Prof. Ameen is awesome, very understanding and prompt in responding emails. He truly cares about his students. Get ready to read, not a simple class. But would definitely take another class with this professor.

Hands down to the most amazing professor that I took in my life! Great communication and lecturing skills. Midterms are okay as long as you study and practice the review questions multiple times and also read the textbook. You will have a project but its not that bad. Other than that, he is so smart, a well spoken person, and has great humor.

A humorous guy with great mind for knowledge. He's very easy going with clear grading criteria and give you optional extra credit. Keep your knowledge update with the economy and you'll do great and keep asking questions he doesn't mind answering it.

Amazing professor and just a great guy. Really cares about the field and his students. Not a difficult class if you show up and pay attention. Assignments are manageable and he is a fair grader. Don't be afraid to participate, you'll get so much out of the class if you do.

I would recommend his online class. It is a lot of work and reading but it's online so you have resources available. His paper and discussion are really easy too. Just the quizzes and tests are more difficult. There's 20 chapters you guys go over so yea.

He is an amazing, smart man! I had a tough semester back, after a few years. I was an awesome student until I had medical emergency. I became distracted and extremely stressed out. I reached out to him and he was understanding, caring, patient, helpful, and let me turn in late hw. Im Thankful I had him for my fall semester! Hes really Heaven sent

He is SO understanding and such an awesome professor! Will repeat himself as many times as he needs to, to make sure you know what is going on in the lecture. He does give this macro report at thats due at the end of the semester, and I think that was the hardest thing in his class. Other than that, the class was super easy and very interesting!

Comment:

If you wanna pass this class then get ready to be teaching yourself. If you don't like reading textbooks every day in order to understand whats going on in class then this isn't the class for you. He does give practice questions as a form of study guides. Attend class if you don't want to read the textbook every night or if you miss reading it.

Hes a good professor but you really have to read the book and pay attention in class to really understand the material. He lectures the whole time but gives very little notes. He gives full credit for homework assignments even if you get all the answers wrong.

Comment:

I just finished Professor Ameen's online 5 week course. He is very clear about what he expects from you. I really liked that he gave the class feedback after the class was over, most teachers just give you a final grade. You can tell he wants his students to do well with all the reminder emails he sends out. It was done online so lots or reading.

Comment:

Great class, very straight forward. You need to read a chapter a day to be on track with the 3 due dates and have some time left over to review a bit for the exams. Gave a very good explanation at the end on the current minimum wage that provided a great contemporary insight that went beyond the basic situations in the textbook.

Microeconomics Online. Very responsive via email and extremely knowledgeable. Clear on how grades are weighted, really only 4 due dates, work at your own pace for the most part. Wouldn't describe the course as easy but if you put in the work it will be hard to fail. Quizzes and Exams based on text so sadly it is a must. Would take again for sure!

Professor Ameen is one of the best teachers one can have. His lectures are very easy to understand and he has the patience to explain something multiple times when needed. You can go to his office hours for help as well. He is also very respectful to his students and takes their opinion into consideration.

Took micro online. The course is a lot of work, textbook and on myeconlab. My fav thing about this class is there were only 3 due dates throughout the semester, so you can either turn in many chapters at once or not touch this class for a while without hurting your grade. Lets you manage yourself & SUPER quick and thorough responses to questions!

Professor Ameen has the patient of a saint! He does everything in his power to help you fully grasp the concept, and all of his lectures are captivating. Study up, but don't stress out about the tests because they are always easier than the review guide MC questions. Awesome guy.
