Pros : Vid tutorials for the HW- vry helpful HW worth more than final,as long as you do HW, more than likely to pass Passionate-always willing to help-office hrs via Zoom Cons : Subject is difficult, you miss a class, you're probs lost forever after daily HW, atleast 2 1/2 hrs, more if you dunno material theory problems are hard get what you work 4

I took him last semester and I honestly was so glad when it ended. He is not a terrible professor by any means but he is not suited for online classes. The material we needed to learn is better suited for classroom studies not an online class.

He wasn't as bad as people made him seem. He's a nice guy. There's a lot of tedious Hw's that take hours to finish. The quizs that he gives are based off the Hw so make sure you actully know how to do the Hw. He does give tutorials on each hw where he shows us how to solve the problems. Very helpful. 2 tests that are based off Stata and the hw's.

This is not an easy topic. Homework is 3 parts and can be very time consuming (3+ hours a week). There are prerecorded tutorials for each assignment. Quizzes almost every week. 3 part mid term and final similar to the homework. The resources are given, you just HAVE to put in the time and effort. Not a horrible teacher, but gives a lot of work.

Took him in the summer. He was a great guy tbh, Just A LOT of work. There were 2 tests that had 3 parts to it. MC, word problems, and STATA. Make sure you pay attention to the reviews and hw's and actually understand it or you'll be lost on the tests and quizzes. Don't take this if you are a full-time student with 4 other classes to worry about.

TERRIBLE. He expects too much from students, doesnt explain anything. Very knowledgeable however, is unable to relay the knowledge. So basically, he can't teach. This was a hybrid class and the only thing he did in person was was the homework that was due the following week which was not useful because he had tutorials online for every homework

Knows the material well but fails to teach it. Uses in class time to give quizzes and go over the homework but he expects you to know it beforehand without him giving us a lecture. If you want to do good you will have to teach your yourself.

This is a hard class, but he tries his best to teach it. He gives a lot of homework, however he provides you with the answers, so there's no way you can do bad on the homework. Plus, the homework is a big portion of your grade, which will boost your grade. His exams are exactly like the homework. However, it is a lot of studying, but it is doable.

He is a good professor, however, it is a lot of work. The only good thing about this course is that there is no way to fail unless you don't do the work. Its not hard to fail, but it is hard to get an A.

Nice professor. But, his assignments are just a lot which is very time confusing on top of other class. His lecture notes are a lot because they are 2 hours long. However, they do prepare you to do good in the class, but he can cut down on some things and make them as extra credit instead of fully counting because it takes up too much time.

He has ups and downsides. Ups: gives feedback on homework, extra credit for lecture notes, office hours held, most work done in class Downs: inflexible even when "new info is brought to light", lots of lecturing on behaviors, doesn't take student's complaints or issues seriously, homework is heavy but okay(?) - Take if you have time+need credit

The Professor is not that bad Lol in fact, he is a cool Professor that provides enough tools for you to succeed, goes over the homework, and genuinely understands what he is teaching. The only problem with this guy is he makes his test complicated for no reason by timing each section, he's stubborn and gave to many long Hws for no reason Lol.

Overall, he knows and understands the material extremely well. My only critique is his lectures are a bit difficult to follow along. Often times I found myself looking to other sources to learn the material. He does care about his students and is very professional. As long as you put the effort in you will do well in this class.

Overall his class is difficult as it is a 300 level economics course. However, if you put the time in to study for his class you are able to get an A. He does give a lot of quizzes, but he also gives extra credit. If you do take his class set aside time to study each week for his course.
