He is a very good teacher, who wants his students to learn! Its so refreshing to have a teacher who actually enjoys teaching. You don't need to buy the book, he gives you packets!

He loves to teach. He really cares if his students are learning and will help you if you need it.

Very entertaining and funny, really loves his subject and genuinely wants students to learn. He has a pretty strong Cuban accent, but I don't think anyone in my class has a problem understanding his English.

One of my fav. prof. ever. Really cool and friendly guy. Asks alot of questions in class but just play dumb and you'll be alright. Tests were pretty hard but packets helped alot. Got an A.

I loved him! He loves teaching so much. He is funny in his own way, very cute in a grandpa kind of way. His class is not hard. He takes attendence, but it counts as a good part of the final grade... It is possible to get b's on the midterm and final and an a or a- in the class

An enthusiastic professor who loves the subject has a noticeable accent and his test can be a little weird. But by taking good notes and attending class you can do well. Sit in front of class and make sure he knows your name. It's in benefit to you that he does!

Very passionate about teaching! Will stop to make sure everything is understood. Very thorough in his lectures. You have to study to get an A, which I didnt do either, but it was a good class. it wasnt easy but its really not as hard as it sounds

This was my 2rd time taking this class.First time i got a D and didnt understand anything. I wish i would have taken him first.Such a nice man and is highly intelligent. Anyone who didnt understand him must not have gone to class or wasn't coherent,it's called listening!Accent is not bad at all.Take him if you want to learn and pass.

Tough in the fact that you only have two tests to make your grade. Attendance is worth 30% and each test worth 35%. So if you screw up a test its bad news. Very enthusiastic about teaching, however. Nice and respectful guy also.

TAKE MORALES! Truly cares about his students, will stop at nothing to make sure everyone understands. He posts all the notes on Blackboard and although your grade is 2 tests and participation, the tests arent bad if you pay attention in class and at the review sessions, 'seminars.' One of the best professors I've had, worth the trip to the loop!

I would recommend students to take as economics professor. Although, grades are mostly based on Mid-term and Final--35% each and 30% participation and attendence.

By far the BEST teacher at DePaul. The guy is really smart, and you can really tell he loves this subject. I will probably take him for every Economics class I have. He also wrote a really awesome book about his journey from Cuba.

Excellent teacher!! He really goes above and beyond what any other teacher does as far as explaining the material. He cares about his students and wants to give them all A's. If you do the work and read, ull get an A.

Prof. Morales-Pita is the best. He is a man of passion, and it's quite obvious he has a passion for teaching. He explains economics extremely well, and will continue to go over something until he is sure it is understood by everyone. He wants to be there and makes me want to be in class too. A man of rare intelligence and class, he is a pleasur

Probably one of the best professors I've had at DePaul so far. He goes out of his way in order to help his students understand the material. He is very smart, and has ALOT of credentials (just google his name). Get on his good side, participate in class, ask questions when you don't understand and you will do just fine.

Took him for 105 and taking him for 106. He knows the material inside and out. Midterm and Final count for most of total grade and he attendance counts for the rest. He is a sweet old man and his book is very good. I recommend this class to students who have a good work ethic and are smart--not for those seeking an easy A and are lazy.

Whoever is trashing this guy is crazy. He's not arrogant, he's proud to have survived a tough life as an immigrant. He's actually a very easy grader, and had I had a B+ for most of the class. He cares about you and will always try to help you. I reccomend him with flying colors; you won't regret it.

He was a really good professor you just have to pay attention he is very helpful and he tries really hard to make you understand he has a accent though but you'll get used to it

Really good professor.. Loves what he teaches and is good at it. He's cuban so he puts alot of personal information in so you really get an idea of how things effect countries.. I enjoyed his class and I would take another with him. I learned alot.. Stuff that I can use even out of school.. things just make sense.

One of the best teacher that I know. He cares about his students so much. He will explain you whatever you dont understand until you can explain it to him. And if you study the seminars before the exam you should be fine. And I took Macro 106 and it was the same thing so take him awsome professor....

He is diffficult to get used to, but after a few weeks it got more clear. The midterm and final arent impossible, but you have to study a lot for both. Do the online quizes they really help you prepare. Overall a good professor. He wants you to do well.

Great guy, great teacher. He is VERY passionate about what he teaches. Always kept my attention, and wanted to see everyone in the class do well. No written homework. 1 project, required readings, but they arn't that bad. Probably my favorite teacher at DePaul so far.

If you want an easy A, then take a different professor. If you want to learn important economic ideals and be prepared for the business world, then take this guy. Even if you are a non-business mager, he really makes you understand economics. He is a little difficult to understand, but you'll get used to it. I still remember what he taught me.

Very passionate about his work. he tries to explain everything clearly, but most times, its better to zone him out, and just read the book. tests are heavily weighted on essay, so make sure you understand the concepts. overall, not too bad, could be better.

He is a very intelligent and demanding professor. People need to stop complaining about college being difficult. He has really high standards, many kids dropped after midterm which is 35% of grade and almost no one got and A. However, not impossible. If you like econ and are good at it you can get an A. Highly recommended for serious students.

First of all let me say that the negative comments about his English is just plain ****!!! He does have an accent but so does a lot of other professors. He is very intelligent and he is passionate about his subject very approachable always willing to help. But you have to do ur part come to class and study. I got an A cause i paid attention!!

For anyone who doesn't like coming to class...don't ...he's very clear on that. Attendance is mandatory and makes up part of your grade. These other comments are completely false. I took him for Micro and Macro and he is one of my favorite professors. If you get to know him and study out of class and understand the concepts you will do fine. H

He was a great professor, he may be hard to understand at first all you have to do is listen and come to class!! Its very important that people remember this is college not high school you must put forth effort to get a good grade i did and I got an A and it wasnt hard

This professor dedicates all his time to making sure that everyone understands and is involved in class. The material is well explained and the tests are more than fair. For those who do not attend or don't listen, then they cannot comment as to his quality. A great professor, easy to understand and very helpful.

What a joy to be in his class! It takes a lot for me to like a professor, and he's done it! Very knowledgable, adorable old guy. His class is very interesting and he's actually quite funny! Myself and some other students actually wrote a letter to the department recommending him to teach more classes. Got an A in the class, just do your work.

To the previous poster, you must be a real slacker to have done that poorly on such an easy exam. Or maybe you are just plain, er, ah, how do I say this in a nice way, dumb? I am glad you dropped the course. Now us serious students won't have to waste time with you whiny types.

he's really funny and is willing to help you if you need help. He really does try to be a good professor. I liked him, but he's not easy either.. You have to study and really pay attention.

He really knows his stuff. A lot of his knowledge comes from personal experience, which makes the class interesting. He expects a lot from you, but if you make sure to come to class you won't fall behind. He has a very strong accent. That just makes him memorable=)

Professor Morales Pita is a great professor, although his accent seems like it is a problem, he takes the time to speak clearly and consisely in Global Connections. He is very helpful and keeps the class interesting with his stories about Cuba and other places he's lived. He also tries to crack jokes which makes the class laugh. :D

He is an interesting character... MAKE SURE to do the online quizes it really adds up in the end... He is strict on attendance and being on time... He tells fun stories and if you bring up cuba he'll have something to say... overall GREAT Professor I'm taking another class with him next semester!

He really wants people to engage economics. Always there to help, won't let you sit in class and say nothing. Makes you work for your grade, so it isn't a blow off class. Yes he has an accent, but you don't have to be Cuban to understand what he is saying. He wants you to learn and does everything he can for you to do well, recommended.

Great Professor! You have to work hard in his class, but you will understand the material if you do the work. He is very committed to his student's success, and quick to respond to email. He is sometimes hard to understand, but teaches the material very well.

He is kinda tough but study and pay attention! He goes fast but if you read the material before hand and study afterwards, you will do fine. The midterm and final were pretty easy if you study. Attendance is mandatory and he does not curve grades at all. You need to do a quiz online for every chapter you cover.

Really good guy

Very smart and caring individual. I never bought the textbook because he just writes everything on his powerpoint slides. Only homework is to read his powerpoints off of blackboard and the 2 study guides. A midterm, final, and project are the only real work.

Such a good teacher! He's so passionate and it makes everything easier to understand and fun. I learned so much! As long as you keep up with the reading, you'll be fine. Definitely recommend anything he teaches.

Took this class for my modern society requirement. It ended up becoming my favorite class, he taught me all the basics to economics. Very passionate, personal and qualified professor. Loved going to his class and the class discussions. Recommend you take this professor.

AMP has a different teaching style, but its one that is suited to learning this. He makes you think, trying to get you to think through a problem and attempt to answer rather than just sitting and listening. Pay attention, read the ppts, and show up to class! He's super sweet and funny, and quite helpful if you ask.

Great professor! Very smart man with a lot to teach! Top 5 professors at DePaul! He is a sweet old man who has a lot to teach! The class is a lot easier if you do all of the readings assigned.

Great teacher! Just be sure to actually read and complete any assignments his gives. Participation is also a plus!

I wasn't participating much in the beginning. Professor Morales-Pita pulled me aside and told me he was going to call on me more. That scared me, obviously, but it actually made me prepare more thoroughly for class, which in turn got me a better grade in class. He cares and will do what he can to help you succeed.

He really means well, but his teaching style is old school. He will force you to learn the material or you will not pass. Expect to read at least 100 -150 pages a week. Expect quizzes in almost every class. Attendance is mandatory. Participation is necessary, but if you do not understand something he will take the time to explain it.

He's tough, but he's probably one of the best professors at DePaul. He pushes you and encourages you to participate in class, which actually helps in the long run. If he sees that you're struggling with the material he will take the time to explain it. Make sure you read because there are daily quizzes.

Amazing teacher for Eco 363. I highly recommend him.

He is a very caring and sweet professor. He encourages everybody to participate and pay attention in class. If you do this you will not have a hard time doing well. Lectures are not always clear but if you ask questions he will try his best to help you understand.

One of the greatest professors I've had. While it is no where near an easy A, his teaching style really promotes a deep understanding of the material as oppose to memorizing it. Furthermore you can see the passion he has for the subject and his students on a daily basis. If a business major take him, if looking for an easy A I wouldn't.

The nicest and most earnest professor you can take at DePaul. He genuinely wants you to succeed. I've taken Marco once before but dropped it because it was just too hard. Professor Morales-Pita goes out of his way to make sure you understand the concept and is AMAZING at explaining things. Hardest exams I've ever taken, also don't be late or skip.

He is such a kind and sweet man! His accent is heavy so you do have to work to understand him, but he is extremely knowledgeable and teaches his students real world things. Hes all about punctual attendance, so if you tend to come to class late then dont take him. Otherwise, hes a really great teacher! Solid choice
