Nice guy, horrible teacher. Teaches nothing on what you are learning that week, spends majority of class wasting time talking about his family. Offers help outside of class but also seems likes he doesn't want to be bothered in his office. Exams are taken online by a monitored computer program and what is discussed in class doesn't relate to hw.

Took ECON 201 as a hybrid course. Very easy homework. Does get off topic during lectures but still gets to the point. Exams are easy.

He seems like a really nice cool guy. Basically he doesn't cover enough material in class, that you have to figure out how to do the online assignments on ur own.

Attendance is not mandatory however if you go to class and actually build a relationship with him by participating he will take care of your grade at the end of the year. Be sure to complete the InQuisitive and don't brush off the online quizzes. They count for just as much as test grades do. Review the flash cards he provides. ASAP.

Got kinda annoyed with his lectures because he gets off topic all the time. No need to go to class really - just read and take notes on the assigned pages for every homework. I learned much more from that than from his lectures.

You will not learn anything from him. Do your homework, and take notes. He does provide a test review, study that one as well, and you will pass the class. He is somewhat rude, and gets off topic a lot.

He was very helpful! He sometimes got off topic in his lectures, but if you pay attention and read you'll be fine. Do the homework and quizzes, they will help your grade. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OFFICE HOURS!

Many assignments and quizzes to help balance out your grade. He only gives a few exams and gives a small opportunity for extra credit. Always willing to help and has a large selection of office hours.

He has an awesome beard. He is really a nice guy and he wants you take advantage of the small class size and have you come by his office for help. He will stop at nothing to help his students. Workload is not that heavy, it is very easy to pass just doing all the assignments online.

Very good teacher that goes the extra mile to help a student out. He does lecture ALOT, but you also get alot out of what he says. READ YOUR BOOK for emphasis!

Read the assigned text so you know what he's talking about in class. Lots of stories, yes, but they reinforce his point. ABSOLUTELY do all the practice exams in the labs - a must for making a good grade. He tests what he speaks/writes on board.

Dr. Borg is a great professor. He cares about his students and wants students to care about their education. He's is super helpful if you make the effort to go to office hours. Every professor is only as good as you let them be. If you take the class seriously and seek help when you need it he's a great professor. Super easy to get in touch with.

Avoid this guy at all costs. If you take his class, you will regret it. Guaranteed. You won't learn any econ, but you'll learn a lot about his family. Worthless. Avoid.

I LOVE ECON AFTER HAVING BORG! He is an awesome teacher. I learned a lot and he always made sure we left on time and didn't start early. Tests are not hard if you go to class, take notes and listen. I would recommend him.

Are the stories he tells about his daughters ever embarrassing?? And also, me and my sisters have never worked at Wal-Mart, don't know where that came from. And I see him responding to student e-mails and hear him return their phonecalls all the time. I know he will help out the student who seeks extra help. He really does care about his students.
