Very good teacher. In order to pass his class, you need to keep up with the readings, unless you know Microeconomics. He does not give any homework which is good and bad. Your final grade is just the three exams put together. The first two are worth 30 points and the final is worth 40. If you want to pass just read and go to class.

His lectures are very important; however, almost a show up and pass cause he's that clear. No homework, no attendance, no quizzes. Only 3 exams two are 30 questions final is 40. NO exam is cumulative. Seriously, just take him he's the best Micro professor at Rutgers.

show up to class and pass, read the book and pass, your choice. lectures are very textbook-based and he is clear. exams are fair and reasonable.

Great and funny guy! Lectures were enjoyable even though they were at night. He bases his material on the textbook. Important to note: you have only THREE grades: exams 1 and 2, and then the final. Sometimes I wish there was graded HW to boost me up a little, but overall: read the textbook, do the optional HW, go to lecture, and you should be good!

really nice professor

Hohmann knows his stuff pretty well. But there are only 3 exams; first two are 30 points and the last one is 40. None of them are cumulative, which is great, but keep in mind that you have to do well on all of these exams as there are no homework or other grades to help you. The textbook is online--just keep using different emails for the trial.

There are 3 tests, 30, 30 and the final is 40 points. All multiple choice. It's not cumulative except for the final which has 10 questions from the first two units but its pretty basic stuff. Missed a bunch of lectures and got a B+. Great guy, and this class got me more interested in the subject. Going to class isn't necessary to pass, but it helps

At first, I did not think I would like Hohmann or Micro, but in the end it was one of the best classes I have taken at Rutgers so far! He is an amazing professor, so PAY ATTENTION in class and you will learn. His gives three exams, and if you do the optional homework the exams will seem fair! Loved Hohmann!

One of the good Econ professor at Rutgers. Knows what he's talking about and will clarify with any questions you have. Some questions on tests are not in the book and only mentioned in class so if you go to class it's an easy A but you can pass without it. Easy homework about once a week.

Really great professor althoug the lectures or more of a summary/clarification of the material so reading the book is highly suggested. 3 exams not cumalitve final great guy, would take again

Great Professor. Can make lectures really interesting. No accent so he is very crystal clear. He gives out homework worth 10% of your and three exams wroth 30% each. The textbook which was Microeconomics by Krugman 4th edition is essential to pass. He makes the class very interesting. Test are 40 questions multiple choice and they are very fair.

It all depends on how much effort you're willing to put in. Some people naturally understand this concept of micro and therefore have nothing to study for. But if you're like me, seek the extra help, read on your own, try anything. It's pretty hard in my opinion. But he's decent at explaining stuff, especially one on one so take the initiative.

Hohmann is super clear in his lectures. He really breaks down the material to make it easy to understand and welcomes questions. Super helpful and wants you to do good. Also, he's hilarious so it keeps class interesting. His tests aren't cumulative and very fair. If you study the material, there shouldn't be any surprises.

Three exams, each 30% of your total grade, and 10% from your homework. attendance is not mandatory but helps with exams. he doesn't allow taking notes using laptop but that's the way i find most helpful (because it's fast and convenient to review and read). most exam questions are from your homework and quizlet so study those.

Very good professor. Lectures are clear and in logical order. Definitely read the material before class to get the most out of it. If you go to class, do the readings, and do your part of the job as a student, an A is definitely manageable.

He WILL call you out and stop lecture if he sees you on your phone. Read the book before class bc powerpoints are directly from it, no point writing it all. Also go to class bc some exam questions are talked about in lecture. Not for those who can't study concepts, because he doesn't do math here (no calculators).

Make sure you do the HW, because some of exam questions are from HW. And you should do a lot of extra testbank if you want to get an A.

Prof. Hohmann is a good professor. His lectures, presented with a powerpoint, are very clear and the information comes straight out of the textbook so you can always refer back to it if you are confused. Homework is easy if you read the textbook. Exam questions come from the homework so if you do well on the homework, you'll do well on the exams.

He was probably one of my favorite professors. He rewards students for going to class. I remember there were questions on the exams that he only discussed in class. He always responded well to student questions and concerns. A genuinely good guy, and smart too. His lectures explained topics well, and you could review them later online.

Easiest and best micro professor for sure. You don't need to read to pass, as long as you do the homeworks and watch micro videos on YouTube, you'll get a pretty good grade in this class. No need to go to class, but going to class is def a plus because he sometimes shows exam questions in advance in class.

Pretty funny guy and he makes the topic more interesting. Impressive, since you can't really find humor in business-related courses. Takes slides right from the textbook, but explains stuff really well. Don't pretend to know everything in Intro to MicroEcon because he will roast you

I had Hohmann for 2 classes and I'll say he gives a cocky vibe. You may or may not like him, usually split feelings among the class, BUT Hohmann is fair. You get the grade you deserve in the class. Read the textbook (before class) and THEN go to class, and you should get an A. I wouldn't recommend skipping unless you took econ in high school.

Great, funny teacher who really knows his stuff. He doesn't curve, but tbh his exams aren't hard enough to require a curve. As long as you either read the book or go to lecture and pay attention, you should be fine. One thing i should mention is that while attendance wasn't mandatory, there are two topics he quizzes you on that aren't in the book.

Professor Hohmann is a great professor. His lectures are very helpful and he will help you with your questions until you fully understand. He made me actually look forward to lecture with his entertaining personality. Exams are not easy but definitely passable especially with the curve at the end.

Easy class if you already took econ before. Hoemann made the class more interesting with his witty jokes. There is a lot of reading involved in the class, as the lectures do not go in a ton of depth, but overall the tests are mostly based on in class examples, and homework problems.

Provides students the resources to excel in both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. His class is what you make of it, if you attend his office hours, lectures, and do the necessary homework, you will do well in his classes. His passion of the subjects were what led me to pursuing an Economics major.

He's a great professor and is helpful during office hours. He uses real-world examples to help students understand the material and makes funny jokes in class. Micro isn't an easy class but he does his best to help you understand it. I definitely recommend him for intro to micro

If you actually put in effort you can definitely get an A in this class. Everyone who complained about him in my class always skipped and didn't put in the effort until it was too late. Pay attention to lectures and GO TO CLASS- the examples in his powerpoints show up on the exams!! He explains concepts clearly so if you don't do well, it's on you.

Attendance is not mandatory, most of the material you can teach yourself, but if you get confused, go to lecture. The class is challenging, but when I do show up to class, he always presents it in a way where I can understand. Read ahead every chapter and take your own notes before going to lecture. He's a friendly guy, accomplished in his field.

Hohmann is awesome! So engaging and his lectures are actually helpful. He not only asks questions to the class to keep us on our toes, but also answers any and all questions we ask. Not that hard, but you do need to go to class and preferably, read the textbook. I would definitely take him again, just cause he is such a good lecturer.

Hohmann is a clear, interesting lecturer. Although attendance is not mandatory, I would recommend attending if you can. The exams are on the harder side (compared to other econ professors) and to do well you need to read the textbook, understand the homework, and go to class.

Engaging lectures packed with humor and relatability. Knowledge exceeds far beyond simply Economics. Makes this difficult subject much easier. Aside from his outstanding lectures, Professor Hohmann taught me the art of critical thinking. Professor Hohmann will quite possibly go down as my all-time favorite instructor in my higher education. A++++++

His lectures are pretty helpful. He explains very nicely. His exams were really difficult tho. If you wanna learn something, i would definitely take him. But if you are not a good test taker, I would suggest take a different professor.

He definitely knows his stuff and he is a good teacher. You can tell that he tries to material interesting and incorporates a bunch of examples and anecdotes in his lectures. There are 3 exams and none of them are cumulative, which is good. As long as you do the readings and go to lecture, you'll have a good chance of doing well in this class.

Great professor. Hes very involved in class, answers questions and really prevents the class from getting dull. Only annoyances are that he doesnt post slides online, so go to class, and no technology at all allowed, but I guess thats for the best. Theres 3 exams with the same weight (noncumulative) but if you read the book the exams are fine.

One of my favorite professors teaching at the University. Attendance and keeping up with the reading material is essential to your success. He gives the most interesting and relevant lectures of any professor I have ever had. If you do the readings, show up and pay attention in class, do online practice questions, this class should be very easy.

Overall he's a good professor. He's definitely very knowledgeable and willing to help. It's true that he doesn't allow technology in class so you have to rely on taking good notes. Go to office hours if you can! I had a decent time in his class.

Best economics professor. Gives you important slides to print before class and take notes on (and you will definitely want these when you are studying). He uses real-world examples in his lessons and presents the info in a great way. Review notes, do his practice/homework problems, and use the online resources. Straight forward tests too. Enjoy

Microeconomics with Professor Hohmann is not easy, but he does care about his students, as long as you participate and go to his office hours. Make sure to read the textbook before class!!! His lectures are also great, he connects topics to real current affairs, something a lot of other professors don't do. Put in the work and you'll do well.

He is an amazing professor compared to any other business school professors. He is incredibly knowledgeable and invites questions from students, answering all he can get to. Strict no phones. Very very helpful to read chapter before lecture so you can participate. I highly recommend reading chapter then using all sapling tools to study for tests.

There's lots of HW but it's good practice. Some of the HW and quiz questions are on his exams. He wants students to participate so make sure you read the textbook before coming to class. I never liked microecon (business itself), but he made me become more interested and knowledgable in the topic. He's a great professor and loves what he teaches!

He is a really good professor with really interesting lectures. His class may be a little challenging, but I think that he prepares you adequately (He can be a little mean).

Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll gain a lot from going. He makes Microeconomics funny, entertaining, interesting, and relatable.

Professor Hohmann is great- his micro lectures were really interesting and he makes class funny and engaging which is low key rare. That being said, for online class we had quizzes and HW due each week at 6pm which is a lot to keep track of. If you want to do well make sure to use all your sapling resources, go to class and read the textbook.

Honestly, he's really accommodating due to COVID-19. he uploads these explanations/lectures for each chapter and he goes through it thoroughly and then in class he goes through problems and introduces ideas/concepts and the pace that this course is taught is also really good. really good prof 10/10

Really great and funny guy. The lectures can be a little lengthy. He spends too much time on the optional readings but reviews hw really well. Its too easy to fall behind in this class so make sure to keep up. My advice for this class would be to read the textbook and review on your own to get an A. He will not spoon feed you the material.

Very accessible for office hours, willing to have conversations about macro topics. During pandemic, fully asynchronous, very organized.

Honestly one of the best professors I have had at Rutgers. He is tough, do not misunderstand, and he takes no ones sh*t, but he clearly knows what he's talking about and his lectures are full of witty commentary and relevant information

Knowledgeable with all of the topics he teaches. Be sure to read the textbook while taking notes as quiz questions partially come from the passages in the book.

Hohmann is a very wise and caring Professor. He has weekly homework and quiz assignments to complete, with the goal of student retention, both are easy to accomplish. The quiz is just recycled questions from mylab study plan. He is very accessible, funny, and gives great advice, especially if you are interested in economics and/or finance.

I took Macro asynch with this prof and it was pretty easy. There was weekly homework (easy) and quizzes (difficult) and a final cumulative exam (easier than the quiz questions). The homework opened at 11:59PM on Monday and the quizzes at 11:59PM on Thursday which was a bit unusual. If youre short of a grade cutoff, you wont get the higher grade.

Explains all concepts very well, classes are generally fun to attend

Professor Hohmann taught this class very well. The concepts were explained well and I learned a lot. You need to read and show up to do well in this class(attendance not mandatory). He was accessible by email and office hours. He only allows handwritten notes, so be prepared to come with a pen & paper or iPad. His slides are intuitive; I recommend.

This is my second time taking Professor Hohmann. He is very knowledgeable and teaches very thoroughly. He goes into depth for all of his topics and his quizzes are straightforward. While attendance isn't mandatory, I'd recommend going to his lectures, he answers questions and is available outside of class to help. Read the textbook though!

A bit of a tense classroom experience because he's quite strict and blunt, but an great professor teaching wise. His lectures are helpful and very well connected to the textbook readings. As long as you attend and pay attention, you should be successful in this course. Quizzes and tests are straightforward but still difficult.

Hohmann is an old-school teacher who believes that grades are not given by teachers, but earned by students. As such, he has an old style: he doesn't allow phones or computers in class (though he does allow tablets) and does not allow retests (but will drop the lowest of 11 quiz grades). Still, he was clear, effective, and great with answering Q's.

Attends to questions and queries during the lecture, connects lecture material with current events and related disciplines.

Would highly recommend

Incredible professor but you need to spend time learning the subject. Blueprint is given to you day 1 and it's up to you to commit to it. Practice weekly tests, study for exams, read the textbook and you'll do well. Lectures aren't mandatory but you should attend, he is a fantastic lecturer and can answer any question. 10/10 prof for a hard class.

Take Professor Hohmann. The recipe for this course is simple: take the practice quizzes, read the textbook, and study. He makes this clear from day one. He takes his instruction seriously and you should too. His lectures are extraordinary, insightful, and intuitive. He is simply brilliant and such a joy to have as a professor. Get ready to learn!

This class has 11 quizzes, 1 gets dropped for the lowest grade. 3 exams overall. The final exam I found it to be the easiest of the other 2. Lecture isnt mandatory but he does give the notes during class and its not uploaded on Canvas as you only get a partial version of it. Although a lower level elective, its a tough class. Be prepared.

He posts weekly quizzes and tons of practice on Canvas that are the exact types of problems that are on the exams (some of them are even the same), so def make sure to use those to study. His lectures are good & you need to go to class to fill out the lecture outline slides but don't stress if you miss a couple. The textbook is helpful for review

I took Hohmann for macro and Prusa for micro during the same semester. Hohmann was good but Prusa was fabulous. Hohmann was lecture heavy and test heavy.

Great professor! Hohmann's Canvas is organized, and is very knowledgeable and passionate. His lectures are very structured and detailed. He holds students accountable for disruptions, so stay focused and ask questions! Quizzes can be tricky, but the exams are fair. Keep up with the readings, attend class, and review regularly, and you'll do fine.

its hard, you really have to put in work and study, MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO LECTURES, no point in going if you don't

Prof. Hohmann gets a bad rap because he is strict - my honest opinion is that he's a solid teacher. His office hrs are great, and if you do the exercises on Achieve, at least skim the book, and show up to lecture, you will do well and get an A. On the inside, he loves his students and has lots of wisdom - attend his office hours to see what I mean.

As long as you do the practice questions and read the textbook, the exams become very easy. But you do have to put in the work so if you don't understand something go to his office hours! He also base his exams on the practice questions so it's very important to do it every week. I'm usually a weak test taker but this class was manageable for me.

Attending lectures made concepts easier to understand, and the professor provided interesting real-world examples. The only grades are the weekly quizzes and three exams, which are all multiple choice, and doing some practice problems and attending class really helps.

read or at least skim through the chapter before class. doing the hw problems on achieve are not required but do them before taking the weekly quizzes to help. go to the lectures, his lecture notes make concepts easy to understand.

He's one of the best Econ professors at Rutgers, and I wish he taught higher-level courses instead of just intro/elective courses. Even though some material is tough, he explains it really well. His classes have weekly quizzes (lowest quiz score dropped), two midterms, and a final. Exams aren't too bad, but most of the class ends up with a C/C+.

If you read the textbook and study hard you'll do well in the class. Professor Hohmann emphasizes this at the start and during the semester many times, and his lectures are very well organized and interactive which help you understand the concepts. I preferred him to professor elgawly who I'm taking intro to macro with this semester.

Honestly, he wants to help you do well. And he is hilarious during class. That being said, be prepared to do LOTS of work outside of the class; atypical for a 102. On the exams, class averages around around 65. If you really commit to the class, doing practice problems, really reading the textbook, you'll be fine.

Microeconomics is a pretty bland topic, a lot of technical work that if you don't like, you don't like. The professor has some policies he's pretty strict about, but otherwise, if you show up to lectures, try to understand the material and ask questions when you have them, you'll do fine.

I had him for International Econ. Pretty good professor. Lecture isn't mandatory but it was useful for me to get a general idea of the topics despite being pretty boring. The grade is comprised of exams and quizzes only. Exam questions come mostly from quizzes and practicequizzes. It's all multiple choice though so it's definitely manageable.

Not as bad as people say, sure he yaps in lecture but just skip them and read the textbook, his exams aren't that bad so you can pretty much just self study and do well in the class.

Very easy exams that are based off of the weekly practice quizzes assigned to us each weekend. Make sure you attend lectures, take notes on the outlines he provides on Canvas, and do the quizzes each week and you'll do well on the exams.

Hohmann used a lot of examples from current events to make things more interesting since most of us aren't econ majors. Exams were fair. Very helpful during office hours.

Lectures included lots of references to what's going on with tariffs, trade, and international relations. The theory can be dry but the math was easy and he kept things relevant to the news. Go to class and you don't need to read the textbook too much.
