The things the others said are wrong. Explains things about as simple as econ gets. His 201 tests were kind of tough, but the ones in labor market policies aren't bad if you have a brain. Hes funny as can be, and is a good lecturer.

if you want a professor that is fun and easy going BAshaw is the way to go.yeah, the class is challenging but he just wants you to be able to apply what you learn..not just memorize it and then forget it.Best professor thus far

Prof. Bashaw is by far the best professor I've had up to this point, and I'm a junior. He applies what you learn to everyday life and keeps the lecturing intersting. He's also funny and provides a comfortable atmosphere.

best econ teacher ever, grading is weird, i got 2 C's on the first 2 tests, i went in and talked to him, he told me to do the extra credit and do well on the final, and i did the work, and somehow got an A in his class. I love that guy!

3 exams make up nearly the whole grade.

One of the best professors I've had, Yeah three exams cover up the whole grade, but he gives you tons of extra credit, easy homework, easy tests if you listen in class, comfortable atmosphere in his class.

very good sense of humor and a regular guy which makes it esay to learn in his class

tests are pretty hard, a class average of under 75% after the curve. he is a nice guy, but a bit too sarcastic at times. avoid him if you aren't a good test taker.

Great Prof. Good sense of humor keeps class interesting. Does a good job of explaining concepts so all can understand. Exams aren't bad if you go to class and spend a little time preparing. Homework assigned almost every class, but its easy and doesn't take long, but is worth a decent bit of grade.

If you do the homework and go to class you should get a B

Very hard test. Good teaching style. Learned alot and even enjoyed microecon. Heck of a nice guy, very personable.

Good teacher, explains things really well. He's helpful if you don't understand a concept. Tests are hard and that's basically the only grade, but he does offer extra credit.

Class attendance is not manditory but he is known for giving "quizes" on fridays consisting of questions like "what is your name". He is a cool teacher, only 3 exams he grades on however, plus the in class "quizes". Gives extra credit for about 2-4 points. Exams are tricky, but as long as you did homework, you are fine for exams.

I highly reccommend him. Grade was based on homework/quizzes (10%), two exams (25% each), and the final (40%). Gave what would be on the exams, but left out a lot of the final. Don't text if you're in the front row. If you go to class and take notes, you should be fine.

Good teaching style. He was straight forward with the material and told you what was going to be on exams. He allowed you to use your book on exams, however the exams are timed so you still had to know that material, or you would't finish the exam. Overall, not a bad professor.

The class was straight forward. He expected you to do homework each night, even though it wasn't collected or graded, then he'd work through the problems with you and go over powerpoints. Not very interesting but if you had questions he'd be sure to make sure you understood before you left the room.

Good teacher, gives lots of homework but goes over it and doesn't collect it. Tests are almost the whole grade but if you go to class and take notes you'd be fine.

He breaks down every section very nicely and assigns homework for every chapter. He does not collect it, but does go over it the next class. He will make sure you understand the material before you leave class. Texts are most of your grade, but if you do the work assigned they are easy. Great professor, I would recommend taking him.

I really enjoyed Dr. Bashaw as my professor. He made class interesting, and made the class laugh quite frequently. Tests can be difficult, but if you study they aren't terrible. Homework isn't graded, but greatly helps when test day comes. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bashaw as a professor.

He is good teacher. makes class interesting. Your grade is 90% of your tests (40% 0f the final, and 25% 2 regular tests). The grading is a huge downfall for him. Could have been a great class.

My favorite professor by far. Class is very straight forward. He doesn't waste time, class is almost always let out after 50 minutes. Tests are easy if you study and do homework, but impossible if you don't. I would recommend him to anyone.

He's very straightforward with material. Class usually gets out early. He seems intimidating, but one-on-one, he's very nice and helpful. Homework isn't collected, but do it because exams are very difficult if you aren't prepared.

He will not waste your time, but he will not put up with any bull. Class usually gets out really early (like 30 mins. early) Stats is not an easy class, but Bashaw is the best person who can be teaching this class. DO THE NON-MANDATORY HOMEWORK.

Class is very straightforward almost always gets let out early. just homework and exams. doesn't collect daily bookwork but will assign a worksheet occasionally for credit. doesn't take attendance.

He is a nice man, but get ready to work. He loves to grade based on showing your work, so do it. He allows a note card for the exams but you can only have equations on it. Do the homework for every class. It really helps. And if enough people DON'T do the homework he will start giving out quizzes.

Bashaw knew what he was talking about and was very helpful during office hours. You can use a notecard on the first exam and your book on the second exam so they aren't too tough. He also offers a lot of extra credit.

The material was never very interesting, but that wasn't his fault. He did a good job of keeping the class laughing which made the class more bearable. He almost always let us out of class early once all the material was covered.

He's a not bullcrap kinda guy. exams take up 80% total of your grade and the other is homework. Class usually gets let out early. Going to class is essential to getting a good grade. Tests are very hard.

Let's you use the book on the test, but you still need to know what is going on. Only 2 tests plus final and a few small homework assignments.

Online class - you have to read the chapter, and pay attention to detail such as names, etc. as they can show up on quizzes. Two chances for each quiz. Online discussion was 10% of grade. Decently challenging course, but I found it interesting. Be sure to adhere to directions for papers and you'll do well.

Bashaw is a straight to the point kind of guy, and will not waste your time. He will only help people who help themselves, and can be especially hard on people who choose to skip class. Class is usually less than a full hour. Tests were straightforward, and you get to use the book.

You have to pay attention in class and ask questions. He isn't afraid to go over things you didn't understand the first time. He likes to make jokes and have during class but he also gets the material by. We rarely stayed the whole class period either.

Good professor and is good at explaining. Good guidelines as to what is needed and what will be on the exams. Lots of ungraded homework There are only three exams and nothing else really for grade. The first 2 exams are 20 questions so it is hard to get an A. Very hard grader. I did above average on everything and still got a B. Not the easiest

ECON 201 is a tough class and most of my learning came from reading the textbook since the summer course is an accelerated online version of the class. However, Bashaw is a great professor and does his best to make sure the material is easy to understand. He gives good feedback on papers and is happy to answer any questions.

i really like bashaw's personality, he's a great guy. i don't like the fact that all we do in class is go through the slides, basically like a vocab and concept based class. since stats is in fact a math class, i think that it'd be more beneficial if we did more practice problems in class.

Show up to class, do the homework, and participate. It is a statistics class so you are going to have to put in some work. Gives you note card for Exam 1 and the textbook for Exam 2.

Professor Bashaw is a very straight forward Professor. He accepted me into his online class after it had already reached capacity. You get a quiz on a chapter a week, 2 written assign. spaced about a month and a half apart and participation with other students on each weeks material. Quick to respond and offers extra credit at the end of term.

Mr. Bashaw has been my favorite professor at whitewater. Econ is a tough subject to master but he does a great job of laying out what you need to know in each chapter and preparing you for what will be on the exams He is very funny and makes his lectures as interesting as you can make Econ. He also offers extra credit to help test grades.

Professor Bashaw was a pretty straight forward teacher. Read the book, show up to class and pay attention. He doesn't appreciate people not participating because what he lectures about, WILL be on the test. He notices if you're trying and will work with you to gain understanding. There are very little points in the class, so no room for error

Microeconomics is not an easy class by any means, but he does all that he can to help you to understand it. He gives very interesting lectures and is one of the most genuinely nice and down to earth guys I have ever met. I would for sure recommend taking his class if you're worried about the difficulty of the class.

Dave doesn't put anything online, so you'll do best if you go to class. The tests are short and to the point and gives E.C for each of them. He tells you everything you need to know in the lectures and writes it all on the board. He understands we are very busy and goes light on homework and material at times. He wants his students to succeed.

I was dreading taking a statistics class, but Dr Bashaw made it simple and easy to learn. The material is tough, but he was very to the point and clear. It is best to print out the powerpoint slides to write additional notes, he will sometimes go fast but always willing to go over something again. Highly recommend, he made stats so much easier.

Great teacher for a dry subject, he understands that no one will enjoy this class. Show up, do the work, he gives you everything you need to pass, but he's not going to hold your hand through this. Totally approachable if you have questions, he really tries to help you understand. A lot of ungraded homework, but it FULLY prepares you for exams.

Dave is a good guy, but his class can be kinda tough. Nothing is online and he has no powerpoints, all notes are written on the board. Homework is optional but if you want to pass you should do it! Grade is based only on a few things: 3 tests, 2 papers, and 1 lesson plan, so don't screw up or it will effect your grade. Go to class & you'll be fine!

Doesn't go into extensive detail during the lectures. Lectures aren't required but are if you want to pass, attend the lectures. Not many assignments or exams so they're all weighted pretty heavily. He's a nice guy and I feel like he doesn't want to waste his students time. He often cut class short and removed certain material from the exams.

Nice guy, hard class.

Good class to take over the summer if you are a business major and need to get the lower division business courses out of the way. He is very available over email

Nice professor, very hard class if you don't understand the work. Total of 6 assignments the whole semester, 3 of which are exams, no curves or extra credit. This means if you don't do well on the exams it will be difficult to pass. Rarely holds class for longer than an hour which is nice, and id recommend showing up if you want to do well.

Only has a few exams and then just homework is graded. Has opportunities for extra credit. He is a cool guy and very flexible. Easy A.

Great instructor, goes a little fast but I personally liked that. There are only 6 graded items in this class so you have to take very good notes, do the homework, and STUDY for the exams because if you bomb one you're fcked. Ask questions and be sure to know your stuff before taking an exam and you will be fine. Once again, DO THE HOMEWORK!

Best professor for 245

This class was relatively easy for me but it is only graded on 3 exams and 3 other assignments. I didn't show enough work on the first test and bombed it which made it so I couldn't get an A. Otherwise, his lectures were quick and he always finished before class was supposed to end and the content was easy to understand. Great Professor!

If you do not go to class, you will not pass. He does not post anything on Canvas and will only explain assignments once in class for those who are there. I never missed class and that is how I got an A. He is a really nice guy and wants you to succeed, you just need to go to class lol.

Professor Bashaw is awesome and has great lectures. The class is only graded on 6 things however so you must do well on the tests and prepare diligently. Make sure to show work on the exams but otherwise the class wasn't all that difficult because of the high quality lectures.
