Comment:

Very knowledgable professor, he sometimes goes too fast and his sloppy handwriting doesn't help but if something is unclear he is always willing to go back and rework it for you. He provides all the class resources online which is very helpful and he is also an efficient grader.

Comment:

He is such a great professor! So passionate about his subjects, very inspiring to his students (including me)! Completely fair in in terms of grading. Homeworks take up large portion of the class,and even worth more than exams totally, so do it regularly, and remember to submit it! He accepts late homework with credits off, so don't ever miss one!

the worst at explaing things and relating with students, he may be on speed and runs like a dinosaur. I didnt learn a thing. Brings a lot of energy which doesnt pay off at all.

The most entertaining professor I've ever had at Dickinson, but also the worst. There were major lacks of clarity and structure throughout the entire course (intermediate microeconomics).. avoid if you can.

Absolutely love Professor Bellinger. Took him for both Intro to Micro and senior seminar. Some think he's a little off, but which econ prof isnt? Easy to understand and he puts a lot of effort into class and his students. Go see him during office hours! Wish I could take all my econ classes with him!

Comment:

a bit flighty during the lectures but it helps prevent sleeping. easier to understand if you do the reading but not horrible. need some basic math skills. gives lots of xtra credit and does better in office hours or review sessions realizes that we take his class to fulfill prerecs knows his stuff and makes theory applicable to something real

Comment:

Professor Bellinger is the kind of professor who, if you are willing to put in some effort, is perfectly willing to meet you halfway. However, this is not a class in which you can just skate by. It takes some work to excel. You should definitely take advantage of his office hours before tests to get answers to the essay questions.

Comment:

if you are good at pretty basic math concepts and calculations, you will do well. If you pay close attention during class, you probably learn a lot of interesting econ info., but i didn't pay much attention. Prof. Bellinger is nice, and he makes it very possible for you to do well.

Comment:

Great prof, Rick Morranis (the dad from Honey I Shrunk the Kids) look alike. It's hard not to get an A if you do every homework assignment. Uses "blackboard" religiously; most readings are there instead of from the book. Don't sleep in class, he goes through lectures twice as fast as other profs.

Great guy who really knows his stuff. He's willing to take his time to make sure that everyone truly learns. Big on homework, but that works out in most people's favor. Was understanding when I had a family tragedy, I appreciated that.
