Comment:

Russel is a fantastic professor. He definitely turns a dry subject into something interesting. His lectures are very engaging and full of examples to help you understand. Be warned that his slides don't make very much sense from home, so showing up to class is a must. I will absolutely take one of Russel's classes again if I have the chance to.

For ECON 1020 H does he give a practice guide sheet for the midterms and finals. If he does, does the exam come like it or completely different?

Good prof. He's a very funny guy and makes the courses he teaches slightly less boring. Overall, it's still an average class with average difficulty.

Comment:

Amazing A+ Prof! He is super knowledgeable in Economics and very approachable. If you have him for Intro to Micro/Macro, you will understand it 100% because he tries to make things simple and easy to remember by giving lots of examples. Just a heads up, if you have him for math, make sure you show steps clearly though or he will deduct marks.

Excellent professor. He is quite funny and tries to make a very boring subject interesting. He seems like a really down to earth guy and a refreshing change from the more pompous profs out there. I'd recommend taking his class. He is also quite knowledgable.

He's a good prof n a funny guy, but isn't very clear with his notes (which makes it difficult while studying for exams). His assignments are hard, but his tests are harder. But despite all that, he's a great guy - very approachable. He usually knows what he's talking about.NEVER want to miss his classes as they NEVER get boring.

His quizzes are quite hard. Tests and assignments are fair. However he could be a little clearer as to what he is looking for in assignment questions. Overall a REALLY cool guy! I would take another class with him.

Comment:

If it were a course on substance abuse you would be a great prof... he talks more about the glory days than economics. Funny guy, horrible prof. But eh all Econ profs are so you might as well go for one with humour.
