Comment:

Great guy loved his class, tests were hard to start but get easier once you get to know his style, exam very easy if you have been to class, definitely recommend this prof but this course is not a bird course be prepared to do some readings, no homework besides studying for the tests and reading the textbook.

Comment:

Tests on info not taught in class/in book. Changes criteria on tests without telling the class. Late for class every day. He doesn't know how to explain anything in class/when you go see him in his office. He makes fun of students. Spends to much time on easy topics&doesn't leave time for more complicated topics and expects you to learn it yourself

Amazing prof, simple tests, read the textbook, pay attention and participate. He calls you out..so what? his questions are easy and his marking(final) is VERY subjective as to how much he thinks you put in! Loves exotic cars and goofy examples

he freindly and approachable but he calls you out in class and embarasses you in front of everyone. i learned more economics from the web then from his classes. the text book he uses isnt good, to complicated. he gives no relevant reviews for exams

Comment:

Very kind and approachable professor. Sit close to the front of the class, because he speaks very quietly. As long as you take notes in class and pay attention you'll do well, he's good at making the concepts easy to understand.

Makes an otherwise uninteresting subject fascinating. He is the reason I am majoring in Economics. Do not expect to coast however, he challenges you to think, and expects more than most professors.

Comment:

Excellent teacher. He reviews everything from previous classes in the next lecture before going on, and really helps you understand the material. If you pay attention in class, he'll ask the questions that he puts on tests and exams, so if you know how to listen, you'll do fine. Best Economics prof at X

Awesome professor. He's hard, and you have to attend every single class but at the end of the year you will have learnt something. If you're not at school to learn, don't take him. Otherwise I highly recommend him as a professor.

Comment:

Hard to understand, does not answer questions asked in class, appeals only to ECON majors and teaches in a warped manner. Lectures make everything more difficult to understand. Tests are on the textbook that he never refers to. Take someone else unless you are advanced in economics.

Teaches a really structured class, and is very lenient with his marking scheme. He does talk softly and has a strong accent but you get used to it. Overall he is really smart and very fair.

Comment:

For a 100 level course, Dr. A-T does not appeal to the masses. His lectures are unstructured and hardly understandable. His lecture voice is similar to that of a personal conversation. Not easy to hear.
