Very in to using multimedia teaching tools. Good explanations.

take an intro econ class prior, so you know what he's talking about

doesnt use book but you can follow if you pay attention in class

Study the practice exams.

good teacher, tries his best to make things interesting, tests hard...

get good grades on prob sets-they keep ur grade up, def. study for tests

Trys very hard. Jokes bad, but still funny. Medium difficulty class.

Easy class. Common sense. Makes class fun with multimedia. Best econ out there.

Tough but easy to study for with the CD, best econ prof here

Pretty good prof, somewhat full of himself, class somewhat boring, but easy

lectures can be boring, but i learned A LOT. good prof, knows his stuff. do cd.

I actually remembered stuff from this class! "Click next to continue"

good prof., tries to be funny but class is still boring, read book and use cd

knows his stuff. do homeworks! tough class, but fair

best teacher in department. excellent lectures

Hard, but good prof...makes the stuff interesting...take himbut do work

He does a good job of presenting a boring subject in the best way he can

REALLY EASY! Just do the homework & practice tests=easy A.

Great professor

Great professor, loves his subject, makes econ easy. Do CD and prac tests!

Boring class

Nice. huge class, TAs are helpful, makes a boring subject interesting. do CD

he makes econ fun, my suggestiong to is to do his cd modules before lectures

Good teacher...knows his stuff, can be confusing but cd is help. TAs are helpful

He is the best teacher you'll ever have. I wish all teachers were like him.

takes attendance, class is boring - i slept all the time, but was not that hard

Good teacher and very easy class. Wants students to do well, gives extra cedit.

Very easy class... good teacher

easy, go to class, very helpful

Easy class, but not as easy as other 151 profs.CD is golden, and he's very clear about what will be on exam, no surprises.He hasn't mentioned sex once this semester, I swear!

Boring subject matter. He livens it up with multimedia approach. At best, the course is bearable.

He has spirit, I'll give him that. If you don't care so much about business and the economy, he get's you interested. Take it with him, and you'll definitely laugh. I'm not going to say it was easy though, decide for yourself.

I have taken him for 151 and a 400 level and learned so much. If you are an econ major you will benefit from his knowledge. Can seem intimidating at first but is really a great Econ professor!

Not the easiest class in the world, but not that difficult. Go to class, do the extra credit, and put in some work and you will be fine. He wants you to succeed. Economics is real boring.

Very easy class. Go to review sessions! They help! Highly Recommended! Very easy class if you pay attention. Take it!

Best teacher I've had yet. He puts in a tremendous amount of energy into making the class interestig. He literally put on a show for us the fist day of class. :)

love it

he had tight way of teaching....he uses all computer technology and funny skits to teach

The class material is not cake, but is not impossible. Link is probably one of the best communicating economics professors I've had.

hard class! if you're not a math person, don't take econ. Link is a good teacher with a very interesting method of teaching. He's a nice guy, but the class is very difficult.

Ok, so I was gonna rate him lower until I received a personal letter thanking me for my suggestions on how to improve the class. His presentation of material is better than most and with weekly review sessions and his two TA's its hard not to get help.

He's very structured, but did a great job of teaching the course.

STUDY THE CD U GET, THATS HOW U LEARN THE STUFF. STUDY THE CD...NICE GUY, puts in energy, not a great explainer but he knows his shizzisms

Link definitely knows his stuff...problem sets can be really confusing at times but one of the first profs I've had where the exam reviews actually give you insight into what will be on the tests. Lots of little extra-credit assignments too, they add up.

Very structured, organized...attempts to make an insanely boring class interesting. Overall he's probably the best prof you could have for 151...

Very nice guy, he tries really hard explain everything well though he doesn't always, he's also always available for help and tries to make the relationship w/ his students as personal as possible. Best teacher you could have for intro econ

very easy course if you go to lectures and do the assigned work. super nice guy, tries his hardest to keep you interested in the wonderful world of economics

boring class, but he jazzes it up ok. he requires way too much for a lecture class though. 142 people, and he collects homework. he's a cool guy, but i'd recommend crazy will harris.

Great prof. Go to class, do all the extra credit and study quzzes for exmas and you will do fine.

Link is an incredibly intelligent man and an expert on Economics.

I think he's a superb teacher. His slides are hard to follow sometimes since I try to copy everything down, but he is very structured and he explains things well. Uses aplia but I wish he would put practice aplia sets up first. Good teacher though.

Very organized professor, required problem sets and aplia help with understanding the course material. Fair tests and quizzes. Multimedia approach is good for ECON151. Cant buy used textbooks for his course, publishes a new one every semester he teaches. Tons of help available if you need it.

Link is one of the most devoted teachers at delaware. He tries very hard to make the class interesting (and succeeds). Also ivolves a lot of technology which keeps it interesting. Whether you like economics or not this is a class to take just to have a great teach who treats each student as an individual which is hard in a large class.

Excellent...best teacher thus far!!

At first, I thought this man was a little bit goofy, running out the first day in a flourescent pink hat and a tank top, dancing to "Lets get ready to Rumble." But, he is a great teacher, very knowledgable, and more than willing to help. The material is tough to understand, but I am not into econ, so that might be why. Lot of work too, but plenty of points to get a good grade if you miss something. Highly recommended for non-econ people. Plus, plenty of applications and learning aids.

his 151 class is pretty tough, but its going to be with any professor you have, its not easy material. he does a great job at keeping it as interesting in possible. study abroad with this guy! best time i ever had, he was way laid back and understood that there'd be days when we weren't going to get anything done because of the nite before. A+

A real joke of a class, if you're at all intelligent you'll do fine. He tries very hard to make in intresting, is always willing to help, and discuss things. He's very nitpicky about everything (must have name, stapled, row, seat, etc on everything you turn in).

Distinguished and credible professor. AMAZING teaching style and very interesting multimedia approach. Class is tough but very interesting!! Inspired me to minor in Econ! Go to class, review sessions, and watch CD rom. You will learn a lot and become very interested in economics! Dan Brown's review sessions = very very helpful!

Excellent professor who is crafted in educating. His multimedia techniques are a very effective way of teaching and with limited effort, this class and its exams are very easy. Apart from the exams, Grading is primarily focused on bi-weekly homework assignments that are simple. The essays also tend to be easy. Link also offers several ways to rais

He's a nice guy but i really feel like he makes the class alot harder than it has to be. He tries hard to make the class fun, but econ is pretty dull. Study for his tests, they are a little tricky. Not bad overall

SO HOT and when he dances he lifts my heart and soul.

I HATE the grade-track system, but Link's an ok guy. A lot of work, but he's flexible when it comes to due dates and that sort of thing. Cares about his students. Exams are fair too, but know the readings. A good 400 level

He is just and ok teacher. I somehow got lucky and got B's on all his exams. The problem sets help your grade, and if you didn't get a question, you can always turn to the person next to u and get the answer from them. The class was just ok and I'm sure it could have been easier. Just go to class and DON'T FALL ASLEEP!

Extremely nice guy and very willing to help. Uses a very interesting multimedia approach which is helpful. His custom notebook has everything you need in it, including past exams, and the majority of the notes pre-printed. Recommended highly!

Best teacher I've had a Delaware. He is really smart, organized and helpful. Yes, you have to go to class and do the work but you'll get an A if you pay attention. His multimedia presentations help so much while taking notes. He's so smart and really tries to help his students. Don't take this class if your not willing to put in the effort.

Link is a very highly regarded prof in his field and great 151 teacher. His multimedia approach makes it easier to pay attention and you have many chances to improve your grade. Exams are not easy, require some critical thinking. Not a bad class, easy enough for a B, B-

Very helpful and keeps lecture interesting. Mulitmedia approach is cool because it doesn't get boring.

You really need to bring your book. The presentations are in the book and follow along in class and fill in the blanks in the book. Review sessions are very helpful, use the practice tests. He is really nice and passionate about econ. I really enjoyed the class

Prof. Link is a good guy. I happened to like econ so I enjoyed the class, but I know people who didn't. Lectures are very professional though and the review sessions are helpful. You can't go wrong with Prof. Link

Attendance is required. Very helpful , TA's are also very helpful and make time for you. Exams suck, but after talking to people who have Harris (his counter part) you learn a lot more about micro. in my opinion Link is a great teacher although classes are sometimes a bit boring, just make sure to look at old exams, also he curves the final grade.

what? def was my best prof this fall. Although his 151 class is a little harder than Hariss aka Crazy Willy, Link is worth taking because you learn so much more in his class so that in the spring when you take 152 (required for all business students) you'l actually know what your doing. his teaching style is very effective and i got a B+ TAKE HIM

This class is easy if you are willing to pay attention in class... Link is great at explaining concepts and makes the easy content even easier to understand. Additionally, he makes the class less boring by throwing in random funny video clips or cartoons involving economics or politics. I highly recommend this class to any IR majors.

Anyone who says this man is not a good teacher is crazy. I was originally skeptical when I got a 78 on my first exam. Then I really listened to what he was saying and used the CD he supplies to the max and got a 94 on the next exam. Honestly, he puts so much effort into explaining things for you, you just need to stay awake. Great teacher

Great professor, truly knowledgeable

Link is a great guy. He is always available in his office as well as his 3 other TA's..he takes attendance(yes, even with 300ppl), but he drops lowest exam grade, and exams arent too difficult, although the final was a little harder than i anticipated, so i would recommend studying more for that..i would take him again =)

Solid professor. Very simple to get an A if you look over his notes prior to the exams. Theres plenty of extra credit and huge curves. Sometimes boring and people only really got into trouble if they didn't pay attention during lecture, which can be tough, but is completely worth while.

Link definitely knows his stuff and he wants all his students to do well but the lectures are extremely boring. He expects you to master concepts right away and gives a lot more work than other professors. The exams aren't too hard if you do the practice exams and he gives huge curves on exams. Not a horrible teacher but try to get Harris.

This is a very big lecture and he is very adamant about his "system" which is good because you get your exams back the next class period and such. He is a good professor, I didnt think his lectures were too boring and I definately learned more than the other econ classes. It doesnt reuire a lot of work and the practice exams and real ones are same.

class was pretty boring and he breaks up the hour and fifteen minute class with corny top ten lists. make sure you do practice exams in back of book before the test and he curves which is nice. do the extra credit because you probably will need it.

Professor Link is a very intelligent man and know his stuff when it comes to Econ. I recommend him to anyone interested or required to take an Econ course. It is not the easiest class if you don't go and don't pay attention, but if you do it's very easy to get an A

Link is a great econ teacher. He truly does care about your success in this course and takes a lot of steps to help you succeed. Use the practice tests and do the plus minus. Curves which helps

He is good at explaning econ concepts by graphs. Attendence is necessary to get a A. If you could understand his lectures then you do not need to spend too much time on reading text book!

link is a good guy. if you go to class and pay attention and take notes you wil do well. His exams are very similar to the sample exams he provides. go to the review sessions before problem sets are due, it will help! not too bad of a class, i studied for the exams and did my work and was able to pull off an A pretty easily.

Dr. Link uses graphs very effectively to demonstrate economic concepts. His monotone voice can make class seem longer but staying awake is important because very useful information is presented in class. Problem Sets are homework that will help you for each exam. Though the homework is graded, you can do very well by using office hours to review.

He knows what he's talking about, it's just that I don't. It's a big class but he keeps after-class sessions to help you out.

He's an awesome!1.clear enough even for foreigners like me.2.easy tests with example tests which are similar.3.+/- strategies are good.Those who regard these as trouble are silly because these are optional.4.Problem sets are easy even for beginners like me.5.use big screen to show you what's going on.6.He's funny or at least he's trying to be funny

Dr. Link is VERY smart and cares a lot about his students. He could have done a better job simplifying the concepts... His lectures are far too complex for illustrating the simplistic concepts

Professor Link is an awesome professor. I loved his class. If you actually study and do the work for his class, you should be fine. He is very helpful and he tries to keep the class entertained. Also, he puts a ridiculous curves on his exams. Definitely recommend. I would take him for Macro if he taught it.

Dr. Link is a great professor. Although his lectures are complex, they make the material more understandable. His tests aren't very hard because he guves you review tests. Also, he tends to keep the class on a light note sometimes with top tens and political videos.

As far as econ professors go, Link was decent. He's a nice guy but the material is tough but he tries to make it fun and interesting with his powerpoints. However it's still pretty boring.

He gives you plenty of opportunities for grades. Do well on the problem sets, they'll boost your grade. Take the practice tests in the book before exams. Definitely study, but overall a pretty fair guy.

The notes you take in class as well as the textbook are very helpful for studying so it's important that you go to class and actually pay attention. I came in not knowing anything about econ and I was fine. This class does require a lot of work so you can't expect to just have A handed to you but it really isn't as bad as most people on here say

One of the best professors I've had at UD. Class was alright for a 400 level. Fair grader. Exams were long but not too bad, the final is a take home. Extremely helpful and very personable, loves his students. Very knowledgeable about the field.

Charlie is a great teacher. If you pay attention and go to class it's pretty hard not to do well. He tries really hard to make class fun.

trys to make the lectures fun. really nice guy but difficult class. tests are hard and you have something due every week. recommended but you have to attend class to do well.

He is very helpful and friendly, he also has his review sessions that are very useful to attend. u will have a lot of work during semester and requires to study prior class or else your lost

Really cool guy. Tries to make his class as fun as Econ class could be, but most of the time makes it quite boring. He can be pretty confusing on some topics, but if you come prepared, you'll have no problem understanding what he says. If you read the book before each lecture and do all the problem sets, you should get an easy A.

Easily to take notes in the class because he used the textbook a lot and have nice software to help you. Read the textbook after class will help you on problem sets.

I think Dr.Link is a very nice professor,his class is very clear and the review session and the problem set helps a lot.

If you try really hard and study, you will get an A. If your lazy, then goodluck lol. But he is such a helpful and nice professor that tries to make eco(boring) into a fun lecture.

He's really passionate about his work and wants his students to do well. Though sometimes it's a little hard to understand what he's teaching, but his TAs are really helpfulfor clarification. He keeps the class not so boring too. I recommend him.

I really liked having Link as a prof. I liked the most that although the exams aren't easy, you can still get a good grade in the class even if you bomb one. I got a B on each exam but I got an A in the class cause there's so many other grades that affect it (problem sets/in-class exercises, etc). He's a real chill guy and presents the info well

Link is super nice! He's really helpful if you go to him and he really will go out of his way to help you. There are extra credit opportunities so do them! The TA's are also very helpful. The class seems overwhelming at first but if you follow his instructions you should be fine. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM

Its a very easy class. Just study before the night of the exam and you will be fine. He has practice exams and studying review guides which are very helpful. Class is extremely boring, you will fall asleep a lot be prepared

Not the easiest class but also not the hardest. Gives lots of material that can help you do well. Definitely have to study for exams. Some extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Lectures are boring even though he tries to make them interesting. Hard to get an A, easy to get a B. Better than most other professors who teach this course.

Good teacher, material is very straightforward in class. Offers review sessions outside of class time which absolutely saved my grade. Multiple chances for extra credit with not a lot of work involved for it. Easy B, easy A if you put in some work.

If you are willing to put in the work this class really won't be that hard. The class is normally really boring, so read the text book to catch keep up with class. His review sessions are really helpful before the tests or when there is homework due. Attendance isn't mandatory but there is a clicker question everyday that counts toward your grade.

Great Teacher! You have to go to class and do the assignments. There are review sessions all the time, he is always available for office hours. The tests aren't that bad. Just follow his course outline and do everything the way he asks you to and you'll be fine.

Very engaging teacher. One of the best but you have to work hard. He is a trickster on exams

His class is pretty straightforward but if you don't attend class frequently or put in the extra effort you probably won't pass. He comes off aggressive but is pretty down to earth. Always willing to help

link's class was kinda boring but he also spiced it up a bit by showing clips of latenight shows and funny cartoons. easier than the rest of the professors

He is so funny. You need to go to class because his textbook doesn't have all the information, and go to the review sessions! He's good to go to in his office hours as are his very helpful TAs. The problem sets get easier with time but his exams get harder and harder, especially the final, but he scales them weirdly. Not hard to pass, but a hard A.

Good class, need to be there and pay attention

Dr. Link was the bomb! His classes are all multimedia based, with music, videos, and cartoons helping his teaching. He is passionate about economics and is good with explanations. We had 3 exams which weren't too hard. He gives extra credit. But attendance is mandatory since he gives clickers and both are a part of your grade. Overall great class!

There aren't many ways to make Econ easy or interesting, but Link really tries. There are problem sets, but honestly they saved my grade and the answers are usually online. Go to class because there are always clicker questions. He always talks to the last possible second of class which is really annoying, but overall the class isn't too bad!

Great professor, his class is difficult and u better be there for every class because of clicker questions, his exams are difficult but if u put in the amount of work he expects u will do fine, his problem sets are tough but really helps u learn the material

He tries to make a rather boring topic interesting, so props for that. Overall, I got what I needed out of his class. If you actually do the assignments he gives yourself and understand it, you should be fine. He is very open to extra help. His lectures get boring but they honestly aren't that bad.

If you're taking micro TAKE HIM. Keeps lectures interesting; clicker questions are graded and attendance is taken so go to class. The TA office hours are very helpful; they basically give you study guides for each exam. Homework each week--go to office hours and they'll go over it with you. Highly recommend out of all the econ professors.

This class is definitely doable if you study the material in the textbook - so make sure you buy the textbook! If you take the online version, you can skim through the lecture videos bc they are very dry but make sure you know the ins and outs of the subject material. The prof tests you on everything. Good luck!

Economics is a heavy topic especially if you aren't an Econ major, but Dr. Link made the class as enjoyable as possible. The class was a big lecture class (about 300 students) but he really does try to get to know everyone and make sure you don't feel like just a number. He's such a sweet guy, I really recommend taking him.

Link is the best prof for micro by far. Material is kind of boring, but he basically makes class a performance and keeps it entertaining. The tests were difficult, but there's so much more you do in the class (assignment-wise) that can bump up your grade. The textbook is basically guided notes for the lectures which is super convenient and helpful.

Dr. Link made me realize that economics IS actually relevant to our every day lives. You must get the course material booklet! He is very transparent about what you must do to succeed. For the first half of the class is not hard but the other half gets more difficult. Link sometimes speeds through difficult material and goes to slow on easy content

Weird guy. I got a little bored sometimes, but there was definitely some challenge and humor to the course. The online modules were great, and the exams were more than fair. If you took calculus, it will help you here. If you didn't, you'll be fine. Dr. Link really makes econ relevant. He has many review sessions and extra credit.

Online lectures were very long but Prof. Link seems like a good guy & he tried to make the lectures interesting as possible. This course is hard & I wish I put more effort into this class but he curves the exams & tries his best to make sure you get the best final grade possible. Wouldn't recommend the online course but would recommend Prof. Link.

Dr. Link does everything possible to keep all of his students entertained throughout the class, but his lectures are long. He is easy to find outside of class and so are his TA's which will explain concepts that are difficult.

Link is a good man that cares about his students. I didn't pay attention to 1 of his lectures, and just let the online modules teach me everything (extremely helpful, do them). He can ramble and get boring but he means well. BIGGEST complaint- the final exam. I didn't get below a 90 on the first 3 exams and barely scraped a 76 on the final.

Dr. Link is a really nice guy but teaches a really boring class. He does what he can to make it interesting, he does care about his students. Pretty easy tests, the modules will teach you everything. Homework about 1-2 times a week. You have to attend class because he takes attendance manually on top of clicker questions.

Link has been teaching for a while and you can tell he really loves his job, he tries to make the material more interesting with sound effects and graphics. Definitely have to go to lecture, because he gives random in class assignments. Has an option extra credit assignment, its annoying but do it. Def makes you work for an A.

Professor Link gives you every chance to succeed in his class. He communicates with the students in class and in e-mail more than any other teacher I have ever had. You need to go to class, get the course notes, and do the online modules. The tests are okay if you put in the time. He helps you however he can. Solid choice for this class!

He is very lecture heavy and gives clicker questions in class, so it's important to show up. He tries to make the lectures more entertaining by addng some sound effects but it can sometimes be distracting. Tests are fairly easy, just make sure to go to the review sessions, they help a lot.

Lectures are very fast paced and a lot is covered each time. So dont skip class and pay attention. No papers, clickers used almost every class (there is a clicker grade), online homework plus problem sets to hand in approximately every other week, and four exams. Practice exams plus reviewing problem sets is all you need for the exams.

Loved him. 3 grading options and he automatically picks the one that gives you the best grade at the end of the semester. He takes attendance 2 ways, so you can't give people your clicker to skip & clicker Q's count for points. His test prep is great. If you put in the work it's very possible to get an A or B. His online homework is very helpful.

His class was awesome. Very interesting. I did not have him as a freshman, but I did as a senior and from what I hear its a complete 180 in teaching tactics. He truly cares about his students, but wants you to figure stuff out yourself. He is very helpful in class though and his homework and notes are all on the test almost verbatim

makes you buy a textbook he wrote but it is useful for his exams. he is well organized and everything you need to know is given to you. problem sets are a little tough but they help your grade so take them seriously. do the borderline insurance and read the textbook, it will help a lot!!

Link is a very nice guy who knows what he's talking about, but lectures can get boring. He makes his own textbook that goes along with the lectures which is very helpful. There are study sessions outside of class every week which are very helpful, and he offers extra credit. I would take him again if I had the chance.

He may be dry, but he tries to make the lectures interesting. He does a great job at working through various examples which makes concepts clear. While he makes you buy his course book, it is actually super helpful, and is the only thing you should need to use to study for exams.

Link has one of the most unique teaching techniques I have ever seen. If you pay attention in class, go all of his reviewing sessions and read the materials he required in the syllabus, you will pass his class easily. Of course, this will take you a lot of outside class times. He has a lot of extra credit work that will turn your Fail to Pass.

I took it online and I understand why people might not like his class but I found his class easy. He only grades you on Asarta modulas (you can find the answers online) and the exams are kind of hard but he gives you practice exams, I think it would be much harder in person. His grading system is weird but he will give you the best grade he can.

I took Charles Link for the Winter Session (5 weeks) as a breadth and he was great. His class was asynchronous so you should watch his lectures and he has a good organization for his exams. There are 4 exams the last one being cumulative. He offers a chance to bring your grade up through his system that can count your final heavier than usual.

in 2020 a time where many good professors struggled to successfully get their material across, Prof. Link had no problem. I found that his lectures were fun and enjoyable to listen to. He explained the material in a way that made it easy to understand and easy to take notes on. The homework was helpful and was not just busywork

I took Link's class as an asynchronous class, which turned out to be fantastic. His lectures were easy to follow and the additional videos and modules he provides give all the extra information that might be necessary on the exams. He is very easy to reach and is very understanding. I would not have gotten good grades first semester without him.

Subject matter and lectures are dry, and there are a lot of them. Overall, Dr. Link explains things pretty clearly and I never had to ask him any questions. He's kind of crotchety when it comes to technology, so be warned about him responding to your emails. Homework is really easy and is actually helpful for tests. Study and you'll do fine

Dr. Link is a good Econ teacher. He is experienced, articulate of his ideas and quirky (which makes his lectures interesting). He wants to you to be engaged in his class. The only drawback is that sometimes his lectures feel like they get dragged out a bit. Otherwise, solid professor!

He is a great ECON professor and would definitely take him again if I wasn't switching colleges. I appreciated how passionate and experienced he. Some topics are heavy, but just study. He makes sure he talks about every concept and small thing you need to know. HW is easy and helpful. He gives practice exams. Pay attention to lectures and study.

Dr. Link gets basic economic concepts across clearly and often times entertainingly. He gives practice exams, and many of the questions on the tests come directly from the homework, and he tells you this specifically. Yes, the slides are a little dated-looking, but otherwise he is a very good professor.

Although he isn't the best with technology, he still can properly teach microeconomics. Professor Link is extremely passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to economics. He's a little quirky, but that's what makes his lectures interesting. I would definitely take another class with him again.

Dr. Link made economics interesting and easy. You don't need the textbook because he gives you most of the notes, and it's easiest to just show up for lectures. He makes class engaging with dance and joke breaks, and gives some of the test questions and answers on the sample exams, especially for the final. Some grades are completion-based.

A great choice and should be an easy A. He gives practice exams for all of the tests which are really helpful. In addition, he makes the average a B-. For example, if the average on a test in a 68, that is a B- so a 84 or 85 would be an A. His lectures are outdated but they get the job done and clearly teach you the concepts. Would recommend!

Link is the best, go to class, do your homework, and do the practice exams and you will be fine.

Dr. Link knows A LOT about economics! Sometimes lectures get boring, you have to learn on your own, he uses old style lectures, and he does not tell you your grade on Canvas which sucksss. Don't procrastinate, study before exams and you should be fine. 3 main course components: exams, modules, and problem sets.
