Dr. Uprety is a pretty easy going genuine person. He has a very thick accent so it can be difficult to understand him at times, but he knows this which is why he repeats himself often. 10 homeworks, 3 quizzes, 3 tests, is the entire semester. He lectures the entire class and if you come to class, do the homework, study it... you should get an A.

Professor Uprety is nice and really does care about his students but I would not recommend him as a professor. He spends half the class trying to draw graphs often to have students correct him. He can be hard to understand and although he is an intelligent man, he is not the best teacher. Beware of grading errors.

Very nice man that wants you to pass his class. I had him his first semester at UNCW so he struggled with a few things, but way better than some of my other first year starting professors. Lectures every class, but if you write down what he writes you'll be fine. Quizzes & Tests exactly like the HWs... sooo it's pretty easy to get an A.

Uprety much suck at teaching. It is not the fact he is really hard to understand, or the fact that his examples are scribbled senselessly all over the board, it is the complete lack of passion in every day he teaches. He singles students out by asking nonsense questions that are off topic and if you get it wrong he won' tell you the answer! beware

It's easy to get an A if you review all the practice problems given. It's useful to show up to class because some of the notes help. However, Uprety frequently messes up on practice problems done in class. So he'll do problems completely wrong, realize he made a mistake, and then not go back and fix it. This lead to a lot of confusion

Professor Uprety is a great specialist of his field. He gave true to life examples for the course material which made it easier to understand some of the complicated economics and finance concepts.

Professor Uprety is a very intelligent professor who wants his students to succeed. If you put forth the work, he is more than willing to help you. He gives weekly homework and quizzes that can be confusing and challenging, but he is always available during office hours and is willing to help.

He covers a lot of ground and if you are able to learn all of it, it will be very helpful and you will understand Economics much better. He uses predominantly multiple choice but some of the questions are tricky but it's good to be challenged.

Dr. Uprety is a good professor in that he wants students to succeed and gives extra credit opportunities to boost your grade. He is also very responsive to emails and willing to help. He is also very intelligent. I would recommend taking this class since it is not too little nor too much work and the tests are not cumulative which is nice.

Dambar was not at all a good professor, the worst I ever had in four years at UNCW. He was nigh on impossible to understand, routinely got grilled by his students and just had no idea how to teach the material despite his obvious intelligence. At least his final wasn't cumulative, and the exams were online...

Professor Uprety is almost impossible to understand. Class is not mandatory, but now even worth going you can't understand him. If you need to be taught the material do not take this class. You have to learn on your own or you will not understand any of the material.

His English is not very clear and confused many students trough oral communication and emails alike. During review sessions, he would often become confused teaching his own material! Students would have to remind him what he said in class and remind him how to work his own problems. The workload for this class was unnecessarily heavy.

Dr. Uprety is extremely difficult to understand. He is an intellectual, however, the language barrier is challenging to overcome. Can seem demeaning at times. Ask lots of questions to clarify what's being said and take good notes in his lectures. Visit office hours if struggling. Occasionally gives extra credit.

Hard to understand at times and doesn't give good feedback. It was often unclear the types of answers he wanted to see on his assignments. He got mixed up with his own examples easily which made it hard to learn for a student who was already struggling to understand what he was teaching.

Professor Uprety is an intelligent guy its his teaching style that I dislike. He is just everywhere and the examples he uses during lecture are weird. He used meat and potatoes to compare money and quantity produced. He isn't a bad guy just not the right teacher for me to learn a subject I already have trouble understanding. Tests are difficult.

Dr. Uprety is from Nepal, so he has an accent, but his lectures are very easy to understand. He puts everything you need to know on the board before every class, and works through lectures in a very organized and easy-to-understand way. He is the opposite of the professors that just read powerpoints off of the slides. Very solid professor.

You will need to attend class if you want to make a good grade, as this class is not an easy A, you must work and earn your grade. Would take again!

Professor Dambar Uprety is a great professor. His lectures are super clear and he explains everything very well. The homework assignments are easy if you go to class, but still doable if you dont go. The textbook provides more explanation and practice, but I wouldnt say its required to pass the class. Overall, I loved the class.

Take notes or you will fail. His accent is slightly thick but if you sit up close you will do fine! Do not sit in the back and expect him to take the time to repeat himself. He does speak fast at times. He is willing to help and in emergencies will be lenient.

If you have any questions about anything, he has multiple ways you can contact him and is more than willing to help. Grading is based off of homework and a few exams. Great professor.
