Comment:

Online class is self-taught w/out much interaction. Don't skip the extra credit, it's weighted heavily. Take practice tests at the end of the chapter, and check your work with the answer key, they will be on the test verbatim. Tests will sometimes disagree with book test answers, and are sometimes over material not covered yet. T/F q's are tricky.

Comment:

The class was made of about 50 quizzes that were only about 10 questions with no time limit and they were easy and usually directly from the textbook. You couldn't open the next quiz until you finished the previous one. It was nice pacing and there was no final. The extra credit goes a long way. I also never had to talk to the professor

I thought this professor did a great job teaching this class, the pace was quick but I appreciated the opportunities for extra credit, and the easy going vibe. Enjoyed this class!

Comment:

The class is graded entirely on cookie-cutter online quizzes, with all the answers easily found on quizlet/chegg, His lecture material does not even match the quiz material of the week. Easy A, but it is hard to recommend this instructor.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Yes, there are 3-4 quizzes a week varying from 3-10 questions, but they are NOT times and all the answers are on quizlet. Easiest class ever. Don't bother buying the textbook. Complete the course ahead on your own time as long as you get things done on time. Extra credit is the best. Got 101%. The teacher isn't involved much tho

I know I'm not stupid, but I have no idea what's going on. Pretty much relying on Khan academy.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! If you are normally an A student, except atleast a C, with far greater stress and less to show for it. The class online is structured so you take a test about 4-5 times a week. They are short tests but nothing is consistent. Between the book and online files you will not get enough information and be forced to google it.

Don't take this class if you're majoring in business. Macro is a foundation course for your major classes and I didn't learn squat in this class. Pretty much I was winging this course. smh

Get ready to teach yourself macro. The teacher just lectures from the book, so theres no point coming to class. There are 3 timed quizzes, which you hardly have time to finish and weekly hw. Take the other teacher.

Comment:

This class is all test and quizzes and really does not take much time out of the week. The power points he gives helps, but the sample quizzes in the books are really useful on the quizzes. Most of the homework and tests are on quizlet. Class is easy but this professor literally adds nothing to this class. Easy A so you can't complain.

Basically a self-teach class like college should be. The book is easy to understand. I recommend taking macro before micro (lots of graphs and more math involved). There is assigned hw once a week (30-60 questions). 3 timed quizzes. no final. You're going to do fine if you read the book.

Hes a nice, approachable guy. I'll be taking his online class next quarter since all of his quizzes are on canvas. No finals and hw are not graded. I recommend doing the hw on every chapter to grasp the concepts. Great class if you're good at self-teaching.

Comment:

The economics professors are not that great here. If you are required to take this class, take the other teacher. Everything is self-taught and time consuming for students with no background in economics. You are better off learning from khan Academy than him.

Good choice for the student who likes to work at their own pace and doesn't mind figuring out somethings on their own. Class grade is all quizzes, few assignments and one extra credit opportunity.

Comment:

I took this class as a hybrid so partially online and partially lecture in class. Honestly you don't even need to show up for class he doesn't grade on attendance and everything is online. Lots of homework that is pretty hard and your grade is all homework and quiz's. There are a few extra credit opportunities. Class was eh
