Comment:

Tandon has great enthusiasm for the subject and I would recommend him I enjoyed his class a lot. His tests are HARD. Hw is very tough and you have to expect that tests will be similar to the hw but probably completely new scenarios that you must be able to think through on the test. That said, grading seemed fair in the end.

Comment:

Class is very theoretical and Tandon often has problems giving real life examples of concepts. Must attend lectures because textbook doesnt help much. Stingy grader, writes hard exams that often do not draw from the material covered. Overall disappointing indeed. Friendly in class but not after class.

Tandon rules. Best teacher ever. One time he went off on coin collecting, and how much he paid for some crazy coin. Pretty sweet.

book is not helpful, he only teaches by notes. not a very hard course if u pay good attention. his study guide if helpful, some exam questions r from it. every topic is equally emphasized, hard to prepared since thats a lota material.

Comment:

The man explains stuff clearly most of the time. But at the same time he spent very little time on each topic. So if you miss it you miss it forever. He is a stingy grader too. He does not like to give out A easily. So don't expect too much from the cou

Comment:

This man is ridiculously obsessed with the west, and while that is not a bad thing, it almost is at the expense of lesser developed countries. He has a big attitude problem, especially with people of Indian/Arab/Brown origins and its absolutely sick!

great professor! His lectures were very clear; if you are good at looking notes, definitely ace the class without reading the book. Homework sets were easy! Midterm was fair; final was extremely hard! But the grading was fair.Take this course with Tandon

Great lecturer; nice person but not helpful with the homework problems. One midterm, one final. Midterm was easy, but final was impossible. I would recommend this class.

I love him! Very clear lectures most of the time, tries to learn people's names, and is more concerned with people learning than with making the average in the class a C.

Pretty approachable and clear. Take it from someone who went with Econ to the post graduate level, he's a good guy to take Econ 101 with. If you don't like his class, maybe econ's not for you. b/c that's what it is all about.
