The course was really interesting, the exams are challenging though and grades are curved such that the median is a B+. The prof was quite engaging, sections are optional

Awesome professor, again, probably the best I have had in all my econ classes. His lectures are exceptionally clear, which is great, but also kinda makes other professors' lectures seem really not-on-par. The materials are definitely not easy, and going to lectures actually help you learn better.

Comment:

Probably the best Econ prof. at Cornell. The class is def. not easy, but if you pay attention in class, work hard on the PSets, and go to office hours, you should be fine. Sections were pointless though, and there is no textbook, but his crystal clear lectures are enough to do well. Would def. recommend this for econ majors

Comment:

Love this class! Lots of interesting subjects covered, and he certainly knows his material. Even though he posts the slides online, it's recommended to go to class because he shows you how to set up problems (which does not end up the powerpoint). He's also a fairly engaging lecturer. Try your best to do the problem sets without help.

Comment:

Lecture stuff is online, though lecture will help you understand the slides better than just reading them online. He tests hard, but it's possible to do well if you assimilate to his testing style. PSets i dunno, didn't go to section

Comment:

I thought the class was a bit boring, but others think it's really interesting. The professor is very clear. No textbook, his notes are online, and he gives you a number of problem sets that help you learn the material. Tests are a bit difficult, but he'll scale grades upwards, so no worries there.

Comment:

Solid professor and a really nice guy but a few points of caution about the course: the class is curved to a fairly low grade making it difficult to exceed an A- for anything but exceptional performance and possible to achieve a B or lower for decent work; the subject matter is inherently interesting but better dealt with in the realm of psychology

Comment:

Great lecturer. Very clear and willing to help, the subject material is incredibly interesting. There's no textbook for the class, however, and section was optional and not very helpful. Hence, going to every lecture was inherently mandatory and extremely vital to doing well. Just go to the twice-a-week lecture and you'll be fine.

Comment:

No, seriously, he is the best teacher in the econ department. VERY clear lectures. Light reading, hard problem sets that were graded harshly. Tests seemed fair. Overall grading policy is more than fair. EXTREMELY helpful in office hours - use them. Learned a lot. Must take!!
