In all honesty, if Coppin is the only professor available it is totally worth it to just wait and take it in a different semester. Avoid this guy at all cost!!!!

Comment:

Every second of his class was miserable. It was only an hour and fifteen minutes but it felt like three hours. He lies about extra credit and doesn't post grades in moodle. If you're not naturaly geared toward economics, he acts like you're stupid. Avoid this professor!

Although he is a full time professor, there are no office hours and if you ask him to stay after class, he may stay five minutes at the most and then storm out of there saying, Watch my lecture videos. Stay far away!

Comment:

Terrible teacher! His lectures were all over the place and had no structure. He would go on tangents about things very unrelated to the topic. He also gave so much busy work that I didn't learn anything from. Also insults your intelligence on a daily basis saying things like "this problem is for the smart people." Overall, find another professor...

Comment:

Avoid Addington like the plague, his teaching style is abysmal. He babbles about nonsense, stories unrelated to material, homework unspecified. Two exams worth a majority of your grade, do poorly on one and you're done. Pushes students who are struggling to drop the class and won't stay after at all to help. Worth professor I've ever had, ever.

Comment:

Addington is a straight-up wacko. Several times his lecture notes differed from the notes he passed out. He jumps around and starts going off on random tangents while you're trying to understand what he's talking about. There are better professors available for this class. Unless you're naturally a wiz kid, avoid Addington like the plague.

Comment:

Professor Coppin is a really cool guy and very knowledgable of economics; however, for someone who really doesn't understand economics or has never seen it before, he is a little intense. If you like economics, he will be a great fit for you. You don't really feel comfortable to ask questions in class. Go to class, he gives you test questions.

Comment:

CON:He assumes that all students are knowledgeable about the topic so he doesn't fully explain anything. So if you're not "naturally smart" about ecn, you'll have a VERY hard time. He admits to being bias towards certain students. PRO:He gives you the exact exam problems, so pay attention in class. Does give extra credit. He's funny sometimes.

2 exams, moodle assignments online, and a few extra credit opportunities. Lectures can be long and boring but if you pay attention and take notes you should be fine.

Comment:

This guy sucks. Do not take him. He blabs about bs in class that does not even relate to the course. Sometimes you forget that youre in an Economics class because of how off topic he gets. Scatter brained and awful at showing you how to work out problems. Chegg will be your bestfriend.

I took the 2nd exam and forgot how to do half of one problem, and he told me to drop the class because he would fail me. I wasn't even doing bad in his class. Didn't drop. His lectures are hard to follow, he jumps between topics very often. Unless you want to teach yourself to decipher chicken scratch notes from him do not take.

I was doing poor in his class until I noticed he will tell u in lecture EXACTLY what will be on the exams so PAY ATTENTION! attendance isnt mandatory but important. He is a difficult grader but if you show up to class random days he will pass around a sign in sheet & you will get extra cred for going to class! Difficult class but SO worth it.

Comment:

Posts so many things on Moodle. Almost every day before class there's a forum you must post to - but he never sends an alert or email. Says examples are "low hanging fruit," and other phrases so that you always feel stupid. A strange guy for sure, gets off topic every class session so often that you never know what class was even about.

Comment:

He jumps all over the place in lectures, and makes almost no sense. His notes don't make sense either. If you are going to learn anything you'll have to teach yourself using the book and internet. He seems to insult people's intelligence every class too, and he even told one lady "If you need a tutor then you should just drop the class."

I think there are pluses and minuses to Prof. Coppin. His lectures were very thorough, and he is very passionate about economics. The homework was fairly easy on MyEconLab. He is a very understanding professor. He met with me during office hours and helped find where I struggled on his tests. I do recommend because he is a good professor.

First off, I dont even know how this teacher is still at Oakland University. Prof. Addington makes you work for your grade and if you have a question, he makes you feel stupid in front of the entire class. Do not skip class, you will not pass. He tells you what is going to be on exam, and then its completely different. I still passed but avoid him!

Comment:

He is a super difficult professor. If he thinks you're smart then you're on his good side, but if he doesn't he will basically give you hell until you drop his course. If you are good at calc and do well on exams then you will be good. His tests are hard but he tells you the type of questions to study, you just have to attend every class.

Comment:

Super hard to follow in class because he jumps all around. Homework is given every class but if you do it you get credit. Tests are pretty easy, all you have to do is watch video lectures on moodle. He tells you whats on the test and grades fairly. Overall pretty easy class. Idk why everyone on here is complaining. I'm an average student.
