He does the absolute minimum. This was almost 100% self-study course. His lectures are very sloppy and will in no way prepare you for the test. I think my time would have been better spent reading the book than listening to him. You don't get to find out what you are supposed to know until the tests. He adopted poorly to online teaching.

Due to COVID-19, we had to switch from classroom instruction to online instruction and he was not able to adapt well. He claims to care about the students, but worried too much about students cheating that he ends up screwing the students up by changing the exams' weight and time limit. Made it almost impossible to finish the exam....

This prf. Opens his class by addressing all of his terrible reviews on this website, dont be fooled like I was. Not only is he condescending but at the end of the day he provides no extra study material so your going into tests blind, his power-points and lectures are terrible. Not even useful for studying you basically have to teach yourself.

I have to admit the subject isn't easy. You have to put in some work if you want to have a good grade. However, his lectures are easy to understand and expectations are clear.

I like the teaching style and I do understand why people struggle. He is most definitely helpful when needs.

I am a Business major and regret taking Lue's class. Econ is such an interesting and important topic. I wish I could retake it with someone who cares about his job and the students. Very low quality lectures, and no feedback or knowledge checks. The only reason I did well is because I read and reread the textbook until I 'got' it.

He's very accessible and will answer all your questions. However the lack of guided content and assignments makes it so you have 0 feedback and have no idea what you know/don't know until the exam. READ AND REREAD THE TEXTBOOK (lectures are meh .

Professor Lue is terrible.There no practice quiz because the actual test. You have to learn everything by yourself by reading the text book. Dont take his class. He addressed that he only here for the extra pay check and dont really care about his students success. Lecture is boring and he put bare minimum in his class.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He does not respond to emails or messages. He doesn't say much about the textbook because he doesn't know much about it. When I asked what the chapters I should really focus on for the final he said “I don't know.” He doesn't use canvas for grading he uses a google sheet file, sometimes you can't even access it.
