The midterms were a lot of writing and sometimes unclear, but Junda was happy to clarify if anyone had questions.

Clearly smart in his subject but I would wait a few years at least before taking another class of his. Teaching is not an inherit skill for everyone.

However, I personally found his lectures and slides a bit disorganized and hard to learn from. If you are interested in economics, he would be a cool guy to talk to, but I struggled to conceptualize the material in the way he presented it.

Lectures are very interesting and applicable. Lots of graphs, charts, and information on lectures. Lectures had \"in the news\" slides of new events related to the course. Readings are interesting/important but somewhat optional (some more optional than others). There were few exams and they were very reasonable.
