    "comment": "He's a very nice professor and cares a lot about the material, but his lectures tend to drag on and he rambles a bit making class a bit boring. There are very few assignments put in and only two exams which are not very challenging. It's his first time teaching this class so he may improve if he teaches it again",

    "comment": "I really enjoyed learning from Professor Coxhead.  Came into this class with limited interest in the subject area, but his passion for the subject soon rubs off on you.  Lots of reading, but not an overly difficult class.  More theoreticalhistorical than most economics classes, something that was a nice change.  I definitely recommend him.",
