Comment:

Very inconsiderate. Taking him this Spring 2020, think I'll end up with a C or less. Used to have bonus assignments in class, but when everything went online due to covid, he refused giving bonus assignments when asked, to save our grades; 20mins for 20 questions w/graphs. Ignores emails, doesn't care what students going thru. Set us for failure!

Write everything off the board into your notes! Definitely do some studying outside of class and read the text. He does not require it but if you are like me you will just as lost. Ended dropping the course bc I failed the first two exams. Lack of specification.

Let me tell you the trick to passing his class, show up, take notes on everything he writes on the board. The tests are all multiple choice, he gives you a review to study on. If you only study the review, you will FAIL. Study all the notes, graphs and formulas. Lots of extra credit! PLEASE DO ALL OF THEM. The final was cumulative, 40 questions.

Comment:

love love love this teacher, great lecturer- but i found that if you aren't understanding course material, taking notes before class and then following along with what hes saying & adding in notes from the lecture helps a lot. There's tutoring avail. but i never needed it with this teacher.

I went to his office hours, went to the tutor, went to peers for help, did the study guides and still failed. He was no help at all. There are no other grades but exams so I definitley do not recommend it.

Great professor, writes everything on the board. Everything that he says in class is game for the exam. Gives extra credit often. Bought the book online and never used it. Come to class and you will be fine.

Comment:

He talks kinda fast but writes everything on the board. Copy exactly whats on the board and study that material. Study what the graph is too. He gives reviews which help but arent always exact questions just questions that pertain to the subjects on the test. Give a lot of extra credit which helps. I wouldnt get the book, I didnt use it.

This is a hard class if you do not pay attention. Be prepared to write everything he writes down on the board in your notes. He also draws pictures that will be on the test. He gave 5 tests and some extra credit. No daily grades.

Comment:

Frank was a good prof. Wasn't fond of him at first, but over time I learned his teaching style. This class isn't an easy A for most people. Just be prepared to write down everything he writes on the board. Learn your notes and you will pass your tests with flying colors. 5 tests including the final. No papers and no homework. Tons of extra credit.

This professor is awful! He rambles for an hour, bouncing around from subject to subject, his examples are confusing, and his lectures are boring.

Comment:

I took him for Macroeconomics, he explains the material very well! He would go the extra mile so you see the big picture. He explains the material the way I want it explained to me. I would take him again. Note: I dont know his orientation, but he fits your typical white gay guy stereotype. It doesnt bother me, but might bother others. Great prof!

Comment:

Dr. Frank is a great teacher and he lectures so you understand. The class was in game theory, so was very interesting and never boring. Great choice for economics credit. Class activities are fun. Tests can be tough, but he gives you the options for essay portion and one is randomly chosen the day of exam. Funny guy.

Dr. Frank is a good professor. This class should be fairly easy if you study. He gives out reviews before every test. If you do the reviews you will do fine on the exam. He also gives a lot of extra credit, so go to class!

Comment:

Tough class. He has a hard time taking it slow. Sometimes he gets so a head of himself that he he has to work backwards to catch you up. He answers everyone's question but tends to talk to only certain students while instructing so it can be awkward to ask something. I really think I learned very little compared to what I knew before this class.

If you show up for class and take good notes, you will do great. This was my favorite class ever. Dr. Frank's humor is perfectly sarcastic and his organization skills are godlike. He expects a lot of students. He shares relevant news to keep us engaged. I never wanted to miss his class because I enjoyed his lectures so much. Take this course!!
