Hill was a great Econ professor. For ECN 211, TAKE HIM. All I've heard about the rest of the professors were bad things and even though econ is a difficult class in general, he teaches it very well and if you don't understand anything GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He is extremely helpful & curves the average of the midterm.

Great professor. Attendance is not required, but his exams are based on his lectures, NOT THE BOOK. It's a hard class, but if you want to pass, take notes and really try engaging yourself into his lectures. Many people failed his exams because they gave up on listening to him and skipped class. You really need to try listening and comprehending.

Easy class and great professor; he makes the lectures fun, for how boring Econ is. One thing that sucks is that he never shows up to his own office hours, which is annoying. Don't skip class though.

He gave great lectures and although the tests were somewhat hard, he curved them and the textbook was a great source for studying (his study guides were just ok). Overall, macro with him was a fun and interesting class.

Textbook is only used for homeworks although it might help to understand some concepts better. Lecture heavy: midterms and finals are purely from his lectures, so take notes and attend! He makes the topics interesting and isnt too boring. Graded on a huge curve in the end and attendance is given to all, so you can easily finish with an A grade

The textbook and attendance are not mandatory. You only need to buy the code for the online homework. He puts the slides online but it's best to be in class because he adds onto the slides. Good office hours and makes econ more fun. Two midterms, two short writing assignments, 4 online homeworks, and a final graded on a big curve.

One of the best professors I've had. If you're interested in economics/policy/how the world works take 313 with hill! Attendance not mandatory but since his lectures are so great you actually just want to go to class. He makes the material really interesting and isn't scared to share his opinions, exams are fair , one of the best econ classes

If you have to take ECN313 take it with Hill! Best professor by far! 2 doable hw assignments, 3 tests, attendance not mandatory but one you'll want to go to be prepared for exams and because his lectures are awesome

Dr. Hill was such a solid choice for ECN 313. He made the class relatable to the real world which was nice because you will walk out of the class being able to apply it. There two easy HW assignment, and he gives study guides and practice exams for midterms and the final. He is very available and helpful during office hours! Would highly recommend!

I enjoyed this course. It was challenging to be sure, but I learned a lot about economics and the choices made by our government. The two exams in the class are challenging, but with a bit of studying and a generous curve theyre definitely passable. The discussion boards proved to have the same challenges Ive seen in all my online classes.

Professor Hill's lectures, discussion board threads, and slides are consistently relevant, thought provoking, and provide holistic answers. Dr. Hill is very accessible and cares about student success. He added additional office hours and communicated very well and helpful via discussion board/email. I can now have intelligent econ conversations!

Homework is due weekly. Attendance is taken and its counted towards your grade. Carefully pay attention to what he says for each powerpoint slide and try to make sense of the information as best as you can, as it can be difficult to grasp some of the concepts. Tests can be hard if you REALLY don't make the effort into studying. He also curves.

This class is not easy. It is, however, extremely informational and very doable with a bit of studying. He is a really good professor. He's more interested in you actually understanding what is going on in the world than grades. Yes, the tests are challenging. That's on purpose. He's a good guy, and a good professor.

I enjoyed this class. I recorded every lecture, and listened to those to study before each test. Every test covers 3-5 lectures, so its not too bad. His pre-test office hours are amazing. Go to those and you should get an A/B on each test. The last test is not cumulative. The homework is not too bad. The material is useful, Id take him again.

HW and attendance easy points but 75% of class based on 2 difficult midterms and an okay final. Exams are solely based on lectures and slides have many open-ended questions. Come to class having read the slides (I didn't do this) so you are prepared to write down the answers to q's he poses on slides. Exams are curved 15% but GO TO office hours!

I think Alexander is a solid choice for a Macro teacher. Lecture heavily obviously and he uses moblab to take attendance, his tests are based off his lectures so coming to class is valuable.

Disregard the last review. He ended up fixing the grading system. I recommend Hill. He has the students best interest and is great at explaining concepts.

Professor Hill is a very good professor. After taking his class, I feel like I can have a decent conversation about economics with others. The exams this semester were based off his lecture slides. You can't expect to cram the night before, and retain the information from 10+ lecture slides. Study a bit each day and you should be fine.

Hill was a really nice professor. If you follow the grading system carefully you can pass with a B or higher. The subject itself was difficult for me to comprehend but even though I did bad on the exams I still got an A. Exams were based on lecture slides, attendance on moblabs, and hw on cengage. I would say utilize your resources to study.

just attend his lectures and pay attention and you are guaranteed to get an A. His tests are exactly like his powerpoints plus he is funny at times. He curved heavily at the end. I was at a 90% and then suddenly I went up to 99%. Honestly, this class was sooooo easy. I would study a day before the test and I would do just fine.

half the class wouldn't show up to most of his lectures which is sad because its the easiest way to get 15% of your grade for attendance. if you show up every day and take notes, trust me you will do just fine

His class is pretty average. Nothing exciting, he just lectures every class. His tests are based off of his lectures, so if you pay attention in class and study a bit the tests are not too difficult. No curve, but he gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit.

Professor Hill was an amazing professor. ECN has always been very difficult for me to understand and having him as a professor made all the difference in the work. I came in twice a week to his office hours to better understand the material. I think a good professor makes all the difference and I 100% recommended him as a professor to take for ECN!

this was a very tough class but Hill made sure you understood the content thoroughly. go to office hours before the tests because he does a crash course of the main things to know on the test. one debate in teams, choose wisely. print the notes ahead of time because he talks fast.

He was very engaging and funny. I would definitely take another one of his classes. He loves what he teaches and it shows. The tests are a bit challenging even when you study what he suggests.

It's a little frustrating that his tests are made up of questions from the textbook test bank, so you are being tested on the book and not necessarily what you cover in class. Other than that, a solid class. He keeps lectures interesting by breaking the class up into sections. Attendance is taken on Moblab.

About 25% of his class is based on showing up to class. Another 25% are based on super easy reading quizzes. Lowest homework drops, and lowest exam drops. If you don't get an A in this class, you aren't taking the easy points that are handed to you. He's a great professor and is passionate about economics and helping his students learn.

Everyone complains about this class, but Dr. Hill gives out so many easy points. I never got better than a 75 on an exam, but he weighted the class to where an A was very possible. Just show up, do all the Cengage homework on time and take good notes. Do mindtap practice questions and you'll do great. He might be tough, but he cares about students.

Professor Hill is the best. His breadth of knowledge of economics is displayed each lecture. He encourages class discussion and participation, and I feel there was something genuinely meaningful to be taken away from every class. He sets a high standard and expects a high effort. He provides good feedback and is easy to reach outside of class

I took his class during Covid, so this may be skewed. This class is a heavy amount of work. Hill is a very knowledgeable guy and made a good effort to be accessible. I wasn't quite a fan of the level of group work required from his class, and his grading criteria was a bit unclear, but overall he did make an effort to help everyone out. .

All work is done through cengage and the dates are not in order so you need to watch out for that. He drops your lowest hw assignment, quiz, and exam. Took as live online and attendance is not required. Was only planning to pass with a C since this class is a weakness of mine and did do that. If you do the hw and quizzes you should still pass.

First off, it's an online class, there's not much the professor can do to make your experience game-changing. Professor Hill picked an awesome textbook, gave great lectures and weekly videos, and created an awesome extra credit discussion that incentivized you to learn more and earn the extra points. The work is still on you, but it's manageable.

taking him was great. you did not need to show up to lectures because all the test material comes straight from the book. as long as you read the chapters, do the easy homework and quizzes, you'll for sure pass with an A.

Such a nice guy. He really does want you to succeed in the class and will try to get you the best grade possible! 10/10 recommend for ECN 211.

I honestly found his class very easy. If you read the chapter ahead of class like you are supposed to, and come to class to listen to his lectures, you gain a lot more. The times I did not completely read the material were the times I did not gain as much. He is very understanding, helpful, and I recommend hearing him talk outside of class. Read!

I really enjoyed Hill's Macroeconomics course. It was pretty easy overall, and as long as you do the work, its just a lot of chapter readings; lecture is optional, but helpful and pretty neat. He also only has 3 tests before the final, and drops the lowest one. He is slightly disorganized, but he also made our final a one question discussion post.

Hill is lecture heavy, but he's interesting and engaging. He's goated for giving out extra credit

Prof Hill is a great option for ECN 211. At first, attendance wasn't mandatory and then he gave us easy quizzes at the end of class that sufficed as our "attendance". It's obviously lecture-heavy aside from days we have exams, which are in-person btw. The practice exams and study guides are provided and the tests correlate to them.

Professor Hill started doing some quiz during class which really seemed to help everyones grade and understanding.

If you are reading someone saying something negative, it is because they are soft. All you had to do was study the main topics that he gives for each exam and listen to what he says during lectures. Most of the kids leaving negative reviews just didn't go to class and want to blame someone else. Homework may be tough, but do it with friends.

Im not the best at Econ so I unfortunately did not do as well as I wanted in this class but that is all on me. Professor Hill gives very good lectures and advice. I was dealing with ally of mental health issues and he worked with me to push deadlines back when I needed them to. Overall great guy!

AWESOME PROFESSOR, TOOK HIS ONLINE COURSE FOR SUMMER 2022 AT ASU. WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. BASED OF MINTAP HOMEWORK, HAS 3 ATTEMPTS FOR EACH HOMEWORK. 3 TEST, FINAL IS OVERALL YOU LEARNED, GIVES EXTRA CREDIT.

I had to make this review to offset the ridiculous negative reviews. This class is so easy to do well in if you actually show up and pay attention to his lectures. The tests are literally based off of them. The negative reviews are by people who never bothered to show up to lectures after the first day and struggled with the tests as a result.

Very easy professor to take, just attend his lectures and you'll do fine on the exams. He holds review sessions the class before the exam where he goes over every concept that will be on the exam and goes over each question and answer the class after the exam. The homework is a bit harder, but just go to tutoring and they'll explain everything.

Great lectures but the homework was genuinely super tough so you might need help with that.

Prof Hill is great, his lectures are pretty heavy but it could be worse. He has quizzes at the end of each class which makes it mandatory but you can always have classmates send you the questions. Exams are kind of difficult, you have to study and a lot of the times it's not what he went over in the review sessions. I liked him.

All you have to do is show up and pay somewhat attention. Exams are extremely straightforward and quite easy using logic and common sense. If I can get an A in this class anyone can. I have no idea how anyone could leave a bad review, this professor is amazing. Take for an easy A!

After class quizzes are most of your grade and are kind of annoying because they aren't entirely based off of the slides (which he teaches on). A lot of things are dropped though including your lowest exam and he's a really smart guy. The exams weren't the worst either, they do require a bit of studying.

Professor Hill is amazing! If you're an econ major or needing to fulfill one of your ECN credits, definitely try and take his class. He is a very good lecturer that makes class periods interesting to listen to and fun to attend. He maintains the expected amount of work and difficulty for a college level class, but the drops the lowest grades you

Before evening taking his class I was afraid because there were so many awful rates. But as in overall the class is very interesting. You get to learn a lot! 4 terms but drops 1, focus more on his lectures. He gives out a quiz after class to test our knowledge but you can also work with your neighbors.

Hill is a nice, chill guy. Quizzes at the end of class that's multiple choice where you can get the answers from people around you. I never got less than a 5/5. The homework is tedious, but you can find the answers online. 3 midterms, 1 final. He drops the lowest midterm grade, drops 5 quizzes, and 2 homeworks too. Tests based solely on notes.

I loved this class. The in-class quizzes are what is graded most heavily, but it goes over the lecture for the day and you can work with other people. The tests are fairly easy. The homework and reading quizzes felt more like a waste of time, but they only are assigned every two weeks.

Great professor and class setup. Put in the time and you get the grade you want. Exams may seem difficult if you don't know how Pearson works but all questions come from the "study guide" section of Pearson. Study em, memorize em, know em. Amazing lectures. Super interesting. Super useful for anyone as it impacts everyone and everything. Best class

4 homeworks, 2 exams, 1 large group project. This class becomes significantly easier if you have a good group, as most work done in this class is done in a group.

Class was unique and really interesting. Weekly lectures, readings, and empirical activities. Only 4 quizzes and he drops the lowest one, study and you'll be fine. Each week a random group presents on the readings. The group project is a lot of work, but he has reasonable deadlines and gives feedback to help your group be successful.

Professor Hill makes this class really engaging. The in-class quizzes and dropped grades make it manageable. I found Unstuck AI super helpful for exam prep alongside the textbook.

Highly recommend Hill. Very engaging lectures that emphasized application of data analysis and statistical methods over pure theory. Homeworks were from the textbook and were distributed reasonably throughout the semester. Two exams and one big group project which Hill was always reachable for feedback.

Hill is such a nice guy, super engaging as a lecturer, and always available to help. He's really reasonable and makes the class feel approachable. Definitely the best option for Econometrics—you'll leave with a much better understanding of the methods and actually know how to apply them.
