So I walked out of this class senior year thinking I got a D. I ended up with a B+.Thing is if you're willing to read the text a little, copy what he puts up and answer his trivia your fine. Its a good class if you dont wanna be bothered with a lot of course work and can read on your own. DO NOT TAKE if youre not an econ major and dont like reading

Does not have a power point. One of the toughest graders. The lectures are boring. Takes attendance every class. During the Midterm and Final you are writing your arm off . He lets you choose 2 out of however many essay questions on the tests and then choose and define 6 key terms. Just be detailed and write as much as you can and know.

I went into the semester expecting the worst because of these reviews, but they are misleading. Professor Pappas is a kind and reasonable professor. 2-3 chapters of reading a week, presentation on a topic (2 pages max), midterm, and a final. No homework, attendance and participation counts as well. Just dont be lazy and its an easy A.

Ill be honest, I had a 3 hour lecture with him this semester thinking it would be bad, but it was decent. Hes not terrible as most make him out to be. Anyone who gets below a B in this class is just extremely lazy. Getting a 75 will get you an A. Take notes during his lectures and you probably wont even need the textbook(s).
