Comment:

Very hard to understand because of his thick accent. A lot of graphs and charts. The book should help you through the course. Pretty sure he copy and pastes questions from the Internet on to the quizzes. He's not engaging and just a very dry course avoid him if you can.

Comment:

Average professor. Very dry. His lectures aren't particularly helpful, but they aren't confusing, either. His assessments are fairly easy, but the online MC ones can be rough. He doesn't take attendance, so your grade really depends on how you do on tests (especially the final).

Comment:

Not one of my more interesting classes but thats microeconomics for you. Prof Saranjam did a great job of using relative examples that made things easier to understand but the material was still challenging. I would highly reccomend staying up with the readings as Saranjam only goes over the graphs and charts whereas the book does vocab.

Comment:

This is your stereotypical lecture class. I am a good student, but this class was extremely boring to the extent that I lost interest. The teacher does not know who you are, nor keeps attendance. Quizes are all online and can be Googled. Midterm and Final requires looking at his notes and the book. Boring class, but not that hard.

Comment:

A solid micro teacher. Has a funny accent, and is a bland person, but is quite clear and provides a lot of interesting real-world examples. Also, his quizzes are great because they're online, and you can do them twice in a period of 48 hours. Quick warning: he uses a lot of tables and math, so maybe not the best for the math-challenged.

Comment:

4 online quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final. No homework. Not very friendly. His notes are extremely basic so you need to study with the book. Cancels class/doesn't show up sometimes. Not very accessible.

I took him last semster and he stopped giving the answers to the midterm and final ahead of time ... but there are online quizzes and the midterm was really easy (only 7 q's) but the final was really hard but much harder than midterm) however class is easy and he gives you an extra credit option im a poli sci major and this was an easy econ class

Macro = asy easy class. Take home quizzes with all the answers right in the textbook. Super easy midterm. Tons of easy extra credit assignments. Went to class a total of 10 times all year and still got an A-. Grades the final kind of hard, but he's a really nice guy who will answer whatever questions you have.

I hated him the first couple classes but now i absolutely adore him. he's really funny, has a thick accent but isn't hard to understand. all quizzes are take home and you can take them up to 3 times. midterm was really easy. don't need to go to class. most of the stuff is in the book.

Comment:

saranjam on toast is HILARIOUS. he says funny things like that the shoes he bought were "twice money" and "bagels the size of pizza." so classic. i spent most of class drawing and writing down his quotes and still got a good grade. ahmad is really straight forward and loves to ask rhetorical questions that nobody answers-but it's ok, he's adorable.

Comment:

This man is my life. He's hot, he's hilarious, and he knows it secretly. Sexy accent; it's like having Santa Claus teach me (plus some Owl and Cat like features). His class is fun and straightforward and he makes jokes that he giggles at (because they're hilarious). He uses GM in all of his "Exam-Pail"s. Love. him. Hope he's single <333333333

I love this man. His tests and quizes are very easy if you read the book and some of them are even online. He knows what he's talking about and thoroughly explains everything. Plus, his classes are always like 45 minutes long and he doesn't ever take attendance.

Great Professor. Usually puts the quizzes online with unlimited time to do it. Try to go to class, if not everything is pretty straight foward out of the textbbook.

You wouldn't think he's as good of a lecture professor as he is- he's pretty incredible and making macro sensible and easy to understand. Loved his class, would take it again if I had to.

I struggled with this online class, I thought the amount of work was endless! By the end of the class i really appreciated how much I had learned. He graded very fairly and always answered questions. He really wants you to learn and to do well! Loved him!

Comment:

Although not necessary to go to class, he does give useful notes. Still, reading the book is mandatory since the quizzes reference examples from the book. Good professor though, explains stuff well. One thing to keep in mind about him is that he doesn't like to fight so if you feel as though he did something wrong CALL HIM OUT ON IT.

Comment:

he is really clear and writes everything on the bored...you might want to read the book unless your happy with a B-...the exams are easy if you study the review sheet....I enjoyed going to class because i understood the material and was way better than my macro teacher...plus he lets you out like 30 minutes early almost every day
