Comment:

I think this was his first time teaching this class so I'm not sure if he'll change the assignments in the future, but we had three home works and three exams. His exams are exact questions from the hws so its super easy. He stutters but I never had trouble understanding him, he does ramble but he's a great professor and really helpful if needed

Comment:

He definitely discriminates between men and women. If you are a man, do not take his class. I might be mistaken, but that is what I have been witnessed.

Comment:

Tests were short answer, no multiple choice. The majority of things discussed in class were on the exams and I rarely used my textbook. If you understand macroeconomics, then this class is easy, if not, I strongly advise you not to take this class.

Comment:

He does not coordinate with his TA, who designs the tests. The lectures are from elsewhere, and he likes to ramble. We will just say that a "B" for the class was a 73. Now you decide if it was an effective class.

Comment:

Very difficult if you have never taken economisc, which is not a prerequisite. Lectures done follow textbook OR SYLLIBUS. No help at all. Heavily relies on TAs which are noe helpfull either. Very poor course. Do not take!

Comment:

I had to drop this class b/c his tests are short answer (no multiple choice). His lectures are boring and too quick so you can't copy all of the notes. He also stutters a lot so it's hard to understand him. I wouldn't take this course with him!

You have to attend every single class to be on track. Not much help from the assigned text.
