Comment:

Show up and do whatever you want. Easy class he doesn't read the hw summaries and you can get 100s by taking the practice tests. They have all the same questions as the real test. Drops your lowest test grade and curves your average. Easy A

Comment:

Took him for Microecon. This class is VERY easy. He gives the tests online on Blackboard, and allows multiple attempts. At the end of the semester he had 5/6 tests still open for people to take. Grade is based on the tests plus a project. Class is pulling teeth, he reads straight from the powerpoint, wastes time on updating blackboard.

Comment:

He is a horrible professor. He will bore you to death 100%! i could not stand the class. I had to self teach myself everything and the practice tests saved my butt! If you decide to take this class, you will be bored, but you will do well if you study practice tests and do the project! He drops one exam so at least you have opportunities...

Comment:

One of the worst professors Nassau has to offer. Took 20 points off my final project because my article columns were slanted. I hated this class with a passion. If you don't along with this guy, most likely you're going to fail.

Comment:

Want an easy A ? Just do the practice tests 2-3 times before doing a test.Other than that he's boring,I think I've slept in nearly all of his classes.He doesn't even try,just reads stuff of the projector and doesn't even try to participate with the class.

Comment:

Strain is the man possibly one of the most burnt out teachers on this planet. With that said easiest A I ever got showed up 40 minutes late signed in and dipped at the break. People give him a hard time but I think he's actually a nice guy DEF take this class if you need to take or retake Micro....

Comment:

If you do not get an A in this class you are a complete waste of life and do not deserve to pass second grade. Read each practice exam 3 or 4 times and take the test which is identical to the practice test. Each test is the same 4 questions reworded...Like I said, if you get less than an A, you are a waste of life

Comment:

The absolute worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. He reads power point presentations incorrectly for and hour and fifteen minutes. He is rude and abnoxious when students ask questions. He interjects his own political and social views into the class which is not appropriate. The class is an easy A based on the practice exams he gives

He is a nice guy just don't be disruptive in class and he will like you. Take the practice tests and you will do good on the tests. He encourages you to join the Wall Street Club. Join it is fun.

Comment:

Pretty much the easiest class ever. Practice tests are identical to real test,drops lowest grade. And newspaper report, just autosumarize on Word and hand it in, each write up doesn't need to be any more than a page. Hes very boring and does not teach. He just clicks the powerpoint slides. Strict with attendance even though it so unecessary to pass
