Comment:

Did not receive grades back for anything until the final grade was posted. No information was given for the project yet we were expected to do it. Other kids in the class received better grades on the take home final and project than me when we had the same answers. He is a biased professor, doesn't teach well either. I learned nothing.

Comment:

The class can sometimes be interesting, but that seems like the only positive. Dont expect the tests to be based on what he has gone over in class. He brings his ideological political opinions into the classroom where there is no need for it. He seems to hold grudges against students, which you wont know about until you see your final grade.

Attendance is always taken. Always giving extra credit. Only graded on the midterm, final, and group project. If you don't get a good grade on the midterm or do decent on the project you are doomed! Good luck

He is a good professor. Lecture heavy, but is very clear on what is on his exams. There is a group presentation at the end of the semester. Three tests. Attendance is required. I found the lectures interesting and was able to keep up. Grades are curved as well. Take him if the opportunity presents itself.

Great guy. Loves what he does. Class lectures are very clear and interesting. Since I am an economics major, it makes perfect sense that I would like him. Very bright man. Well respected. Would absolutely take again. Has class discussions about politics and world news. No homework at all. I advise to take him if you have the opportunity.

He's someone that wants you to learn the broader picture, not the details. it's sometimes was hard to understand, but he made it a lot easier. He definitely care for his students and really wants us to do well.

Took him for a ton of classes and he was super helpful. His econometrics class is tough, however he explains every application in detail and is available for questions before and after lectures. Take him if you are willing to work and you want a professor that knows their subject extremely well.

Very good teacher, let us use a review sheets for exams which helped if you studied prior to the exam. Also gave plenty of extra credit and if you did well on the final presentation then you got exempt from the final. TAKE HIM!!!! an A is definitely possible

Comment:

Very nice & good person. However, I would not say that he is the best teacher by any means. Students were confused with what we were learning and all we did was talk about current political issues (which I was happy about bc I hate econ). For midterms we had to teach ourselves but it wasn't too difficult. He let our final be optional. Got an A-

Probably the coolest and most laid back professor St. John's has and he is really a nice guy, will do almost anything to help you, I still talk to him even though I dont take him anymore and he always asks about how I am doing. his class can get boring but try and pay attention and go to every class! highly recommend!

Comment:

It's Terregrossa, probably the most down to earth professor on campus. I had Terregrossa for like 4 of my economic classes and i didn't do anything but he still gave me a B+. If you want a professor that cares but can't teach, take him. Easy B at least.

He is a very nice guy. He is very knowledgable about the subject and can answer any question you have. very boring though. you must attend every class. don't show up late or leave early. lectures are boring. nothing he says in class is on the test everything is from the book. not an awful class but if you have other options take them instead.

Comment:

Great teacher who really cares about enhancing student intelligence. Class participation and like 3 exams is the bulk of the grade. The material is hard and boring but he does a good job of simplifying it and making it interesting. So far took 2 tests and got A's. READ the TEXTBOOK -only way to get an A on the exams.

he is a really cool guy. He will not fail you if you come to class. He doesnt really give hw. His tests are fair. Just dotn expect an A in this class. He only gives out a couple of A's. Every1 else is in the B range. To do well in his class dont pay attention to anything he says or any crazy graphs . just read textbook and you will be fine

He's a cool guy that likes to talk about current events in the business. Make sure he knows your name, it will help you. I had him for intro to business and macroeconomics, he was pretty easy. He draws a lot of graph and his tests are from the textbook.

Comment:

he is a very smart man and knows alot about economics in the day time, but at night he becomes GRAPH MAN! behind every board he has a graph he just expects you to understand. his tests are on nothing he teaches and he expects you 2 know the textbook inside and out. stay away.
