IF you attend all classes he will give you ten pts extra. The class is really boring and he has an accent that when he says "person" he really means "percent." If you read all of the chapters and understand them you will pass.
Prof Morales is a very calm guy, so classes do tend to get boring real fast.Although, his tests arent hard,there just straight from the book so you gotta read the chapters and put some time into it to get a high grade.He also requires 3 simple article reviews about 4-5 paragraphs long. I got a B and i barely put time into studying.
Hands Down Good Teacher. Gives good reviews before test. Nice Professor. Kendall Campus.
ITS A GOOD TEACHER
GOOD TEACHER!!! U MUST STTUDY FROM THE BOOK!!! REVIEWS ONLY 50% OF THE TEST. BUT I TOOK HIM FOR 6 WEEKS CLASS.
He's a great teacher. The extra credit assignments are very helpful. He really helps you and values your effort. Great guy!
If you want a real education in econimics I do not recommend this professor. He seems to know his stuff but does not know how to teach it. I always catch myself falling asleep in his class. You dont even have to go to class to do in the course. got an A in the class but felt like i learned very little
He's a great professor. His extra credit assignments are really helpful. He healps you and values your effort. Great guy!
His the best professor... he listens and he's willing to explain you again and again the same thing until you are complete understood. EXCELLENT and highly recomended!
HE IS A REALLY GOOD PROFESSOR. EASY A. HE DOES NOT PUT A LOT OF ASSIGMENTS. HE IS VERY NICE AND PATIENT.TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET
He is a really good professor. He explains everything clearly and he has patience with the students. He is the best.
he's a very good teacher. he'll do everything to help you. very easy to understand!!!! he's awsome! take him
Teacher has a hispanic accent, knows his stuff, and makes sure you understand it. He has 4 exams and an easy extra credit exam (drops lowest grade). Curves his tests, and if you do the review questions, you get extra points for the test. Easy A
Take him!!!!! he will help you, he is very flexible, extra credit, drops lowest grade. he is awesome!!!
He is very helpful. He makes you understand the concepts. He explains everything so clear that you undertand him.
HIS GREAT TAKE HIM!!!
This professor is the worst professor MDC could have! Everybody rates him as excellent because he is easy! but he's not a good professor, he doesn't speak English, and you will get confuse with the concepts because he doesn't have enough vocabulary to give examples. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN!!WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!
The best macroeconomics teacher. Extremely easy. Only 4 exams (including final) & 3 easy short article review papers. He curves almost 2 whole letter grades during each test. If you are lost during a test, just approach him and he will give you a great hint to the answer. His exams are pretty simple. He is also very understanding.Take him for EC0
If you want to learn take someone else. Hard to understand at times but he will help you if you have any questions.
Mr. Morales is a great guy, i found his class interesting, of course your going to have to read the book but he gives a review before the exams and gives a really big curve
Easy class if you read the book and follow the powerpoints because you can barely understand his english. He is very helpful and proud of his work. Good class
Amazing professor. Took him for macroeconomics. He is understanding, explains clearly, low vocabulary and slight accent but that just makes him cater to an easy class. Class composed of 4 tests and 3 article reviews.
I'm just thankful I passed his class. Just barely, because he gave me a C He lectures staight from a Powerpoint. His test are not what I expected. His reviews are just basic key terms so if you want to pass, you have to read the book and really comprehend it because you won't if you just go to class. I would not take him again.
Bo easy at all
I do not recommend him. The class it self is not boring or difficult but this professor, who is an amazing person, i most say, handels to make it a really hard and sour experience. He is a great person but he deff fails in teaching. He teaches at a level way under the tests levels. He does not even make tests by himself.
Professor Morales is a great option. He has an accent, and is a bit weird to understand, but he is very fair and relatively lax. Make sure to take notes and study from those, as he doesn't enforce book use, but the book IS useful for studying. Furthermore, do the online homework and do the article reviews and it'll be an easy A. I got an A.
Professor Morales is an extremely nice guy.The class is pretty easy compared to other macro classes. All you really need to do is read the book and do the assigned homework. He definitely teaches under the level of his tests but if you do (and understand) the assigned homework it shouldn't be too hard. He doesn't respond to emails which is annoying
really nice guy and does give you many chances to pass his class. Need book to study Course is: 4/5 Test 3 Articles, DO online hw. He from teaches power points & test are harder than what he teaches- doesn't make own test only flaw but gives many chances to get a GOOD grade. He's a good teacher and gets really into his lectures. Id take him again.
Do the LearnSmart on Connect and this should prepare you well for the tests. He has an accent, but if you listen to what he's really saying, he's a good teacher. He's also very nice. Listen to his lectures (they are meant to accompany the book not replace it), do the hw and article reviews and you should be fine.
He is the best. I love Economics and I am thinking of changing my major because of this class. If you take Economics take it with Carlos Morales.
His class is interesting but his accent is pretty bad. You have 4 tests and a final. I would have gotten a B but i studied really hard for the final. Its not an easy class you actually need to study the book, basically know it word for word. The homework online helps a lot and the 3 current events are easy A's.
Not an easy class. He is not good at explaining things so be prepared to study hard and READ THE BOOK! Do any extra credit he offers because they aren't worth much. His accent is understandable. I do NOT recommend taking him. I was bored out of my mind! Lectures last the whole class. Take someone else!!!
Not an easy class. He is not good at explaining things so be prepared to study hard and READ THE BOOK! Do any extra credit he offers because they aren't worth much. He never responds to emails. I do NOT recommend taking him. Lectures last the whole class, really uninteresting. I do not recommend this professor.
This professor knows well the subject. Forget about accents, he really knows what he is talking about. Do the online homework because this will be a part of your final grade. For me Macro and Micro are not easy. My recommendation is go to the lab to get some help.
Very good prof. Knows his stuff. He knows what he is taking about but sometimes has trouble explaining it. He will help you as much as possible but his reviews are very short not to helpful and his test are hard. He will help as much as possible and is fair.
He is the BEST, very knowledgeable, he cares about the students; he offers xtra credit, excellent professor. I took him for both micro and macro, take him! you won't regret it!
Professor Morales is a nice person. He gave us study guides for every test, which came from the book. The study guides were complete so the tests were passable. Not a very fun class, but it was a good class. He made us do a couple of writing assignments, but overall very passable. I took this class in the Spring of 2013, and still recommend him.
Mr. Morales is a very nice man and he clearly has a passion for economics. He is very engaging, however he will have side bar conversations with the students which throws the class off . Though case related. You MUST read the book to fully understand the topic.! language barrier . If his class was taught in Spanish he would be AMAZING!
His homework are online, they are relative good since they tell you the answer eveytime you answer wrong. But the test is inclass Very HARD and long test with 45 questions.. 3 article review not hard at all. but looong class and all powerpoint reading. and he does not answer emails.
He is an amazing professor. He knows about the matter very well and explain the course clearly with real and logical examples. He encourages the students to learn more about economic and apply it to your life.
He is a sweet man, but in my opinion his class is hard. If you are interested in the topic, he explains it well. I find his class too long and boring because I simply HATE economics. But that has nothing to do w the professor. 4 Exams, 3 Article Reviews & you have to do CONNECT HW. Connect cost$98, but you have to buy it. Atleast the book is there
Great professor who's passionate about what he teaches. Gives reviews the class prior to the exam. Do the online homework, study, and show you're interested and you should get an A
He's very passionate about economics and encourages his students to apply economics and what we've learned to our lives. He does have a very thick spanish accent which makes it hard to completely grasp the idea of his lecture. He gives 4 tests, 3 very easy article reviews and homework on connect is mandatory. He's a super sweet professor.
Great professor who's passionate about what he teaches. Gives reviews the class prior to the exam. Do the online homework, study, and show you're interested and you should get an A. I took both 2013 and 2023 with him the same semester and did great
His English is clear and understandable, he just has a little Spanish accent. He works with students to help improve the grades. He's very nice. As long as you do the online homework, two Article Reports and the tests ( I believe we had 4) you should get an easy A. I would totally take him again!
He is a nice person! And he gives extra credits, but just be aware that when you come to the test base it on you, not him. The HW is easy and he cares a lot about his students passing.
He is great as a person, gives extra credit, easy homework assignments, and available during office hours for additional help if needed. However, his lectures are not very understandable, nor are they relevant to the tests he gives in class. Although he cares about your grade and wants you to pass, this was not an easy class.
really loves what he teaches, caring for his students, I will take him for micro.
macro is not easy, if you are expecting to just show up and pass, you're wrong. Prof. Carlos is awesome!! he has a little Spanish accent, but his lectures are understandable. he also cares about the students, and would give extra credits. Tons of hw ( easy hw online) and fairly easy tests. I would take him again for sure!
Worst class and professor. He is very repetitive, lecture very superficial. Give lots of online homework but they are very difficult, you have to study by yourself to do the homework because it is nothing related to the class. He has hard spanish accent which is difficult to understand. A pain class.
this is by far the hardest class i have taken, he has a very heavy spanish accent. The homework has nothing to do with what he lectures. i am a hardworking student but i am barely managing a B average. Also, the test are extremely hard, his reviews are nothing like the test, do not recommend him.
I like the class.
His class is made so that you will pass regardless of whether you get good grades on the final or midterm. That said, the homework WILL make you understand economics it's got the highest weight of all. Luckily the professor gives you an awesome grace period on "MindTap". All in all, I would retake this class as it is very hard to fail.
I love his class. Nice professor. And super easy class and quiz. I registered his class in fall.
Professor Morales class was super easy. A lot of homework and quizzes which are annoying but super easy. Class was fun.
This teacher doesn't respond to emails and the homework is so hard because even though you have the book, it DOESN'T HELP AT ALL. You have to do 3 essays that all have to be above 60% with unlimited tries, BUT if you even TRY to actually respond to the question, your grade barely goes up. Grade is based on homework mainly
Pay attention to his lectures and you should get an A. Just don't be lazy.
The professor is very nice, however, this class is not easy at all and the fact that this professor has a heavy accent doesn't help. His lectures and teaching method is boring and not clear enough, making it more difficult. You need to study the material and pay close attention to pass. He does give extra credit and grace periods on assignments.
Grade is fair. Nice professor. I took macro and micro with him. To pass his class, you need to really understand his PowerPoint. All the test has 80% from PowerPoint for sure. The other 10% is how to apply the materials practically. EasyA. Also, go to his office to ask questions which you confused on the class . Strongly recommend!!!
Took this class online. Hard for me since its too much to read but professor was great and helpful. He gave extra credit that helped a lot. 2 proctored exams and your homework is worth 50% so you will pass if you do HW and quizzes good.
His Macro class is great, easy, understandable. His Micro isn't. For some reason his Micro class is ten times more difficult. The reviews don't help, the exams are very hard, and his lectures are pretty hard to enjoy or understand. During my time in Macro the reviews helped and studying gave me a chance to do well. I found myself the opposite here.
Guys I usually dont do this, but for him I will. By far the worst teacher I have taken all semester for ECO2013 online. He doesnt answer any of his emails. His grading is ridiculous. Dont takek
The professor is super nice and is always willing to help you in any doubt.
Excellent professor, I really enjoyed learning economics with him. Theres a lot of homework but if you do it and if you read the material you shouldnt have issues for the exams.
Nice professor. Super easy to pass his class with A. I took both classes with him. For sure to get an A. You need to focus on his lecture. Also. Review all the PowerPoint before you take the exam. All the concept and graph is there ( easy get A ) Except you dont even understand the PowerPoint examples at all
He puts very practical examples, and he is concerned about youi to be aware of the reality (of course with a focus on macroeconomics)
Macro is a very challenging class, Prof. Morales tries to make it as easy as possible. Gives 8 extra credits,really easy just print out something and turn it in. There is hw but not a lot and he gives a month to do it. 3 tests and a final. He sometimes boosts up tests by 10% depending how the class did. Not a hard class at all. Lazy people complain
Professor does not reply to ANY emails. When you ask for assistance he does nothing, doe snot even try to help if you are struggling. Take this professor if you want to fail this course. I wouldnt recommend him to anyone!
Worst professor and the mindtap assignments are so hard, he might give an extra credit and it will be worth so little. Not the type to curve your grade by 2 points, he will let you fail and not care!
So bad its not even funny.
He's a pretty good professor overall. Never paid attention to the lectures. Homework is online and there's a lot of it. Tests are ok. He talks a lot about the gas price and the price of food at McDonald's to use for examples on different topics. Gives 7 extra credit opportunities. Gave more weight on the homework since we were online this semester.
Morales is a literal gem. GIves a bunch of homework but it's basically your entire grade plus answers are online. Do good on the homework that's on Cengage and you'll end up passing. He gives super easy extra credit which helps to boost your grade. The material is basically the same as ECO2013 so the lecture can get kinda boring but it's worth it.
Hes a sweetheart. If English is the only language you speak, then you should look for another professor because he can get confused with some words in spanish, but apart from that, hes fantastic. Gives good examples, gets you involved, offers extra credit, the exams are similar to the homework, and hes just so nice overall.
Mr. Morales was absent for the whole semester. Even our assignments were graded by AI (artificial intelligence). He doesn't care about his students or their grades. When asked for an extra assignment to bump up my grade because his class is the only class that stopped me from getting all A's, he just never bothers to respond. I don't recommend him.
This professor was such a sweetheart, he was very lenient with deadlines and always helped out his students whenever needed. Attendance is not mandatory but it is extra credit at the end of the semester if you attend every class. He gave a decent amount of homework nothing incredibly overwhelming but overall great professor I loved him.
I picked his class because a lot of the Econ professors did not have the best reviews and neither did he. I was enrolled for his full time online class and when I read the syllabus I was terrified to see he gives a proctered midterm and final with 40% of your final grade. so basically be amazing at Econ or fail and the online work is hard. dropped
If you want an easy laid back ECO2013 class, professor Morales is the one. I found the class very easy and quick to finish. I finished the whole class in less than 2 months and waited for the midterm and final as my last assignments due. Everything is online for the class. Only thing is the 3 Gordon rule papers but they were doable.
Mr.Morales was amazing! Very easy going and gave great examples. Tests are easy IF you study and hw was easy as well just a lot but very doable. Definitely recommend him.
Very flexible with homework and a very good teacher.He interacts a lot with the class
The professor gave a super easy extra credit assignment worth 5% of the class, plus 15 extra credit questions on the Final. The class was not difficult, there were homework assignments due every week and a total of 3 writing assignments. Professor Morales was really nice and flexible, I would 100% recommend this class.
He is very nice and calm, he makes sure to explain everything for the chapter and his class depended on cengage hw and 3 exams with open notes in the classroom. Took him for both micro and macro classes.
Prof. Morales is the most dedicated professor I've ever seen. He is so passionate about teaching. You literally have no excuses to fail this class. He would explain the same topic 100 times in class and after class If you ask him to. HW is on Pearson, due at the end of the semester. 4 tests and 1 mandatory final, tons extra credit opportunities.
Professor Morales is so nice and really loves to teach. His class is like any other with the homeworks but hes very flexible about them and gives many extra credit opportunities. Take him.
if you are lazy.. dont take the class. get ready to teach your self this is an online class so read the chapetrs and then do mindtap. i literally finished the course in like three weeks and then waited for midterms and finals. if you get 100s on the homework, and fail the finals and midterms you can stoill pass the class.
Professor Morales is a great teacher and very caring. There are 3 mandatory essays but it is not hard. You chose the topic and basically, you just explain the source, your pov, and your conclusion. The only downside of this class is the homework. He uses cengage and gives you a lot of time to finish the homework but it takes time to complete it.
He is a great professor and he actually wants you to learn.
I took him twice, for macro and micro. Please take him!! He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit and is flexible about the homework. He cares about students understanding the chapter and goes over it if you have any questions.
Professor Morales is a devoted and amazing teacher who shares his knowledge to help us understand the economy. He was willing to help me during office hours. As a result of it, my grades improved. His class is very structured and easy to follow up, assignments and homework are all on Canvas. If you do your part you can strive in this class.
Great professor. Just make sure you do your homework on time and read the chapters in the book to understand each concept. As long as you do this, you will pass the class. Took him once for Macro and I'm about to take him again for Micro.
Good professor, but make sure to study hard. I read the book, but learning from the hw (very extensive) and using YouTube should be fine. Make sure to do the hw on time (create a hw-workout strategy) and to study well for the exams. Generally, exams are easier than hw, but they do cover a lot of stuff - 40 questions usually. Study cards may help!!
Amazing professor. Had him for micro at FIU and he was incredible. His lectures are memorable, he gives so many examples that breaks down so many concepts. He also encourages questions and wants the students to learn. There are daily homework's after every chapter but they are all very manageable. Amazing professor I would take him if I could.
I will keep this concise: Lectures are easy Gives you homework that corresponds to the test Tests are easy and ALWAYS gives a curve Gives various extra credit opportunities Will extend deadlines Caring professor
I had him for summer 2025 term. His lectures are very interesting and easy to understand. He shows genuine interest in his students well being. Homework weekly on Pearson. The tests are in class but not really proctored. 10/10, highly recommended.
I love him, he is very kind and has a heart for everyone in his class.
Super heavy accent. His lecture are so boring and He repeat the same in all his lectures. I really don't recomend him. A homework assigment per chapter and 4 test but I never understand what he said.
Amazing professor, I have had him twice for micro and macro. He's very good at his job. Assigns a normal amount of homework and if you complete it, you'll have an easy time in his class. I would definitely take his classes again, loved him.
