ECON 302
Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
He's very passionate about macroeconomics. His lectures can be dull, but he tries to make them fun and interesting by cracking jokes and applying concepts to current events. He cares a lot for his students. He offers 10+ office hours, and he shares his cell phone #. His exams are not that bad and they're fair but you still need to study to do well.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Terrible. Drones on and on. Apparently really smart, but should not be teaching undergrads. Also, used some knock-off text book that he often disagreed with that was fraught with errors--there are so many better textbooks but his questions came straight from this one. Arbitrary grading. Claims to have lots of office hours but is rarely there.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Homework and exams are not too difficult if you pay attention in class. Engel is extremely helpful if you ask question even after his office hours.
