Comment:
Very smart and knows the world economics of the current and past systems. He is very wise. If you can handle taking good notes and asking questions, you will succeed. He is difficut to understand because he has an accent but you have to ask questions. He is a cool man but do Not mistake kindness for weakness. He is respected.

Lectures can be somewhat dull, but the professor is very intelligent. If you follow his lectures, you'll do fine on the tests. Gives quite a bit of extra credit, no homework, only tests.

All test and exams are given from his material, separate from the book which make studying quite hard unless you take ALL his notes during lectures. He does give give a lot a of extra credit points which you will definitely need!

this guy is a trip, sit up front and pay attention, do the readings and take notes and you'll be fine. the bonus points end up being almost as much as an exam so go to class (like you're supposed to). accent is pretty heavy but he likes to teach and is extremely knowledgeable about the subject. go to class/do the work/stop complaining!

Comment:
Worst teacher I've ever taken, he doesn't go by the textbook. He gives his own notes, however he doesn't give copies, so you need to copy whatever he puts on the overhead as all his test questions are from his notes. I took him in summer I don't know if he could be different in any other season. "Don't take his class" this is my advise

Comment:
VERY difficult teaching methods. He was satisfied when only a few students understood the concepts and material. His lectures and "study guides" did not do much good when it came to the exams. The only good thing he did was give us extra credit for showing up to class, which bumped me up a whole letter grade.

At first I was scared to stay in the class but then he grew on me; however, his test are 40 questions and the hardest tests I have ever taken!! You have to read the book. He refers to kids that fail as revenue generators. Trust me when I say you MUST work for the grade. Oh and he want 9 hours of studying a week out of you and you will need it.

Comment:
THIS TEACHER IS HEARTLESS & BARBARIC HE EVEN MADE A GIRL CRY IN OUR CLASS. WHY IS THIS GUY TEACHING? YOU CANT UNDERSTAND A WORD HE SAYS. THEN MOST OF THE TIME HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT POINTLESS INFORMATION AND HE TEACHES HIS CLASSES BASED UPON HIS PATHETIC AND VERY STUPID POLITICAL VIEWS. THE CLASS IS WAY TOO HARD AND BASED ON FOUR VERY UNFAIR EXAMS!

Comment:
Horrible....his notes mean virtually nothing, his tests involve up to 7 chapters per test and most of the questions are from the end of the chapter questions.....but where there are 140 questions to try to remember on top of math problems its not exactly easy for a 40 question test....I DO NOT reccommend this teacher for ANYONE!!!!

Comment:
While he's not the best teacher I've had at MCC he certainly is better than Weglarski. He gives you plenty of chances to do well, dropping your lowest 2 quiz scores and many of the quizzes contain repetitive questions from previous quizzes. Just study the questions at the end of each chapter and you'll do fine.

Comment:
Very hard to understand what the man is saying. He relays all his information from a very liberal point of view, rather than being objective and fair. He's paranoid over cheaaters during tests or quizzes, so don't do anything that would make him believe you are cheating (sudden movements, multiple pencils, wearing a hat, etc). Boring speaker.

Great teacher! Pay attention and read the book you'll do fine. Tests are cummulative but he takes questions from the last test and out of the end of chapter tests, so its easy. One question everyone kept getting wrong so he kept telling us the answer and saying that it would probably be on the next exam and idiots would still get it wrong.

This teacher is an old school teacher. He is very good at what he does. If you pay attention and go to class on a regular basis (like youre supposed to) you will do just fine. Pay attention and read the material covered and you will do fine. Great teacher with Great Knowledge. This is not a free "A" pass on this class, do what youre soposed to do a

Comment:
He is a horrible teacher. He needs a linguistics class..he doesnt talk loud enough or clear. He doesnt explain anything, you dont use the book, you dont get homework, you only get a few points extra credit, so all you get are your tests which are very hard. I DO NOT RECOMEND HIM AS A TEACHER...

He has a great knowledge of economics, he just needs to find a beter means of teaching. he is hard to understand, but is very clear on definitions and concepts, if you listen to him, and take notes, you will learn a lot. Dont get on his wrong side though, or he will pick on you for he remainder of the course. also read the book (over and over).
