Makes students work hard, but is always willing to help.

Gives you everything you need for the test--really knows his stuff

The most challanging teacher I ever had. I really enjoyed it!

People think he's hard but I think he's a very good professor.

A great advisor, very easy to get along with and is a great help with classes

Willing to help if you ask. You have to work to learn with him, but learn lots

he might be a hard teacher but he is a really great teacher

Encourages individual thought, very good teacher

he is nice and his grading scale is awesome

Hard, Yes. But he stimulates your mind. One of the best @ Northwest

ANALYZE! Know the study guide. Prepare for tricky questions. OK professor.

You have to work in his class, but go over his past exams and you'll be fine.

I thought his course was horribly unchallenging. Neat guy though.

Hard class, you have to study, but isn't college supposed to be about studying&#

I took the class one, got an A. You have to study, but this is COLLEGE!!!

Go to the SI sessions regularly and actually study -- that's the way to get an A

This is probably the easiest class that he teaches.

GREAT teacher but very hard. I feel like i've learned alot. Just read the book, do the worksheets and past exams AND study - you should be fine. I

Dr. Collier is one of the best assets Northwest has in their business department. He is very smart and knows what he is teaching and he demands the very best from all of his students. The class is challenging but can be very rewarding.

Class is difficult at times cuz of it's content. He explains it well and is really helpful, most of these complainers r either dumb or aren't willing to work hard enough.

Nothing hard and the exams are easy if u do the worksheets and Go to class evertime....dont miss any classes. My first econ class and I was fine. If u dont go to class then believe the class is very hard.

He is a good teacher, and explains it well. The course material is difficult and complex, and the tests are somewhat hard. You have to be able to understand the material. The old tests great help and are on ecompanion. A lot of people do bad in the course, but that's just b/c they don't study.

Good instructor and enthusiastic and interesting to listen to but after lecture and going over worksheets you will still not feel prepared for tests; especially after taking that 1st test. If you get assigned to him, never miss lecture and know the worksheets and understand Graphs. Drops grad scale

I don't understand why people think he is that bad. He is very helpful. Look over his old tests and your will have at least 50% of the test covered. Go to class, actually do the old tests and the work sheets and you willbe fine.

Dr. Collier was the most CHALLENGING professor I had at Northwest and I mean that as a compliment. Because of him, I learned SO much!! I even became an econ minor-and ONLY took him because I knew he would be so willing to help me out. GREAT ASSET FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN AND BE CHALLENGED; SLACKERS BEWARE!!!

Everyone thinks collier is such a hard teacher. If you study, do the worksheets and go to the S.I. you should pass easily. I am learning great stuff in his class, and he makes you learn it. If your a lazy student that never studies and don't care you will fail! Put some effort in the class and should not have a problem.

I took Econ II with him and had no problem what so ever. I got a 94% in his class. As long as you go to class and listen you should have no problem unless you are an idiot.

I've been reading through these comments and think they're hilarious. I changed my major to econ because of Dr. Collier. Anyone who says he is not helpful has not asked for his help. I took Econ II, Int. Econ, Microeconomic Theory, and Forecasting Business Conditions from him and got an A every time. You do have to TRY, but this is college

Class is not easy, but if you study and read all materials he gives, then you can get an A.

I LOVE BENNY COLLIER!!!!!!!!!!!

helpful

AT first he frustrated me, but after taking three of his classes I feel he made me a better economist. You may not receive an A in all his classes, but i can promise if you really care about learning economics he is the guy to take. As an advisor and a professor he is good he tells it like it is and is straight foreward.Like to learn take his class

I took him for Econ I and I'm taking Econ II with him in the fall now. Good teacher, makes you work, easy to talk to and joke around with about current events.

Super Smart!!! Knows what he is doing. Very nice and willing to help. If you don't study his help might not be helpful because you didn't do your part.Do all the worksheets and ask questions and you should do fine. Don't write notes on what is on his slides, take notes on what he says. Read the book for exams and study worksheets.

As an econ major, this is undoubtedly the toughest class you will have to take. Having said that, it has far expanded my comprehension skills for any sort of econ theory. Heed everything that Dr.Collier says and test him a time or two he's pretty funny and easy going. He has a PhD from a top economics program and was privileged to learn from him.

I took Econ because it was required. I took 2 additional Econ classes because Dr. Collier made it interesting. There are no automatic A's with him, but he makes an A attainable if you want one and study to earn it. I was never bored in class because he is so intelligent that he shares info with a highly entertaining and understandable style. LOVE!

He is tough. If you don't want someone to actually teach you economics and just want to stick to what common sense and the media tells you about economics, don't take his class. He requires you do your part in studying and understanding the material. If you do, he will help. His toughness has helped me study for teh rest of my classes.

He is much better than people on here give him credit for. Yes, it is hard. I barely got an A, literally one point away from a B. You HAVE to put the work in if you want an A, but it can be done. Do everything he assigns even when it's not worth credit. He gives you so much material to help study. I could go on saying good things if I had the room.
