Learned more about econ from Engel than I did my first two years here

Nice guy, funny jokes, knows what he is talking about

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.

lectures are not boring at all If you are interested in that field. Respectful Professor. Really smart.

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.

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.

avoid avoid avoid. He is the worst.

If you are taking a class with Engel, you are making a horrible, horrible mistake.

Very Easy Professor, teaches a lot from the CIA world factbook. TAs and Engel go back and forth creating the ps, discussion is more helpful than class. Buy textbook, or share with someone - need it for the random q's on ps from there

Engel makes macro theory easy to understand. His lectures, although boring (let's be honest though - it's econ), can sometimes be rather engaging. Very knowledgable guy. His off-beat sense of humor is pretty funny too.

Very boring lecture style, but he gets into it. Tests and homework are easy. He's very helpful if you ask him a question.
