I thought he was always happy to stay after class to discuss anything with students. And he had a grading curve (85% was an A and so on).

If you want to do good in his class, don't screw around. You have to pay attention. He is a good professor if you take class seriously.

This class is hard be ready to work, tests very difficult and they are essay!! however, he is willing to work with you if you are willing to work!

If you put in the effort, you can learn in this class.

decent teacher. makes you work, slackers beware.

A difficult class, but knows what he's talking about.

I don't know if the concept was tough or if he just wasn't a good prof. Either way, the class was difficult. He is somewhat hard to follow and his tests are rough. He is willing, however, to help out and explain concepts until you understand.

He's a good guy. I learned a lot from his class. The subject isn't too exciting, but you'll pass if you try at all.

Tough material, but he is a caring guy. He never puts too much pressure on students. Laid back but no easy A.

if you can understand him, you'll get an A gaurenteed, and you get extra credit if you make smart ass coments a good teacher if you can get him

Brilliant guy, but not for those who want to slack off. Hard tests and confusing grading scale, but I got a lot out of this class.

It does get Better!

Hes a cool guy, i had him for both micro and macro econ and i would take him again, he has a awesome grading scale, 50% is a C, 70% is a B, and 85% is an A. It doesnt get any better. He even gives you a review sheet befor each exam and most of the questions come from the review sheet. His final isnt comprehensive either, it is hard to not do good.

You definitely don't want to take this class early in the morning, because it will be hard to stay awake. Ash is willing to help you if you see him outside of class. His lectures are kind of confusing as well. As long as you do homework you should do fine in the class.

OKay class, boring so wouldn't take early in the mornings. Attend class and try to listen and read the chapter should be alright.

Ash's class is not as exciting as your first kiss, that's for sure, so no mornings. He doesn't deserve such a bad rate. He's a genuinely nice guy who will help you if you ask and always wants to hear his students' opinion. The class is comprised of basically three tests. Do his exam review and it's also helpful to do they studyguide mul choice.

I found this professor has sparked my interest in Economics. He is a well spoken man that welcomes questions on his subject. He teaches real world economics. Challenge his subjet, he shines with knowledge. He is a family man and a real person whom is approachable. If you intend to sleep take a different class; else, participate in class.

Afifi is a good teacher. He really deserves a better rating. He has an amazing grading scale (50%) is a C-. He is a nice guy and if you go to his office he is more than willing to help. Class sucks and is boring but suck it up, because this is a tough subject but Afifi will get you through it.

Has a different type of teaching...more just discussing. But if you pay attention, you will know the material well. If you daydream, you'll be lost.

One of the most intelligent, challenging professors I've taken, but he belongs at an Ivy more than a small public school in northern Michigan. Most kids in class with me couldn't follow his discussions. If you consider yourself in the upper tier of intellect at Ferris, take Afifi.

Good teacher, most material comes from the notes he writes on the board, and that is pretty much whats in the book. Awesome grading scale, and exams weren't to hard.

Professor Afifi is a nice man, he is understanding if you miss an assignment. The homework is long, there was one quiz and the exams were more difficult that the lecture material. Stick to the book and you'll do fine. There is an attendance policy so if you plan on skipping take another professor!

Really good prof. He cares that you learn something. He only has three tests and homework questions. If you do all the question on the homework you get all the points and he'll go over the answers later.

class is boring, i fell asleep most days, didnt read a page in the book or do homework. i got a c+. his grading curve makes it almost impossible to fail. he seemed like a nice guy and would help if you needed it.

Great Professor. Very Intelligent, would incorporate real life econ into class, and grades were on a huge curve (85 was an A)Only downside is that his voice is very soothing, and I almost fell asleep sometimes. Would definitely take again though.

Did not learn a thing but got an A by actively going in during office hours and asking questions during class. Curve in the class really helps as you have no idea what to expect for exams and leave having no idea what just happened. Ask questions and put in the effort for homework and you should be fine, unless you actually want to learn something.

Prep for A+, real life advice that was much appreciated and unfortunately constrained by the schools mandatory outline for the class which is boring but if you have experience with computers it will be easy, if you have none you will have to work very hard.
