Hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. If you're confused by anything he's absolutely there to help. He's really accessible and is genuinely a good person in an outside of the classroom. Also, he taught the course material in a way that was entirely inspiring and thought provoking.

Brad is a great professor and really is passionate about what he is teaching. I really enjoyed going to class every week. He does have you do a group project throughout the entire semester which is graded individually but requires some outside of class coordination. Overall a great professor.

Brad is an amazing professor! He's so good about going through the material and you can really tell that he cares about what he is teaching. 244 is a tough class if you don't have an econ background and is a lot heavier with econ concepts than the course description leads you to believe.

Brad is a nice, super knowledgeable guy with fair grading. Very understanding. Class has a lot of readings and short papers, but is manageable and fair for upper level econ. Not much math or theory and almost all applied. Would recommend this class! Just make sure to communicate and be clear in assignments.

Brad is AMAZING! One of the best professors at UW. His research is in the area, so he has a lot of knowledge on the global environment. The course covers a lot abt the environment which is SUPER INTERESTING. Lectures are good, with Brad cracking the occasional joke! Simple econ background necessary, graded fairly, lowest quizzes dropped, weekly HWs

Professor Barham is a really solid teacher. You can tell he really cares about what he teaches and wants you to do well. Although the lectures can be a little long he really tries to make them bearable. The readings can be very daunting but the majority of them aren't necessary anything important will be covered in class.
