Easy, and very nice. He's a kool guy
Hard to understand, doesn't prepare you for tests well, no curve, Very boring
Cannot understand a single word this guy says; bring your computer to kill time
Hard to understand, definately bring a laptop, easy grader
Good professor to take....if you're looking to lower your GPA.
Hard to understand his accent...but easy grader...huge curves!!!
bring your laptop or kill yourself
huge curves....bring a laptop...overall easy
If you bring your laptop and do the homework it decent, although you might want to look elsewhere first
Easy grader. Huge curves (nobody failed our first test). If you can learn from a textbook, take Kant. Otherwise, take him for the entertainment. PRIIIINCIPLES of economics.
Great prof. Big curves and easy grader...what more could you ask for????
Curves all the tests, some questions from the study guide. Just attempt to pay attention and take down graphs, etc. and you should be fine. I got a B+ and I got 2 A's on the tests and didn't study at all for the final.
don't know why the university hires people who don't speak clear english to teach LECTURE classes. Screw taking notes, just bring your laptop for entertainment purposes and study from the text.
I just read the reviews. He didn't speak well when I had him ten years ago. Why don't these professors make an effort to enunciate and pronounce correctly, so that the student can concentrate on the material and not the accent?

Kant is awful, even though he gives big curves, sitting through his class is atrocious. I'm not a dumb kid and I couldn't learn from him. He expects that everyone is an Econ master coming in, which makes him very confusing. Not to mention that accent, you can't understnad anything he says.
He's not that bad... sorry to everyone who wants to be spoon fed by their teachers... His accent is a little hard to understand. You write a lot of notes. Exams are 1/2 multiple choice and the other half problems. Use the study guide and practice the multiple choice questions.
Very hard to understand. Homework problems are on the exam, so do the homework and you will be ok, 1/2 of the exam is multiple choice which comes from the study guide, very boring professor, bring ur laptop, but i dont recommend him, curves tests though
Absolutely HORRIBLE. Hard to understand (heavy accent) his lectures lack structure and are very confusing.
It's really too bad about this guy. It started off as a great class but then became a softy. We didn't learn nearly as much as most would have liked, I think. Make sure to get the workbook for his class, and just do the questions that he suggests, or just do the questions. They will help you a lot.
at 830am it was hard to get out of bed for this class, he rambles without getting his point across, the test is not too bad though b/c its hw probs and m.c.
HORRIBLE TEACHER..AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS..YOU CAN NOT UNDERDTAMD A WORD HE SAYS AND LOSES HW FROM PEOPLE..AWFUL MAN..HE SHOULD BE GONE BY NOW WITH EVERYONE WHO DOESNT LIKE HIM...!
Not a hard class, but at times its difficult to know what Kant expects out of you (He's hard to understand). Tests are fairly difficult, but if you study, he curves them, so you will be alright. Not an awful class if you're signed up for it, yet not one that I would highly reccomend either.
what notes ...I have maybe 5 pages of notes for the whole semester. Everything formulas that u can't even have front of you during the exam, u have to remember them. Tests were hard, and I did not learn anything.I spent the whole semester on my laptop and i got B+.and i really tried to pay attention, i swear, but i couldnt take it after the 3rd cla
"Similarly"
OMG! I hate this guy! Please don't take him. If you get stuck with him, I guess it's not that bad. It's just really hard to get an A. I was half an hour late to the classes I actually showed up to and walked out with a B+. Possible to get an A if you study the HW problems and the MC questions from the study guide but he screws your final grade up.
His grading is a bit weird but the class isnt that bad. I never read the book but still got an A in the class. Just take notes in class, do hw assignments, and cram for the midterm and final. Not many grades so make sure you hand in hw on time. Exams are straight from hw and MC from the study guide. He can be an assh*le sumtimes but stuck it up
It's not too hard of a class as long as you do the homework and study for the tests from the study guide. However his lectures are pretty unclear and extremely boring.
Save yourself, find someone else
can not speak english stay away
He isn't a great professor, but you can get away with reading the book and getting an A. And he doesn't care if you show up or not. I spent the whole class online and still got an A. And he doesn't make you do anything ridiculous like Overbay.
cant talk english.. class is boring.. cant explain things right.. dont take him there are easier and better teachers..
he's very boring and doesn't speak english well...this shouldn't affect your grade because the midterm and final (both from the study guide and hw) are both very easy...he's not the best choice but it's very easy to get an A
BAD POINT: Professor goes over homework before taking the exam when the exam should be considered first priority. This does not leave time to really focus on the formulas and charts that comes w/Economic. Good Point: Professor Kant is always on time and he will keep you in the class til the end.
The fact that the university actually pays this man money to "teach" makes me want to transfer. This is by far the worst teacher I've ever had, and I cant imagine ever getting someone worse..or even comparible. Also, the guy is a pr*ck. There has actually been times in my class where someone asks a question and he just blows them off and continues.
Very bad teacher, not much more I can say. Very hard to understand and I think If I just read the book, I could teach this class better than him.
HORRIIIBBLLEEE!!!! PERIOD END OF SENTENCE! STAY AWAY
This man is a great example of who NOT to hire @ a university like Seton Hall. This gentleman CANNOT SPEAK our language... what do the people hiring @ SHU think about??!! How do you hire a professor who CANT SPEAK ENGLISH?!
His class is actually pretty easy, but he does not teach the subject very well. Spends far too much time going over homework in class, which does not count for any credit. Only graded assignments all semester are the midterm and final. Can be hard to understand because of his accent.
Good luck understanding this guy. if it wasnt for the fact that he never checked hw and gave u the answers to all the problems he assigned, and had an easy midterm (basically from the study guide book) i would have dropped this class. bring your laptop for this guy, youre gonna need it. "similarlly" and "tird" is the best he can do for english.
WHY would anyone hire this PROF. AVOID. AVOID. Please... He brags about his rich town and smart kids. He is a horrible techer. Unfair. Never Take. Seriously
He is the worst professor I have taken since I been at SHU. He doesnt explain anything and you can barely understand him. If he is your last resort....hold off until next semester trust me!!!
Worse professor in the ECON department....don't take him....PLEASE
Why would anyone take this guy?!?! why would SHU hire him?! no one can understand him with his accent and he teaches to teach ;doesn't explain anything at all. He doesn't understand the questions asked and doesn't help students. You would be crazy to take him.
I do not understand why he is rated so poorly. His classes are boring, but it is an easy class. His test questions come straight from the study guide. All you have to do is look over the study guide prior to exams and you should at least get a B.
as long as you read the chapters, do the homework, and the study guide. you'll get a good grade. he's not that bad.
I don't understand why he is rated so poorly. Yea, he has an accent, but it's not so bad you can't make out what he's saying. The tests come right from the study guide. He responds to emails quickly and always offers extra help. He can be a bit smug, but all professors can get like that. He knows A LOT about economics.
If you apply yourself you will get a good grade, on the way he teaches he is the worst ive seen.
he knows his stuff but is overall a poor teacher. While you may get a decent grade it's because you taught yourself, he is not good at explaining things to students and does not try to relate to students or get involved in class discussions to set the student's attention about economics.
He is an expert in his field, but not a good teacher. He explains the material as if we are all experts and cannot relate to students at all. You must read the book and use the study guide and basically teach yourself. The tests are easy if you follow that advice; he doesn't make them hard. If attendance didn't count, I wouldn't go.
Im currently taking his Econ class (1402)....He isn't a teacher... Kant is a hired professor. He knows his work, but his accent and lack of teaching skills prevents his students from learning. It would your best bet to read the book and learn from there. Trust me it will work. He is a helpful grader. Just do the work he says and learn from the bok
He's just annoying..the class is easier than he makes it seem. His tests are very unorganized..one it is this format, the next he says its like this..and then has the nerve to say well it could have been easier if maybe i put a graph..i mean come on...he's nice..an expert in economics but can not teach.
Impossible to understand this man. Very stubborn as well and will always keep class until the very end. Lectures are incredibly boring and too hard to follow. You basically have to teach yourself the material. He is not helpful at all. Not recommended at all. Avoid!
He makes the class seem harder than it is. For tests, he gave us us the short-answer questions in advance, but it was hard narrowing down the material for the multiple choice. Attendance counts for a lot. He is painfully boring, but showing up is half the battle and will boost your grade. Wasn't sure what I was going to get, but wound up with an A.
Class is extremely boring and attendance is mandatory. You end up teaching yourself, but its not that hard. Put in a little bit of effort and getting a decent grade is not impossible. Get the study guide that goes with the text book and study the multiple choice for the tests. 3 tests all non cumulative.
School might as well just fire him. No one can understand him, he doesn't teach the essentials, and its a miracle that anyone can like him as a teacher.
I bet Chander Kant can't even teach someone how to use a microwave because that's how bad of a professor he is
Kant has an accent that can be understood but is hard. he does not teach very well. essentially you end up teaching yourself. i paid absolutely NO attention in his class, did not study and got a C+. i would avoid him if possible.
He's way too hard to understand and doesn't actually do much teaching
He's the worst in so many ways. Impossible to understand. If you want to do well in his class, teach yourself the material because you will not understand what he is saying. Pretty disorganized teaching method. If you want to learn economics, please take someone who can speak the nation's language somewhat clearly.
wish someone would fire him :(. if u want to fail the course and take it over again, then take Kant!!!
Chander Kant is the worst economics professor in the business school. He does not try to help his students out, and expects them to be experts as soon as the material is taught. He is EXTREMELY unclear about what will be on the tests and also penalizes students for incorrect homework answers. Overall, a very poor professor and human being.
He lectures off of slides but the exams are based directly off of the examples he goes over in class. if you copy them and study the concepts, you will have no problem. I found him easy to understand,. Attendance is very small part of grade and is randomly checked
His accent is a little tough at first but you get the hang of it pretty quick. Exams make up like 80% of your grade so you have to really study for them. I think he was a run of the mill professor. He is reasonable but wont hand you a grade. you have to show up most of the time to get it. Also, examples in notes are the same ones he uses on exams!
This is by far one of the worst professors that I have ever been so unfortunate to run into. Not only is his demeanor in general God awful (speaks in an unclear accent, and boring beyond anything), but he expects you to know it all without him doing next to anything. He reads directly off slides that he posts online anyway, but still has attendance
Really wasn't that bad. The class is relatively easy if you show up and pay attention
Here's the breakdown for macro econ. You only have two tests,the midterm and final. The rest of the points go to participation, attendance and HW. He gives you practice exams that are very similar to the midterm and final and some HW questions are on the tests. The homework gives you three chances so you can do three times for a grade. Good luck!
Can't understand a word he says. Not a hands on teacher. Exams are whole class. Take if you like to learn on own via book and homework. If you want to learn and get a good grade too consider different professor.
THE WORST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER TAKEN IN MY LIFE DO NOT TAKE HIM
He is okay if you pay attention in class. He lectures straight off of the powerpoints and has a thick Indian accent which makes it hard to understand what he is saying. There were 3 exams given, each worth 30% with little review materials provided. He knows his stuff but fails to teach it properly not good at teaching the material.
I don't hate Professor Kant, but you have to pay a lot of attention and ask your classmates for help. The textbook can help, but it's almost like the book Ulysses because you have to really read into it. I really wouldn't recommend his class. My friend says his office hours can be helpful, though.
I wouldn't reccomend. He's obviously a very intelligent and capable man, but not a great professor. Refuses to acknowledge schools of economics besides Keynesian. He does not actually teach much in class, just reads off the PowerPoint slides. I have taken him twice due to scheduling issues, hated his class both times.
I like Kant. He does not require you to purchase an online textbook/service, like other Econ professors do. You can just find a pdf version of the textbook online. Furthermore, the short answer questions are based off of his PowerPoint slides. If you participate, he will like you, and will give extra points on the exam. Study, and you'll be fine.
This class is extremely boring and although he seems nice, he also just seems rude at times. He gives three exams and the open ended parts of it are just like his review. I understand why people can fail his class because he goes through everything quickly and the info is already hard to understand. You can read the textbook but I never used it.
Where do I even start, Kant is a horrible professor. Although he is nice, his accent is very hard to understand and he flies through his material. The class itself is boring, he lectures the whole time. My biggest problem is that he tells you to buy the textbook and then you never use it. The book alone is like $130. Trust me when i say, dont take
He's alright, just lectures for the entirety of the class. He's got a heavy accent too. He gives reviews, which have the same questions that will show up on the tests and final, just with different numbers. If you do take him, DO NOT buy the textbook, save yourself some money, as I never opened it for the whole semester.
The Professor honestly does not care, Unless you have an excused note your are screwed. All he does is talk, if a student is confused he will argue with them to get his point across. Heavy accent hard to understand, spend more time deciphering what he says then actually paying attention to the lesson.
The class was pretty good but he did make easy things more complicated than it had to be. There a few exams with no homework and he gives extra credit. However, he would argue how he's right instead of answering a question or problem you have. He's not bad but I would take him as a last resort.
For this class there were 3 grades, all of them tests. He gives not enough time for the long responses. His policy was that if you submitted late on both tests by any margin of time he doubled the late penalty on the second exam. Also, if you submitted late on both (since it was too many questions to answer), he added up the times and took off more
Without a doubt the worst professor I have ever taken. The tests are impossible to finish on time and he penalizes for turning it in late. Due to this, everyone gets poor grades on tests. When we emailed him about it, he added a lot of bonuses to raise our grades, then cut them because "we had too much help." He acted like we did fine without them.
The lectures take the whole time and he can get very boring. His accent is heavy so if you struggle with accents I do not recommend. He gives out no homework but there is 3 test take make up your grade and if you participate in class and show up he gives you extra credit on the tests. Overall not a hard class, but be sure to take notes and use them
DO NOT TAKE KANT. He makes me want to off myself during his lectures. His tests are timed like we're in middle school and you will not finish it. He has to add extra B.S points each test because that's how bad people do. Only three grades the entire semester including the final, so if you fail those you fail the class. Worst professor at SHU.
Do not take him. I repeat DO NOT TAKE HIM! Not only is he the most heartless person ever, he has absolutely no empathy for students especially when we are online. His tests are very difficult and he gives absolutely no time to finish them. I dont have time to even process the question. It is a joke. Also, losing internet is not an excuse. Worst
I cannot emphasize this enough, choose another professor. Professor Kant falls short in many areas but the main problem is that he gives you an unreasonably short amount of time to complete exams. He gave my class 35 minutes to complete the same section of an exam that other Macroeconomics classes were given around an hour to complete.
Horrible professor, dont take him
Absolutely awful. I cannot describe how frustrating it was to take Kant. For his online class, the time he gave for the open ended responses for tests was ridiculous. It was nearly impossible to finish on time. (No excuses acceptable and almost the entire class complained). I would not recommend for any class. He is unreasonable.
The only good thing about him is that he ensured my therapist would always have a job
Hes a great professor if you like classes where you cant understand anything thats happening
Theres a special place in hell for professors who give less than the required time for a final. The blocks are 2 hours, he gave us 1 hour and 15 minutes. No one finished it.
By far the worst professor at SHU. Gives 3 exams and no other credit. Lectures are all whispered. Consistently shorts students on time on exams. Lectures are incredibly dense with only 5-10 minutes of content you actually need to know. incredibly hard to work with over email. His name rhymes with what he is. STAY FAR AWAY AT ALL COSTS
Overall, Prof. Kant is a good professor and not terrible like how everyone makes him out to be. Only 3 exams for the semester. Is important to study your notes and the power points because the exams resemble exactly that. Only downside is that he does not do any extra credit, but he does give participation points that can be added to your exams.
Professor Kant is not too terrible as everyone says. While his lectures are dense, if you just study the slides you should be fine on his tests. He only gives three tests throughout the entire semester and there's no homework. His tests are fair since he gives us practice tests which are based solely on his slides. He's decent, just put in the work
Prof. Kant is a good professor and not like how everyone makes him out to be. 3 exams make up your grade for the semester. Study your notes and practice examples he gives out because they resemble the exams exactly. You should be fine from that. One of the easiest classes I've had this semester.
He was by far one of the worst professors I have ever taken at Seton Hall. It was very difficult to understand him which was hard considering all he does is lecture. Also, there was only three exams, one being the final. There was no homework, projects, or assignments that would go towards your grade. You either did well on the tests or you didn't.
I love this man! I don't understand why the other people are giving him a bad rating because he was very well versed on the topic and cared a lot about it. He really just wants participation, and everyone in class can tell that he appreciates it whenever someone tries! If you like economics (and aren't lazy), I suggest taking the class!
I saw people saying his class is bad because of there being only 3 exams, but it was pretty easy to do well because he gives you a comprehensive study guide with basically the same questions with different numbers. You get 6 absences for the class without penalty. No need to read the textbook if you pay attention to lecture and slides are online.
I would highly recommend to anyone interested in taking Econ 2 or Econ 1403 to never take Prof. Kant's class. It is very lecture heavy, test heavy, and you are only graded on a few things. He will most likely give 3 tests and a final. If you fail one test you are not set up to pass his class.
Simply impossible to understand due to his accent. Even if you could understand him, I don't think it would help much
He's not a bad guy but he reads off the slides and there is only 3 tests. But if you really re read the slides and do his practice tests you will definitely do good in the course.
