Overall good class experience. His lectures can get off topic and sometimes become a little long, but in the long run, he is there to make sure you know everything you can.

No Book. No HW. Just him lecturing with about 200 slides. Classes are interesting and boring not mandatory. He tells you exact problems on the test "Probability 1". Gives a study guide that if you study easy A on exams. I had him for two classes got an AB on both because everyone does well.

Maybe the easiest class I've taken on campus. Got near 100%. Very smart man, knows a lot about many things. More about teaching you how to learn than teaching you about urban and regional economics. Class can either be very interesting because of his character or very boring depending on his mood.

Very large scope. Not terribly relevant to most Real Estate careers. If you're interested in macroecon or public policy, you'll enjoy it. If not, you'll tolerate it. Tests and quizzes are ok; 1st quiz and midterm are definitely easier than the 2nd quiz and final.

His class is not very engaging and sometimes just feels like an econ 101 review. I wish we would have gotten to learn about more interesting material. Avoid class, just study the powerpoints and you're fine.
