Comment:
Professor Casey is the man. Great class for an intro econ course. Almost no homework. Relates everything to current/real world events. NO TESTS. Few quizzes which were super easy. Makes lectures super interesting. Drawback is that final exam is majority of final grade. Highly recommended professor, would take again.

Great lectures and really gets students interested in the topics. The grading system is a bit unclear, but you will generally end up with a higher grade than you thought. Super helpful if you have any out of class questions and overall just a really chill guy.

Professor Casey is one of my favorite professors. He is very straight-forward and knowledgeable. He graduated from W&L, so relates well to students. He does not care much about grades so as long as you give good effort you will get a decent grade in the class. Highly recommend taking a class with Casey.

Casey is an amazing professor. He's so passionate about development economics, and definitely shares his compassion with the class. He's always willing to help if you need it. And he's one of those professors that really doesn't care so much about grades as long as you make an effort in the class.

Comment:
He taught my Environmental Studies 110 class. It was his only non econ class and he was great. He is very straight-forward and easy to understand. He's very young and was a graduate of W&L so he knows how we actually are.

Comment:
Extremely interesting professor. Very interested in the environment and human capital in third world countries and demands participation in class on these topics. There is a lot of required reading for the classes, however, but most of it is intriguing.

Comment:
Casey and Goldsmith are the only two econ. professors worth taking. He's a really good professor, makes it easy to understand some hard concepts and helps you get the most out of a research paper which if you haven't done a lot of stats seems kinda scary. Overall excellent Prof.

Might be the best professor in the Econ dept. (w/ Goldsmith as the other really good one). Makes a dry subject really interesting and relevant.
