Comment:

Great professor, but very monotone. Homework is web based and can be done over and over again until you get your desired grade. Tests are easy if you do the practice midterms and finals a couple times. His practice tests are VERY SIMILAR TO THE ACTUAL TEST!!

Really nice professor who knows what he is talking about. He is very fair when it comes to grading and tries to provide the students with a clear explanation of its topics. Also he talks kinda low but overall I truly enjoyed his class!

You will undoubtably battle not to fall asleep in this class which stinks since this course is VERY difficult but try to stay awake so that you can get an "okay" understanding of the course because if you do, it will be worth it come test time as HE GRADES ON A HUGE CURVE! There is only a midterm and final. On The Midterm 40 is a C, and a 70 is B.

What curve are you people talking about? My class didn't get one. Regardless, its still a decent class. Boring? Yes, but you do learn though

Really nice guy...i would have to agree with the monotone voice but he sure does know his stuff. His homeworks are hard but if you pay attention, you should be fine. I'm absolutely terrible in math and I did well in the class with studying. (b+)

If you want to learn about economics don't come to Post!Hard tests with a huge curve. Very boring, but has no attendance and all of the notes are online. Just go to class once a week for announcements. This gives you an edge for your other classes. Got a 55 on the midterm and it counted as an A- Definetley reccomend for Micro!

Comment:

I had a lot of fun in T. Barr's statistics class. The hw assignments are hard if you are bad at math but otherwise the class was ok. He grades on a monster curve on midterm and final with a grade of C assigned to scores of 46-76. I skipped a few classes and still pulled a B+. Sit through the boring lecures...it will be worth it.

I'm so bored and not because it's economics but because this teacher is the worst. His voice is dull, he has no enthusiam and he's just wack. I shoulda stuck with Professor Lee, now he's the man!!

Spam and Zima....such a boring class to sit through....to be honest though i never went to class, handed in my hw (the 2 we had to do all semester), failed the midterm and still pulled an A in the Class. So if your looking to do nothing and get a good grade for it, this is the class

Comment:

Agree with the one below. He's very boring: MONOTONE voice. His exams are hard, if you don't study. He's a nice prof but if you don't like ECO, don't take him, b/c you might not do well.

He is so BORING!He talks monotone for the entire time.The class began with 40 students and 1 day, 12 showed up!All he does is draw charts and do equations.He just confuses u.If u like to talk about Spam and Coke, then take it.But I dont recommend it.
