Comment:

Dr. Streufert is very smart man, but struggles explaining concepts simply and understandably. Overall a very nice guy, takes questions in class and genuinely interested in student success (sadly doesn't really translate). Exams are difficult, and not at all like homework questions. If you're in 2260, be sure to get past exams from other students...

He is a good person. Very patient and helpful if you go to his office hour. But the exams are hard.

Comment:

There's no point in going to lectures because he just reads off the slides. I taught myself entirely from the textbook and the course online resource and did very well. His exam questions are incredibly similar to the online resource practice questions, so if you do those you can definitely get a good grade!

Comment:

No homework practice, just some general conclusion per chapter, did not utilize the textbook and some part of the exam just impossible to answer nor to understand. When reviewing there arent much material to work on since he didnt teach by textbook.

Comment:

No point going to his lectures because all he does is read off the slides. I found the exam questions unfair compared to the practice ones he gives. DO NOT TAKE unless you want to be putting in A LOT of work outside of class as he doesn't explain things well. If you've taken econ in high school, you should be okay with him, but otherwise, avoid it.

He is a really nice prof with super-hard exams, the only reason I chose him is that he is the only choice. He is pretty patient and easy-going but it is quite hard to stay awake in his class. Good luck to you guys if you choose him.

Comment:

He genuinely cares about his students and always makes sure that everybody understands something before moving on in the lecture. But he seriously needs to get more organized. Two of the exams started over 20 minutes late. The exams were either easy or incredibly difficult, and you had no way of knowing what difficulty to expect.

Comment:

This prof gave me the worst experience in Econ I have ever had. The lectures he provides should be put into clinical research because it can make people with insomnia fall asleep. His class average was 45% for the second midterm and adjusted it to 55% because first midterm was "too high" (81%?). Had a bad time with him and definitely avoid.

Comment:

Great guy--Very relaxed and layed back as he lectures. His explanations are clear, analytical, intuitive, and precise. Do not skip over his problem sets and book problems as they will most likely appear on his predictable exams. I hardly thought it was an honours class, but then again I'm registered in the Science and not 'Social Science' dept.

Comment:

Here is the only advice you need: understand the lecture examples and do the practice problems. Do those and unless you are a retarded monkey, u will easily get 70. He might throw you a curveball on tests (which ends up being only 2% of the overall test mark) but generally, he doesn't surprise you. u know he's a cool guy because he plays monopoly

Great prof. He's extremely approachable and friendly. His lectures were great, and if you take good notes in class you won't even have to touch the textbook all semester (except to do homework questions which appear on the quizzes).

Comment:

Best prof! Very friendly and answers questions thoroughly. He cares greatly about his students and respects ALL questions. If you attend all classes and do the homework questions, you can easily score a grade of 95+! You don't have to read the textbook, but you need to know how to solve the assigned questions from the book for the exams.
