Comment:
Most applicable (and not boring) class in the Economics department. It builds your understanding of markets, applications of econ theory, and logical business topics. Professor Likens tells a lot of stories from his industry experience and is probably the nicest man in Claremont.

Comment:
Professor Likens likes to tell stories as often as he likes to teach. The homework and tests are based on the textbook and aplia and he does a bad job of covering the information in class. Pretty easy grader. The debates at the end of the semester are interesting, but atypical of econ classes.

Comment:
Very bored and boring. Doesn't even teach, he makes you teach yourself from the textbook and then tests you on it. Still is very predictable though so the first test you usually bomb but then its very easy to get straight A's once you figure him out. The material is interesting but he is simply awful. Avoid him if you like to learn

Comment:
Not very useful. Most of his classes are spent with him telling the same story over and over of some mediocre achievement. He doesn't want to be there and makes the dept look bad. is only interested in inflating his own ego.

Lazy. Gives very little feedback on work. Not always fair. Grades are based on his impression of you. Doesn't challenge nor inspire.

Less than Pomona deserves. Clueless about real world applications. Bored and boring...avoid this sad excuse for a professor. Should be teaching at a community college.

I didn't like him at all. I found him to be uninspiring, largely unhelpful and in some cases, downright offensive.

There are better, but there are much worse. Can be counted on for quality one-liners.
