Comment:

Pushes his students to be the best they can be, while still being one of the funniest people I've ever met. I could literally go on and on, but let's put it this way-- If I practiced a religion, Drennen would be God.

Comment:

Prof Drennen is one of the most well regarded professors at HWS. His classes are extremely interesting. TIp: don't go in to his class just focused on the grade, just focus on working hard and really understanding the material and you will be fine.

Comment:

Clearly favored the men in the class. Didn't even know most of the girls names by the end of the semester. Showed little interest in the class, and spent most of the time on his blackberry. Very unclear on what he expected from students

He is the best professor I've had here. He has a very straightforward teaching style and is very clear about his expectations. I've had him from Env Econ and Econometrics. I've worked hard but learned a LOT from him.
