cool guy, kept the class very interesting, but the exams were pretty rough

Great Professor, very passionate about what he teaches and expects the students to be well prepared in class. Don't take him if u want an easy class, take him if u want an informative and interesting one. Great sense of humor too!

A man who knows his stuff, and loves teaching. Take this course if you really want to understand and utilize ecnomics. Hard work does pay off.

this guy is funny as hell! He really is a great teacher and he cares about his students. It is essential to come to class prepared and to do the practice problems. The tests aren't easy however, he seems to be fair with grading. we'll see...

Economics is not an easy subjet to play with,if you don't study and expect to do well you fooling yourself. Baytas tries to make it fair,give him a chance by keeping your end of the deal, which is STUDYING.Don't expect easy grades.Overall he's good, fair.

very funny guy, some days he sent us home after agreeing no one weanted to be there, especialy him.very easy going, recites all his lectures from memmory. you need both the notes and the book to do well. still a hard class but no problem besides that.

This is the best Professor I have ever had !!!if you really want to stay in the Business School, don't think it will get easier. This Professor will teach you the basics that will save you later!!! He is very helpful and a fair grader. If you are a smart person, you won't have to work hard at all !

The smartest professor Ive ever had. Told the class at the beginning to prepare by reading before class. People complain but half havent bought the book. Go to his office hours he will assist you on any topic. Extremely hard class unless you prepare and dont miss any classes.

Baytas was a friggin' awesome guy. He has a bit of an accent but it's nothing terrible...also has a great sense of humor. I never read a damn thing, just made sure i went to every class and took good notes; tests are straight out of the notes. If you want an easy class, take him.

I took his class over the summer. If you can't get at least a B in his class you don't deserve to be in college. He is a fair teacher and his lectures are quite clear. Funny too.

This professor was very knowledgable and helpful. He is fun and def knows his stuff, a little bit of an accent, but nothing terrible. All i did was pay attention and take notes in class, and read the end of chapters summary and i got a B+. He is a fair grader and all u really need to do is show up

The best Economics professor at MSU. A true scholar and an incredibly helpful individual. The class is challenging but if you read the book, took detailed notes before class (and during) you will do fine.

I really liked Dr. Baytas. His class is no joke; you have to study hard for this class. He is an interesting man, who tells stories in class but doesn't get carried away with it (like some). He will give you an opportunity to improve your grade with an extremely generous curve, but a lot of students don't take advantage (like me). Take him. He's OK

Class may seem very hard at first but he gives huge curves on the exams and gives you many chances to improve your grades. There are 3 exams and 1 paper. If you actually pay attention and do a little studying, an A is no problem in his class.

nice guy.. means well but neveer went to class because he broed me so much..got a b though i never want. just read book and you'll be fine. use your common sense. i could have goten an a if i had gone to class probably

Finally, a decent teacher, in this poor excuse for an university. One of the reasons, I’m not going drop econ as a major. Some times off topic, but inspirational. The dude doesn’t have birthday, leave em alone. He’s clear, but I think his lectures are oriented toward pure econ mind. The outlines you can substitute for toilet paper when run you out.

this guy is really hard and so are his tests, but he puts that into consideration and puts a huge curve on his grades. you will learn a lot about economics, though his lectures are really long and boring

this is guy is something that i don't know what. If u like economic take him, if u don't then don't take him. Honestly i didn't get good grades but i still love this guy because he teaches for a reason and besides he is nice and very intelligent

The class is not very easy but the prof. was a lot of fun and cares that you learn the material. Do your part in this class and you will do well.

No Comments

hes a good professor, the material itself is somewhat difficult and everyone usually doesnt do too well on the exams but the class itself is interesting and challenging. does anyone else keep falling asleep in his class? his voice is so soft and the class is warm haha idk maybe thats just me but def take this class for economics he makes it fun.pz

fuuniest guy, somewhat diffucult class. Not his fault though its the material. HE explains well, and is very clear, But the work still hard. He tries to make the test as easy as possible and he curves huge. Ex. he gave our class before we took the test a 25 point curve if we got over a 75, 20 if we got over a 65...no attendance policy. FUNNY GUY.

The class is not that hard! He is very interesting and willing to help. He curves alot! His curves helps too. He gives eveyone one a chance to pass.

he was good

Great professor. He takes some getting use to, but give him a chance. He has a way of making the material sink in. Very knowledgeable man. Take him if you want to learn! It is a hard class and his tests are very hard and very tricky. You need to know the material, but can do well if you apply yourself. All in all, a good experience!

He's a great teacher; however tests are difficult... I think anyone really interested in econ should take this prof. b/c he really cares about students learning and understanding... be prepare to study really really hard!

Awesome professor! Kept interest and made economics as interesting as it can possibly get. Looks at you as people, not students. Need to come to class and take notes to study for his tests, even though attendance isnt mandatory. If you show up and study his tests arent bad and he curves ALOT! I would definitely reccommend him and I learned a lot

If you want just pass it without hard working - don't take this class because it not easy at all. However, if you want to understand material - this is the best way to do so. This professor is an exelent. He explain every single step. You will spent at the class exacly the time what it should be, no 1 min less.

He is the best professor!!If your really like Economics and you want to learn something just take him, he is the best!!

Great teacher, explains really well and he is kind of funny. Impossible not to learn. Attendance is not mandatory, but you have to go to class, and you have to study and go through the hand outs he gives. Tests are not easy but he curves A LOT! If you are not lazy, take him.

Took him for a three week summer course in Micro. We went through 8 chapters in 10 days, but he explained everything in simple terms. His tests are hard, but if you study you'll get a good grade.

This is a great professor. He really cares about his students and wants you to do well. If you have to take macro economics, take him! He gives major curves on all exams. Test are hard but if you do the work you will do fine.

This professor is actually a good professor to start with. (IT WAS MY FIRST SEMESTER) He has an accent but he is completely understandable. i recommend him. he's funny also A

Professor Baytas is a great professor. Take his class. He's great at teaching, is very funny, and genuinely cares about his student's academic performance.

nice guy but a very hard class. attendance is not madatory but you have to come if you want good grade. three exams including the final.

Great professor. Sometimes lectures can be hard to follow.. Tests are challenging, but you learn the material. Very genuine, kind person. Also he was very very funny a little quirky and even told a Steven Wright joke!!

Great professor but very difficult class if you don't want to study or go to class. Read the text, take good notes, and pay attention to his explanations and you will do fine.

professor baytas is great professor, hard class and he makes a lot of jokes....you need to read and study to do well.. attendance is not mandatory but if you want to pass then you should go to class... its not an easy A but i recommend him if you want actually want to learn!

I like this guy:) makes u think he doesn't care but he does. Very good teacher, knows his stuff=learning something. It is a difficult class and u need! to study in order to do well. 3 tests MCQ, no homework, no papers. I highly recommend the class and the teacher.

Great teaching style, excellent professor! Not an easy class, need to study, but very fair. Three exams no project. I recommend this professor if you want to learn and come away with a clear understanding of the material. Plus he's funny, so he makes the class interesting.

He is a great teacher! Economics isn't fun, but he teaches it well! His exams are tough, but if you study, do hw and pay attention to him in class you'll do fine! If you get to know him he's a really cool guy, too.

he's so cute!! exams are tough though but you'll enjoy class huge curver huge curver i love him i really do i think he's so cute and such a father figure

VERY GOOD PROF! probably the best professor ive taken here at MSU. VERY TOUGH! if you dont like to study, dont do it. However, you will definitely learn the material in the class. study his notes and you will be fine. he very smart, funny, and makes the learning experience fun. Take him if you really want to learn something. =D

funny guy.love his teaching style. Really knows his material.If u want to learn take him! this is a hard class and u need to study if u want to do well. His notes are VERY HELPFUL so take good notes! 2exams &1 paper. Curves his tests but dont count on it to help u pass the class-work hard.I agree with the comment 2 below mine he's such a cute man!

He's sooo cute! Loved him. good prof, but you have to study and take good notes. Very helpful.

Omg he is the cutest man ever. I love him so much. Such a good teacher. Just study a lot before the tests. He's so funny and makes class fun.

If you want to take Macro Econ this is the teacher you should take. What he says during class are the answers to the test so take notes on it and then study that!! there is no reason to buy the book at ALL because he knows all of the material and goes over it so you will understand. He also gives immense curves on everything. Easy and fun A

Definitely knows what he is talking about but very hard. He is really nice and funny but sometimes is hard to understand. As long as you attend class and read the book it can be easy. His exams are pretty hard and the paper is easy.

He is quite the character. Does give clear and a lot of examples. Test are extreamly hard but just make sure you study. there is a curve. only one paper and text book. I recommend you take him and make sure you go to class he says a lot don't miss it.

One of the best professor I've ever had. Very interesting, makes learning fun. His tests are easy if you're not retarded. No homework is given but reading the book can help you understand the material.

Dr. Baytas is a great teacher. If you are lazy i wouldnt take him. Expects students to study and do work on own time. No homework, just read. Tests arnt bad, just do a lot of review problems. Overall classes were fun, and teacher was funny. Its a fairly easy topic if you put in the effort. I would rec. someone to take this class

The professor makes the class fun,explains material in simple terms and expects his students to study.He doesn't babysit anyone, and doesn't monitor anyone's learning progress.He assumes that his students are able to recognize themselves when to ask for help.If you are not used to studying without supervision-don't bother signing up for the class.

Do exactly what he says. Read the book and you'll get an A.

Great Professor. He explains all the concepts really well, in a clear and entertaining manner. (so funny!) 2 tests and a final. Attendance is not mandatory. Too bad he doesn't teach Econ102. One of the best prof at MSU.

Prof Baytos is such a funny and unique professor. He is always willing to help students after class, and makes learning the boring subject of macro, in my opinion, really quite interesting. I learned a lot and enjoyed this class. The tests are not too hard if you study!!!

Professor Eckstein is a funny guy. His class is difficult but any economics class is.He gives 3 tests. If you pay attention in class, read the book, and practice his handouts and practice tests, the exams are manageable. The practice tests really help. Study the book! He is willing to help if you need it.

Great Professor. Describes the material(Economics can be very confusing) in a clear way that you can understand.He gives past exams for you to study. Show up for lectures and study notes and past exams and the tests will be easy.He is always available for extra help and he enjoys talking with students who are serious students.I would def. suggest!!

Professor Baytas is knows a lot about Economics. If you attend class take notes and pay attention you'll do fine. He post study guides and past exams to help you study for exams. Many problems on the exams come straight from the studyguides and past exams so there is no reason you should not pass unless you're too lazy to check blackboard.

Baytas is Awesome! Really chill guy, and its harder to bomb this class than it is to pass, entire grade is 3 exams (which he curves) he gives study guides and chapter reviews. You will have to actually read the chapters, but he spends 2-3 classes on each which gives you plenty of time to get it done.

took this class for 3 week summer course. very clear in explaining ECON and makes the class fun w/ his humor. make sure to study for tests because theyre tricky + be sure to know formulas. overall baytas is the man! take him & take notes!

TAKE HIM!! He doesnt assign any homework, the only grades you get are based on three exams. He doesnt allow any extra credit but he gives detailed study guides and tells you exactly what will be on the tests. He's really cool and will help you with any questions you have. He curves grades too so just study and do okay on tests!

Best Professor I have ever had. The class is not easy however Baytas makes it as easy as possible.

I don't go to this school but I took macro with this dude over summer 2013. The material is difficult, but he is really cool and tries to make it as interesting as possible. I had a really hard time on the tests, but he came over to me and literally gave me some of the answers bc he saw I was struggling. Plus he curves a lot which helped.

by far one of the BEST professor at montclair state university. if you have a chance to take him TAKE HIMM!!!!! YOU wont regret it hes so cool and curves each test !

I think he is one of the most generous and funny professors I have had in a while !!! I had a hard time with Econ. Not really my topic of interest, but I tried my hardest to understand. I struggled at first A LOT. But prof. Baytas offered a lot of extra study time. This improved my grades from being a D student to an A. Btw curves a lot!!!!

Only professor that made economics make sense to me. He's pretty wacky but in a fun, entertaining way. Expects students to work hard and refuses to give extra credit. The only grades are tests and they're tough so study hard! He does give huge curves on all of them though. If you're not lazy and you work hard, you will do well in this class.

Good class and great professor. He has an accent, but you get used to it pretty easily. The class can be tough if you don't attend the class or don't take notes. He is there for you if you need any help and truly cares about his students. One of the best professors, but you have to work for the grade. 3 tests total, attendance not mandatory.

Positive attitude, and encouraging. He has an accent but is very understandable. Come to class and take notes, studying the notes makes the exams much more manageable. I'd definitely suggest taking him if you're not strong in economics. I had difficulty understanding it at first but he made it more manageable.

He is one of the greatest professors which is why I took him for both micro and macro. There are 3 tests and he gives study guides. During class he is very interactive. Gets a little distracted but only when he notices the class getting distracted. Take him!

I don't know what people are complaining about, exams are not difficult at all and on top of that he curves alot so that's a bonus. You should do very well without curve. The course itself contains alot of common sense. He makes it his priority that students understand topic before moving on. Easy A if you put in effort

He's a great teacher! Only grades are the three tests and all of them can be found online. SUPER FUNNY and makes class enjoyable.

This class is somewhat difficult but Professor Baytas makes it as easy as possible. You need to study for exams but he tries to help you as much as he can (curves). Great guy, makes lectures funny.

Professor Baytas was an AMAZING teacher. I took macro with him as a hybrid course in the winter session and it went so smoothly mainly because he cares about his students understanding the material. I would highly recommend taking a course with him. Homework was online quizzes, and there was only a midterm and final. He is very kind, and SO funny.

Prof Baytas was very understanding and very thorough. I took him during the Winter session which was a hybrid course and although he moved relatively quickly through the material, he made sure what we were covering was clear to all the students before proceeding to the next topic. I would definitely take him again.

Professor Baytas made a subject which I had no knowledge of easy to understand. I would highly recommend taking him if you have the opportunity. He breaks all topics down to a basic understandable level and does not stop until everyone in the class gets it. It also helps that he's a funny guy, makes the time pass quicker

Had him for both Micro and Macroeconomics. He is extremely funny while at the same time being extremely tough. You need to use all the resources he gives to get a decent grade on the 2 midterms and final. Pay attention in class and take notes if you wish to pass. If the class does bad overall, he curves everyone's final grade by 2 letter grades.

He's a great guy and professor. There are a lot of quizzes on Canvas, so they're take-home. Only the mid-term and final are in class. He is very knowledgable on the subject and cares for his students, which usually isn't seen in large classes like this (100+)

I have taken this professor twice by choice because he is simply amazing and I am not saying this because he gave me an easy A (because i got a C both times LOL), but I still think he's the best because I actually learned and was able to apply what was being learned. He does give a curve, but don't rely on it.. STUDY!!

Funniest, caring, and intelligent. Very interesting lectures. Hands out extra credit points like candies. Do your homework, read the textbook, and use the resources on the modules. You will do very well. He is the gem in the business department.

This is a tough class, he doesn't take attendance but if you want to pass show up to class. He does have an accent but it's understandable, stop him if you have a question, he will answer it. He does go off track sometimes but he brings it back. There are 8 HW on Canvas and 3 tests. For the test it's online in class on your laptop.

I loved Dr. Baytas! I've never taken an economics course & he made it really easy to understand. 8 homework assignments & 3 exams, which are all online. His class is easy as long as you study and put the time into it. He's hilarious, caring, and wants you to succeed. Go to his office hours and to the GAs for help. I'd highly recommend him!

Great teacher, great guy. Always willing to help and genuinely cares about his students and their grades. Don't be lazy and you'll excel. Technically you do need the book for extra studying, but there are no assignments that require the book.

Took as a hybrid winter class, so I had to get the book. It's good to have to study from. He's a great teacher and decently funny. He really tries to make sure you understand the material and actually cares. There were 8 homeworks but most of the grading came from the midterm and final. There was a curve on both. Would definitely take again.

The class honestly does not take much effort. For the test, all you have to do is pay attention in class and study the homework assignments that he put up.

Overall just a really cool human being. He cares about his students and does his best to help you understand the information because he knows economics is a tough subject. all of the questions on the exams are either from the homework, examples from class, or he literally tells you it will be on the exam. just read the book and review assignments

Great professor

Prof. AB cares a lot about his students, hes more than willing to repeat and go over the material thousand times but wants you to learn and pay more attention. This class is HARD, I mean you gotta work and pay attention to pass the TESTS but the test questions are mostly from HW. Hes funny and makes the class more enjoyable. CURVES FINAL GRADE.

Took him for a hybrid winter course. He is a great guy and truly cares about his students learning, will repeat himself over and over if need be. He is very passionate about economics and it shows in his teaching ability.

The material he teaches is very difficult but he puts it into easy to understand terms. He makes classes fun and entertaining and he has a good sense of humor. You will have to study, and there is some homework, but for an Economics class it was relatively easy and I learned more in his class than most other classes!

3 exams and a homework for each chapter discussed in class. Does not take attendance but I would show up to class. Listen and takes not of lectures and you don't have to read the chapters. Great teacher. He acts crazy in the beginning classes but stick with him and it will be worth it.

Prof. Baytas really knows how to break down micro-economics and give you all the tips and tricks you need to understand the complicated concepts. the three things you need to do to pass this class : 1) pay attention in class and take good notes 2) pay attention to the tips/ tricks and learn how it actually works don't just memorize 3) do good on HW

Professor Bayatas is one of the best Micro teachers at MSU. He cares about his students and will go out of his way to make sure every student is successful. He can go off tangents at times but it helps lighten the class up. Pay attention and ask questions as it will help you out. Gets a 10/10 with a epic sign of approval. Take him for 101 and 102.

Prof. Baytas made Economics more fun than I thought it would ever be. He has an amazing personality, and great sense of humor. He can go on and on sometime but bare with him. He barely utilizes the book because he's been teaching the material for 30 years. It's only 3 exams, so stay focused and pay attention EVERY class. Do not cheat on hw either.

AB is awesome, easily the most enjoyable lecture professor I've ever had, he's hilarious and kind. The course is just super tough. All the homework answers are online, do well on those and decent on the exams and midterms and you'll pass. I would show up to lectures, he's very good at breaking down the info and it helps.

I took Baytas about 30 years ago. Definitely one of the best. If you went to class and listened, it was easy. If you did not, it was at your own peril, because he taught micro significantly better than the textbook. His demeanor was hilarious and he gave me great advice in suggesting I leave the Economics major since I was too smart to teach.

Prof. Baytas is who you want to have for Econ. He has a dope personality and likes to bring joy to the classroom. Make sure to keep up with him because he does move quick in his lectures. The answers to the HW are online, so complete and study it because it will most likely be on his exams. He has 3 exams and 8 HWs which are all multiple choice.

He's a great ECON teacher and shows care for the subject and his students. He lightens up the mood of the class while also being serious when it came to it. Homework is online so it's really easy. If you're taking ECON, Professor Baytas is the one to choose!

Professor Baytas is a great professor. His class is not easy but he breaks it down so everyone could understand. He is very patient and will explain anything that anyone doesnt understand. He does not read off powerpoints but rather he draws everything out and talks about the material. He is a helpful, great professor that truly loves his job!

Good Turkish professor
