This class was a lot of review for me but I really enjoyed it! Professor Corbett is so passionate and nice and it really shows. He makes such an effort to make sure you understand the material. He is intellegent and has a lot of experience. Quizzes similar to hw and ta session.

This was my favorite class at Wisconsin. I haven't had economics before and it was amazing! I'm recommending this to all of my friends. Go to his office hours and ask questions, he's very kind and helpful.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. WORST CLASS OF MY COLLEGE CAREER. He explained everything as if we had his same expert background as him. Did not teach, then gave very difficult exams that did not reflect what was attempted to be taught.

I loved him. The material for the course was extremely interesting and applicable. The class is graded almost entirely off exams, but they are extremely straightforward if you complete the discussion work, the review, and read over the slides. There are also weekly canvas quizzes that are pretty easy as well. I would recommend this class with him!
