Awesome prof! Taught the material incredibly well and I learned a lot from him. Midterm, final and assignments were not difficult as long as you went to class. You do not need to buy the textbook.

Comment:

The course seemed really simple and straightforward, especially because he was very good at explaining and hammering home the important concepts. But since it was so simple I found he would try and throw a curve ball on the midterms and finals. They were still fair but I found a lot of people in my class would do poorly.

Kneebone is awesome. He knows his stuff and explains it very well. Don't bother buying the textbook, just read the posted notes. The course was easy.

Extremely good teacher, very clear and makes the subject he's teaching very interesting. He was helpful after hours as well although he was rarely available and changed his times frequently. I would definitely recommend if Econ is your major and your interested in the topic.

There's no doubt that he is a great teacher. BUT HIS EXAMS ARE NOT FAIR!!! Their level of difficulty is much higher than what you get to learn and practice during the term.

Very knowledgeable. Explained all the concepts well. His exams are rather difficult. So you do need to study hard for it. I look forward for to take 359 with him.

Great prof. Goes over the material at a slow enough pace so that you can follow and ask questions if necessary. Posted great notes on Blackboard. Exam are rather difficult, so do put enough effort into studying.

Kneebone is a very smart guy. I loved attending his lectures. He explained the course materials really well and he totally expanded my economics horizon. Take a class with him and you will not regret.

Comment:

Ron is a very clear, very concise and at times hilarious. This was one of the few classes where i attended all of the lectures and i didn't seem to glance at the clock like i do in other lectures. His testing is difficult, but it certainly makes you learn a lot.

I enjoyed discussing Econ with him; he's very laidback & cool. Reasonable, logical, and hot in a mellow way. A jewel among the muck that is UofC.

Plays favourites. Rivals the department head in terms of sex appeal. Total nutcase...even had a squirrel run up to him during our 359 final exam.

Comment:

Not very interested in helping students if they are not on his list of favorites. Very dry proffessor. Has someone up his sleave on the commitee that hands out teaching awards. Unlike atkins, kneebone is simply interested in covering the material quickly without concern for the students understandin

Kneebone's the man! Assignments were the perfect difficulty level, and the midterms/final were good too. I look forward to taking 559 with him.
