cool guy. one of the best

He is so funny and awesome to listen too--but he is HARD as hell.Loves to cuss

Well, I still want to be an econ major. Cool guy, class is a lot of fun and he relates it to college students. Unfortunately, he goes out of his way to make tests as hard as possible.

One of the most unfair teachers I've ever had. He is a very interesting prof for a college crowd, with frequent use of beer examples. Got me saying damn all the time. HARD tests, study a lot, but be prepared to have fun in class.

He's not unfair. No matter how tired you are, you don't fall asleep in his class. But his tests are really hard...all mult choice, but he does curve like crazy. he curves the tests and the final grades.

Beware - Britton's classes are extremely hard. His tests are perhaps the toughest I've faced. He makes class extremely enjoyable and is great to visit with. He will help immensly if you just ask. I loved his class but not my grade!

Though his tests are quite difficult, Dr. Britton is by far the most entertaining professor I've had in college. Very funny and personable guy and is available for help whenever you need him. You will come out of his class a better student.

Dr. Britton is a great person who has the rare talent to keep his morning class students awake and ready to learn. He's brings intelligence and good jokes to a subject that can easily be confusing as well as boring. Britton rocks! His tests a tough!

Britton is a funny guy but his tests are pretty hard. Go to the review sessions and you can get copies of his old tests, they help and some of the questions from the old tests are on the tests you will take.He curves but you still have to work

His tests are very hard, but a good teacher. I learned a lot from him. Study days in advance to stay afloat, especially if you need to gradute!

One of the BEST teachers in the WCOB

Great teacher. Cusses a lot which keeps it interesting. Always buy the study book.

Best proffesor I've had so far in college. Keeps you interested in the classes. The book isn't really needed in this class, because he teaches really well..

Great teacher. Keeps class interesting. You must read the book and it is a good idea to go over copies of his past tests.

If you think Dr. Britton is a difficult test giver then you are obviously not reading the text and studying. He's a great teacher and I would reccomend him to anyone.

cusses a lot, so nobody sleeps in class. gives good notes, definitely attend the study sessions. fairly easy, if you study.

He's pretty damn cool. Oh damn, I forgot to mention he is knows economics like the back of his hand. Hell, his tests aren't all that hard like everyone says. What the hell, just take the damn class with Britton.

Hilarious and entertaining. Gets the whole class involved, even if it's a large class. Read the book, but this guy knows what he's talking about.

Harder than I expected, I had to study more than I thought I would. Tests are pretty hard but not ridiculous. Hot in kind of a silver fox way. Hell, Damn.

READ THE BOOK. His lectures are only a supplement to the book. He draws 5+ graphs a class so pay attention. Study hard. Overall a cool guy. His grading system is very fair, all you have to do is my 90% of whatever the highest overall (final) grade is in the class and you get an A.

Very interesting teacher, but he lost me after the first couple weeks. I did more learning from the book than from him.

Chuck is a VERY good economics teacher. Better than any other at the U of A. Just as good as Stapp. Read the book, read your notes, listen in class and you'll get an easy A. I sure did and I'm not an econ guru.

The first test is hard because it covers six chapters. After that it gets much easier. Go to class because he gives easy pop quizzes for attendance. He gives a very generous curve and bonus on every exam. Take Britton for Macro!

The class is tough because the material is tough. Lots of graphs. Take good notes and study. 1st test is most difficult so study hard. Gets much easier after that. Has very generous curve on each exam.

Dr. Britton is a brilliant economist and obviously loves his job. His lectures are very entertaining (especially for a 7:30 am class), and although the material is sometimes difficult, he explains it in an way that everyone understands. Fun class...would definitely recommend.

BEST econ teacher by far. Go to class, read the book and it will be an A no problem. If you have questions go to his ofice and ask him and he'll help

Great lecturer - moves a quick pace and is extremely clear. Cusses a lot, has a pretty good sense of humor. Gives really easy pop quizzes every 3-4 classes. Tests are a lot harder than I would have expected for a regular course, but are short. Reading is helpful, but not essential. If you know how to read graphs well will be easy A.

Britton is awesome!! Moves very fast, but knows what the hell he is talking about. Tests are challenging, but he gives extremely easy pop quizzes and make-up opportunities. Great econ teacher!!

Britton is an excellent teacher who knows his material. He is fond of cursing in class, but it's nothing too drastic or offensive. Tests are hard, he has tricky questions, but if you study and go to class you'll be fine. Take Britton!!!!

Britton is awesome! He is probably one of my favorite teachers at the U of A. He makes lectures very interesting. The tests are not that hard. All you have to do is study.

He does a good job of keeping his lectures interesting and he gives easy quizzes if you go to class. The only thing you need to know about studying for his tests are READ THE BOOK!!!!! Nothing comes from his lectures except some examples that kind of help. READ THE BOOK!!!!!

Great teacher. He's very entertaining and knows economics like the back of his hand. The class is hard, but it's Econ... I don't really think it matters who teaches it, it's gonna suck. Easy to listen to and really makes you interested in what's going on. HIGHLY recommend.

Britton is fun and if you pay attention he always makes sense. grading system is highest score = 100 so since no one aces his tests your grade is higher than your score.

AWESOME TEACHER. Dude is extremely smart, only problem is you can tell he's smart when you take his test. However, no one else can make it as interesting as he does. You will listen because you want to.

He's a fun guy. You'll like the class, but some days he'll talk about nothing and he'll ramble on not talking about ECON and other days he'll go so fast and you'll have like 3 pages of notes in 50 minutes. Notes really aren't that helpful anyway, I found the book to be a lot more helpful. You'll enjoy the class.

Britton is a fun teacher. He keeps everyone entertained- however when you get to the test you feel like you've never seen the information before. Its VERY VERY VERY hard. I studied for 6 or 7 hours straight and got a 60something on a test. Yea- super hard. But- he is fun and he involves the class a lot. I guess... just pray a lot. :-)

Very entertaining professor. Keeps the class involved. Like everyone said somedays he just shows up and then we leave 10 minutes later. Notes are pointless. Read the book and then read it again. Tests are very difficult so dont put off studying.

Britton is one of the coolest teachers in the BA. Very entertaining but tests are definitely hard. read, read, read the book.

READ READ READ READ THE BOOK! DO ALL ASSIGNMENTS FOR POP QUIZ MAKE UP! READ THE BOOK!!!!!!!

Macroecon sounds boring, but Britton really makes it not so bad. He knows how to relate the material to you. Tests aren't to bad, but advice pay the 40 or so dollars for the online myeconlab, print out the study guides and study them! They really help! Not a bad class at all! Take him!

Dr. Britton makes class interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this class if you truly want to learn about money and banking. Read the book, go to class and it is an easy A.

Has a lot of energy. Make sure to read the text.

I love this guy! He is super easy to talk to and more than willing to help anyone out. It is essential to read the text and buy the study guide or you will get the test and be completely lost. O..tutoring is available! I recommend this teacher! Do your work and you'll make an easy A.

Best prof at the UofA. My favorite class.

Great teacher. People who are complaining because he expects you to know the basics.....are you retarded? It's college...your suppose to know the basics!

Explains things well. Loves athletes.

Crystal clear. Great teacher. Tests are enjoyable if you study. Makes Economics a part of you. I went to class because I actually WANTED to.

Overall a very good professor. The class isn't a breeze, but it isn't overly difficult. He goes through subjects fairly quickly, so you should expect to do some studying outside of class. There are random pop-quizzes as a way to encourage attendance. He makes the subject very interesting. I found the class quite enjoyable.

Can be confusing when he bounces around the board drawing his graph and loves to use the class as an example.. very interactive

Professor Britton is awesome! I definitely recommend taking his class. I had no interest in econ what so ever and absolutely loved this class! Go to class and read the book and you'll be fine. I got A's on all of his test but one high B. This class is definitely manageable and Britton makes a very dull subject very entertaining. Great professor!

This is not an easy class but if you read the book, study, and go to class you can easily manage an A/B. Britton is probably one of my favorite professors! He is hilarious and makes the material interesting. Seriously he's crazy & likes to cuss so be prepared for that but it definitely kept me entertained. Take him if you can! You won't regret it!

Awesome teacher. Is extremely interactive with the class. Comes up with exciting and relevant examples. Make sure you read the book, sounds simple enough but I guarantee every bad grade in his class is because they did not read the book. I would recommend!

Dr. Britton is a great lecturer who uses great examples that really clarify his point. While he does cover all material in class, due to the vast amount he has to cover, he is not able to spend very long on each topic. For those who want an 'A' in the class, you should definitely buy the Study Guide (a useful 30 dollar investment).

He's an awesome professor. Lectures are interesting and pretty much his lectures are the tests. S.I. session is mandatory but helpful, worth going. While you do have to study, tests are really pretty easy. He's interesting and definitely worth taking!

Dr. Britton is an amazing professor! Attendance isn't mandatory, but he will give pop quizzes on occasion. He sparked my interest in econ (I thought I was going to HATE it before) and I would definitely advise taking him! If you take good notes and at least skim the book, you'll be fine. Just be ware of trickily worded test questions.

Great professor. Makes Econ interesting and his teaching style is great. Test can be hard but go to class, take notes and use the optional study guide, it will raise grade for sure. SI sessions help also.

Great teacher, interesting subject. If you can take this, get into Britton's lectures.

Seriously one of the best professors I have ever had! His tests may be a little difficult but the man is a genius when it comes to explaining things. You can tell he loves what he is doing! Is he also pretty hilarious! I am taking him this fall again and going to get a minor in econ because of Dr. Britton! I have and would recommend anybody and everybody to take him.

This was a fun but very hard class. He explains the material in a real life format, but the test are from a question bank and hard. Study all the notes you take in class and go to SI.

I had him this past semester. His lectures are extremely random and he tends to ramble. All he does is draw graphs and he rarely gives you exact notes. You kind of have to pick out what you think is important. I relied heavily on the book and the SI sessions to pass this class. His tests can be deceiving as well! He is a pretty good teacher!

I love this professor! Come to class on Friday especially, he likes to give pop quizzes.

He is a great professor! Lectures are usually pretty good, but economics can get boring sometimes. Attendance to SI sessions is 10% of the grade. Tests are m/c, tend to be pretty easy. Take Britton if you can!

Great professor, very helpful and provides funny and relevant answers. You do need to study and read the book but if you do you should be able to get an A. Does give pop quizes in class but if you show up its an easy 100%

Britton is the best! He is funny and usually lets class out early, Read the book and buy the study guide (he will talk about it on the first day) and you will be fine he sometimes has pop quizes but not too often

Great professor, very knowledgeable. Super clear, explains concepts well. Attendance is not mandatory but there are "pop-tests" as he calls them. Make sure you attend SI regularly (worth a test grade) and try not to miss too many pop quizzes. Definitely recommend.

This is a very interesting class to say the least. Lectures are almost always entertaining and it is relatively easy to get a good grade if you go to class and S.I. His test are very tricky at first so be sure to look at old test. Overall a great class.

He's a cool guy but is not helpful at all! PLEASE do not listen to the people below and read the book or study guide! His tests are very identical to past tests which your SI leader will give out! Make sure you come to class for pop quizzes and go to SI and study practice tests and you should get a B!

I came out with a B! All you need to do is go to class and do all the pop quizzes, go to EVERY SI, and study the old tests given to you by SI instructor and you'll be fine!

Britton is a great guy with an energetic personality. Generally explains things well, but sometimes sidetracks a little. Memorize equation and terms sheet for tests and understand graphs from notes or SI sessions and tests are not too hard. Never really needed textbook.

Go to class anyway, he is super interesting to listen to and you will always get bonus points for going to class on Friday.

Good teacher, Funny. Interesting course. Go2 every class. Take detailed notes. On pop tests, write down everything, not just what he asks (from notes); expand upon it if possible. Study the practice tests for the material, and NOT the answers (try to understand what each answer means, not just the correct one). For me, the class was easy, but YMMV.

Dr. Britton is brilliant. He LOVES what he teaches. Sometimes he can get a little off subject, but if you go to every class and SI section you will be fine. Sometimes his tests can be tricky.. Always take good notes and review those for the test and you will be fine. I barely used the textbook and made a B in his class.

Britton's incredible; don't take macro with anyone else! Really approachable guy, and very skilled and presenting sometimes complicated material in a simple way. Obviously committed to quality teaching, which is great to see in a professor with as much experience as him. The book/study guide aren't needed if you attend lecture and SI.

Britton is AWESOME! I was kind of dreading this class, but he has made it very interesting and understandable. He knows his stuff. Go to class and SIs! Study old tests and don't bother buying the book or study guide. He gives in class quizzes and grades on a curve. TAKE THIS GUY FOR MACRO!

He is hilarious and gives real world examples

Britton is one of my all time favorites. Beer and broccoli is his style. Go to class, take notes, and supplement with grazing the book and you'll be fine.
