His class is definitely very difficult, however he is an excellent professor and will likely inspire at least a slight interest in the field of economics (which is quite a monumental accomplishment if you think about it).

yeah, the class was intense for most. hoy certainly isn't the easiest. stay on top of your game in his macroeconomics and microeconomics class, otherwise you'll finish with a C, or possibly lower.

He is the hardest teacher in the school for anythin he teaches.He is a pretty nice guy and willing to help you. He teaches at a very fast pace and you must keep up with the work, otherwise you will not pass.Dont take this teacher unless your hardworking!!

Prof. Hoy is a great professor. Yes, he may be a little fast paced but he explains everything very clearly. If you have questions, he is very helpful. He teaches from not only the suggested book you buy for his class, but from many.

He is fast paced and doesn't like to be interupted. His reviews are vague and he definitely talks down to people at times.

My favorite teacher so far. He is very interesting and a very good teacher that is clear and will help you if you need extra help.

I had professor Hoy for Macro and I really enjoyed the class and economic theory so I took him for Micro also. I got A's in both and he was always helpful. I think he's excellent. His tests are indeed a challenge so if you don't plan on studying and homework, or expect an easy class, then don't take economics at all, it can be a rigorous subject.

he knows what he is teaching. as long you attend class and understand the course, you will do fine. in a 3 hour class, i havent fell asleep yet.

Great teaching method, knows his stuff inside and out!! Keep good notes and you don't even need the book! Tests are easy and he really knows what is going on. Master of explaination!!!!!!

Dr. Hoy is on my top 5 best teachers list. His ratings are mixed, but so are the kids that take his class. If you go into this treating it like some junk social science class, You will hate the teacher and do poorly. However, if you pay attention in class and do his assigned readings you will appreciate him, his knowledge and his methods.

he was a good teacher...the only thing is u need to stay awake during his classes

I took him for MacroEco and I will wait till the semester he teachs MicroEco. It is a hard class but the my hints are *do not miss any of the lectures*, take notes and smtg that really helped me out was to login into the book`s website and do the quizzes. Good Luck!

Good teacher, indeed very hard, but if you take notes and do your homeworks, you will do well. if you want to take him during the Summer, do not take any other classes! A lottttt of work.

I had professor Hoy for Principles of Accounting. I really don't care what any of you think...he's a great professor. If you study for every test and pay attention/take good notes & do all the homework, you will be fine. He is a hard professor and if you come in and blow it off, your going to fail. I got a B in his class. Do ALL the homework!!!

i got a A, but it took so much from me to get this "A".so for anyone else in the future..... no easy A from him. work hard and work harder. good luck. about his attitude, just remember, u are paying to learn not to be his friend.

If you are looking for an easy A, he's not going to breast feed you. If you want to learn the material from a man who knows his stuff, he's for you. Don't be lazy. Go to class, read the book, and do the homework!! If you are serious about going into business, you should take his class.

I took Hoy for MacroEcon and Accounting back to back. This was definitely the easier class, but don't slack off. If you don't show up and do the work, you won't learn the concepts. I used to be a lazy student, and taking 2 classes with him forced me learn how to be serious and work hard. Given the opportunity, I would take him again.

If you can keep up with him you will understand the material. He does everything in outlines and is very organized. His tests however are pretty hard

I found him to be a fair and straight forward professor. Just look through your notes for a few days proceeding a test, try to understand the logic behind the concepts and pay attention in class. It's not hard.

He pretty much is the next big thing with economics

I was very satisfied with the performance of this class. Excellent professor.

Hoy was tough but knows what he's talking about. It seems to me a lot of students don't want to have to study at all outside of class and still expect A's. If you actually want to learn something and earn a decent grade you're going to have to study. I can only recommend Hoy to those who care to learn.

Had him for Econ 1 and now 2. HE IS HARD, but this is because HE EXPECTS YOU TO WORK. His in class lectures cover everything and if you take the time study and can understand the material you actually will do fine, if you have a hard time with the material though, don't bother. Drops lowest test grade. You will LEARN in this class and he WILL help.

Absolutely brilliant guy, just takes a bit of work on the student's part to understand and do well in the class. WORK IS DEFINITELY REQUIRED! This isn't a professor that you can mess around in class and still get A's with... Moderate textbook use, mostly just for tests.

He is definitely not an easy professor but he is more than excellent. His class was the first C i had since I started studying at CCM but I realized that everything depends on the effort you put to it. If you study the material consistently, you will be fine.

Great professor, very clear explanations but also very no nonsense. His test are extremely difficult (the hardest in any class I've had thus far) but he is meticulous in making sure he's covered the material prior. This is not an easy A class but if the field of Economics interests you, you WILL learn a lot from the man.

Dr. Calvin Hoy is extremely intelligent and he's a really nice guy. But if you're not interested in economics, I don't recommend you take him. He pushes through content fairly quickly and his exams are next to impossible.

Professor Hoy is a brilliant economic professor. His didactic lectures are somewhat complicated but very useful in note-taking. He provides some background knowledge and anecdotes in order to connect with students, and once in a while, if you're lucky, he'll crack a condescending joke that, knowing his character, would make anyone laugh.

I took professor Hoy for Economics I and I feel like I've learned a lot from this man. Sure his tests are hard, but if you really want to learn about Economics, he's the professor to take. He's super intelligent, and gets straight to the point. He uses ever minute of class to teach.

This is the best professor at CCM.

U either hate him or love him. I personally really enjoyed his teaching styles. Im not the best note taker but he makes it simple by putting exactly what u need on the board. He is very thorough and reviews concepts lots of times before moving on ensuring everything makes sense. tests r based on notes from board so if u copy down everything ur good

If youre not actually interested in Econ and are just taking for requirements, youll be better off taking someone else. Dr Hoys very well educated, extremely smart, and goes through a lot of concepts pretty quickly. An older friend took him before studying econ at a 4year and said Dr Hoys class was actually harder. Take him if youre serious.

Dr Hoy has the strange belief that student come to class because they want to learn. Dr Hoy May be the greatest Professor I have ever had; I just think he may have been better suited for actual Harvard - not Harvard on the hill.

I took Professor Hoy online for Econmics II in the Spring time and he was absolutely amazing! He would send email reminders regarding when homework and tests would open and close. He replies to emails very quickly so he is reliable when it comes to needing a question to be answered. You will not regret taking his class!

This professor only assigns exams so you have to do well on the exams to achieve a good grade. I enjoyed this class this semester and would take it again. He is a fun, great, outgoing person that always brightened up my day.

I did not get econ but I took prof. Hoy and he saved my life! All the notes and reading the materials makes a lot of sense and way easier to understand the subject. Since it was all remote it was pretty easy to do and a lot of time was given. Just do the homework and you should be fine! It was a bit hard to know what chapters were on the tests tho.

By far one of the best classes I've taken. Professor Hoy is probably one of the most knowledgeable people I've come across and I have learned so much from his lectures. In order to pass the exams, you have to study. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. The best resources for test prep are the Jacob Clifford, reviewecon. com, and Khan Academy

Professor Hoy is very passionate about economics. The course is based upon lectures and if you don't pay attention you won't do well. I took notes all throughout the course and answered all his questions and ended up with a C+ He also cares deeply for his students, but has inconvenient office hours. Great professor to take if you enjoy economics

Prepare to be engaged in Professor Hoy's lectures, as he is very passionate about economics. The class is heavily exam-focused, so diligent note-taking and daily review are essential. I found unstuck study and other online resources like Khan Academy really helpful for test prep.

Only 3 grades the whole semester, if u r bad at test taking don't take him. If you have the attention span to listen to his lectures, you'll love it, if not don't take this. Barely any work if you pay attention in class. Very nice guy, although I did feel like he didn't really care for his students, he just seemed happy to talk about economics.
