Comment:

I took ARE201 online with Dr. Sampson in the Spring of 2014. He truly cares about his students and goes above and beyond to help them understand the material. His notes are written as if he's talking to you and uses real world examples. Absolutely 1 of my faves! Sorry future students wont get the chance because he is now retired (7/2014)

I really liked him as a professor. He's also very humorous. I took this class online, and the lectures weren't videos but notes, but I liked it because he made it feel like he was actually talking to you in person. Not so much at the end because he kind of changed the teaching style. Fairly easy.

Dr. Sampson is a nice guy. I never really got to know him as I took his online class. It was quite a bit of work, but he lets you have a cheat sheet on the test which is very helpful!

Comment:

He's a very nice teacher. Wish I would have had him during a regular semester instead of a summer class- too much important info and little time to absorb it all. It was a little overwhelming at first because the class was ALL reading, n I hate reading! He gives you a big boost cause he gives ec and practice tests which are similar to regular tests

If you aren't good at math, and you need to see it taught and how to do each step. His online class is not recommended. There was just so much information that I wasn't sure what I needed to know and what I didn't.

Comment:

Mr. Sampson was a joy to have as a professor. If you fail his class its b/c you didn't look at any of the info. He basically hands you an A by giving you copies of past exams and answering most of the hmwk questions for you. He doesn't use the book very much. I took this class online but taking it in class is probably better b/c of all the info.

Comment:

I took the online class and I DO NOT recommend it. He is nice and helpful, but he is not very organized with his work or thoughts. He throws tons of information at you and expects you to grasp it all. There is a 10-20 page Word Document homework assigned every week and his tests are ridiculously long (2 hours to complete). Not Recommended.

Comment:

I took his online class. He is a wonderful teacher. He cares about his students and makes it a point to get back to everyone very quickly. It seems overwhelming with all the readings he assigns. But take my advice and just focus on his lectures and labs. You can skim the textbook but it is really not needed. He is very thorough in his lectures.

Took his online course and learned more than I would have in class. Don't bother with the textbook, his lectures and notes are very detailed. He is more than willing to help his students.. in life and in class. He is a one of a kind prof, so mellow and open. I would recommend him.

Comment:

Possibly the best teacher I have ever had. It's obvious he's very passionate at what he does. I think I learned more about life in this class then any other class i've taken. Gives so much help on the HW's and tests that it's ridiculous. Here's a tip: skip the text book. His lecture series are so well written and easy to read you wont need the text

I have the distance Ed Version of this class and it is great. There is a lab due once a week which Mr. Sampson will take any amount of time helping you with. He gives out practice tests before the tests which are very similar. He also gives extra credit and is very nice and easy to talk to. I Highly Recommend him.

He is an outstanding professor. He was the most helpful, understanding, and down to earth teacher I have ever had. I recommend this over any other economics class.

Comment:

I took it as a summer class. It is very overwhelming at first b/c he sends you so much to read and the work has to be done quickly. But, it is easy and he makes every thing clear and he has a ton of resources to use and he gives extra credit w/ tests.
