AAE 419
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I took both AAE215 and 419 with him. He is a nice, kind old man. Huge badger fan. 215 was very easy. As long as you go over the lecture notes and some questions on the book, you will be fine. 419 is harder and small class. His lecture notes for that class were nothing so do need to go to lecture. 6 quizzes, no midterm. Can take cheat sheet to final

He's a very good and clear lecturer. Discussion is optional but you get 5% extra credit from it so it's worth going to! He knows what he's talking about.

Exams were incredibly straightforward and you also get notecards too. Professor Jones is very passionate about what he teaches, and while the subject material isn't the most interesting, it's still nevertheless a very easy "A".

Great professor, good class. Econ isn't my strong point, but his class made it interesting. I didn't mind studying for tests, although I struggled with them a bit. I'm happy with this class as a whole!

He is very funny and is amazing at making econ, usually a boring subject, interesting and relateable. The tests are tough if you do not pay attention in lecture, but you do get a note card.
