Comment:
Absolutely the worst teacher I have ever taken in my entire life. He assigns chapters to read and come back to class with questions. Rather than teaching the material he goes on about his view of the economic system in the United states. Everything I learned in this course was self taught. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Comment:
I had him for both ECON 371 and ECON 372. Both classes are polar opposites except for the fact that the lectures will go by slowly and he will almost ALWAYS go over 5 minutes so don't plan a class right after his on West Campus because you will be late especially if you walk. ECON 371 is more laid back with just papers and ECON 372 is test heavy.

Comment:
This professor has the worst attitude of any professor I have ever had. He gives smug remarks to everything he says and half the time he even answers questions with his eyes closed. I was really excited to take his class but halfway through the semester I dreaded going to his class because of him. DO NOT ask questions, he tries to embarrass kids

Comment:
Dr. Conover is incredibly intelligent but sometimes I couldn't follow along. There were three papers and one group presentation that includes a long paper. They are all doable but don't expect to get your papers back until two months later. Also, don't schedule a class on West right after this class because he tends to let class out 10 minutes late

Comment:
Professor Conover is a great professor. He is very knowledgeable. I wouldn't say he is the most interesting professor, but he is teaching economics, how interesting can it be? His tests are hard, you really need to study for those. Also, the HW is free points. You have to do it. Don't do it the night before. Just get it done, and get free points.

Professor Conover is by far the worst professor I have had at APU. I basically taught the material myself from reading the book. I recommend taking a different professor for this course.

Comment:
Nothing you learn in class is on the exam, which is ridiculously hard anyways. I'm not completely convinced it was actually water in that cup he would bring to class everyday. I can't judge him as a person, but if you are serious about business and learning things that will be applicable in your career, take another professor.

Comment:
He is extremely boring and goes off topic ALL THE TIME. You will never be able to follow what he is saying because he rambles on and on about things that are irrelevant to what you should actually know for the midterm and final. He never responds to emails and is unreliable for help. Only take him if you want to work your butt off to get an A.

He gave me a passing grade even though I thought that I'm going to fail this class for sure. He had too much grace and mercy on us... Be sure to read the text before you go to class, or else you will be clueless, lost, and sad. Good luck :D

He is the worst teacher i have taken. Read the book and teach yourself. Lot of works need to do each week and tests were hard. I would never take his class again.

The class is not that bad, just put some effort it and you'll do fine. Do the online work (he calls them quizes) tons of free points there. Dry to no humor, but he is really good at what he does.

Brillant prof that knows his stuff. He makes you think and then pushes you to explain why you think that way. I came away with a greater understanding of how and why a whole economic system works towards a result. Look fwd to taking another class w/him. HIGHLY REOMMEND.

Quant is a hard class. No matter what professor you take make sure you read the book and do the homework. With that said, Conover is a very fair professor. His exams are very hard, but he grades fair. He curves all of his exams, but he doesn't call it a curve (even though it is lol). I would definately recommend taking his class for quant!

Conover is one of the best minds at APU. His classes are tough, but delivers the material in an understandable fashion. I never wanted to take his class, but learned a lot from it.

International Trade and Finance- Class is sooo lame! He can't teach it well, takes forever to answer a question that literally can be answered in 1 minute. Makes things more complex. Really gets you on homework- takes off stupid points. If you can, take with another prof in the summer or something. Literally hated the class!!

Professor Conover is incredibly intelligent - but struggles to get ideas across at times. He does take forever to answer a 30 second question. Go to class, take coffee and be prepared to push yourself... the class is rewarding but is by no means easy with Conover.

Dr. Conover does a great job teaching this class. Attendance is not required but if you show up, you will get a better grade because you learn something new every time. He knows what he's talking about and is willing to help you if you need it. Highly recommended.

he is a good prof, just harder than most. He takes 5 minutes to answer a 30 second question. If you want to learn about economics, take conover. if you want an easy "a" take vasquez.
