Ring, Ring! It's Agapitos Papigapitos ready to rock your world with some Macroeconomics, baby. Agapitos Papigapitos was a truly dope professional that challenged me to do my best in a field I truly didn't feel confident in at the start of class. "Papa", as I call him (never to his face), is a Greek God who made Macroeconomics slightly enjoyable.

AP was one of my favorite teachers. He keeps the class engaged in lectures and makes everything SO much easier to understand. The class still requires a lot of studying for the tests but the tests are all writing so its easy to explain yourself. Would highly recommend taking econ with AP!

Papagapitos is great. The class is pretty easy as far as the workload; 5 one page papers, 5 homework assignments, and 3 exams, including the final. Attendance is not mandatory, but that being said, if you miss a day it is REALLY hard to catch up. Overall, great prof to take for a required class

5 (one page) papers, 5 homework assignments, 2 exams and a final. Lectures are fascinating and always related back to real life examples. Moves quick although attendance is not mandatory you will miss out big if you miss class. Be ready to take good notes and study alot for exams but learned alot but one of the most valuable courses Ive taken.

One of the best professors I have had at UST. Incredible lecturer, he made each class into a different story that was able to keep me entertained and interested at 8am. Attendance isn't mandatory, but tests are difficult. Overall this course taught me so much about not only economics but the world. Highly recommend!

Overall, this a fine class. Dr. P is a nice guy but grades really hard on tests. If he didn't make his tests worth so many points and graded them less harshly I think I would've liked the class a lot more. He is a good professor and knows what he is talking about! Would recommend if you're a business or econ major.

He is extremely knowledgeable, and is willing to help you if you ask! Also, he is very sweet and nice. However, his tests are extremely hard. You better be an Econ or Business major to take this class. I was not, and I struggled.

Comment:

He is such an amazing lecturer; not many professors can keep a macro class engaged at 8 am on a Tuesday. However, he grades really easily on homework and papers, but on tests? Literally some of the most difficult grading I have ever experienced. I got 100% on papers and homework but only Cs and Bs on tests.

Comment:

He's great! Very specific in what he wants, but gives thorough lectures. If you pay attention & take notes then you'll be golden, but it's not really worth skipping class. Econ isn't my major, nor is it something I was very interested in, but he made it interesting & easy(ish) to understand.

I loved this class. I'm not an economics major but he made me consider at least adding a minor. He has high expectations but is super willing to help if you ask for it. He doesn't have powerpoints so I know some people mentioned it was hard to follow along but I really enjoyed his teaching style. He's super knowledgable too!

Good professor if you are planning on being a business/econ major. He knows what he's talking about but assumes that you have prior knowledge of high school or earlier econ classes. Tests are hard and there are barely any notes. For notes he writes very little on the board and you basically have to follow what he says. Not very much homework.

Great Professor! One of the best professors at UST. Really knows what he is talking about and gets you to think deeper about the material. Relates everything to real life. Fun guy and really shows that he wants you to succeed. Definitely would recommend for any ECON class!

Comment:

He was a very knowledgable man. The lectures were kind of dry but that is because no one really participated. 6 papers and 6 homework sets along with two tests and a final. The paper are one page single space but easier than you think and for the homework he encourages groups so it takes away from the workload. Good guy and good class

Awesome guy, very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. A lot of people say you don't need to read, but I found that reading made the tests MUCH easier. He writes barely anything on the board and I had a hard time understanding my notes later, but read the assigned chapters along with his lectures and the tests are easy.

Comment:

Incredibly knowledgable professor, he knows everything about economics. He lectures every class, and does not write much on the board, so you have to listen carefully. He gives you points pretty easily on homework, but tests are very hard. He expects you to know everything very in detail, and takes points off easily. Take if you're econ major.

AP is easily one of the best professors I've ever had. I took him for Macro and really got into the subject because of him. Be warned that he gives pretty difficult tests. He is a tough grader looking for specific info showing you listened in class. Being there in class is super important even though he doesn't really take attendance.

A.P. is the best professor I've taken here at UST. If you can get into his class, take it! You won't be disappointed. He makes you work for your grade. His tests are hard but fair. Go to every class, take good notes and ask questions when you need to. He doesn't mind repeating things if you ask. I've never learned so much in a class before.

Comment:

AP is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Economics. His lectures dragged on a little bit, but mostly because he had so much information to relay in not a lot of time. Total of 5 papers and 5 homework assignments, worth a total of 50 points all together. 3 (HARD) tests that were 50 points each, meaning tests are 75% of your grade.
