Hunt's a good guy. His jokes are funny. He does mostly read from the Powerpoints, but he gives you plenty of practice problems and many of his test/quiz questions come from his practice tests. Lets you use two pages of notes. In 6pt. type, that ought to be enough room for you to get everything on your "cheat sheat" you'll need to get an A or B.

Keep to the book and you should be fine. Hunt speaks in a conversational tone with no pitch difference; it becomes very difficult to decipher between background information and important material you should know. Hunt may have knowledge of the topic at hand, but has none in how to deliver it and inform. Not a very engaging or interesting class.

Professor Hunt is a really really brilliant economist. Almost too much at times. When talking to the class, he has a tendency to wander into other topics. Almost always what he is talking about is relevant however. Make sure that you are following along in the book somewhat. Willing to help if you ask. If you like Econ I'd say take his class.

Brian is passionate about teaching economics, but since he speaks in such a monotonous conversational tone, it sounds boring and seems like the lecture will never end.

The guy loves economics and enjoys engaging with students. His class is easy (what with allowing cheat sheets for exams and all). At the same time, he isn't good at simplifying the material for those who struggle to understand the material after reading the book. But, the book was easy to follow so maybe there was no helping them anyway.

I got a 107 in the class, but thats because i read the textbook and came to every class. Lecture has nothing to do with tests, but i like that- most intro courses have professors reading off of powerpoints made by the textbook, but hunt talks about current events and things that affect me economically, good lectures. You will need to read the text

Take him no matter what class he offers. Had 3 of his classes so far, best by far. You won't get much from his lectures, but you really don't need to attend classes to pass with an A. Homework is online and that's where most exam questions will come from. Gives an extra credit paper (7%) before each exam. He is very knowledgeable in this field.

Professor Hunt was awesome. I was not interested in what he taught whatsoever. His class is very easy. Just show up to class, do your homework, do his quizzes on time, and do his two extra credit assignment.

Mr. Hunt is a very nice guy. Most of the time nobody has any idea what he is talking about. Good thing you have a book. Also, don't buy his book. You will do fine with the normal textbook. He curved our exams by 10 points. He also gives extra credit papers for each test. They are 10 extra points if you do them. Do them even if you think you don't.

TAKE HIM! You will not regret it!! He has 2 tests, a final, and the unlimited attempt SmartWorks homework. Tests are online and open-book so you can use your notes and an extra computer to take the test. SmartWork is easy because you have unlimited attempts. You should pass even if you don't go to class. His lectures are boring and not helpful.

A few of Mr. Hunt's lectures were amazing, and watching him pace the room as he spoke quickly about our downturned economy was intriguing. However, the majority of his lectures were essentially nonsense, him rambling about quotas, price discrimination, and market inequalities. Tests were online, we used Chegg to get an A. Find another Econ class.

The homework assignments go hand-in-hand with the textbook. They're not hard, but they are quite time-consuming. Hunt's lectures are sporadic and often repetitive. If you can learn the content on your own, do that. This wasn't my favorite class, but it was doable.

Lectures were not very useful and I didn't attend but half of them. There was weekly homework that was okay but the online tests were challenging and required a deep understanding of the concepts, or assistance from Google. Final was tough - he doesn't curve anything or make exceptions for anything. He gives two extra credit paper opportunities.

amazing until the final. didn't use the textbook, but I advise you to use it. He taught nothing. I had an A before the final which was really hard and curved. He gives 2 extra credit opportunities. Do not waste time going to lectures, he rambles. I never attended class because it wasn't helpful. attendence - not mandatory

Prof Hunt knows a lot. Upbeat and loves economics. However, don't believe he was effective at teaching. Hardly anyone came to class because he tends to ramble as others have indicated. Staying on one topic for almost 3 classes was unbelievable. Most students heavily cheated on online exams and then got mad when the in-class final wasn't curved.

Sorry I had to start over again, disregard the first post where it says GOOD. this is my correct rating, yes this class is very stressful, Ive been going to tutoring twice during the same week from 8am until 2pm, the lectures have nothing to do with the test. I also noticed that we would stay on one POWERPOINT slide for at least 30 mins.

He was a nice guy and very approachable, but he is just not a good teacher. You basically have to teach yourself by reading a lot of the chapters in the textbook. The textbook is going to be your best bet to pass the class because his lectures are not helpful. He does give extra credit to add to exams. Lectures are lengthy/ hard to follow.

His lectures are not useful at all. If attendance wasn't mandatory, I would not have gone, because they were not useful I am sure he knows what he is talking about, but he needs to be aware that his students do not have prior knowledge of economics. I basically taught myself the entire class. Luckily he offers extra credit or I would be doomed.

He uploaded practice test questions for each chapter, but a lot of the questions were outdated or from the wrong chapter. He had a few questions on the test that weren't even on stuff we learned. Also, the chapters he put in the modules didn't match the chapters that were on the tests. Disorganized class but dropped the lowest test.

This teacher is amazing! All the answers are online and he gives extra credit for each unit. He is also very nice and gives extensions whenever you want. We do three assignments, one extra credit activity, and one discussion post every week and they are all super easy. I highly recommend taking this teacher!

Taken in the Fall of 2022. Amazing professor and really passionate about Econ. I don't even like Econ and I don't feel that way anymore. Just put some efforts into this course and you should be good with atleast a B.
