This class has potential, and the prof. clearly cares about the material. But a lot of info was outdated (created a lot of confusion on exams) and the lectures were unbearable.",

    "comment": "Dr. Chavas was a good lecturer, but you just need to copy the slides from the power points to succeed. On exams he emphasizes graph/table information. Lecture essays were easy but most of the grade was dependent on exam grades. Discussions were pointless. Exams averaged about 90%. Top hats are also graded but just for participation.",

The class is managed well, and there are several participation essays which help pad your grade. The midterms and exams were well written, but beware multiple choice questions.",
