Comment:

Though I took this as an in person class, all the homeworks, test, and quizzes (including the final) were online and done at home. I didn't learn one thing from actually being in class and his accent is kind of hard to understand. I used quizlet for most of the answers and somehow managed to pass.

Comment:

Thick accent youll need to get used to. Can be a bit blunt, but is genuinely a nice man who makes cheesy but funny jokes in class. Extremely knowledgeable about economics, but because of this, doesnt always explain well. Reads right off the PowerPoint word for word most times. You will need to read book yourself to pass.

Comment:

Professor Bajwa was a easy going teacher. The class isn't hard to pass at all, everything is online. Just show up to take the notes and read a little bit here and there and your good. He loves to make jokes which at most times are corny and the class drags every time. Besides that he isn't a bad guy.

Comment:

So boring. Hard to understand but so funny. Very boring lectures that make the time go by so slow. There are 10 tests online and 2 online exams. Barley read the book and go the answers online. Easy A but if you read the book the tests its hard and it was hard to learn in the lectures it sucked. Great man just not the best teacher

Comment:

Microeconomics. Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Teaches straight out of the book and does not inspire students to learn or take interest. Everything he uses is from the publisher. Very Very boring lectures that do not involve the students at all. Homework and tests are online, so you can Quizlet everything and come out with a B no problem.

Difficult to understand at times because of his thick accent, but he knows economics and if you put in the work to understand, the class isn't bad. He's really funny and seems like a good guy.

Comment:

He seems like an easy going guy but he doesn't care to help you with your grade. He likes to make jokes that aren't funny and likes to pick on people. He's very cocky. His Hw are complex, you really have to read the chapter and get a tutor. The tests are complex as well. Tests grades are higher than your hw grades. If you can, avoid him.

Worst professor I've ever had, does not care about the students, will not take time to even help you or point you in the direction of help, can not even understand him. I suggest anyone, to avoid taking his classes. Was absolutely awful!

The first test was tough but after that it became open book. As long as you do the practice problems in class you should be fine. Make sure you take good notes so you are ready for the test.

Comment:

Do yourself a favor and avoid taking Bajwa. He is very hard to understand, often strays off topic, and makes it known that he does not care about your grade. He reads right from the power point slides and when a question is asked his answer is often unclear. He does not make himself available to help you, so you better have a good tutor.

Comment:

I took Bajwa for Business Statistics 1, and the format of the the class was very similar to his ECON classes, with 4 Exams including the Final and 10 HW's, he cancelled 2 classes which only gave us time for 7 HW's instead of 10, and we only received credit for the 7, my advice would be to use GOOGLE for the HW's, and memorize the HW's for each test

Comment:

You have to do your own work and actually READ THE BOOK. I would suggest you read the chapter before class in order to be able to ask relevant questions. Great teacher if you can understand him and want to actually learn. Yes he reads off the slides but try asking a question and see what happens. Def a class for those w the intellectual fortitude.

Comment:

All the previous comments are true. He just reads off the slides and doesn't even try to help students learn. When a student in my class asked him if he "even cares that the whole class is failing" he replied "no, its ok with me." Can't understand a word out of his mouth and the subject is difficult to begin with. 0/5 DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

I went to him for tutoring because there are no tutors for this subject and he told me there's nothing he can do to help me. I cant understand a word he says besides economics.

The first test in the class the class avg, was a 48. He didn't change his teaching accommodations to the fact the whole class was doing poorly. He just reads off of the slides which are of zero help for homework and tests, I strongly recommend NOT taking him.

Comment:

He is absolutely awful. He doesn't explain any of the material and talks about himself the entire class. I now know way too much about his life and opinions, and nothing about macroeconomics. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Trust me. He shouldn't even be allowed to teach.
