ECON 302
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
One of the best professors I've ever had. He is very likeable and his teaching style was incredibly clear. He knows exactly which topics need time while not using lecture time on concepts that don't need it, and he answers questions very clearly. Take 302 with him for sure.

ECON 302
Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
This guy knows macroeconomics. Can be unclear at times regarding course concepts, but towards exams he makes it known what you need to know for the exams. I'd suggest reading the book before going to lecture, otherwise it might not make too much sense.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Take 302 with him. He is INCREDIBLE. His lectures were digestible and easy to understand. He made sure to repeat difficult concepts multiple times so you weren't left with any questions. He encourages participation and was very helpful during office hours. He is one of the few profs who will actually TEACH you rather than you teach yourself.

ECON 302
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Impressive free market economist! The lecture was very clear, he knew exactly what he wanted the students to learn, what was important, and what was worth thinking about. He would introduce practical problems. If a model was important and hard to understand, he would repeat the part at least three times, each time in more depth.

The man is about as smart as they come. Quirky in a good way. Take him if you have a chance.
