He's a really nice guy but very difficult to understand, which ultimately ends up making the class much more difficult than it should be, although the material of the class (its intro micro) is exceptionally easy
he is a nice guy..but expects you to know too much, u pretty much have to study for yourself and spend a lot of time studying. if ur up for that take him..good luck
mm, he is a nice guy-helpfull. Just do the homeworks.
Just do all the homeworks and right before the midterms/final, he gives you the questions to the essay part to take home and practice. This is definitely not a easy "A" class, but if you do the homeworks and show up to class, you'll be ok.
This class will make you hate econ. The professor barely understands the material and constantly has trouble computing simple math. You never really know what he is talking about even though he is trying to just restate info from the book. Horrible teacher, but do the homeworks and you might be ok.
You may have difficulty understanding what he is saying, but he gives you the essay questions before the exams. Make sure to know the graphs, thats the key. Do the hw and read the text and you'll be fine. Also he drops your lowest grade if you attend the majority of the classes. Lot's of quizzes and a few tests.
gives essay questions before tests which make it easy, but multiple choice questions tend to be confusing and out of nowhere. read the text a lot and actually DO the homeworks and you should be fine. he's generally a generous grader.
No Comments
Don't take him if you want to understand economics. Very boring and attempts to teach but just repeats from the book. Yes, he does give you the essay questions before the tests/quizzes but his multiple choice questions are kinda hard. Emphasizes a lot on graphs and math aspect of ECO. Will drop lowest test grade with good attendence.
cannot speak right (very heavy accent and on top of that doesnt speak loud enough) dont take him, trust me you'll hate him!!!!!
HE SUCKS!!! THIS CLASS INSISTS YOU TO FAIL....DO NOT TAKE IT...STAY AWAY !!!
Do Not Take This Class! He doesn't speak clearly; he doesn't explain the subject matter clearly; basically he is a waste of 3 hours. I am an A student and I usually do not agree w/the ratings because most students don't want to do the required work so they complain. I can assure you however that this was not the case. The man shouldn't be teaching
I took him Spring 05, what a horrible professor. I am a junior now, and a minor in economics and i know more than him. His tests are retarted, if you dont do it exactly the way he wants even if you're right he'll fail you. I dropped out of his class mid-semester, took prof. guo instead got an A. Whatever you do stay away.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! he doesnt speak clearly. very stubborn. thinks he knows best about everything so hes not very open to questions--ask and he'll shut you down quick. doesnt teach, must teach yourself from the book. heavy accent and speaks low. STAY AWAY.
Hold a High steam respect for him.
Seriously, I don't understand these comments on this professor. The teacher explains the stuff pretty well, he gives multiple choice questions to do at home as a homework. All you have to do is read the book answer the questions. The questions on the test are exactly the same that he gives a homework. This teacher is fine
I cannot stress how horrible of a professor this man is! I had him for macroeconomics in Touro College. Honestly, this man is in his own little world. He is completley incomprehensible and speaks in a single continuous tone for two hours without stopping. Your opinions or questions mean nothing to him. You've been warned!
He is a huge waste of precious time, your tuition money and to top it off he will lower your GPA. His lessons never make any sense and has no guidelines to anything, be it exams, projects and/or presentations. If your opinions dont agree to his then he won't like you. There is no way out. I should have dropped him when I had the chance!
He will make you wish you never took his class. He can't teach and he changes his words very often. Never makes any sense. Not engaging of a professor so you get bored and do not become engaged in his class as well. It works both ways professor!
full of contradictions and double standards.
What do you keep lying to yourself? Why do you keep complaining you didn’t get an A? Did you work hard enough to earn it? I guess you did not. Students like you believe because some “good” teachers give easy A’s, they should be considered good teachers. You’re wrong buddy!!!! Let’s see, why makes him a bad teacher? Oh, I know. To make sure you lear
you learn, but truly learn is what makes him a bad teacher. I wonder why Pace has a low quality education. What about doing some real studying for once, instead of blaming Prof: Ikwueze for your laziness. You should be thankful, ‘cause he isn’t lying to you. You did not get a good grade, because YOU DID NOT EARN IT.
I took him for micro. He's good. Very nice guy. Just do the homework. You have to be an idiot to get a bad grade.
If you dont get a good grade in his class, you are an idiot. I took for my micro class. Just do the homework.
If you are a hard working student and are willing to get a better grade take Eco 238 course with him.
Great Professor! He's a really nice guy. As long as you are a hard-working student and you complete the homework assignments, you will do very well. The reason why people do poorly is because they are extremely lazy, and they don't want to do the homeworks or put any effort into the class. Overall, the class was great and I really learned a lot!
I wish I can take him for more courses. I only have positive things to say about him. Very knowledge, organized, and well prepared for each lecture. Gives out great handouts that are a summary of the material in the book. One of the only professor at Pace that is able to connect book material with real ongoing examples in our business world today.
The homework are a great way to review and practice for the exams. They acquire a good amount of your time but then again you come to school to learn and absorb new information. A must take for all business majors. Ignore the comments below, they are just students who are lazy and expect everything to be handed to them. THIS IS THE REAL WORLD A++++
he's boring but easy..its really hard to stay awake..exams are easy..pay attention cause he usually gives exams queations prior to exams...very very very boring and at times hard to understand...he tends to give you points for wrong answers on multiple choice questions cause he understanmds why you put that anmswer..but overall hes easy!!!!
horrible is all i have to say!!!! you fall asleep in class even if you were wide awake before you came in. dont understand anything he says. might as well just read the text and teach yourself
Worst professor to take any economics course with! Beware, if you go to clas and take notes you will still be lost, if you like an idiot with a low voice and a major accent go for it, but you have been warned. He is not suitable for teaching. Pointless professor
In all honesty, his class is very confusing. He is very sweet and will spend hours after school until you understand the lesson, but I wouldn't take him.The grading includes 3 tests, and he counts homework and attendance. He grades everything out of 100%.
do not take this class not worth it, go else where
This professor is very knowledgable in his area. If you show up to class, take good notes and read the text book thoroughly you should be fine. The course material is a little bit difficult but the professor is always available after class if you need any help. Overall this professor is very organized, educated and helpful.
Great guy. Very understanding. Good teacher.
Here's the bottom line with Ikwueze - HE IS BY FAR THE WORST ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT PACE. His class is boring, you can't understand him over his thick Nigerian accent, and you can't understand the notes in class. On the first day he told the class if we didn't know economics like him we could not achieve an A. STAY AWAY!!! WORST PROFESSOR!!!!!!
he's a pretty good teacher. his test are easy you just need to do the hw then you'll do well on the test. he'll stay after class if you need help. take him. attendence is important n well let you do hw over if its wrng.
he's easy attendance is mandatory take him the test is basicaly the hw. take him
This professor is very nice and willing to help you out if you ask him. His test aren't bad if you study and do the homeworks he gives you. You can basically get a A if you study the book a bit. Good teacher to learn from.
He can be hard to follow in class, but he is helpful with the homework and review he gives. He does not try to trick you with tests. They are based on the homework and he gives you the essays before to prepare.
he is a good professor, however sometimes unclear about some of the theories he teaches. also i woudl suggest to sit upfront, because sometimes you cant hear him... but he is a good professor overall. And his tests are fair game, and he tries extremely hard to get everyone to participate and have an interest in the topic.
He is by far the most dedicated and prepared professor at Pace.He spends extra time with students to help them understand the material. After taking his class you'll have the knowledge you need for upper level courses. People who give him bad reviews are not serious about college. He is a MUST TAKE!
He is a very good professor who expects you to study on your own so if your not the type of person who studies and does homework than this class is not for you but if you are, I truly recommend this class because he cares alot about his students and their success
As long as you keep up with the hw(which is not hard) and study what he recommends you study, you should do well
A very nice person, who respects his students. As long as you come to class, do the homework (very easy) and hand it in on time, show that you are paying attention and showing work, you shall get good grades on the midterm, final, and the course. There is also one research paper but it's not a big deal. I really recommend to take his class.
good professor
If you go to every class and do all your homework you should get an A. The exams reflect the homework questions for the most part.
Interesting course, straight forward material, sometimes expectations unclear.
Great professor, although there is homework for every class, his tests are based on those as well. So to get an A, go to all his classes, do all the homework and ace your test. He really understands the concepts and so if your a Finance or Economics major, he is a must for this course.
the class itself is ok, he is difficult to understand at first but you will get used to it. he takes attendance every class, the homeworks are not bad, if you do them they help your grade alot. There is a group term paper also. Make sure you have the book!
I recommend him to other students.
He was patient and courteous.
Accent was hard to understand at first, but you will surprisingly understand him as the weeks go by. Fair exams. Textbook was very helpful. Great grading system.
no no no no
he knows his stuff, but i wished he would speak up more so you can understand what he is saying. Tests are extremely related to the homework and he gives you the essay. It's a good class
I'll tell you honestly this professor is very good. He likes student; he is always ready to help. I am very happy that I took this course I LEARNED A LOT. I feel bad that I did not have enough time to do homework on time. But it did not prevent to have clear understanding of everything from this class. I highly recommend taking this class
Just don't.
Good information. Helpful subject to take.
His accent was a little bit difficult to understand in the beginning. If you do the homework and study the essay questions he gives you before the exam you should be fine. However he is very unclear when he explains things in class so make sure you read the book.
Unclear at first. Do the hw and essays and you'll be good for the exams.
He is kind of strict about attendance and hw doing. But if you do everything as he says, you will be good and learn quite a lot.
He is a nice teacher. He treats every student very well. Doing HW on time and Reading textbook, you can get a good grade.
He is a very helpful and understanding person, as long as you do all the homework and follow the textbook, everything will be clear to you. He can work on his time management a bit more. I recommend taking him for Int'l Econ.
This professor is more than fair when it comes to allocating time either in person or via email to help students with questions. It's very important to him that the students "get" the material. Doing homework and paying attention in class is all you need to succeed.
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER WHO LOVES THE SUBJECT AND IS WILLING TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE WITH ALL STUDENTS, HIS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND READY TO HELP. A GREAT TEACHER TAKE HIM YOU WILL LEARN A LOT!!!! LOVED THE CLASS INT ECO
This is a professor who has a clear understanding of how to teach students and the material necessary for them to understand to pass. His class is as good as it gets.
The professor was very nice and gave the questions for the exams for us to study, also let enforced us to correct our homework.
I recommend everyone to take this class. The professor is very nice and he is passionate about his teaching. Best of all, he is a very fair grader. I do not regret taking this class at all.
Very nice teacher. He knows what he is talking about and is very helpful. You will learn a lot.
He's a good professor however he makes a lot of mistakes and his voice is a bit low. His tests are based directly on his hw questions. do the hw and you're guaranteed a good grade.
Great teacher, very helpful. if you pay attention in class do the homework, term paper, and have good attendance you a guaranteed a good grade.does have an accent, but its easy to get use to.TAKE HIS CLASS!
Great Professor! He knows the subject very well... Homework is required and attendance is mandatory too. If you come to class and do all of the homeworks and the group paper you should have an A in the class. The homeworks are very VERY VERYY similar to the tests. Follow the chapters in the book and do the homeworks.. simple
A little hard to understand at first because of his accent, but you get used to it. As long as you go to class and do the homeworks its easy. All of the tests pertain to the homeworks, so as long as you study the homeworks the tests are an easy A, as well as the class.
Professor Ikwueze was very helpful and knows the material very well. If you do the homework you will do well on the tests. He is also fair and gives you every opportunity to pass his class.
Prof. is fair and reasonable. Easy to do well in this course if you do the homework, ask questions, have perfect attendance and do the extra credit work. As long as you keep up with the homework in timely fashion, you should be able to do fine in this class.
Has an accent, but still understandable. Can be difficult to follow because he confuses things sometimes. Still, not a difficult class. Homeworks are graded (easy), and tests are heavily based off homework. Will raise you a full letter grade if you attend class/write the research paper. Prof is fair, just be patient. Expect to work for your grade.
Professor is a GOOD teacher. He knows what he is teaching. He is also very fair, and understanding. Highly recommend him!
Professor Ikwueze is very prepared in the field of Economics. He masters the material so good that it makes it easy for the students to do well in the class. There is one homework for every chapter, a midterm and a final exam. All these are the final grade. If you study you should get an eazy A. Highly recomend him.
His English is atrocious. he would just write things on the board and not explain them, when a question was asked he would be defensive and not answer it. He actually admitted to us that he lost papers on the bus which we never saw again, and his grade book was a test booklet with scribbles.
The class would often speak as a group to how we learned nothing and paid so much for the course. He tried to squeeze in a ton of material at the end of the course to make up for not being attentive to the syllabus throughout the semester. The man doesn't speak english and hast to be writing these reviews!
My time, Money, and effort was completely wasted on Professor Ikwueze. he has a defensive attitude when asked a question, and cant even speak the English language. Worst prof at pace and im SURE he writes these reviews casue they are clearly not discussing the same person that CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH
This guy is a joke, one of the worst professors ive ever had. No one who took this guys class wrote the previous reviews it must be the eco dept or the prof himself. He is super boring and no one can understand anything. His grading system is a joke... My major is actually considering removing the class requirement cause so many people complained
Not the best professor. You won't learn anything. But it's worthwhile for the easy grade. Basically gives you the entire test before the exam to look over. Easy grade all in all.
I thought his class was BORING and not fun at first but once you get to talk to him 1 on 1 he does care. He gives 3 tests and he will give ALL the answers a week before the test. Study the answers and you are going to get an A!
he's not that bad
he IS that bad, you shouldnt be taking a class just for the easy grade. It was legit painful to sit thru every day
His class was painful to sit through. His English is not the problem, he has an accent but is very clear. BUT his speaking voice makes you sleepy, not an engaging speaking. He could use less lecturing, more participation, and finish class when he's actually done with the lecture instead of rambling on. Mandatory attendance AND homework sucked.
Ok a lot are people are right its a tough class to sit through.Now I'm not saying its gonna be 6 hours of studying but 1 to 2 will get you B to an A on the THREE tests. He wants you to get an A as bad as you do.He gives you all the tools to get an A. And he Gives you all the answers for tests beforehand! Get through the lecture. you'll be fine.
Professor Ikwueze is very nice and is always there to help. However, it's difficult to understand his teaching style sometimes. He really knows what he's talking about, but is not very good at explaining. If you work hard in the class and do all the homework, it is not difficult to get an A.
Really Really bad, he threw in alot of assignments in the last few weeks of the course. Painful to sit through is an understatement, AVOID!
Good Professor.
Good Professor
I had Professor Ikwueze for two classes. He is one the best professors at Pace. He helps his students both in and out of class because he truly cares about his students and If you have an opportunity to take him you should take it. If you study and do your home work there is no way you can fail.
Amazing professor! Gives you essay questions for exam a week before the exam! The homework questions are the exact ones on the test! He has simple homework. He curves your grade up by one whole letter for 2 or less absence! All in all awesome class and professor!
Prof. Ikweuze's course requires students to familiarize themselves with the materials: usually notes he passes out. I cant stress how important it is to attend his class, it helps preparing for the exam. Homeworks are easy as they are multiple choices, but required knowledge of material. Most of the content of the exams are mentioned and hinted.
Great professor, very sweet and helpful. If you do the homework and show up to class, there is no reason not to get an A. This class is interesting and the material you learn is useful and important.
Professor Ikwueze is a great teacher. The material itself is challenging, but he really clarifies and simplifies it to make it understandable. He really knows his stuff, and has much experience in the industry. I strongly recommend his class to anyone interested.
Attendance is mandatory, and his class can get very boring at times, but its worth attending (as far as preparing for the exams) As long as you do your part of the work, there is no reason not to get an A. He's one of the few that actually cares about his students!
Nice professor. follow his rules and show up in class. work hard. then its a easy A. sometimes might get boring. MUST do your hw(its what on the exams...) Textbook is essential!
Easy class, everything the professor says is in the textbook. The homework are multiple choice, and most of those questions are found on the exams. He e-mails the essay questions before the exams, so make sure to type up and memorize the answers. He makes your letter grade go up if you attend every class. All in all, should be an easy A.
Terrible teacher. Can't speak english. His homework questions are made by him and some of the questions don't make any sense. Strongly suggest staying away from him!
It is not difficult to pass this class as long as you do the homeworks, attend class, and study for the tests. The homeworks are all multiple choice and most of the exam questions come straight from the homework. He curves your grade higher if you have good attendance. I would recommend this professor.
Loved this class. Do the homework and you should be alright. Faced difficulties with the essay questions, however, prof Ikwueze worked around the students and will boost grade by handing in a 3 page paper. TAKE HIM!!!
Professor Ikwueze is GREAT!I loved attending the class because its very interesting. It exposed me to the principles of MacroEconomics. He knows his material and explains it very well. He makes time with his student because when I didn't understand something he made time after and taught it to me. He makes the concepts understandable. TAKE HIM
Great professor in every way. He is very knowledgeable about economics in general, and is always available for help if you need him. Exams are very fair, covering the homework(s) for the most part. The textbook is a must as a supplement to his lectures. Work load is probably a 6 or 7 out of 10. If you enjoy economics, I highly recommend him.
One of the most helpful professors Ive had in a long time. Anytime I didnt understand something he always emailed me back right away or met with me after class. The book is a must and the HW is preety easy. If you get 8 wrong on the HW its still an A and he uses the same questions for the EXAMS. I HIGHLY recommend him.
He will put you right to sleep. You will notice everyone brings there laptop to do other stuff in the class. All hw's are the same questions for the exam. He was an easy teacher but very difficult to work with. Your teaching yourself the subject but if you want an easy grade here's your A. but no help from the teacher and hes not knowledgeable
The Professor was very knowledgeable. His lectures are helpful in understanding the material instead of relying only on the book.I learned a lot about international economics such as why and how countries engage in trade. This course also helps in the understanding of macroeconomics. Overall the course was useful and taught by a great professor.
WORSE PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS. You cannot understand a word this man says, he is incomprehensible, mean, and does not answer any questions directly. You basically depend on the textbook to pass the class. Everyone in class either sleeps, texts or plays games on electronic devices. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Absolutely terrible professor! Commonly missed class (then got mad at the students for that) and was extremely disrespectful to all students.
This guy is the easiest professor on the planet. He gives everyone hand outs with practice questions every class. The tests are the exact same questions as the practice questions! As long as you study the worksheets he gives out you will get no lower then an A!
this professor is a bit hard to understand sometimes but overall an ok professor. You really need the book for this class. He gives you HW assignments for every chapter. Your tests are based on your HW assignments. I dont like how he grades the essay portions on test he grades them harshly. attendance is a must if you leave early he mark you absent
Not a really good teacher. Really hard to understand and makes it really confusing the material. Had to teach myself everything. Makes you attend class and if you leave early it counts as an absence. Plan to read the book
Ok so here's the thing. If you expect to go into this class and expect to learn about macroeconomics switch classes NOW! If you want an easy teacher that gives easy tests and grades nicely then stay. His tests are the homeworkers he gives. THIS IS KEY! If you want an A in this class study the homeworkers he gives. Word for word on the test
Worst professor I've ever had I'm an econ major and this professor made me hate econ for a whole semester. He should quit teaching, honestly.
The man is extremely intelligent, unfortunately he can't communicate the ideas. His lectures are repetitive and dull which is a shame because he obviously has a passion for teaching and economics. You will have to teach yourself everything. If you can self teach and don't mind using class time for reddit then this class isn't too bad.
