Comment:
Great teacher. I had learned a lot in his class and I enjoyed going to class. You need to keep up with the reading material but this teacher has a lot to offer to those students who really want to learn. He is a walking book of knowledge and a very fair professor. I really enjoyed his class.

Best Prof at Muhlenberg. Talk to him outside of class and see how much stuff you can learn from him, if it wasn't enough for you IN class. We learn about ancient greek philosophers and he makes them relavent to us 2000 years later. No one is as as good as him. Your grade won't be better with any other prof either. Take his class

Don't let the accent fool you, he's actually Irish. And if you think you've got a handle on how much he knows about Economics, trust me it's only a drop in the bucket. Try talking to him outside of class and see how much you more you learn. Dr. Walsh is a treasure of the ECON Dept.

Very smart man, very easy class. You may not learn much, but what you do learn will be what other economics professors probably won't teach you.

VERY VERY VERY difficult to understand. Really. The tests aren't TOO bad and there is never any real work besides 3 tests but still. The class is ridiculous

Excellent professor. Really makes you think and analyze the material. He is passionate about the material and brings life to it. If you listen to his lectures and ask questions you will get an A.

This guy knows his stuff, and most of the people that trash him do not understand the material. He tells you what you need to know, and if you can follow that much, you are golden in his class. I did NO work for this class and rocked an A.

I agree with what the others have said. He is incredibly unstructured and discusses his buddies instead of the material. You'll be fine on his exams if you write small, but you won't learn anything from his class.

Listen, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The man may be a genius, but I promise that he will be the worst teacher you have ever had. You can't understand him, he is ugly, and all he does is trash the textbook. There is no worse teacher this side of hell.

Comment:
Any class with Vivian is bizarre. He likes to reminesce about the good old days in the UK with friends, Arrow and Debreu. You walk out of class dazed and confused, wondering what you got out of it. He is also a dirty old man.

Comment:
Dr. Walsh lectures in an extremely unstructured manner. He means well by giving essay tests, but 2 essays simply can't cover enough material!
