His lectures are PAINFULLY dry and boring but the class is ridiculously easy. Sitting through lectures is actually painful though because he is so boring and unclear and unorganized.Rate My Professors ↗

Good professor. Lectured on relevant material and was clear on what would be on exams. Lecture slides were posted online so I missed several lectures, but going is helpful if you struggle with the content which can be a little tricky. Overall, great Econ class especially for Advanced creditRate My Professors ↗

The lectures are just reading from the slides prepared from the textbook. I didn't read the book because he covered the same stuff in lecture. He was very clear about what to know in order to do the homework assignments and what to know for exams. Class was six homework assignments, two midterms, and a final. Overall the material is very relevant.Rate My Professors ↗

I had a lot of trouble listening to this professor, he was very intelligent but dwelled on topics making them more difficult then necessary, the material in this course is very useful, highly recommend the course.Rate My Professors ↗

You need to go to class to see the examples, they are not included in the textbook. TA is super helpful, 100% recommend going to section. Material and tests can be tough but the curve is really nice.Rate My Professors ↗
