Comment:

This is the second time I'm taking his class. Took Macroeconomy before and this time Microeconomy online. Textbooks are free and he explains a lot of materials through his lectures that are very helpful. If you study for this class, take the quizzes you will get a good grade.

His classes are interactive with real life scenarios. He does lesson short videos for better understanding. There is homework for every lesson and he gives second chances if needed for a better grade so if you are dedicated to your classes you won't have any problem. I really enjoyed the class with Prof. Gosselin!

Comment:

Professor Gosselin is the most understandable professor I had so far. He will give you chances to get your best grade. I always receive a response from him in less than 24 hrs. His assignments are easy if you follow the instructions provided and read the lecture. The evaluations are fair and he provides different learning methods.

I was on the verge on failing the class and he made it his goal to help his class pass. He gave us extra credit, study guides, tips on taking the exam. He is honestly the best professor Ive had at HCC in the 2 years Ive been here.

Comment:

He gave us a review for the first two midterm exams but for the final, he told us to look for 41 vague concepts in the book, quizzes, past exams and videos posted on Canvas. The only good thing about this course was that the book was free and you will have to pay 12 dollars for 'MyMobLab' to play childish games which don't really help for the exam

Comment:

If you have a question about a quiz question, and you happened to get it right, but ask him for further explanation, he will insult your intelligence by claiming you got the right answer by googling it. Also, if you happen to pick a wrong answer on his Socrative assignments, he will call you dumb. He wasted lecture days on pointless assignments.

Comment:

Sometimes his answer choices on the quiz are not right. He will claim you did not read the book if you can't answer his questions (a small nitpick where each chapter is 20 pages long) in class right away. His lectures were maybe two or three days behind the chapter quizzes due date. He will mark your answers wrong if you got it right.

Comment:

I can not stress this enough, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! He expects you to learn this hard terms on your own and when it comes to test time basically tricks you with questions. Class averages were the lowest I've ever seen in an online class. He also doesn't reply to emails regarding anything. If you don't want to lower your gpa, don't take this class

Comment:

Just wow. Wish he would've had more accurate reviews prior to taking his course. He is extremely heavy on reading and if economics is not your thing it can get boring very quickly. He will ask that you read for hours outside his class.

This professor seems to not care about his students. No extra credit and reviews are completely different from tests. His exams are extremely difficult. Finding a different professor for Econ 2302.

very hard class that shouldn't be this hard. you need to put a lot of effort and time into. if you have a heavy schedule dont take this class. he expects you to invest a lot of time into this class outside of school. he gives reviews for tests but they are nothing like test. overall wouldn't recommend. good luck

Comment:

This professor knows what he's talking about in econ and you can learn allot from his lectures and courses also he saves you big bucks on school resources such as an online book, wallstreet journal, and moblab that ended up costing me maybe 20 bucks. He's very resourceful and if you're a student who is willing to put in time for the class take it.

Comment:

Took online in a 8 week course. Lots of reading since you do 2 chapters a week, and have to read articles that he links as well. Lockdown Browser Exam every other week, drops your lowest one. Low cost class, I spent about $22 (book is available in PDF, you sign up for moblab & wall street journal). Only had one essay assignment 200-500 words.

Comment:

I don't want to rate this Prof down, he is a very respected and cool. But when it comes to real ECON matters he can not deliver the lecture efficiently, he understands the material but can't make you understand. He lectures more about minor things rather than real ECON lectures. Quizzes are absolutely out of context and soooooo confusing.

Comment:

Took him online and had to email him weekly because he would post the wrong assignments or he wouldn't post them at all. Didn't hear one positive thing about this professor (according to people who were taking the same course with me at the time). There is a lot of work, and reading. Be prepared to be on top of things.

Comment:

Prof. Gosselin was a good instructor. With good study habits, you can manage to get an A. A vast majority of the assignments are online, practically an assignment due every week. His lectures are amazing but READ BEFORE CLASS! The exams are NOT easy, but practice the material, do the reviews, find a study group, and you'll enjoy his class.

He is really nice, but the class is pretty difficult. You have to try your best or you will not do well. Do not expect an easy "A" with Prof. Gosselin.

Comment:

I wanted to drop after 2wks. Fortunately, he changed the exam process after the cataclysmic 2nd exam. He gave us, then, review questions and made us take the test in class. Which was better than using the responduapp. (If u'r still struggling in English avoid him online). I appreciated that he tried to make the class not dull with many activities.
