The worst professor in the world, doesn't teach a thing, can't understand him. Doesn't try to be helpful. Doesn't answer questions directly, goes around the point, but never actually hits it. Quizzes are hard, all answers sound the same.

This class is so confusing. His notes don't makes sense. He is very unhelpful!

Hardest teacher for econ, got a 2.6 in class for macro and in micro with someone else I got a 4.0 and studied less for micro. Tests are impossible questions all possible answers.

AVOID THIS CLASS!!IM AN "A" STUDENT AND THIS CLASS MESSED UP MY GPA. STUDIED COUNTLESS HOURS AND CANT DO WELL ON THE TESTS! THE TESTS ARE NOT STRAIGHT FOWARD AND VERY DIFFICULT. ONLY 3-5 PEOPLE DO BETTER THAN A B.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF!!! If you want to really understand ECN find someone else. No homework and 6 test. Not clear at all and test are tricky. I took in winter and his extra help is just as confusing as lectures. If you care about your GPA avoid him if a 2.0 is good enough for you test your luck.

horrible, only 5 quizes the whole semester, and the info to be tested on is not clear, even if you think your a good test taker, beware. would no suggest, very unclear, and gets off topic often, Does not offer much help for students either.

one of the worst teachers ever. don't let how nice and cool he is fool you. his lectures so boring only a select few students can stay awake. he isn't very clear on anything he teaches and sometimes goes over the same thing over and over again. he grades very hard and his tests are the worst part. his class will bring your gpa down.

boooorrrriiiinnnngggggggg and his tests are so tricky and hard. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. ANY OF THEM!!!

Unclear, boring. Cannot speak American! You will fail!!

WOW! I Graduated 10 years ago and will never forget Mr Sahu! Didn’t matter how much you studied, his test were always off base. Several questions on the final had a double negative to trick people up. I think Mr Sahu needs to be reminded he’s an Economics teacher and should ONLY test for Economics. Mr Sahu is terrible at taking feedback. Clearly he hasn’t listened to any of it in the past 10 years.

NEVER TAKE THIS TEACHER! HE'S THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD... HARD TESTS... NOT VERY GOOD AT HELPING UNDERSTAND UNCLEAR SITUATIONS.

WORST TEACHER EVER!!! DONT TAKE EVEN FOR A LAST RESORT!

The absolute worst professor I have ever had. Tests, lectures, and text had absolutely no relation to one another. It does not matter how intelligent you are, how hard you study, or how much time you spend reviewing your materials...unless you have some odd talent in the area of economics and can guess with Dr. Sahu, you will end up dropping.

nice guy knows a lot but very unstructured. you will do a hw and not get it back until the semester end. dont get the WSJ just go online and find the info on the web save yourself $$ never needed it. tests are kind of stupid and even if you study he has the most random questions. if you want to gamble w/your gpa take him. can't say i learned much

He can be a funny guy but his lectures are boring and unstructured. Its hard to take notes in his class because its so unstructured.

Sahu is a nice guy but it sucks to be in his class. He is so hard to understand and he writes his notes with a weird marker thing that is impossible to read. His test questions make no sense.

i love the subject of macro but he is a HORRIBLE professor. never responds to emails, lectures are a heavy accent riddled mess, exams are nothing like what he says they will be, and the book doesnt even help! going to his office hours does nothing, he goes off on a tangent and when you try to bring him back to the question he still wont answer.

I never wanted to off myself in a classroom so bad. First of all, this professor's primary language is not English, so good luck understanding him. Second of all, you better be ready for unorganized lectures that don't cover exam material. Lastly, be ready for no exam review guides, no utilization of Moodle, or answers to E-mails.

Any good reviews on here must have been written from professor Sahu himself. If you want a horrible outlook on macro-economics, please take this class. The horrifying minutiae lectures will eventually lead to his unorganized test preparations, which will lead to failure. Pointless statistical homework assignments have no correlation with exams. GL

this professor is absolutely ridiculous. tough grader, hardly any assignments to make up points. tests do not relate to ANY of the information provided in class. the teacher is hard to understand. overall, get a different professor for this class if you want to pass. the first day he stated that average grade a student receives is a 2.9.

Very unorganized, not helpful, unclear, you have to do everything yourself, and doesn't send e-mails until last minute

Very difficult to understand and I needed to go home and study that much more because I did not retain anything from his lectures.

not the best but the only one who teaches the class so good luck!

Worst class I have taken at Oakland University. His lectures are extremely disorganized, and on the first day, he passed out SEVEN PACKETS of stuff about the class. Using paper has never bothered me so much. He also makes you do weekly reports which are completely useless. Don't bother trying to email him- he'll just respond a week later.

He is the worst professor I have ever taken. He refused to tell anyone what their grade was saying it is easy to calculate even though we did not get any assignments back. I still am not sure if I passed or not. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

do not take this class with this prof, his accent is so thick you cannot understand him. his notes are absolutely terrible and are no help. no clue what my grade in the class is. gives out extra credit for answering in class thats about it. doesn't reply to emails. 0/10 do not recommend

I never knew my grade the whole semester, I should pass. I went to his office hours twice and asked what my grade was and never received a response. He often lectures about the great depression which was never on a single exam. To pass you need to learn the material yourself because his lectures have nothing to do with the material on the exam.

By far the WORST professor I've had at OU. Didn't post grades/update Moodle ONCE during the semester. Doesn't respond to emails. Can't understand him. Lectures are all over the place. Notes are chicken scratch. Didn't respond to email asking for grades til advisor & dean intervened. When he did, it was "Do the homework and you'll pass." Total joke.

I should've listened to the reviews... Grades never posted until finals and exams that are not even close to lecture notes. This is basically a self-led class where you show up only because you have to. He was 15 mins late to the final exam, and honestly no one can understand what he is saying. Taking this class was an awful decision on my part

Anandi Sahu is hands down the hardest professor I have ever had. His lectures consist of chicken scratch and abbreviating every word. He teaches totally different material in class then whats on the exams. He puts questions on the tests and exams that he just expects you to know about the economy. If you respect your GPA then avoid this class.

I would never choose to take a class with this professor again, not only is his writing awful, but the only purpose to showing up to lectures is attendance and understanding what statistics you're supposed to know for the tests/quizzes. Honestly just read the book, it's more useful than the professor.

Taking his economics class made me change my major. His lectures are painful to follow, and the only resources he provides are his own notes that are barely legible. Two tests make up 80% of the grade and he asks that you remember obscure current economic data, while not specifying which figures. I would avoid him at all costs.

Professor Sahu is an ok professor but the way he teaches doesn't work for me. His classes are very lecturer heavy with the lectors being about 3 hours long and very boring. Stuff that he goes over on the lecture is conflicting with the book and he is a very late grader. I would recommend to save your money and take a different professor.

He never says when due dates, never responds to emails, needs to know many statistics for this class and doesn't cover much within the class. Covers one subject within the entire class time. For the final review he does not give one, He did hold a review session but does not give actual statistics for exam that we will need to know.

I have never had a worse experience with a professor. He was disorganized, bad note taking, no class structure and impossible to follow what was happening. Rules changed on a day-day basis and were not outlined in the syllabus. Would never take again ever.

I have never delt with an instructor so unorganized. He never responded to my emails in a timely manor. Every question I asked him in class, he gave the response that he will let us know. he would always switch due dates for HW and he never went over it. What he teaches in class is nothing like the homework or exams. I could go on forever.

Professor Sahu tried to make lectures entertaining, however they were extremely long and boring. You're also tested on current economic data and obscure historical facts regarding the economy. I highly recommend you study everything in the textbook, no matter how unimportant it may seem.

A thick accent and poor handwriting make his long lectures unbearable. He made a sudden shift to virtual which changed the grading scale and he made no effort to help students that struggled in an online setting. The exams will require spending time looking over current data that he barely covers. The SI was more informative than the actual class.

Unfortunately unavoidable. Average test score is 50% (he does curve). Exam questions not on lecture or book material. Form a study group and learn the graphs - tests have some essay questions. Maybe take a free supplemental course. Take notes on random statistics he says in class. Memorize the random data. You'll need all of it. Good luck.

I learned absolutely nothing in this class at least with this professor. Nothing on the Homework reflected anything that was taught in class. He does not respond to emails and he is very unorganized. I will be retaking this class with someone else over the summer or in the fall.

There are 3 exams and a lot of homework. The exams have nothing to do with the homework and what he teaches. The accent made it so hard to learn. He does not answer questions just repeats the question to u.

If you are trying to learn or if you are trying to pass this class, I would not recommend this professor.

I'll start by saying this guy loves economics, with that being said he isn't good at teaching it. this class would need to be your #1 priority or else you'll have trouble passing, its very hard to learn from him and his lectures drag on for a long time. i would not take this class if you have a choice, hes a great guy to ask questions to.

I am in the 3.5 hour class, where he would only lecture with PowerPoint, which he would never finish within the class period. Besides, after taking attendance, over half of the class was gone. If you can take a different professor, I would recommend taking someone else. Final is on paper!

Class was graded by exams, one quiz, and homework. Attendance was mandatory but the professor would let you mark your attendance, until he got rid of it. Don't take the 3.5 hour class, it's dreadful. Exams are very hard, and contain stuff not discussed in class. The professor knows a lot of what he teaches, but cant communicate it to the students.

This class was frustrating. Only one of six required quizzes was given, notes were disorganized, and tests didn't match lectures. His strong accent made concepts hard to follow, he rarely answered emails, and struggled to clearly explain the material. Altogether Professor Sahu is very polite and knowledgeable but he struggles to teach the subject.

He's a horrible professor and don't know how to teach.
