Maybe it was the online learning. But this class was quite literally the most awful class I had ever taken.

Comment:

This class was a headache! I took this during COVID where we recorded his lectures and they were not entertaining at all. He expects you to retain all of the smallest information for a final that is 120 questions within the frame of 3 hours. It was not a good experience and his lectures were very unhelpful and boring.

All of his lectures besides the first one were not live. I heard he was a lot better in person. Lectures are boring. If you are interested in economics you will do well. Many people fail this class.

Probably the best professor I have ever had. He presents the material clearly. He also connects the topics to real life and is very funny, making it easier to pay attention in class.

Comment:

On Day 1, he tells you that lecture + recitation + textbook an A in his class, and it's 100% true. You will do really well if you understand the (interesting) lectures and read the end-of-chapter summaries before the tests. (And as of Spring 2020, you can't opt-out of the final by doing well on previous exams.)

Comment:

Tests are way too compare to the other professor. Hates electronics so you have to take notes by hand which is stupid. Pop quizzes to check attendance at 8 am lectures. Really? He certainly knows the material very well but lectures can be boring. All it matters for ECO 001 is you get a good TA since recitations will explain everything better.

Comment:

I'm actually quite sad that I probably won't have the opportunity to take him again. He's an awesome guy who actually manages to make economics semi-enjoyable. He also said the best way to study from the TB was to read the summaries at the back of each chapter so yeah, just saved you a bunch of reading.

Comment:

Amazing professor. Takes the time to make sure that students enjoy his course. He uses funny examples to help during lectures. He does not use slides, so you have to take notes. He gives curve busters, so you have to show up if you want those points. Exams are hard, and they are weighted very heavy, so make sure to study for them.

Comment:

His lectures are really good except he doesn't use any slides and just writes random things on the board so you can't zone out even for a minute or else you'll get really lost. Everyone made me nervous for the tests but if you study and read the book they are super manageable. If you do well enough on first 2 exams you don't have to take the final.

He makes lectures interesting. He has 1 question open note quizzes 6 times a semester in lecture which count. Study for tests and material continuously repeated.

Comment:

Fantastic guy who made the class fun even if you've never taken econ before. I HIGHLY recommend reading the textbook chapters before the lectures because his lecture notes aren't easy to copy from, and he moves through material fast. the tests aren't hard if you keep up, but can have some annoyingly specific grading criteria, so go to class!

Great guy, even better stories. As long as you make it to almost every lecture (7:55 a.m.) and do what he asks of you, the class should be an easy A. I never used the textbook and got a B+, those who really put the effort in did receive A's.

Comment:

Great professor. His anecdotes and story telling in class make the content very memorable, and he calls on people constantly so pay attention. He also has pop quizzes that are basically just attendance with an open note question. The exams aren't too bad, but you essentially need to memorize what he says in class.

Comment:

Definitely one of the harder professors, but for good reason. The way he teaches ensures you have a clear understanding of the topic, even if his quizzes may be a bit tougher than other sections. Highly recommend going to his office hours and not skipping class (it's not worth missing a whole lecture or curve buster).

My favorite professor/teacher ever. You can see how much he cares through his lectures, which are always extremely interesting. Makes boring topics interesting through funny stories & I think that he does a great job at making material seem less complex. Such a great guy. Go to his office hours. It really helps!!

Comment:

The is a lot of hype over this professor. Honestly I thought this was a really difficult class since I had never taken an economics course before. He likes to throw you curveballs on the exams. He curves his class in the end but he doesn't like when people get As.
