Best Teacher I never had. His classes are very interesting. He's a funny teacher and makes the course interesting. Very helpful when you need it. He gives you extra credit assignment if you are below the class. 2 take home essays (Past/Present paper) and 2 inclass essays(Midterm and finals) with using a note card.

Prof Stiehl exhibited a disengaging (and sometimes disorganized) lecturing style that too often left me confused. So, I mostly relied on the textbook, which didn't prepare me well for his exams.

Dr. Stiehl is a fantastic teacher who genuinely cares about the subject he teaches and cares deeply about teaching it in a very accessible way. I would 100% take another course taught my Dr. Stiehl.

While we are assigned to read the textbook and complete its activities, Dr. Stiehl provides amazing lectures and explains each topic in depth. He is always willing to answer questions and treats all his students fairly. But make sure you don't procrastinate with the workload; you won't be able to finish it last minute.

Chace Steihl is a nice and funny guy who is always down to help his students. Is lectures a pretty long and boring but he likes to break it up with group work. Attendance is mandatory and you have to do read 2 chapters a week as well as complete quizzes/problem sets. Average tests. Discussion posts once a week that have you complete a task.

Prof Stiehl is genuinely a great guy. He encourages students to come to office hours and reach out to him and he cares about everyone. With that said, his lectures are pretty boring and his tests are hard. His classes consist of two reading chapters problem sets every week as well as a lengthy asych discussion. Attendance is mandatory

Chace is a great professor. He is very passionate about economics and this is reflected in his teaching. He likes to engage the students during the lecture and is very reachable outside of class. Overall a great professor and great class experience!

Professor Stiehl is one of the most passionate and caring teachers I have ever met as he has been teaching for years. I struggled a lot in the beginning of the quarter and I was able to reach out to him through his office hours. He was very caring, flexible and patient while ensuring I got all the required work still done.

I will be honest. I chose this professor after seeing the reviews on ratemyprofessor but the teacher was horrible. He doesn't even care whether the students do his work or not. He doesn't bother to explain the rules or what homeworks were even posted. He is very strict and taught so fast. Save yourself and dont choose this professor if you want "A"

Professor Stiehl is great. He knows a lot about economics and teaches it very effectively. The lectures are important but they're easy to follow and he makes sure that students understand the material. He's a nice guy, he cares about his students and is willing to help outside of class. If you put in the effort, you can do well in his class.

Chace is a nice guy and a good teacher. HW was great in this class and easy to understand he is very easy to reach to ask for help. The exams consist of around 12 mcq's&2 essay questions relating to the chapters. Last test is cumulative. There are weekly discussions,&he grades attendance&there is in class groupwork. He gets off track pretty easily.

Good teacher- super nice at first but got a little rude at the end. HW was great- pretty easy online HW with infinite attempts (but -10% per question each attempt wrong). Lots of EC opportunities. Group work here and there- wasn't too bad and was only during class. 3 exams (hard). Ask questions if you're confused he is very helpful!

Chace Stiehl is the GOAT. He is HIM. Greatest professor of all time. Just make sure you participate in his lectures and you'll get an A, and of course read the textbook and make sure you're comfortable with the homework questions. Most straightforward class I ever took.

Best professor I've taken at Bellevue college so far. Professor Stiehl has multiple teaching styles, provides hands-on classwork, he encouraged us to speak up and not overthink, he is passionate about his profession, he explains things in an understandable way, and he has an exciting personality and attitude.

Chace was an amazing professor and made economics very interesting. Lectures were long, but entertaining and vital to do well in his class. A decent amount of homework, but doing the homework made the tests much easier. As long as you take notes during the lectures, study before the exams, and do the homework, this is a great course.

He's a good teacher, but very fast paced and assigns a good amount of homework. It's not impossible to do well in his class, but you will have to put in a lot of effort. But he is a good teacher overall, and he does explain things very well.

He is one of the best professors I've had at Bellevue College. His lectures are engaging, he's always available during office hours, happy to answer any questions, and overall just a kind and supportive instructor. He treats students with integrity and respect. Not to mention that if you enjoy math and/or logic, this class is an absolute blast.

Around 2 or 3 homework and chapter reviews and a discussion post a week is basically all the homework in this class. Both the midterm and the final are completely online which makes them very accessible. The professor also gives you a lot of time to do them. He opens them days before a due date which allows for great flexibility.

Assignments were simple, a grq and journal assigment due every week. As long as u put effort into those assignments you'll get full points. But the class is pretty heavy on lecture. As long as u lock in during lecture, and have a good understanding of each chapter that you read, you'll be good for midterm and final.
