Comment:

He doesn't look a single student in the eye. He always looks to the back of the room. His class is alright. The material gets tougher as the class goes on because there is a lot of material. But, if you do all of the homeworks and use the practice homeworks to study for the test, you should do fine.

Comment:

Took him online for Microeconomics, passed with an A-. Video lectures are VERY helpful to understand concepts. Barely read the book but he does use some examples from the book so you have to buy it. A quiz for each section with bonus questions and no time limit, 5 exams that are timed. Definitely recommend, put in the time and you will pass.

Comment:

He knows what he's talking about. Listen in on the lectures, do the homeworks, follow his review, and do the homeworks again before tests and you will pass. He's more than fair with regards to grading. Just get your things in on time because he doesn't offer any second chances.

This is the second class I have with Esposto and I am so happy! He grades you on homework D2L quizzes and 3 tests. Attendance is not mandatory but after 11 absences it will affect your grade. Homework quizes are super easy if you take notes and use the textbook. Tests are basically the homework. Essay questions are really not bad and he grades fair

PROF Esposto is often confusing and boring for 9 am. He rambles and there is often so much on his tests its very difficult to remember. Try someone else.

Comment:

I understood Micro much better than Macro because of Dr. E. He his great at explaining things and repeats things a lot, in fact the class can be a bit boring because he repeats things so much. Homeworks are a bit challenging but easy A if you come to class and pay attention. I definitely learned a lot!

Lectures consist of him talking for the entirety of the class. Esposto has office hours but their limited. Online HW's and 3 tests and a final are the whole grade.

Comment:

This is the best professor I've had at Kutztown by far. He doesn't just read off Powerpoints like the business professors. Instead he explains complex economic principles in easy to understand ways, using a lot of graphs to illustrate the material. This class gave me a whole new economic perspective that can be applied on many things in life.

Comment:

He gave my life purpose and changed it irreparably, he is the best in the KU business faculty. I only wish he taught more classes. He makes Economics understandable and fun! I love economics and have been inspired to declare it as my minor. My understanding of Economics has changed my life infinitely for the better-incentives matter, a must take!

Comment:

I only thought the third exam was hard. All the other ones were pretty easy including his final. That doesn't mean don't study. His homework quizzes are annoying, but help your grade if you do well on them. Also, you can use them to study. Reading the book helps and that's what I used for the final.

If you need Microeconomics to graduate KU take Prof E as your professor. He is by far the most down to earth professor I have had. Tests are not terribly difficult and the majority of the questions are from the in class notes

Comment:

At first, I did not know much about Economics. He is very informative and sometimes difficult to comprehend with the materials covered in class. I did not purchase the textbook since I knew someone who had taken this course previously. The text was very similar to what was discussed in class. The quizzes can be difficult. Attendance is a must.

Comment:

I didn't find him to be clear. The class was boring and I didn't find his quizzes easy at all. All the quizzes are on d2l and it is helpful to have the book. Tests arent bad if you read notes, the book and review the quizzes. I wouldnt call it a hard class. He lets you miss 10 classes before he takes 1 percentage off your grade.

Comment:

Prof. Esposto is your best bet for Micro. He explains the material multiple times so that it sticks. His tests can be difficult though. As long as you do good on the online Aplia homework he gives, you should do well on the exams. He pulls some questions from Aplia for the tests. Grades on a curve which helps. Book and attendance not required.
