an honors class. You will NEVER get out of class early though.

Comment:

This guy can NOT teach. He knows economics but does not have the skill to pass it on. He is old and expects you to teach your self. He also forgets a lot but no in my class would say anything to him just behind his back. He jokes around to much it confused everyone one what the right answers were.

He is the best professor you could ever have. So friendly and very understanding. He is very approachable and is always there if you need any help with anything. He knows what he's talking about and has a way of making you want to listen. And he really is adorable for an older man. Such a sweetheart.

Comment:

His honors class was not that horrific. Especially if you had a buddy who took it before you and saved his/her quizes. I took it solely to get both economics courses out of the way. If you are looking to do this make sure you bring a pillow, he's funny when sarcastic, but it IS economics
