This class is a breeze, if you have to take RE 306 it should be with him. The exams are straightforward and not worth much of your grade and the papers are super easy and opinion based. Attendance is mandatory but lectures are entertaining.

This was probably my favorite class that I took my freshman year. David is an extremely good lecturer, and his slides are easy to follow and intuitive. Would highly recommend

Great teacher -- interested in RE you must take his class. Currently working in the field and has alot of valuable insight he provides. Cannot ask for a better intro teacher and he puts out his expectations very clear and easy to reach. Assignments are graded more on effort and that aslong as you try you cannot get below an A in the course.

Professor Gevers was amazing. He is a VP at a real estate development firm which made his lectures very insightful and interesting. The grade you receive is based on a few very short papers and two exams. The exams were extremely easy, and the papers didn't require much more than an hour to get a 100% on. I highly recommend his class.
