Does not take into consideration students circumstances or willing to accommodate. Emotional intelligence does not compute for Ron.

Comment:

Microeconomics isn't the easiest course for most people - having said that Ron was able to teach the material in a way that made sense to me and most of my peers. No tricks with him, as he stresses certain topics for a reason, and practice exams are similar to real exams. Overall, I wish he taught Macroeconomics, so I could take it with him.

Great teacher! One of my favorite. Not an easy marker though. Interesting lectures with lots of real life cases. Shows how theory applies into real world. Deep understanding of the subject.

Comment:

Had him for lab, there would be a quiz every class on the last chapter then teach the next chapter. He would go over questions and such. He is overall a nice guy. Side note: With the hat he wears, he really fits into the sterotypical economist. :P

Ron is the ****in****. he was very helpful in class and taught relavent material. if it wasn't for Ron i wouldn't have passed. He was also the star of our softball team, he's quite limber on the field for an econ professor. i once saw him bench over 1200 pounds!

Comment:

Ron is helpful towards the girls in the class, but not the guys. I had an essay question which I answered almost identical to another girl in my class, and I received half the marks. When I asked him why - he said because I feel you deserve that mark.

Comment:

The worst instructor I've ever had. Ever. Pushed through subjects quickly. Made no effort to explain concepts in a practical way. Basically just expected us to read the textbook, memorize the content, and understand the context. Made a dull, but useful, subject unbearable.
