Comment:

no homework and no study guides. Lectures tangent largely and utterly useless; he thinks too fast for people who don't naturally take to econ. He almost always ends class early. tests are almost impossible, even if you read. So much info is covered between each test that its hard to whittle down on your own and the professor doesn't help.

Comment:

I really struggled in this class. He knows the subject really well, but he has a hard time dumbing it down for the average business student. He is brilliant and engaging but he doesn't assign any homework and if you can't figure out his tests, you're screwed. There are much easier Econ professors you can choose. He'll definitely make you work.

very difficult to follow his train of thought, goes off on tangents, intimidating, does not help prepare students for exam. Very smart man but not a good instructor for a lower level, principal macro class.

Comment:

I could never follow his train of thought. He's very rambley, and just kinda talks about what he feels like. He spent a whole day talking about how the 'American way of life' (how the guy who dies with the most toys wins) is stupid. Completely unrelated to the course material. Tests are difficult, they require a lot of studying. Positive overall.

Comment:

The most difficult prof. Ive had at TU by far. Tries to help but expects you to read and comprehend everything before class. Sometimes confusing, has poor handwriting (hard to read the board!) Very difficult grading! We only had 3 grades all semester! Stressful class. Tests VERY hard, covering 90+ pages. Regardless, BRILLIANT man. Genius, really.

Buckle up and hold on; your going on a wild ride!! Don't get behind and read ahead. If you are a quiet person don't expect more than a "B". The best class to prepare you for grad school.

The guy is brilliant and hillarious. His class had no other grades than tests and little or no curve. To do well in his class read every chapter or risk bombing. He is an excellent teacher and the motto for his class should be read or die.

Comment:

Dr. Steib is a brilliant man but his intelligence prevents him from teaching on a level that students without previous economics backgrounds can understand. Tests are very difficult and there is little curve. However, you will learn a lot from his class because you're forced to learn the material.

Very intelligent man, seldom brings lecture notes but still organizes well. Really not that hard if you pay attention in class and understand. Also very casual, he enjoys what he does and doesnt have to wear a tweed jacket to show it ;)

The man KNOWS HIS STUFF. One of the best professors I've ever had. He knows a lot more than just the dismal science. He's truly a remarkable individual.

Okay, if you want an easy A, I suggest you drop this and go to Dugger or Horn, but this guy is incredibly intelligent and he knows his stuff to the littlest detail. But guess what? He's gonna want you to know it just as well.

This. man. He's a handful. He really wants students to learn and to be passionate about their studies, though, and that's good. A++, Steib!

Funny guy, but sometimes I wonder if he knows soap and water mix.
