Comment:

He is so funny and so smart. He incorporates real life scenarios to make lecture interesting. Also adds in life advice and is very inspirational. Just show up to class and you will do fine. He gives out a practice exam before exams which are extremely similar to the real test, as well as offer tutoring sessions.

Comment:

First time taking economics and it wasn't that bad. If you read the textbook prior or after attending lecture then you should be fine. His lectures are not mandatory, I tend to find myself wondering what he's actually talking about. But his tests are fair, and homework (aplia) counts a lot and helps you understand the material a bit more.

Comment:

Not sure if it's because I took macro before micro but this class wasn't hard. His lectures were easy to understand but I feel like he sometimes goes off topic. Tests were easy for me and homework can be time consuming and harder than what the test is.

Comment:

he is knowledgeable, but it does not help the students, because what you see on exams he does not discuss in class. he gives review sheet but does not explain in class. I wish that review was helpful only 3-4 questions are similar. if you are good at eco you will get good grade other wise you will end up with c or f.

Comment:

Partha is amazing for intro micro. He knows everything off the top of his head and is happy to take questions or discuss economics with students. Tests are very fair and he even gives practice exams which are really helpful. If you don't know whether or not economics is for you or if you've never tried it, I definitely recommend taking his class.

Comment:

Prof. Deb truly cates for his students, he will answer as many questions as asked and will never be rude. Exams reflect topics covered in class. There are 2 midterms both for which he gives practice exams. The practice exams help a whole lot if you do them. However for the final exam, there is no practice. He is a must take!

Professor Partha is a very good at teaching the material in class, however the Aplia homework is extremely difficult and its a lot of it. The exams aren't too hard, multiple choice(worth 60 points) and short answers (worth 40 points).

Comment:

I learned a great deal from this course, but found this professor's grading to be unfair. There is a large end of semester project on which most of our grade is based on. Grading ends up being skewed in favor of students who are best at getting around actually doing their own work. I'm a straight A student, and simply find his grading policy absurd

Amazing Introduction to ECON. He has set the standard for me since I didn't know what I was getting myself into by declaring ECON as a major. He is passionate and well spoke. Most definitely taking him again if the opportunity presents itself

Comment:

I seriously don't understand at all why he got such a great rate! Basically, he doesn't explain , and his exams are very very hard! ! His HW, which is graded, due every week also very hard! We had a lot of issue about HW this semester and he didn't care about the issues! He never replies my emails and doesn't care about our grades.

I took the class for a GRE, but liked Deb so much I declared economics as my major and am trying to get in to the BA/MA economics program he runs. Taking his class might not change your academic career like it did mine, but he's a lot of fun and you'll learn a lot.

Comment:

He's one of the funniest professors at Hunter, and you definitely will not get bored in his class. But the exams are fair (require a lot of studying though), and his homeworks are pretty tough. But if you really put effort, you can pull off a pretty good grade. Professor's always nice and helpful as well, and very precise in his explanations.

This professor is really nice, and funny you will not get bored in class, but i must admit it is a tough class, alot of homework during the weekends and tests aren't easy, don't take it if you're going to slack off like i did. other than the work load and hard exams, he was pretty nice.

What an amazing class. The tests can be a little rough towards the end but other than that, nothing short of amazing. Very reasonable professor and a great orator. One of the best at Hunter.

Comment:

Do not take this guy. Class is not easy. During the whole semester weekly homeworks containing 60 70 problems. A lot of work. You will not have time to prepare for no other class , just because of his homeworks. Not easy exams at all. Think if you want this.

Comment:

The guy used to remind me Bombay traffic when he was lecturing the way he did. It was so messy. I felt like he did it on purpose to not to make people understand him. I do not understand why people rate him high even though they do not get anything from him in the the class. People sound very much biased! Bottom line; You are on your own in this cl
