Comment:

Dr. Wargo is a nice guy and can be strange at times, but you can't beat the way he runs his online class. Attendance is optional but you really need to teach yourself. The test make up a huge portion of the grade which is really annoying but you can take them 2 times so that makes it a little better.

I'm re-taking Macro to see if I can boost my GPA, and I'm glad I found Wargo's class. Attendance isn't mandatory. Lectures are recorded. There's 1 HW per week (15 HW's @ 30 questions each) and unlimited attempts on all questions, 5 Tests + Final (40 questions). You're able to take all Tests twice. All HW's and Tests are up and available at week 1.

Comment:

His behavior is a little erratic but he's actually a cool guy. He really cares if his students learn what he is teaching. Lectures last from the second you walk in to the second you walk out. Tests and homework are all online. No cumulative midterm or final. Take him if you want an econ class that is a bit easier.

Cares a lot about helping students succeed, and has some pretty interesting lectures. He's a little unorthodox, but it's easy enough to do well in his class, and he goes out of his way to help students take advantage of some great opportunities.

I took this class online, the material is definitely hard but he gives unlimited attempts and time for homework and he gives two attempts for exams, it doesnt get any better than that.

Comment:

The material he teaches in class has nothing to do with homework or tests. Homework and tests are still easy. Gives off a strange vibe in class. Tends to single out the international students. Still a nice guy otherwise.

Comment:

He is an extremely nice guy and very funny. It was not an online class but every exam and homework were online and you can take them more than once. The class is an easy A if you do the homework prior to taking the exam. Although the things he teaches in class are not that helpful for the homework/exams.

Comment:

Doc Wargo, as he calls himself, was great to have as a teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable in economics. Classes were spent talking about interesting real world stuff, but pretty unrelated to what we were tested on. He tries to hide his political bias when talking about policies, etc, but is terrible at it. Tests are online, the class is cake.

Comment:

He's a really nice guy, but he's not the best at teaching the material. If you truly want to learn & understand, you're either gonna need to ask a million questions for clarification during class or read straight out of the textbook on your own time. He does his best to relate what you're learning to current events, so that's nice.

Comment:

He expects us to understand concepts prior to his "teaching," which consists of him talking about current events (exclusively). He would probably be amazing at teaching a higher level of economics, but I am so lost in this intro class seeing as how I knew very little prior to taking this class, and I can't say I know much more now. But he's nice.

Comment:

He seems like a nice guy but the structure of the online class just does not work. You will be teaching yourself most of the concepts and will be stuck to a computer for a long time. All of the work is through the textbook's online program. If you must take this class online, I'd suggest to watch YouTube videos on the topic; try to take on campus!

Took his macroecon class online and hated it! All he does is sit and eat on his computer and attempts to explain the material through a webcam. you're better off teaching yourself the entire course

His was one of my first Online classes. He kept each lecture interesting and used the online econ lab homework as a teaching tool, not just a grading tool. I wish all online classes were taught this way.

Really nice guy and has the best intentions, but hard to follow in lecture and even harder to retain knowledge. Pretty easy to get high grade, but nearly impossible to learn.

He is a good pro. I took his online class, it's very easy. I am a not good student, but I still got a A-. Use Mylab do some HW, quiz,and exam. You can check answer every time. No limite on every exam. You know, get his class, you must be get A grade.

Awesome teacher! relates econ to real life events in your life that will stick out in your head and help you on tests! His TA is pretty cool too, he looks like a Jcrew model.
