You gotta understand everything to do well in this class. Just listen, don't bother writing a ton of notes with him, and it's fine. It's interesting course matter if you listen and apply it. Despite what a lot of people and myself thought at first, he does care about the class.

He is good.. I like him ^_^

Final exam is hard. Teaching is okay.

Great teacher and his exams are very fair. They test you on what you ought to know, hence you get the mark you deserve. He is also helpful when you go to his office and does genuinely seem to care about the class. Moreover he makes the subject as interesting as he can by adding real world facts.

Superb prof! Very funny and helpfull. Knows the subject really well. Always gives great notes and explains things very clearly. Gives enough examples and practice questions. Undoubtly, one of the best on the facutly. Explained very well why not to rob a bank but go for casino.

Exams are fair and not too difficult. Go to class, know the problems he does in class, and study the text examples. Understand the concepts and you will do fine!

great prof!fair exam, very clear in class. if u go to class everyday, you will get an A without putting much effort. He only tests you what he has taught in class. one of the best econ prof in western.

A cool guy! He love rock and roll!

best econ prof I have ever had. Fair exam,well prepared lectures,very helpful in office hours.He is just great.

Very passionate guy. I always smile when I see him in that waaaaay too big tweed jacket. Easily one of the most personable econ profs at western.

Where do you start with Desi? As a lecturer he was an interesting, thought provoking instructor. However, his exams are not true tests of the class materials. The exams tend to be abstract and it is difficult to know where you stand until you receive the mark. He has a great presonality though and that makes up for his testing and marking flaws

He's probably one of the best economics profs you can take for this class. He is good at explaining things and gives very helpful notes to study for his exams. His exams are pretty fair if you've gone to class ... TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM IF YOU CAN...

He was really good for my courses. Very helpful and the tests are really easy if you do the assignments. Very approachable and willing to help. He has a uniqute fashion sense and is VERY attractive.

Dezzie is the best prof ever! He's so nice and is really helpful!

Best Econ prof. If you go to class you will really understand the topic. Very patient when explaining. Make sure you understand the problems he does in class and most likely you will do in his relatively easy exams. Final exam is kinda hard.

Nice guy. Gets flustered when he makes mistakes and/or people talk during his lectures. Interested in the topic/more than willing to help for the most part. Final exam was based entirely on application, which is good if you're reasonably competent in the subject, attend his lectures, and read the textbook a bit.

McKeon had notes online that were SO helpful. He made some funny jokes in class but gets very offended if you leave class early. Only complaint is that the final exam was super hard. Economics is in his blood!

A really competent prof, knows his stuff. If you're not dumb and work reasonably hard you will be fine. Obviously if u dont like econ u wont enjoy the lectures. Will increase your interest in econ, has a lot to offer make the most of it. I dont recommend buying the book. His mid terms are quite easy, cant say the same for the final.

Great prof, really knows his stuff. Talks non stop in class and many students might find that a bit boring, but everything he talks about is very relevant and even applicable. One of the best, if not the best econ prof I have ever had at western.

A little disorganized seeming, but he knows his stuff and if you pay attention you'll be fine

Examples are pretty much the same as the exam maybe a few different numbers changed here and there. Uses his own notes for the majority of the class (didn't purchase textbook). M/C are somewhat tricky but doable.

Had him for Economics 2152 and was not impressed, didn't seem to care. But then I took Economics 2154 (Money) with him the following year, and for some reason he was infinitely better, way more passionate, personable and approachable. Lesson of the day: He's a good prof for anything but Intermediate Macro!

I have taken two classes with Des. He is slightly disorganized, but a very competent instructor. Few people attend class consistently, but doing so will increase your chances of acing exams. He tests almost completely from his own slides, provided online. The text is not necessary but the study guide is very useful, with many problems on tests.

I had him for both 2152 and 2153, I did pretty well on both, my 2152 class ended up with 84, and 2153 ended up with 96 he made me love econ, because of that I gave up Ivey and I'm working on my way to be a phd in economics now.

Mckeon is honestly the nicest, fairest professor I have ever had. He uses his in class examples on his exams, either same numbers or slightly different. There are no tricks on his exams. If you go to class (You dont even need the textbook), and pay attention you are guaranteed a good mark. MUCH better than any of the other economics professors.

No tricks here - go to class, study lecture slides, review w textbook and notes and you should get an 80+

Pretty decent prof overall. He is open to help you out during office hours or even outside office hours but sometimes has a really terrible attitude and can be a buzzkill. I would definitely recommend attending most lectures and making sure you know the slides inside out. If you like his material and study well, 85 is easy.

Excellent. Always talks about real world situations. Makes economics interesting.

If you are serious about economics this is the prof you want. One of the best at Western for economics. Good guy to talk to aswell he helped getting me in to a master's.

Prof Mckeon is one of the best for understanding real world finance. Good teacher a used a lot of examples from the news. Great if you are considering a finance career.

This course in risk management is a little harder than most of Prof Mckeon courses but it is worth it! There is a real job orientated aspect to this course. He is a great lecturer and the key is to attend class. Tests are very much based on class material.

i am at Ivey now and I am SO GLAD I had Prof. McKeon for macro . Everything we do here is based on the real world and all the stuff Mckeon used to talk about is for real! I understand what I am doing much better that some of my friends. I didn't like econ when I took it at at Huron but thank goodness for Prof Mckeon because his courses sure help

great/funny professor, can get 90+ if you study

Make sure you use his class notes and the practice problems to get a A+.

The best Econ prof you can get. I took four courses from him over my last two years. Learned more in his courses than any other. Secret to doing well is always go to class. Tests are based on class. Extremely smart guy.

I am graduating this year. The courses I took fro Prof Mckeon have helped a lot in figuring out where I want to go to grad school. He really helped me with my choice. This s great prof. But dont expect to just read the book. He teaches a lot of stuff in class about applications and real world Econ. I got 82 and it was because of attendance.

Best Econ prof. He really knows economics and has a very good way of teaching. Really liked all the class exercises for exams. If you need to take Econ try to get Mckeon.

He teaches a complicated concept but it helps to imagine a big picture of Macro. I am very satisfied with his teaching style. He does not care about the grade.

He is definitely my fav Econ prof! He is so amazing! He is wonderfully good at teaching and he is extremely knowledgeable. He is fun and really cares about his students. I learned a lot from his lectures and felt honored to be his student. I highly recommend him! He is the best!

This is a prof I have had before and I hoping to get into one of his classes again this year. His courses fill up quickly but if you can get in take any course he teaches. He is incredible and his exams are very fair.

He is a really nice prof, I took four courses with him. He knows a lot of things about Econ, and give really fair marks. If you go to his every class and take good notes you can get a really high grade on the course.

amazing prof!

One of the best profs I have ever had. Try to take his courses if you can. Easy to get a good grade if you go to class and do all the exercises. I am doing my CFA because of prof Mckeon. A fantastic prof.

Prof. Mckeon is the best prof for Economics. His courses are hard but relevant. I wrote CFA one and the topics Mckeon covered made the CFA a lot easier to study for. Even the online course I took was great because he actually taught it using recorded lectures. Great prof take his courses if you can

Great prof, he's very clear with his exams and explains concepts very clearly so we know what to expect, overall would recommend for future students!

moderate.

Prof Mckeon is definitely knowledgeable about finance. You will learn a lot from his course BUT do not expect to just read a text and study guide. He relies a lot on real world examples and talks a lot about things not in the test. If you go to class this course is interesting and not too hard. I got an 80 without too much work .

Professor McKeon is very knowledgeable. Makes concepts as clear as possible and his interest in econ is apparent in his lectures. His exams are fair from what is taught in class and he does a good breakdown before an exam. Overall a good prof whose lectures were pretty interesting, actually felt like I was learning real-world stuff.

fun guy, tried to make 8:30s as interesting as he could. somewhat unconventional with mc for his exams but i'm not gonna complain. read his slides and do the practice problems, its basically enough to do well.

Great Prof. I took three courses with him and 2181 Financial economics was the best. Really learnt something which is not usual in economics courses. I am doing my CFA because of Mckeon. Take his.course if you can.

Great prof. If you are going to Ivey this is the prof you want for econ. He teaches a lot of the kind of thing that helps in Ivey finance courses.

Really great guy. Can help a lot with career selection. I learned a lot in his financial economics course. You have to class, but if you do it is easy to do well.

If you take his money course, do the test banks and you will get at least 80.

This prof is possibly the best econ prof I have had at Western.He actually teaches stuff that is relevant and you learn things in his course. His style is Different. You need to go class ,but if you do his exercises plus rember the points he emphasis in class you will do well. Very interesting stuff , even if he can grumpy at times.

Great professor. Truly passionate about his area of expertise and it clearly shows. More than happy to go the extra mile and help students with difficult concepts. Happy retirement Professor McKeon!

Great Prof. Had him for three courses. Material is slightly advanced compared to BMOS courses but super interesting. If you go to class and do the posted exercises exams are easy . I did an 80 . Studying for CFA now and found his courses very useful.

he's the goat, such a beauty, certified VET
