SUPER EASY CLASS! anyone that says differently does not pay attention. He is extremely flexible. I missed a whole week of class, as long as you tell him in advance he should be fine with it. the whole grade has points from each exam, test, and quiz. As long as you do well in one area and get enough points you will be fine.

Hybrid onlineclassroom format. I liked his lecture style - he's funny and makes a dry topic interesting with relevant, real world examples. He is much easier to understand than the textbook. Tests are open book but still challenging with graphing, math, etc. Offers plenty of extra credit, sometimes just for being in class. I'd take him again.

I wouldn't take this course again because of MyPearsonLab. Overall, the professor is knowledgeable in Economics and can communicate effectively, however the majority of work isn't done on Canvas or McGrawHill where convenience is present. MyPearsonLab makes learning Economics more difficult than it should be. 7/10

I'm not even done with this class yet and I wish I was able to drop out. I tried to leave the second week but was unable to. Pearson MyLab makes everything so much more difficult / doesn't use canvas. Most of his classes are just lecture definitions and 2-3 examples on how to do the math formulas. Overall, I would not take this class if I were you.

Professor Rosario is so funny. The material is kinda boring but he makes it really fun. Homework is 25 multiple choice questions and there are 3 exams. there is tons of extra credit that he gives. Also he would give us extra credit for just showing up to class sometimes. It's a very easy A. Also if you miss a day you can watch his lecture online.

Professor Rosario keeps the class fun despite the dull material. The homework is easy, and there's plenty of extra credit. unstuckstudy and the recorded lectures really helped me prep for exams. Overall, a pretty straightforward A.

Hard to follow, as he made many mistakes during video lectures. The material that was on the assignments and quizzes had very little to do with tests and exams. He did allow 2 attempts on tests and exams which did help. This was also a summer class and we did 2 chapters per week which was very intense.

Really liked his class. Would definitely do again. Material is interesting, everything he says in class is in the tests. Materials are clear, will explain if you didn't get something. Makes his lessons fun and interesting.

The professor is rude. Work load is okay until the professor assigns an exam and locks it and when you have an issue doing the exam and can't even start it, the professor will not help you with it and say it's your problem. Because of this, I ended up with a grade letter, D in the class. This professor will not give you a second chance and is rude.

Prof. Rosario is awesome. Little homework. Textbook was free & online. Not much reading. The exams are what most of your grade is comprised of (3 exams, each worth 20% of your grade), you NEED to study for those. Weekly homework is easy. Lecture heavy but he makes them interesting and applicable to real life.

Every class is a lecture, but they are really involved. He goes on a lot of random stories but they are funny and connect to topic. expect 10-15 question quiz and 2-3 short answer each week. some weeks he doesn't bust most he does. He's a professor that's been there forever so not as formal and cracks lots of jokes at just about anything. free txb
