Makes the class understandable, will take the time to explain things to students who have questions. Isnt too harsh on grading. Show up for class and you can pretty much expect to pass, if you put in some studying and do the homework, which homework is not heavy at all and very realistic for a busy student. would recommend him for future students.

I took Econ 202 instead of a math class. Best choice I could have made. He is a fantastic teacher, who literally translates Macro-Economics and makes it understandable and interesting. I would go to class, he goes over a lot every time, but he doesn't hound you about it. He also loves if your opinionated and sassy, it's his favorite. He is great.
