Wehr is one of the best instructors at UTA. Hes super energetic and you can tell he truly cares about economics and his students. During COVID-19 he held regular Team meetings, 3 times a week, and was always available to students who needed help. Really funny and interesting man. Very solid choice!

Best Econ professor. Soooo charismatic I had a 9 AM and he'd wake me right up. BUY! THE! BOOK! Online book & hw gives u so much extra credit it boosts you at least a letter grade. The online hw also helps review & prepare for the test so much. Attend class and take notes and he gives a test review that helps. I suck at Econ but I made an A+ !!

Comment:

His lectures have NO POWERPOINT SLIDES which I think is a pretty good thing it makes it more on you to pay attention and it makes his lectures more interesting. You get 6 extra credit points on each exam for owning the book and more for doing hw. There are 3 exams and a 4th optional make-up exam that can also replace a bad score. It's an easy A.

He is really nice, but he handed to many handouts and this course is really test heavy. He only curves your grades if you buy his e-book.

lecture is where most of the information is learned so dont skip class and take good notes. He is really funny and has a way of teaching the material that really helps you understand it. He offers many extra credit opportunities so take advantage since your grade will likely be composed of 3 tests.

He's a funny guy, no real homework just get the test questions from the book and that is it. The lectures are heavy and have a lot of material and a lot of paper handouts that are on the test. The tests were pretty easy as long as you attend lecture and read the notes.

Get ready for dad jokes! He's amazing! He's super knowledgeable about what he teaches and has 20+ teaching experience. Go to lecture and take good notes. SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT! 3 exams and optional final. Study the review he gives and you'll do great! Best econ professor at UTA.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He offers tons of extra credit if you go to class and do the optional homework. He wants you to pass his class so make an effort! He provides clear and real-life examples of everything in his lectures. Makes econ fun and understandable! Tests are a little difficult unless you attend all lectures.

Comment:

Everything youve read is absolutely true hes one of the best professors Ive taken. The only negatives are he teaches statistics and probability material, which is cool, but 95% of it is unrelated. I took him for a maymester course so Im not sure if that the reason, but he didnt respond to a single students email, which is really frustrating.

Comment:

Dr. Wehr was probably one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He is so funny and he really makes you understand the material. He gives you extra credit and he allows you to take another optional test to replace your lowest grade. He is honestly a great teacher so if you can take him I highly recommend it.

Comment:

Great mix of funny professor (lot of 'Dad' jokes) with an extensive knowledge of Economics. Wehr probably has 3 or 4 ways to explain any topic so if you don't understand something ask him about it. Adds extra credit based on homework completion, curves grades, drops lowest test and doesn't take attendance. Go to lecture though, he's entertaining

Wish I could take him for every class, he's absolutely hilarious! The topics can be confusing sometimes, but he always explains difficult topics with funny examples that are hard to forget. Also, he gives out A LOT of extra credit. Best way to study for the exams is to look over notes only stuff from the lectures are on the exam.

Has amazing lectures and will make you laugh for sure. Always incorporates interesting and funny examples that help explain the topics. 3 exams and 1 optional exam to replace lowest one. Take thorough notes since exams are over lecture. Exams are bit difficult but lots of extra credit given (buy the econlab). Took him for 2305 as well last semester

If you are a transfer student to UTA like myself this class is a good review of Macro before you dig deep into Micro concepts. Prof. Wehr holds hilarious lectures with real impact on how you view the material. One of a kind professor. Grades fairly and if you pay attention in class you will fair well. Digital textbook.

GO TO CLASS, his lectures are definitely worth showing up for! His lectures are entertaining and funny, and he's honestly just a really nice guy in general. His tests can be tricky, but as long as you buy the textbook and get the extra credit you'll come out with an A or B a the end of the semester. Hands down Wehr is an amazing professor.

Comment:

He is a wonderful lecturer! Does not use PowerPoint which is hard to adjust to but gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. BUY THE BOOK, he gives you 6 points per test and more if you do the incentive hw. If you do, 70% turns into an A easy. Only graded on 3 tests, 4th test is optional
