Challenging topic that he made easy to understand. Economics is not exciting, but he kept me fairly interesting. Never had a teacher play music for us and use so many current news articles to explain things. Great teacher.
just I say perfect teacher
Makes economics make sense!!
good instructor. If you follow along and keep up with the material the class is easy to pass with a high grade. The reviews always help with the tests and material is taught well.
Nice overall teacher. Made class not so boring after all.
He is actually interested in the topics he teaches, and that makes for a better class. Students can tell that he wants us to actually get the information rather than just be able to recite it on a test. Very easy tests, no homework, great lectures.
overall the class was great. it was not boring the way it was taught. How you taught it kept the topics we discussed, interesting.
Really invested in the success of his students. Willing to help and further explain topics to help student understand.
Very helpful in aiding students to understand challenging topics
Great teacher!! Highly recommend to to take his course if your take economics!
Highly recommend by me by far one of the best teachers I have had. Make it easy to understand.
I recommend taking this teachers Econ classes!
made economics easy to understand and fun to engage in. stays up to date on current news and has no problem further explaining things before moving on. I highly recommend this teacher!
He knows what he's talking about and is confident that his students all pass.
Very good teacher. Goes over every topic in detail and answers all questions thoroughly!
Do recommend taking this teacher if you take an Econ class.
Three things to do on your part and you'll be fine. Show up to class, be engaged, ask questions. Adam Wickersham is a great macroeconomics teacher, highly suggested. His lecture style is straightforward, engaging and relative to current events and interests. It's a relaxed setting as well and homework was not a priority. Rent your book online.
He's one of the best professors I've had at the Milwaukee Area Technical College. The class Macro Economics that he taught is not that easy but the way he teached it made it much easier for me to understand. He's cool too!
Awesome teacher with great teaching skills. If you pay attention and ask questions, you'll pass with an A for sure!
This was and awesome class I loved coming here. Learned so much from Adam so thanks. Don't change a thing.
Awesome teacher! Not an easy subjecT, but with all the help and clarity that Adam offered, you will do fine. Love the fact that he will constantly talk about a subject until everyone understood.
Very cool teacher who obviously loves teaching what he teaches and actually knows what's he's doing.
Adam knows how to teach and get into detail about what he's talking about. He for sure knows what he's saying and helps students out whenever they need help. Two thumbs up!!
He is very good at explaining the topics that we covered this semester. He is also a very helpful teacher.
Good professor, extremely helpful.
Great class and great teacher! No regret picking this teacher.
One of the best teachers I've had at matc.
The class is hard but with Adam as a teacher, a student will for sure get the material.
This teacher really knows his stuff! Amazing.
Adam Wickersham made this class very interesting. I can say I did learn a lot in this course.
for a class that's not so interesting He keeps things interesting. Love the enthusiasm. I would of liked to have more opportunities to increase my grade. I think a few quizzes in between exams isn't a bad idea.
I would not take any economic courses with out this teacher:) I ? him. He was very helpful, caring, intelligent, out-going, and very comical. He put things in a perspective that really made a diffrence In trying to understand the material. He has a great teaching technique. I was very pleased and really enjoyed the class. He made ecnomics fun
Econ is boaring subject. Adam made Econ a facinating subject to study/follow. He taught economics in layman's terms. We discussed current events that pertain to key terms in class. This helped in understanding the topics. One of the best teachers I have ever had. Turned a boaring class, into one I looked forward to. I highly recommend him.
Mr. Wickersham is among the ranks of my favorite instructors at MATC. He is easy going, funny, kind, informed, and most importantly, patient when one does not understand. He truly works with students to put Econ in context that one can easily understand. I definitely recommend him.
Best teacher I have ever had! For such a boring subject, he makes the class fun and likes to pick on people. You do have to really work and earn the grade you get, but he makes it easy to understand. He taught us about current events, investing and others ways we can put economics to use in our personal lives.
I have taken Macroeconomics before and hated it, It showed in my grades. Professor Wickersham made the subject very understandable by also using everyday world terminology/situations.
Instructor explain material easy and simple in a way that me being in a different field I was able to understand.
Outstanding professor, makes this course interesting and fun. Very knowledgeable and has the ability to explain material in very simple English.
At the beginning of class, he spelled out what was expected of students & created a clear path to success. I appreciate his focus on applying knowledge to the real world vs. teaching toward the test. The lectures/reviews in class are helpful in learning the material. As a summer course it was long- might be nice to break up class with group work
Awesome teacher. Made history interesting since most events are economic related.
Organized, shows up for class on time, full of fun facts.
Class is pretty easy as long as you make note of all the important topics, mainly the words he puts up at the start of the class. Explains things very clearly. Also makes many historical references which make the class as a whole more interesting. Overall, great prof. Highly recommended.
It was a very interesting and straight forward class. If you paid attention and focused on what the teacher was saying, then you would do pretty good. The class is pretty straight forwrad
I liked this class. It is a straight forward class and he makes it interesting. I would recommend him as a teacher and for the understanding of macroeconomics.
The thought of taking Macro Economics bored my to death. Mr. Wickersham made it easy to understand and WANT to learn. He kept us motivated and interested. I now understand Macro Economics a lot more. Penelope
Mr. Wickersham made this class very interesting and straight forward. You are able to become more interested in economy when the instructor is able to show their passion for what they teach.
Awesome professor! come to class and do the homework; no way you'll fail.
Good way of teaching. Great communication and knows how to get you involved.
I love this Econ class! I love that we review everything thoroughly and the professor takes his time to answer all questions.
i had to search for you. i took 2 econ classes and i dropped out from them and then there you were... Many Thanks we need more teachers like you!!!
Great teacher a must have for evom
It's nice how the professor can simplify the class material and make it really easy to learn and retain the info.
Very good in explaining lectures.
Great teacher. I took microeconomics and hated that class however you helped me understand economics better and I really enjoyed your class.
Mr Wickersham is flat out awesome. Takes what would be a relatively dull subject and makes it interesting and lectures easy to listen and participate in. Would HIGHLY recommend taking Mr W. PS - GO BUCKS
I'd recommend this instructor.
I learned a lot. I loved his teaching style
I really enjoyed taking this class. The Instructor was very clear with his expectations for this class. Although this class was 3 hours long the instructor made it a fun & informative learning experience. I also liked that he kept our grades up to date & we knew what our grade was at all times. I highly recommend his class.
Makes a dry topic understandable by making it relatable. Tests are as expected. Unique homework style that makes you learn without being overwhelming
He wants to see his students fully understand the information at hand. Does not rush through info and is willing to help students with any necessary help.
He's funny which really helps you stay engaged. He also makes sure to run through everything and explain it in depth with little stories to help you remember everything. Powerpoints can get a bit long and drawn out some days, though.
He is a greatest econ teacher that I've ever had. He always makes sure that you can understand the lectures by giving you a lot of useful examples in daily life. If you want to learn some things in economics, I strongly recommend to take his class.
He is a great teacher as long as you come to class to hear the lecture, you wont "have" to read the book to understand things. He explains things very in depth and puts on funny youtube videos of the subject so he makes sure we understand. He never wants you to fail a test, he gives us chances if you try.
Makes economics very easy to understand and applicable to life. You will learn a lot of interesting things. He really takes time to review and answer questions to make sure you understand the terms and concepts. Great instructor! Pay attention to the terms he writes on the board. The practice quizzes will be similar to the exam questions.
Good teach. Makes classes fun and interesting
Does not need to change any aspect of the teaching style. The humor and the way everything gets explained, makes this class my favorite in a long time.
Great teacher.... Knows exactly what he teaches... Would also be a great history teacher!
Mr. Wickersham is a wonderful professor. I only had him one night a week. All you have to do is show up to class to learn the material and you will pass.
Just show up to class easy A.:)
Easy and fun class. He is a great professor. Don't need to buy the book to do well, simply show up for class
Homework could be even harder. Not much work for a college class. Professor related all the topics to everyday topics to make them easier to understand
This is a great teacher who is very interesting and knowledgeable in Economics. Lectures were well planned, easy to understand, and insightful. He ensured that anyone who came to class would be able to understand the content and was available to answer questions if needed. His teaching style is thorough. I really enjoyed this helpful class.
The in-class lectures were tolerable. He did a good job of incorporating real life applications to what we were discussing from the text. Besides tests, the only other thing he has you do is submit weekly news articles. Also, he gives you the option to get some points back on each test you take, so he is a very fair teacher.
Great teacher. Very specific to what it will take to pass the class. Not mandatory to show up for lecture but it definitely does help.
This professor is awesome. Helped me understand everything.
Takes a tough lesson and gives everyday examples and explanations that even an 8th grader could understand. Excellent teacher that understands how to work with students
Great instructor
I also took ECON-201 at MATC and did very well (A-grade) but didn't fully grasp the main ECON topics until I took Prof. Wickersham's class. His lectures were clear and concise with lots of real-world examples but the tests were challenging. I would definitely take another course taught by Prof. Wickersham.
Adam Wickersham is an amazing professor! His lectures were very interesting and I really appreciated the humor that he added. He is willing to go above and beyond to make sure that his students are completely understanding the material. I would absolutely take a class of his again in the future!
He is one of the first Economics professors I can actually have respect for. He is unbiased presents both sides. Politics are put aside in the class and he explains everything. Funny and lectures are not boring, you will leave his class with information learned and wanting more. I plan on going into economics because of him.
He was challenging, but clear and straightforward. I recommend this professor.
Simplified everything for me. I'm in the nursing program and science is more of my specialty, I thought econ was way harder than it actually was in this class. Pay attention, take notes, and you should definitely pass. He always does a review which helped me a ton, because I'm kind of the last minute cram type of girl.
This teacher gives a good idea and generates the class work with real life matter. This really helped me understand the material really well
Awesome, funny professor that gives clear instructions. I would take him again. Take this class.
Curriculum is clear easy and self paced. Would definitely take his class again!!!!!
I would highly recommend this professor.
Took his summer class offered by the school, he is very clear and straight to the point. He also is very good at explaining things simply. Offers extra credit, is patient when students do not understand, and makes the material very interesting by relating the material to everyday life. Appears indifferent on issues and likes discussion.
Definitely a must take professor! Wickersham helps make learning econ enjoyable and easy. He is super engaging with the whole class and is completely willing to keep reviewing the material until the whole class understands. Best part is he doesn't get bogged down with nitty gritty details because he want the class to understand the fundamentals.
In depth lectures, breaks down topics well for clarification, really enjoys graphs
Adam ,He will not waist your time. Straight forward and makes sure you understand what he teaches. He makes you work for a good grade but he is always available for questions and concerns. He presents the class material with a Power Point which means you will get the meat of the tests every class. Make sure you dont moss class it will affect you
He's one of those rear teacher that has a gift to make a class that you normally dislike and make it enjoyable. This seems to be a rear gift.
Fantastic instructor! I was not looking forward to an economics class, but it was actually one of my favorites. Go to every class, you will benefit a ton. Attendance isnt mandatory though. He tells you exactly what you need to study for exams. DO NOT purchase book! Makes learning econ fun and interesting. Highly recommend him!
Very engaging and always has time for questions and help. Uses real world examples in way in which it really engages you as a student. Really enjoyed this professor and class.
Adam Wickersham does an amazing job at getting Macroeconomics across to students. He is very straight forward with homework assignments and grading. His exams are highly based on lecture and terms covered in class. SOOooo, show up for his class! He lets you decide on your opportunity cost of taking the course. Good Luck!
Gives thorough reviews before exams
kept the class relevant to the subject he was teaching and the times that were going on. sometimes forgets to update the Fed Chair.
Hes the best Econ professor Ive ever had and Ive taken Econ and more prestigious schools.
A very nice class!
Mr. Wickersham is a very good professor. He has a lot of respect for his students and loves to cracks jokes. I would not mind having him again.
Adam is a great professor. He is super knowledgeable and teaches the concepts as opposed to focusing on math. He provides a lot of good examples and encourages participation. I can say that even after this class I will be able to apply what I learned to my everyday life. Although attendance is not mandatory to pass you will need to attend lectures.
He is a fun guy to listen to because he knows his stuff and he's funny. He's a good teacher because he is patient with students and is always willing to stop in the middle of class if someone doesn't understand the material.
Professor Wickersham is hilarious for starters which is great because I attend it way past my bedtime, but you can tell he knows what hes talking about and takes pride in what hes teaching. He gives real world examples and will cover a topic as many times as needed for his students to understand before moving on to the next one. Take his class.
Very easy class to pass. Show up listen take notes he makes the material easy to understand.
Adam Wickersham definitely knows what he teaches, Micro and Macro Economics.
Class wasnt mandatory but if you dont go youll miss a lot of extra credit opportunities or hints about the exams. Good PowerPoint lectures as well.
Good lectures doesn't make the class boring , Sometimes the wording of his test question can get if if, but over all good class
Although you don't have to show up every class. It is good to do so because he will give answers to the tests throughout the class. Mr. Wichersham makes learning Macroeconomics very interesting and fun.
Very interactive lectures uses real life scenarios that makes class interesting. Works with students to help to understand concepts.
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.
Very goood teaching. I leaned so much about economics.
First time I actually understood - and enjoyed - economics. He not only explained the concepts in a way that was easy to grasp; he also showed us how these topics are relevant in current events and taught us how to think and interpret economic situations for ourselves. So glad I took this class.
He is a great teacher. Wants you to succeed. Good looking too
great teacher, class is very entertaining and informative. he has a really good way of explaining concepts in everyday terms to help you understand it and he wont move on until the entire class is on the same page.
Mr. Adam Wickersham has a way of communicating the concepts and mechanics of Macroeconomics in detailed yet succinct manner. He is always willing to try answering questions in as many different ways as it takes for every student to understand each concept demonstrated, granted they ask.
No book, but you have to go to lectures. He's a good lecturer though and makes the material interesting and understandable.
I really enjoyed learning with him
A. Wickersham is the most fascinating, intellectual instructor you will find at a collegiate level. He has an exceptional ability to teach complex economic material in fun, practical manner. He has a genuine commitment to students who are interested in maximizing their understanding of economics in domestic and foreign markets. Well done sir!
Attendance is not mandatory , but in order to be successful in your class and understand the material I would suggest to not skip the lectures . Also, great explanation of the material and preps for the exams. Thank you !
He doesn't make this class difficult at all, he just wants you to understand it.
He doesn't make this class difficult at all, he just wants you to understand it. He also doesn't grade heavy.
If you show up to class pay attention to the lectures you will pass this class. Professor has great personality which makes the lectures a bit more interesting.
Class was great I loved that you did group testing it helped out great minds together. I liked that you made real world examples for the terms you were doing.
Awesome class, fun to be in! Only person who can really keep a class going for 4 hours straight and keep things interesting!
This is a great class. The lectures were funny, very informative, and he makes the time go by incredibly fast. The class is something I look forward to weekly. This guy knows economics and makes it easy for you to understand by using real life examples.
Didn't know how entertaining Economics could be! I'd say after 2 semesters of college he has been my favorite professor by far!
Awesome professor! His lectures were easy to understand as well as entertaining. He made me feel welcomed, even after starting the class 1 week late! He rocks! I would totally suggest taking his course to Understand and Pass Econ!
I really enjoy having this teacher and truly make Economics lesson fun. He definitely get your attention to take interest. I wishing he teach more classes at this college. I like the fact he does not make it the class boring. Its cool to know and truly understand how the economics work.
By far the best economics teacher I've had. I enjoyed how he kept us involved in our learning. To me this made the material way easier to understand. This is not a class to take if you are looking for LONG BORING lectures.
Loved having him as a teacher! A lot of information but its worth your time/credit. Not needing a book was a PLUS! Hes so caring and really want you to understand and succeed. Thank you Prof Wickersham!
His class is a more of a show up and participate, and do your homework you'll pretty much pass. He also has very interesting conversations in class.
Prof. Adam is indeed a born teacher. He makes the class so lively and interesting. I said that his class based on show up and pass. What I mean here is that when students leave everything and come to class, it means they want to pass. I said he uses the textbook because his PowerPoint slides are from the textbook. Excellent teacher!! Great job!!!
Adman was a great instructor, really challenges you to make sure you understand what he is teaching, very clear with his instructions. Connects each lesson with real-life situations. Lectures are interesting. I promise you will not be bored. He Teaches you what you really need to know. I really recommend him for Econ.
"Professor Wickersham is a great instructor. He can make complex topics easy to understand." Overall, he did a great job and he was very helpful provided detailed graph examples in every section of the book. I'd take his class again!
Loved having him as a teacher! He make the class easy to understand.
It was a pleasure you did a great job!
Awesome
Loved his class
Adam is hands down one of the best instructors I have ever had for a college class. He is extremely knowledgeable in everything he talks about, and makes lectures easy and fun. Assigns weekly homework assignments that helps tie the lecture together. He gets straight to the point and tells it how it is. Thank you Adam for everything you do!
I expected to really not enjoy an Economics class, however Prof Wickersham made the subject material relatable through discussing real-world scenarios. I found the class interesting and also find myself thinking about things we've learned while out in the wild. He wants you to do well but you do need to put in the work and show up in order to do so
This was for sure one of my best classes ever. I dont really think at first that I would enjoy this class, because is true that economic its boring. However this instructor made this course interesting !!I would take this class again if I could. And every instructor in that MATC should be like him. Please take notes how to be a great teacher
Appreciated the real life examples and time he took to make sure we understood, very personable and easy to talk to.
really good professor.
He's honestly so funny and is straight forward about what he wants to accomplish in this class from the start. He wanted us to learn from the things he teaches us in class and he also wanted us to understand the them too. I really love the way he teaches because, he always goes out of his way to make sure everyone is on the same page as him.
Honest and funny man. Very hands on and hes proud of his work. He is willing to work with you as long as you show interest in the course. Definitely suggest him as a teacher!
Professor Adam is a really caring person, he cares enough to make you understand the lectures, if you have questions he will answer them the best of his ability. He will make the class fun, use examples for you to understand. I would definitely take a class of his again in the future.
He a good teacher. His lectures are easy to understand.
He's very passionate about the topic which makes you want to learn. Don't forget to study for the exams though, the homework is less structured for the exams, so it can be a bit challenging if you don't know how to study for his class in particular.
I really enjoyed taking this class and felt that Professor Adam was very informative and gave information in a way that was easy to relate and apply to real life situations. I plan on taking another course with this instructor!
very flexible structure had a very good sense of humor.
he was a great teacher and made my first semester a lot less stressful and i learned a lot from him about economics. he also had a very good knowledge of the topics and applied them to the real worls
Adam Wickersham is definitely one of the best professors I've had yet! He makes Economics easier to understand by the way he tells stories and relates it to our lives. He has a great teaching style and I would recommend taking one of his classes. .
A very straightforward teacher who went over exams and always had a good understanding of what they were gonna be. Pretty easy
Great Professor if you have to take Econ you would be crazy not to take it with Adam !!!!! Best professor at MATC I've met thus far.
Great teacher! Fun lectures and makes econ easy to understand w/a fun style.
The teacher really wants and cares that you retain the information. That is important.
A good professor. tests can be hard, although weekly homework is fairly easy. He makes class interesting to attend and helps explain concepts
Very Fair, and sympathetic to a students daily life.
Excellent professor, won't leave you hanging with unanswered questions. Great storyteller and very intriguing. 10/10 would take this class again.
The best teacher I've ever had.
Great Professor !
I learned a lot in this class. I enjoyed the teached and his teaching style. I would take him again if I could. I learned a lot from this professor, I wish more teachers were like him.
He is a great professor! He makes Economics understandable. He takes the time to make sure his class gets the materials. Amazing class!
You was an amazing teacher
Very fair professor
Very insightful
Adam was very informative, he made things very easy to understand material, gave very good examples on chapter topics. I will be able to use the things he taught in the outside world.
he made economics easier and enjoyable to learn, and not as scary as it seemed at first. he made me want to come to class, and explained things in ways we could understand. he was super cool and funny, and very smart. the homework was easy to do and the exams were easy to do (if you actually studied). i wish he taught more classes!
Tough Exams. Great Lectures and he helps you understand. Have to attend class though.
Helps you understand Econ.
He was my favorite out of the 3 economic teacher i had
Ensures class participation
Great lectures on understanding Econ
Fantastic Teacher. Really enjoyed having him. 100% would take another one of his classes!
Fantastic Teacher. Really enjoyed having him. Definitely knows his stuff. 100% would take another one of his classes!
He is overall a great person. His lectures are not boring AT ALL he's always keeping it interesting. He's a really cool and understanding guy I enjoy coming to class.
You will NOT be disappointed! Adds his own twist to teaching which leads to a fun atmosphere in the classroom. I wanted to attend his class every single week! I will forever look back with appreciation!
Really explains class in day to day matter
Such a great professor!!! He actually makes class enjoyable and the material that he teaches is easy to understand as long as you 1)ask questions 2)participate 3)pay attention. Seriously, there should be no reason that a student fails his MicroEconomic class. I enjoyed his class so much that I signed up to take MacoEconomics with him.
Thanks you for everything Mr. Adam i really appreciate you taking your time to each us everything about Principles of economics. Thanks again and i will love to take up one of your classes again.
Smart instruct
Professor Wickersham is very organized and clear with his blackboard. I've taken the class before with another professor and it was awful so going into this class I was a bit worried, but his virtual Microecon class is actually pleasant. Definitely recommend this teacher!
Willing to help his students with anything. He cares about the grades his students get. Very patient and willing to help others succeed in his class. If you stay on your game with assignments and tests there will be nothing to worry about.
his lectures were actually interesting and he is the only teacher I had this semester that I liked. very funny and nice. if you show up and pay attention you'll get a good grade. I learned a lot and it wasn't even miserable lol. 10/10 would recommend
He was a great professor. Mr. Wicksham made sure you understood the topics we were learning about. He put in a great effort and made the class fun to be in.
