Comment:

I have never seen a teacher so unorganised and making life so difficult. Hes a messy teacher with no clear explanation of the topics. I was literally forced to memorise the quizzes and midterms in order to get through my exams and quizzes. I felt like I studied the subject myself. I would never take him again or even recommend him to anyone.

Amazing prof. Although he doesn't check for attendance but I strongly recommend you to attend at least 85-90% of his class, most of test materials come straight from there. Really enjoyable lectures, he goes over some parts of the material really fast though so look out for that. If you pay attention in class and do your work, you'll be fine!

his quizzes were easy but his midterm and final exam were way to hard. you need to really understand the lecture he explaines in the class.

Great prof. Does every thing he can to help students. Although sometimes he could be rambling and skims over really important sections or materials that you'll have to ask him again either during his office hour or do some reading. He explains things really clear about 85% of the time though. Great guy overall.

Paul is ok. He kinda makes things confusing but it's easy to do well in his class as long as you understand what you are doing. Give him what he wants and you'll be fine. His marking rubrics are pretty generous too.

This professor is really keen. He is easy to get mark if u study his past paper and pay attention during the class. His way of teaching is cool though, sometimes triggers boredom

I was REALLY satisfied with taking his course even with his so fast speaking. He definitely understood the concept of macro and hardworking for understaning of students as well. Also he really look after care of students. My friend got two more chances even he missed 2 quizes. TAKE HIS COURSE IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS ECONMICS.

He's very smart and helpful whenever u ask him for help. As long as u attend his class n listen, u'll get good grades. He doesn't ask u to do a lot of things in or out of class n doesn't care if u get to class or not. He has sample test Q in the library so it's easy. Just study~

Got the highest score in the class. Past test copies were provided and he explains this subject perfectly. His econ101 is a super easy course, and no one should get less than A. (unless you never study)

Comment:

He is a hard core new classicalist, and that is represented by his attitude conducting the class. He never cares about attendance, or participation or lateness, (quite the opposite to Anthony, although both of them are hell very smart). I really like him. He is helpful and really likes the subject he is teaching.
