Make you think the class is easy until the exams. He doesn't review or lecture well so you have to do a lot of the reading yourself. Getting an A is possible as long as you READ.

I think the reason he's so disgruntled is that there's no good reason to not get at least a B. Show up to class, don't leave early, take 3 exams based directly on handouts and book.

4 exams. All questions and answers taken DIRECTLY from his slides, DO NOT miss class. If you have all the notes memorize them and you'll easily get an A. He even offers extra credit on top of that. He's also really funny. Take his class if you have the chance.

He forgets a lot what he taught and often repeats himself and/or puts things on the test that he thought he taught but he actually didn't. He doesn't really follow the textbook so it is hard to know which chapters would be covered on the test and to study for them. He is also very rude in my opinion.

Easy class to get a B in. Out of 80 students only 2 got As (very low As). There were 3 exams all worth the same and none of them were cumulative. The first two exams were really easy but the final was difficult. Take this class if you want an easy B, but good luck getting an A. Also he gives no HW and you don't need a textbook

Warmingham is the best- after taking him for Law and Econ, I've decided to take him again for Public Policy. He has 4 exams, of all equal weight and non cumulative. There is no curve however he does offer an extra credit presentation. Easy A if you study well for each exam

The professor is very set in his ways. He makes his own ideology very clear in his lectures, which can be a little irritating at times. There is also no way to access his slides if you do not come to class, so be sure not to skip, or at least not to skip often.

Easy A if you come to class and take notes. He doesn't use sakai, so either don't skip, have a friend who takes notes for you in class, or at least come to the lecture before a test (he goes over everything that'll be on the exam). Exam questions are straight from what he teaches in class. Would highly recommend.

Really good professor. His exams are straight off the powerpoints he goes over in class so if you take good notes and study them you're guaranteed to pass. He doesn't use sakai however, so make sure to show up to class. His lectures aren't boring like other econ classes. Wouldd def. take him again for another course.

For PPB and L&E Classes are straight forward. If you go to every class you will at least get a B, and if you study even a little after going to every class you will get an A. He makes it very clear what is going to be on the test, so as long as you understand the lectures you will be fine. He doesn't put his notes online though.

Only 4 exams which are not bad as long as you take notes from class. If you don't take notes, you'll do bad. The exams are mostly multiple choice, some exams had fill in the blank questions. I don't think he curves the class; however, there is an EC opportunity according to syllabus. Nice guy and funny, take him for an easier lower level elective.

Lectures compose of him calling his enemies "crooks and thieves" and reiterating how much he just "doesn't care" in general. I found his lectures pretty interesting though because of his character, and the class was pretty straightforward in terms of material (he essentially goes over what's on exams). Just pay attention and an A is likely.

Warmingham's classes are relatively easy. Just study the night before and you should get a good grade. He doesn't throw any curveballs on his exams, and the material is very straightforward.

This guy is a legend. He cracks jokes throughout the lectures and he really DOESN'T CARE lol. Lecture consists of just taking down notes from the slides and you have to attend class since he doesn't post the slides on Sakai. Tells you what's on the exam and is you show up and take notes you should get an A. A relatively easy class.

4 exams (each 25%), and are based solely on his slides. Doesn't post any slides or announcement through sakai. In times like covid-19, I personally think it is very crucial that he lets us know details of online exam and how the course will be conducted because people could miss class for different reasons. but he failed to do that still.

If you want an "easy A" like I did when I registered for the course, take his class. If you actually want to spend your tuition on learning (at least something interesting and not just common sense things), then consider other options. Exams are straightforward but I just feel unfulfilled by his class.

He made lectures interesting. No slides are posted so attend class, also there's a sign in sheet that helps you if you are on the borderline of a grade. 4 exams, 25% each; all MC, but closed book. If you pay attention in class, you'll know some of the answers to exams. Make sure to review properly before and you'll at least get a B.

Class is very easy A, there are 4tests 25% each all MC and the questions come straight from what he talks about during lecture.

Take warmingham for your lower level econ electives. Grading is very clear, just exams. As long as you take notes and study what he says in class and in lecture, you'll get an A. He even drops literal exam questions in class at times. Was never inspired by him or his teaching but I took this class to get an A and I got an A, cant ask for much more.

took asynchronously. 4 non cumulative exams, which are mostly composed of what he goes over in class. Should be a very manageable B if not A. exams are proctored but with no camera. honestly, the professor is a bit rude and wasn't the most capable with the sakii format. but he is an alright dude, I liked him and you can do well in the class.
