Professor held lectures virtually and used iClicker to keep track of attendance and give us pop quiz questions during class. He lectures fast, so I just took notes from his PowerPoint slides. Homework can be tricky, especially since the questions had limited attempts. Professor made study guides for quizzes and exams which were very helpful.

When it comes to intro classes, he's pretty good at it. But for econ 344, he was so confusing and the homework was super hard. Honestly, the only way I passed was having a study group. If you work with your classmates, this class is manageable, other than that, it was really hard.

Really funny and good classes, I'll say its hard to take notes because he writes his own notes in class so theres really no slides that he goes over (there are slides you can use outside of class) Pretty few graded things so make sure you study- as well as 2 midterms and a final.

The midterms and final are basically the study guide provided by him. If you can do the study guide, the tests are a walk in the park. Lectures are boring, but you can relearn the material through the homework assignments. Attendance is mandatory through iClicker.

This guy is literally one of the funniest/best profs you'll ever have. he's super easy to talk to and makes tons of jokes! my vocal stim from his class is "let's close the poll" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 if u can take him, u should but beware his practice exams are nothing like the actual ones, but that doesn't mean his exams r hard, it's all conceptual

The professor is very nice. He cracked a lot of jokes throughout his lectures which kept class entertaining. I know a lot of students are weary about him when they start class with him, but trust me, you'll learn to love him.

Best econ teacher! He basically sets you up for success by giving SO MUCH extra credit. If you've never taken an econ course before the material can be confusing so it requires some study outside of class but his reviews and study guides are so helpful. I liked his class a lot because no other teacher gives extra credit like he does.

If you need to take ECON 120 or 121, take him for both if you can! Makes everything extremely easy to understand, questions on the study guide are practically the same on exams, and helps give extra credit from assignments and iClicker. All you have to do is put in the work, and the class will be a breeze.

I have never taken an economics class but this was honestly such a great first experience. I did struggle in the start but he gives so many resources in able to do well in the course. He is very specific on what will be on the exam and his lecture notes are super helpful, I would take this class again 100%.

He's an alright professor. He knows what he's talking about, although he can talk really fast. However, he at least helped me when I saw him once, when none of the tutors showed up. He also has so many extra credits, & lets us make 3 notecards for the midterms & 5 for the final.

Behzod is an outstanding professor who genuinely cares about his students. As long as you do the work, do extra credit, and focus in class, you can't score below a B. DO EXTRA CREDIT!!!!

So many issues: talked too fast (and his thick Uzbek accent did not help), either underexplained or overexplained which led to confusion, cannot keep eye contact to save his life, and he does this really annoying pen tap on his desk to get people to quiet down, and it makes me want to put my head through a wall! DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!

Very easy to follow along with his teaching style. He has a heavy accent however it doesn't really get in the way with him teaching.
