He's a great professor and knows what he is doing! Although, the subject can potentially be hard, he's helpful and is super nice. He may sound monotone but don't let that fool you, his sense of humor is awesome!

Class was intimidating at first, but got better. Online HW straight from the book, write notes to turn in for quiz credits. My friend actually retook this class and help me, so I say this was pretty easy. He teaches from the book...

Comment:

Economics is not my best subject, and Mr.Wade did nothing to alleviate my problems. It's just hard to understand. His lectures are from the book, he does give sample problems to help us but overall try to get as much points as possible in order to not fail when tests/finals come! There's no study guide.

This class was very challenging. No matter how much I pay attention or study I could not grasp the concept. I guess Microecon is not for me. He gives out 3 Exams and a Final. 10 Online homework (10 problems each) & about 5-7 in class problems. I managed to get a "C" with 4 missing assignments and bombing the final.By the way, he curves. Good luck!

Pray for the best but prepare for the worst.You can study the notes til you memorize every line but it won't matter cause his tests are nearly impossible. You NEED to go to every class because of pop quizs and BELIEVE me you need all the points you can get to create that safety net when the test crushes you. I'm normally a B student but not here.

No study guide. Class requires you to attend in order to do inclass problems. Notes are unnecessary, basically from the book. Professor is nice but if you truly want to know more about the subject visit his office hours. If not, you must be a good darn reader.

This class is not an easy one but he makes it very interesting. I didn't get an A but it is very possible, if I would have studied. Go to the tutor he has for homework, it will save you hours. Do the sugg. problems he gives you, they are on his tests. He is very fair. I really likes his class. He will answer any questions you have. Good Luck.

I LOVED this class b/c it was actually CHALLENGING! You *need* to have a very good handle on basic calculus. He teaches very well and will stop for any questions. Though attendance isn't mandatory, you should make an effort to attend anyway. The tests aren't THAT hard if you study and he helps with the hws so just WORK HARD and don't be lazy!

Comment:

Good teacher. Attendance mandatory. It's hard because this is a very time consuming course. In order to do well 1. Read chapters before class. 2. Do check stations in book while reading. 3. Do assigned problems at end of chapter. 4.Get a study partner...helps to have 2 or 3 brains figuring out problems. Tests=explaining concepts and doing problems.

Comment:

The teacher doesn't post powerpoint slides online so he lectures while you are trying to copy the slides down. His tests are hard and you can't really prepare for it by studying his materials. There is not enough time for homework assignments. I spent two days a week preparing for this class. No point in taking it if you aren't econ major.

Comment:

Extremely difficult for absolutely no reason. The reason the marks are so low is because the homework assignments are given only a week in advance (which is not long enough for most in this class) and there are no notes allowed on the tests. Much of the this class is based on formulas that need to be manipulated algebraically without the formula.

Comment:

this class sucks. his tests are hard, the homework is only able to be done with ten people all helping each other and he makes you play this lame game that costs you $20 on top of everything else. don't take him...unless you really like math and really boring teachers.

Comment:

I really enjoyed his teaching method. Fair & reasonable. ECON is going to be hard, no matter who you take. If u really want to learn & earn your grade, take him. Gives EXCEL HWs, but make sure to GO TO CLASS to understand how to do them & tests. Class is easy if u don't ditch! Try your best & you'll do fine. Don't worry. He's a good prof.

Comment:

This class is very hard. It is very necessary to go to class and take copious notes and to ask a lot of questions. The homework is not like the tests or a lot of the examples in the book. His notes are useful for understanding the concepts but not for doing examples, which the majority of the test is made up of. But he is pretty patient.

Comment:

His class is pretty hard. What is frustrating is that he does not give any hints regarding what will be on the exam. You have to study all the materials, but only a fraction will be on the exam. All exams are ****ulative!!! HW is challenging, but is necessary to pass the exams; get in study groups for HW. He's nice, but should ease up on difficulty

Good teacher, the class is not very easy, but he tries his hardest to get people to understand the concepts. The tests are a bit difficult and are written tests with a little multiple choice. After the class was over I had a lot of economics knowlege.

Comment:

I think he is the best teacher for this class. The class is one of the hardest classes I've had but it's the content not the teacher. There's 3 tests, he curves and 7 homeworks (2 are dropped). He also has labs to help you do the homeworks, go to those and you'll get full credit. Martin is funny and sarcastic, I recommend him.
