The class in all online. He gives you dates to have your homework done by, but it is not mandatory to get it done on those dates. Just make sure to keep up with the class. Easy A!

It is basically all online work, which saved my grade. It was the tests that tanked my grade and are super hard. When asking him questions in office hours, he would barely answer them and I walked away more confused.

Comment:

Amos does not teach you anything. He said on the first day of class "showing up to class is a waste of time, there's nothing I can teach you that the book can't." It's all online; just reading and quizzes and tests. If you take this class be sure not to procrastinate. Amos is a nice guy, but WILL NOT raise your grade AT ALL and makes it very clear.

Wrote his own textbook. Doesn't teach in class. Cancelled all classes except Wednesdays at the beginning of the semester. I learned absolutely nothing in this class. I strongly believe he may be the worst professor on campus. Nice guy horrid teacher.

Comment:

I was cleaning some boxes out recently and found my syllabus from Professor Amos' class and it spurred me to write this review because I still remember him 7 years later. This is the worst teacher I have ever experienced, even with all the credits I've accrued since. He is unhelpful, unpleasant, and incredibly arrogant. Avoid at all costs.

I took his online class and I was the easiest thing of my whole life. Although I didn't learn a lot, if you don't care a whole lot about economics, this class if for you. I would email him asking for help, and he was always so quick to respond and was very helpful.

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had. He was never on topic. The material wasn't actually that difficult, but his teaching style is terrible. He never covers relevant information in class, but some test questions will be over his opinions. My advisor said he was awful 12 years ago when she was in undergrad.

Comment:

Very lecture heavy. Book wasn't as helpful as I hoped - wouldn't recommend purchasing. Very clear grading criteria. Grades came from two papers (full credit for completing), and three tests. Finals could be used in place of both midterms if you missed them. Gives copies of exams and answers, even if you didn't take the test. Overall good class.

Terrible, arrogant teacher who constantly talks down to his students. When you attend class he always goes off on a tangent. He is a very tough grader.

Comment:

LET BE BE CLEAR: He is a tough grader, don't expect him to give you bonus points. It's a hard subject. He is not a bad lecturer, he is clear but the material is VERY hard; however, he is super open to appointments and office hours AND gives out his cell number to call him for help. If you just talk to him you will do great in the class. Trust me!!

Comment:

Orley Amos is the worst teacher or professor I have had in my life. He told us not to show up to class that he didn't want to teach, so he put it all online. He made the website that the work is on, we each had to pay $80 for it, and the website runs horrible. I'm a straight A student with an A in this class, but it's not worth the frustration/rage

AWFUL teacher and class. I would take a different teacher if you need to pass ECON2103 because it will not happen if you take this teacher. So much work you do not stand a chance having time to understand. The material makes no sense and because it's his book he wrote, good luck understanding any of it.

Can't think of anything good to say about Orley. He's extremely boring, unhelpful, and arrogant. His tests are impossible because he gives you no clue on what they will cover or how to study for them. Avoid if possible. Awful professor

Everything was out of his on-line book. Be prepared to have all tests, quizzes and exams directly from his on-line book. Work at your own pace class... Finished the entire class in 1 week. Some questions quizzes on exam. I would highly suggest printingcopying questions into a word document for easier studying. Copy entire book into word document

Lectures are useless.. As is the reading. Tests/homework are extremely hard, and even if you look for the answers in the reading you won't find them. Terrible teacher wrote his own terrible book. AVOID at all costs.

Very boring class. Lectures are useless and there is no use of notes or online material. Tests are extremely hard, over lots of uncovered subject matter. I do not recommend this teacher.

Comment:

Would NOT recommend this professor to my worst enemy. If you have questions in class, forget trying to ask anything because he will look at you like your stupid. His test are really hard. Avoid this class if you have any other options.
