If you engage with the professor, you'll find that he is very willing to explain things to you.

Honestly, 350 wasn't too bad, but I would definitely recommend taking econ 101 (micro) beforehand for sure. The midterms were a lot of writing and sometimes unclear, but Junda was happy to clarify if anyone had questions. He was also accessible outside class and engaging in lecture-- smart guy, but you need to read AND go to lecture to do well.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
He has a passion for Econ, but lectures are incredibly hard to follow and exams are ridiculously long and scrutinized. Clearly smart in his subject but I would wait a few years at least before taking another class of his. Teaching is not an inherit skill for everyone.

Not a bad guy, the lectures are just incredibly boring. Each exam is an 8 page paper, so get ready to write.
