Great Professor and person. Goes out of his way to help you understand the material. Quiz about every other class, but not very difficult. Funny, interesting, gets off the subject at hand with stories but all are great. I can't say enough good things about this professor. Only professor I have ever been willing to rate on this wed site.

Personally, I have nothing against the professor. He's entertaining and a good instructor. However, I felt the format (large lecture room with lots of students) made it a lot harder. You won't really gain much understanding from the lectures alone, and have to spend a lot of time outside class figuring how to solve homework problems.

Great professor. Class was not difficult at all to almost everyone I know and do not know. You can get a passing grade easily by doing all the H/W and add that with getting even very average grades on the Exams you can go to even an A. Do not fear failing this class because it's based simply by adding grades numerically not %. Easy slides/lectures

Class is hard if you don't show up to class and understand the material. Assignment due once a week online. They are pretty easy, you have multiple attempts.

Follow the recommended schedule, use your notes, & ask questions when you're stuck - he responds fairly quickly. If you have a basic understanding of the unit content and good notes(1-3 pages, bullets), you'll do fine. Book is 100% optional, did fine without - so it's a good wallet saver. Don't fall behind, catch up is hard & due dates are final.

First and foremost, Goegan is a nerd for math! He has WAY too much fun creating clever math problems. The course probably didn't need as much calculus as it had. Goegan can be blunt, but is also a genuinely fun teach. He makes fun of the subjects and textbook companies (he has a very low opinion of textbook companies).

Sports Econ with Goegan is the best. Some excel assignments that aren't too bad if you like excel. Graded for attendance. Simulation is simply amazing. 1 book report and you've got yourself an A

I wasn't very fond of Prof Goegan or his jokes, the class was challenging I couldn't bring myself to laugh when I was failing. Long story short Economics isn't easy I would compare it to a quantitative science class... you have to understand, decipher, and then apply the information. If you're struggling ask for help, I didn't & I still managed.

Prof Goegan clearly shows that he is interested in his area of teaching so he creates many interesting lectures and provides useful resources. I took his ECN 211 last year and ECN 212 Hybrid this year and essentially to receive an "A" in the class pay attention to material given for online quizzes and go into his office hours for help.

I took this as an elective. I don't recommend taking a hybrid as a freshman, it was challenging to manage time. Definitely go to lectures, office hours & tutoring for help. Quizzes weekly on online videos, 3 online tests & a 300 point cumulative final. Overall it was worth it Brian is great, his lectures are amazing & he cares about his students :)

I don't usually like Economics, but Professor Goegan made this class really enjoyable. The online videos throughout the week really helped get a grasp on certain topics before the lectures on Fridays, so I really suggest watching those if you're in the hybrid class. Math problems were usually pretty tough, and I wish we got more help on those, tho.

Brian is a great professor. I took his hybrid class and it was really easy. 3 open note online exams, one homework every week. If you have critical thinking skills this class is an easy A. His final is worth 30% of the class but really wasn't that bad if you take your time and study for it. He also makes lectures fun and interesting.

The class for the most part is not very difficult. Show up to class, participate during class through Moblabs, and do a 10 question quiz by Friday night. Tests are quiz questions with different numbers and open note. If you need help with the math questions (which was the only difficult part of the course) ask him and he'll help you out.

Goegan's 410 class is nothing short of a challenge. However, the amount of knowledge you walk away with makes it all worth it. Lectures are surprisingly interesting, considering the fact that the material can be dry. But the gem of this class is the main man himself, Goegan. Extremely smart, personable, and witty. Take. this. class.

Goegan is hilarious, brilliant, and down to earth. He understands students better than any teacher I've had. 410 can have dry material but he made coming to class worth it. You'll learn a lot. I wish he taught more econ 400-level classes!!! Take. Him. For. 410.

This is the hardest class I have ever taken hands down. Make sure to really work for the grade you want to get. He's very clear on his expectations and gives a lot of guidelines on homework. If you work for it, you will pass, if you don't, you will fail.

One of my favorite profs at ASU; Goegan is hilarious. There are weekly labs, 1 midterm and a final, as well as a final project. The labs can be very challenging, but are fun. I recommend finding a partner. No extra credit, no curving; but this makes your grade feel so much more rewarding. Highly recommend, you will learn a lot!

Professor Goegan makes class interesting and fun. No textbook is necessary. He will tell you "the internet is your textbook". The class relies heavily on Microsoft Excel for homework assignments. Exams are tough but the reviews beforehand are very helpful. **Beware mac users: the assignment instructions are for pc users. Google provides workaround

Dr. Goegan is one of the few Amazing professors I have had so far. You guys have no idea how he is willing to help when help is needed. His Lectures are the best he gives it on his own way but it is the best. Definitely going to stop by his office every semester and thank him so much for helping me and being such an amazing professor.

He provides clear instructions for the weekly homework. The exams are just like the homework, and the tutoring center on campus will happily walk you through everything you need to know. There is a final project due at the end of the semester, but it is really not a big deal. If you are on the fence about this class or econometrics take this class.

Goegan is a hero. I already loved his class and then he stuck his neck out for students by calling out the Provost for some ridiculous policies that were harmful to students. He got fired for it, but I know he will find a great job somewhere else because he is undoubtedly the most genuine, caring professor I have ever had. Rock on Brian.

Professor Goegan was my favorite economics professor, and he has a clear class structure and grading criteria. His homeworks are difficult, but he provides sufficient directions to complete them. I almost always did my homework in the tutoring center, but I know people who didn't need to. He is the most entertaining lecturer I've had.
