His markers smell funny. Not much EC, but he's a cool guy.

he is a great teacher!if u are not going to conferences or listening to his lecture, u will fall for sure like rest of them who are complaining!be a smart one and choose his class!

He's a very good professor. If you can get around the accent, he's informative, and he knows his materials. Plus you get pizza at the end of his class. I thoroughly enjoyed his class. Getting an A because of extra credit.

He is a really good guy, very profeessional also. Econ is hard, but I understand and learn more from him. The Greastest thing is he is very close to every student. He remember most of the student names. Pizza party at the end of the semester.

I really enjoyed his class. He's not easy, in the sense that if your not there everyday and ready to learn its easy to get behind. But his tests are fair, lectures clear, and personality is cool. I recommend him

Summer Session, nothing special, your typical CC prof. Take Dr. Jerry Allen (under Political Science) for a real learning experience

Very nice and helpful professor. But the tests are too hard!

Very good teacher...he is easy and helps out alot..Tests are not that hard either...His lectures are very clear..

GREAT TEACHER! Better than Masoomian! Assigned a 5 PERCENT (of your total grade) extra credit assignment. His lectures are a bit of a challenge for those who like to talk and don't like to study, but if you follow this guy and his real-world examples, you'll get an "A". Econ is a real tough subject.

His M.C.exams are not hard. By the way, study guide is super helpful. After reading the textbook, you may only have a C+; after doing the study guide, you can get an A!! I strongly recommend everyone to buy the study guide.

He's easy. Just follow his instructions for hw, he's not very picky about it. Don't miss any hw, and quizes, not alot to read, Uses a very small book. Friendly, helpful,fair grader,funny& finals are easy too, just 35 multiple choice.Quizes, and midterm are easy too. I'll highly recomond to take hi

he is a good teacher. Better than Massumian. I would recommened this teacher. He gives 6 percent extra credit opportunity. Tests are hard. You neeed to study very hard in this class. I did and got the A. Nice person. teaches well. This is not a class for slackers. Must do all work. Never miss class or else you will regret it.

Was a great teacher. was in his first class to take the essay challenge.. there was only three C and everything else was A and Bs. He loves what he is talking about and knows what he talking about.. He was always there to help us if we needed it and got along with everybody.. This class was very easy.. Take this class was the best

great teacher and always willing to help you after class. ask him anything and he will help you. he even remembers you years after you take his class if you are the ones who ask for help from him. great teacher and i would recommend it to anyone, but one thing is you have to study in this class. study, his help, paying attention equals an "A".

this teacher is great, might move fast at times but is very willing to slow down and re-explain things with very applicable examples. gives extra credit, is very flexible and takes students' opinions into account when making tests, etc.

This review is based on Summer Session. You have to study very hard in this class but he is willing to help you and gives you many examples until understand. Its very hard to understand him in the beginning because of his accent but you'll get used to it. If you want a easy class, look elsewhere. But if you want to learn, this is the teacher for yo

his class is pretty chill, but you have to study a lot. his tests are pretty hard, but for summer session it was all open book except the final. he a really nice and cool teacher. if you actually try you can pass the class.

I was in an experiment class! 2 10 page term papers!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I got a B tho.

this is a really goofy Indian guy. but he makes the class fun with his corny jokes. all tests were taken directly from book. I read the book and aced the class. Lectures are ok, but they don't really prepare you much for the exam. This guy is great, though. He will bend over backwards to help any student in need. He doesn't take himself too serious

I took his class while ago, but as long as you study, you'll be fine. If you have questions, he tries his best to explain them. This subject is totally boring to begin with, so you have to put in on your part.

Good teacher. Homework was easy if you read the book. The test were not that easy, felt like it had nothing to do w/ the book. No papers of any kind. If you have the discipline to teach yourself I would take this class online. Sometimes when he emailed you back he wasn't all that clear. If I had to do it again I would take the internet class.

His test is not easy, but you'll do great if you take notes and listen his lecture. A little HW, esay. He treat students like friends, he is good. lots of fun during class.5 tests &1 final& 4~5 Hw, lots of extra. It is one of my favorite classes in Mt. Sac, choose him!

This class was hard for me, but that's because I don't like the subject. He's a nice man. Do the homework, attend class regularly, take good notes, read the book and you will do fine. If you do opposite, you might fail. If you are doing poorly, ask questions or go to his office hours. He will help.

Hard? Yes. Nice? Yes. Helpful? sort of. He speaks with an accent. If you need help take him in class. Online heard, hes not helpful at all. Test were difficult but he drops one. Homework were hella easy. Do well on the homework, try to do well on test and it'll be fine. For the summer, he had the final optional, so I ended up with a B.

Excellent professor, who cares about the accent, I understood fine. Knows his subject, extremely helpful. Test are really hard, so I don't recommend taking this course on-line. You can compensate with extra credit and homework. He is funny too.

generally, i wouldn't really recommend taking his class in a short session, but he made it pretty painless for me. homework is extremely easy. gives a lot of EC. lectures were fairly basic compared to the tests, tests were extremely hard.. but most of them were open book. i got an A in the class, and i thought it was fine.

Mr.Dua is one of the nicest teachers ever!he really cares about his students & often refers to us as his children.BUT if u really want to learn anything i do not recommend taking his class. His lectures are clear & his accent really is not a big deal.i understood him pretty well.study guides do not help but he does give plenty of extra credit!

Breezes through material. Fair in grading, helpful if you ask.

Easy teacher tests are common sense, i see alot of ppl complaining based on the comments, u guys prob dont even pay attention or anything, especially if ur a business major and takin this class should be easy

You guys just do not pay enough attention to the class.Professor Dua is a good teacher.His class is easy compared to intermediate economics class.But you may only get C+ after reading his lecture notes because that is not enough for preparing the test.In order to get high mark,please make sure you have done additional works.

This man is a great teacher. Anyone who is reading this, I wouldn't put too much merit into the people who are giving him bad ratings. All you have to do is pay attention. Thats it! If you got decent grades in high school (3.2+), you WILL get an A. Anyone hoping to transfer to a good UC, and needs Econ, take this guy. Give's tons of EC too

He has accent?Yes. Tests require logical thiking and math analysis?Yes. But that is not the reasons who complain his class is hard.It is unfair to give hime lower rating.In myopinion,Professor Dua's class is easy.Anyone here who blames Dua is because you guys are lazy.Study hard and stop hating guys.

WOW!Professor Dua is the best professor I have had at Mt.Sac.He takes care of his students.The test is super easy if you read his lecture notes.I do not know his other classes.But in my class,the average test score is always 42/50 which is a B.He provides 10% extra credit.So if you get everything B,youwill get overall A after the extra credit added

Take him.A+

He is a teacher who really takes care about his students.But you must read the book and understand concepts before each class.Otherwise,you may get lost.Some people here complains his accent and hard test.That is unfair.You guys just do not study and being lazy.Economics is not an easy subject.Taking Professsor Dua's class should be easy.Enjoy!!!!

What an amazing class.Enjoy!!!!

Professor Dua is extremely helpful and his class environment is suitable for an easy A. The tests are completely based off of his lecture notes, so make sure you read them. One problem I had with him was his clarity might not have been perfect and he is usually quite stubborn when their might be a better alternative to his methods/ideas/knowledge.

I will not miss this professor if the class space is available in Spring and Winter.He is the only economics prfessor to take for who wants to get an A. I got 89% in his class without adding 10% extra credit.The overall grade I get is 99% with having extra credit.Take Dua should be easy to get grade above 90%.Very,very easy.Take him!A+

he has an indian accent but he tries very hard to make you understand. and he teaches econ. straight to the point. he wrote his own book so it's very easy to review his lectures. i rate that he's hot because he would actually match his turban with his tie. ^^ just don't be late to his class because he'll count it as an absent. book's about $55

I dont know what people are talking about on here, either that or he has really lightened up. I would definitly recommend him since he nearly gives you all the answers to the tests on the test reviews, just make sure you study a lot and do the homework better than that zawarhi guy(<< avoid him)

he is a nice professor.. ask questions if u have, and he will answer... is not an easy class but is not hard either... and he teaches just the same is in the book

Very straightforward professor who helps you understand the concepts. When asking a question, he gives you a detailed answer to help you. If you're still lost, he goes into more lament/practical terms so he is very patient. Other than that he sometimes goes off tangent with humorous stories, and also the lecture goes with the book.

I actually like his class. He explained things clearly (if you really pay attention). His test were kind hard but not if you really studied. The thing is if you are really interested in the topic, then you should be fine. Economic is a matter of how you understand it, if the concept is clear to you, there should not be a problem

I managed to get a B in this class and he was nice enough to help. However his first two tests had different terminology from the book that we used, but the last two tests had the same terminology. He also gives extra credit to help with grade. His class is pass-able, not that bad.

The Professor was very helpful and knowledgeable. He goes the extra mile to make sure everyone gets what he is explaining. If you are not willing to study and do your part, you'll probably think that is a hard class. I would 100% recommend this professor and I'm taking him again for 1B

He is helpful and very nice. I was terrified of this professor when I read the reviews, but he is actually a very good teacher in my opinion. I believe he has lightened up due to all the poor reviews from students. Lectures are great; you will learn to understand his accent later. True, his "lecture notes" are full of errors, but they ARE helpful!

I took Dua's BUSC 1A class back in Fall 2012 and failed with flying colors, so I decided to crash his class and took it again in Fall 2013. It was a lot easier the second time around of course, and his teaching is not as poor as everyone makes it seem. Just read the book (lecture notes written by himself) and show up to not miss random quizzes.

Very nice professor! He is willing to help when you need it. Grades a little hard on homework. Random quizzes are given so don't be absent a lot. Lecture notes have some errors, but are helpful for the tests!

Professor Dua is a nice guy. Grade is based on quizzes, a midterm, homeworks, and the final. Little extra credit is given. He tries to make sure students understand the material. If something is unclear, he does his best to make it clear. Do not be absent on random quizzes, it will hurt your grade. Study hard if you want to pass this class!

Loved Professor Dua's class. After reading all the reviews, I was scared going into his class. However, I found his class extremely interesting. You do have to attend class, and READ THE TEXTBOOK. Tests and quizzes can be difficult. But, he really wants his students to learn and have a good grade. He will help.

Very nice professor and is willing to help his students! He has lightened up! Quizzes and homeworks are given at random times! Overall, a great professor, TAKE HIM!!

Out of my 2 years at Mt. SAC I can honestly say he was my favorite professor. I tansferred to CSUF and the Mihaylo College of Business grades way harder than him. This is one of the few classes that actually prepared me for University level work. The rest of my classes, not so much lol. At the time I thought he was a 35 but looking back he's a 5

Professor Dua is a really nice guy and funny at times. He also knows his materials well and is willing to explain to you if you don't understand. The 2 things I hated are his "textbook" and his tests (only midtermfinal). The book (he wrote) is poorly written and hard to navigate. The questions on his tests don't seem like anything he's covered.

The final grade is curved and extra credit is abundant. No reason to get below a B. If you suck at basic algebra, then perhaps business is not for you. Looking to walk that "A" into the goal? Don't take him. In fact, if you're tight on cash, you don't even have to buy the packet (it's only $27). Just show up to class and take good notes.

I took Dua for both classes and I believe he's the best. He does not teach straight out of a book and does not give you definitions to memorize, because that is not how you learn! He expects you to understand the concepts and to be able to apply them to any situation. If you read, study and go to class there is no reason why you shouldn't pass.

He is a very highly underrated professor and a sweet man. I understood him clearly, even though he has an accent. He clearly has a passion for the subjects he teaches and gives extra credit opportunities. He is also funny and always asks how you're doing before class starts.

So. A lot of folks on here are complaining about him being unclear. I never got that impression. Basically, people were having a hard time with VERY basic algebra, which just goes to show how our atrocious public high school system is failing us. If you're scared, don't be. Professor Dua has some interesting tales and makes the environment amicable

Professor Dua has by far been the most compassionate and caring professor i have ever had. Macro and Microeconomics are boring classes, but he does his best to make them relatable and NEVER has an issue explaining things over and over again. He is honestly so amazing, communication is key. He has NO problem working with you if you let him know.

Dua is the best econ professor at Mt. Sac! I took him for both classes after not passing another 1A professor. He's tough, but he's the best choice. Very friendly & fun to talk to. I definitely recommend him.

This class is easy if you study. He gives you his notes, that is the book you buy. He is clear on the lecture. I recommend this class.

Dua is an awesome professor. He's willing to help you when you do not understand something. The class is easy and you use his book that he wrote which contains study guides that are helpful for his test, that are not very difficult to begin with. Be sure to make it to class on time to take the quizzes his gives at the beginning or it might cost you

MUST SHOW UP TO CLASS ON TIME or else you miss the random quizzes BUY THE BOOK. It's $30 and it's a LIFESAVER He's a good professor and tries to make class entertaining. He can get a little confusing, but if you just read over the book that he wrote, you'll be fine. REALLY STRICT on phones out and talking to other groups during group work

This professor is great! He tries to help whenever you have a question. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Buy the book and read it!

Professor Dua is one of the best professors I've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and their academic success. I had some personal during the time I was taking his class and he really worked with me to make sure I was successful. HOWEVER, stay on top of work & BE ON TIME. Class is not hard as long as you do the required work/reading.

Professor Dua is one of the best professors I've ever had. Just be in class On time. quiz and tests are easy

Good professor would take again took for Busc 1A and Busc 1B

Professor Dua is a very kind and knowledgeable man. He lectures the whole time, with a few homework assignments. He only gives a midterm and final, but has multiple pop quizzes throughout the semester, which add up. Attendance is very important. He doesn't give out the quiz after class has started and doesn't accept late work.

He wrote a word doc book, same info as lectures. I find econ difficult and he makes it understandable. He clearly outlines his expectations (pop quizzes-open book/note, CAN'T BE LATE, no phones, HW, midterm/final-3x5 notecard allowed). If you follow, you will pass! Have to put in the work, but you will learn. Very kind person. EC options given.

I loved Dua. He makes economics understandable by using life examples. His homework is fairly easy, quizzes are OPEN BOOK. Tests are average if you study you will be fine. . Do not miss class he usually gives his quizzes on consecutive days if you have quiz on monday there will be one wednesday.

He teaches in understandable ways and the lectures are directly related to the (very helpful!) textbook. Class structure is fairly simple with two exams, occasional quizzes, light hw, and extra credit. An overall great professor and great person, take him!

Professor Dua is great! He gives real life examples in order to make students fully understand Econ. It is definitely worth taking econ with him. If you read his book and go to class you should be fine.

Honestly I did not realize how good of a professor he was until I took 1B with another professor. He is a great teacher, but in order for you to get an A you need to be a good student.

Professor Dua was great for my Econ over winter intercession. He may be hard to understand sometimes during lectures but make sure to ask questions when topics are not clear. Quizzes are easy he allows notes and the book. Tests are not too hard if you just read the book. Overall youll have to put in some effort but its easy. Also he is very kind

Professor Dua is a pretty good teacher, he does lecture the whole class so it may get boring but it's really easy to pass. The quizzes are easy if you pay attention, the homework and lectures are basically in the book. Really nice but big on being on time and not being on phones.

Long lectures which can become boring, stay engaged Available to meet and wants to meet with you Uses his own text he wrote, he explains very well for people who are not familiar with economics/relateable examples Don't be even seconds late, there are no make up pop quizzes Not an easy A but easy if you pay attention/understand (ask questions)

I see a lot of people talk badly of this professor , in all reality he isn't that bad he makes you buy a text book he wrote you can buy at the bookstore definitely helped me when I didn't understand the lectures. He can go on and on about any of the topics but he tries his best for people to understand. STRICT on phones you're in class clam down.

Not sure why so much hate, don't be discouraged to take him he is not a bad professor. Took him during pandemic and his online class was very straight forward. Read the book, study for exams and you will do fine. Homework isn't bad at all.

overall great class and amazing professor. He was available every Weds for office hours. You have to buy a book that he made. Honestly it was very helpful. When writing discussions he told you what chapter to review and what to search for online for guidance. He also offered extra credit. I would definitely take another one of his classes!!

Lectures can feel a little long and his accent/writing can be hard to understand but if you keep up in the lecture notes textbook, you'll be fine. 8 hw assignments, 2 midterms, and 1 final (weren't hard). Assignments were completed online at home. He is very sweet and can pick up a fast pace at times so just ask questions and work w/ friends.

I really enjoyed this professor! Everything was very straight to the point. You have to get a book that he published. Lots of reading, and you can find the answers in the book, the quizzes were a bit more difficult but if you read the material, you can understand. I took him Summer 2022 and was bummed he didn't teach 1B at that time. Recommend!
