nice guy, decent teacher. He was pretty slow with his teaching and we didn't get started till 15 minutes in which kidna screwed us over at the end. Was wayy too unclear on the final exam and just said 'know everything'. I would go to his class again.

Ben is great, if you have a study buddy in this class it helps, however, Ben is really helpful and friendly. I would recommend him over other econ professors.

Not a bad class he's a nice guy reasonable with marks and if you pay attention he explains stuff quite clearly.

decent prof, wouldn't go out of my way to get him but there's much worse out there

He is a great prof!!!!!! He makes economics easy,take this class with him!!

Good proff the only thing with benji is that you have to attend the class so you understand the material plus you get bonus marks for just showing up! when it comes to exam Benji is a fair marker sometimes he will give you marks just for effort! If I had to take the class again I would still pick Ben

Ben has a strong knowledge of economics and its clear in his lectures. He takes the time to make sure every student understands, which is time consuming sometimes, and is very flexible to student requests. If you go to class and pay attention, you dont need to study much. Overall an easy class. I would recommend Ben to other students.

If you're taking economics I'll advice you to take Mr Ben's class He's the best economics prof u can ever roll with. Economics will be ur favorite after u're done this class with him. You dont got no choice than take his class if seats are still open in it

Good overall prof, helpful with exams

Ben is a great teacher. Very helpful and if you participate in class he will do his best to give you a good grade. The only bad thing about this class was that he teaches the first chapters really slowly and in depth and by the end of the semester he rushes through a lot really important things that are on the final exam.

One of the best profs i've had, he actually cares how the class is doing and goes over everything in good detail.

Good teacher overall, fair on marking. Takes a little to get used to his accent, has clear writing on the board. Sometimes focuses on very simple parts of the calculation when he could entertain more advanced concepts.

Good teacher, nice guy.

Good guy, definitely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Course moved slow in the beginning and tends to focus to much on smaller concepts. Overall for as much as economics is a boring class I found it enjoyable due to Ben's teaching. He is a little hard to follow due to his slight accent and kind of talks in circles sometimes.

Good guy, very approachable and always comes to class with an enthusiastic attitude. Ben is also very knowledgeable and a fair marker. I recommend!!!!

Ben is an awesome professor very fun and easy to talk to he is really there l make sure you do well as a student

Excellent teacher. Provides prompt feedback via email. The Myeconlab and Maple TA resources provide all you need for an A. Highly recommend!

Great guy, good teacher

Great teacher. Has a thick accent that can be hard to understand some of the time, but he takes the time between concepts and encourages questions. Very friendly and accommodating. Read the text book before lectures and it will be a breeze.

Great Prof! Sometimes his accent can affect some words more than others, but still incredibly clear while explaining theories. His notes are great, and he's so friendly, approachable, and has a great energy in class. Highly recommend Ben as a prof!

Great prof, goes out of his way to help. Unfortunately the tests he gives lack congruity with the material he teaches in class and his teaching style can be really dry.

Ben is one of the best profs at MRU. He's a really fair grader; provides opportunities to make-up testsquizzes; grants extensions; and is generally very friendly and approachable. He was careful to take extra time to explain more complex concepts, and held sufficient office hours for you to ask questions outside of class.

Ben is a really good prof. i really enjoyed his lectures and i started to like ECON because of him. he's very clear on what is going to be on the quizzes or exam and he's also a fair marker. Mind you, ECON is not a class you want to skip. regardless of who your prof is, its not wise to skip the class.

He is always there to help. I have randomly popped into his office to ask many questions. His downfall is the online tests and his powerpoint slides, they are both very different so its hard to know the expectations and the midterm was very hard(lots of memorization). MUST GO TO CLASS. He takes attendance.

Ben is an awesome prof! he is a super nice guy and he really knows his stuff, you can ask him anything involving economics and he will give you a good answer. the course is a little dry but Ben is an awesome professor.

Ben is a very kind individual. He is very knowledgable, and tries to make difficult material as easy to understand as possible.

One MyEconLab based off a chapter in the textbook a week. Final and midterm were based on MyEconLab and all written was already practiced in class. He is very kind and the questions you get tested on is something you've seen before. Follow along every week and its almost impossible to fail. He is the best!

Ben is a great prof. Econ was not an easy class but Ben is always willing to answer questions and gives you extra time on assignments if you need.

Ben can be hard to understand and his notes can be kind of confusing. Posts very easy assignments online that are very similar to the midterm and final. Try and pay attention the best you can in his class and you will do well!

Ben is very nice and awesome at explaining the concepts and the math. He uses in class examples that are useful in study and the econ homework. However, his exams are very heavily theory based - so you must thoroughly read every word of your text book to understand it. Attendance is mandatory, but you want to be there for every econ class anyways.

This proff is vary caring and wants his students to do well. Also vary passionate about Economics and can relate the course work to real life situations. I didn't exactly love his extra online quizzes and i found them way harder then what was learned, but he's always there to help. He says to get the text, but I didn't use it once .

Ben is alright. His online assignments were decent, he gave us a lot of examples which made them relatively straight forward to complete. His lectures did not include enough theory in them, which meant that answering some questions on the final/midterm was difficult unless you heavily studied the textbook. Online are rough in general.

One of the profs who has actually taken his time converting his lectures from in person to online well. The labs you do in class are almost exactly the ones you will see on the tests. His notes are very helpful and takes his time to explain the content easier.

Ben is one of the most understanding professors you can have. He will help you when you need it and wants you to do well. He is also super nice. His quizzes are very specific although you can do well if you work hard. My only piece for complaint is that he has little to no formative assignments which makes it really hard to study for exams.

ben is singlehandedly the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning form in my entire life. ECON is the hardest subject I've ever had but ben makes it so easy with his explanations. best professor in the entire school hands down

Ben is a great prof. Super caring and is open to helping students who are attending class regularly. Will take this prof again.

Ben cares a lot about his students, he is really passionate about the topics within the class and wants all his students to succeed. Bens teaching style is great with time for questions with in the lectures. 1103 is a challenging course with a lot of work, reading the textbook and doing the homework to be successful will help. Would take Ben again!

Ben is one of my favorite professors that I have had, he is so passionate about economics which really brings his lectures to life. The content is quite difficult so going to class is a MUST. If you want to do well on the quizzes, buy the textbook. Ben is so caring and wants his students to do well, he does what he can to help his students succeed.

Economics may not be the easiest subject, though Ben has helped me quite a lot with this lecture. He has shown me that he cares about his students passing, and if you email him or talk to him after class with an issue, he will respond effectively and accordingly. You will have to read and study the textbook efficiently if you want to pass, however.

Ben is a very good and understanding prof, I found his class very straightforward and not complicated. He made his worksheets very easy, as we would go through them in class, though you need to read the textbook. Unlike most students on here, you need to go to class if you want a good grade, you can't skip lectures and expect a decent grade.

This man was one of the best teacher I've had, he is always helpful and does everything that he can to ensure that you understand what is is he is teaching.He always responds to emails within the day, and whenever you ask him for help he does everything he can to help. The course can be hard but ben makes it interesting and as fun as possible. NVM

Economics is a hard course, however, Ben makes it very simple to understand. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed, and is always open to criticism to make the course better. Show up to class and you'll do great!

He's a great teacher who does his best to help prepare students to do well in macroeconomics.Most of the bad reviews for him to do with the course itself and not with the professor. Only thing I have to say is that you need to attend lectures to do good (which seems like common sense). The course is pretty hard but Ben teaches it very well

Good econ teacher overall. If you show up and pay attention, you'll be allright.

Excellent teacher who was very fair! My favorite professor!

Macroeconomics in particular is a very hard-to-understand course. However, Ben makes it simpler to understand. He cares for his students and answers most questions when you ask him. Attending at this class is a key to success.

The course is heavy material yet Ben teaches it in an amazing way with the lecture notes followed by tutorial worksheet which is the same as Mobius assignment. so it is easy to get a good grade. He is very lenient and helps you. SERIOUSLY TAKE HIM FOR MACRO, BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PROF I HAVE TAKEN. AND IM PRETTY DUMB IN MACRO MYSELF BUT I LOVED IT

Mobuis assignments make up 24% of your grade and all of them are free 85% as long as you show up to lectures as he basically does them for you. His quizzes are pretty hard as they are based on the textbook which he only mentions once at the start of the course so make sure to have it. Nice guy though and always answers questions.

I like Bens laugh its awesome! Ben is reasonable but his class is challenging.

Ben is a good Prof, if you are doing his assignments and reading the textbook his lectures make a lot more sense. His tests are hard (Mid-term and Final) but they are weighted lightly. More of a assignment orientated Prof. Make sure to come to class for his practice questions at the end of chapters as that will help you succeed in his assignments.

Reviews surprised me. Ben is a great prof his laugh is funny, comes across as very genuine. There's lots of assignments, both midterm and final were challenging but keep up with the work, the course is very manageable. I really enjoyed Ben's class. He teaches well, he can be a bit hard to understand, follow with the textbook makes class more clear.

Ben is a very nice prof and he cares about his students. He is willing to answer any questions you have after class and will make sure you understand it. The course content could be better, but its not Ben's fault that the Econ department at MRU is a joke. Calculus should be a prerequisite so that theory can be fully discussed.
