Don Booth was an awesome professor. He has difficult exams at time, but he prepares you enough and challenges you to actaully learn instead of just coasting through his class. Extremely intelligent individual.

Tough if you fall behind. Will help you a lot if you go to his office hours before and after classes. Do the ex. credit papers he offers you, trust me they will help out in the end!

Good teacher, will learn alot. If you don't like econ, might not like class. Geography test are annoying. to do well: really read his hand they are gold and go to his office hours almost everyday or until you understand it he will help until youget it

Booth is trying to teach not only his subject matter but he tries to teach worldly and social issues which I loved.... he does get into Geography, but he is right in saying that people should know where places in the world are!!

Very good professor. Makes sure you know how to apply, not just memorize. Map tests were fair. Tested not just on location, but on relevant leaders of countries, languages spoken. Intelligent and one of, if not the best in ASBE!

A VERY hard professor who leads a class that is very confusing.. He is willing to help, but show up to class everyday for if you fall behind...its bad... Not the easiest prof, but a very intellgent prof

Dr. Booth is NOT stubborn and close-minded, IT IS YOU WHO'RE TOO SHALLOW AND SLOW TO DIGEST HIS BRILLIANT LECTURES!!! Dr. Booth is THE BEST PROF. at CHAPMAN, he combines texbook knowledge with real world experience!

Dr. Booth has some of the best lectures I've ever heard, but he's no pushover when it comes to exams. Study his notes, but be careful, since there is more to his exams than what he gives you.

Great teacher if you want to learn, you have to work at it, but the teacher is great. You will know economics when you are done. He knows economics, and has the ability to teach it to you.

At first I hated it, but then I realized how fun microeconomics can be. I got a C in the class. His teaching is hard, but you walk away knowing so much about life and yourself. Price/Demand - 5 years later - I still remember it all :) Jennifer Landon '99

You need to pay attention in class.

Dr. Booth is great, interesting, but challenging. He presents the material in different way, that is more conducive to quick learners. It has totally prepared me for the rest of econ though.

Very difficult class to get an "A" in, but you will learn an incredible amount of information. Booth strives to get you to apply economic concepts to everyday life. Very interesting class but be sure to do the reading and pay attention or you'll

i actually enjoyed dr. booth's class, although i have to admit you have to be in for a challenge. don't expect to breeze through this class. but if you want to seriously learn, despite the grades, you will.

Dr. Booth is quite funny and brings up points you would never think about.

Wow, this class is rediculous! I've studied relentless hours, outlined chapters and taken extensive notes in class and yet i still can't seem to pass a homework or quiz. STAY AWAY! ..you will not do well, even if you try. if you like graphs, he's your man,he's teaching Booth Economics, not Microecon

Crazy class... but you learn so much. It made me change my major to Economics and make Dr. Booth my advisor!! Its hard! Don't think you can come to a test without studying your ass off. In the end what you take away from the class is all worth it.

Dr. Booth is extremely knowledgeable, so know what you're saying on tests. Attend any events he'll give extra credit for, because you'll need it. I thought he was a good prof with an interesting sense of humor. Don't bother reading the book, instead write down every note/graph he puts on the board.

Read what others have said. Don't bother with the book, copy the notes, do the extra credit, study the geography, go in for help during office hours, and you're good.

Such a hard class. Good teacher but tests/hw/quiz depends solely on his lecture. Advice: go to his office hours one hour before a homework or class starts, he'll give you wonderful hints and answer.

You've just got to love Booth... Great teacher, pay attention and you'll see why. Study, and when something's unclear ask for help. Don't just walk in his office saying "I don't understand" Geography tests help you're grade, do all extra credit available.

You wont find another prof like Booth at Chapman.

Nice guy. If you like essay tests and want to learn a lot take him. He is definately not easy.

Yes, this was one of my hardest classes ever. It also was one of the most enjoyable. Get to know Dr. Booth - his insights and connections are invaluable. Definately a long but great experience.

Great teacher, learn from the master.

Best class you will ever take at Chapman University. You listen to his lectures and you will learn a whole lot! :-)

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR! Yes, he is a hard teacher, but he's the BEST teacher! He is so wise and the most helpful! Offers tons of extra credit and is always available to help you with ANYTHING! Take ANY classes from him that you can, you'll learn invaluable things from him!

BEST PROFESSOR AT CHAPMAN! He's awesome, I took him for like 7 semesters (if that's even possible) and he really made me Chapman experience worth all I paid for it. Take him!!! And use his office hours, get to know him, he has so much knowledge to share!

Booth is so funny and down to earth! You got to love him. He knows so much about the way the world works. The distinguishing feauture about Booth is that he doesn't just teach ECON, he teaches common knowledge that helpd so much in real like situations. He does go off on tangents some times, but you learn so much every time! He accomodates too

Dr. Booth is THE BEST TEACHER AT CHAPMAN. He teaches common sense, street smarts, and sophisticated economics. It seems that students want a lazy A and that is def. NOT happening in his classes. Attendance is tied to your success. Go into office hours for extra help. GO TO CLASS THE WEEK BEFORE AN EXAM. He explains EVERYTHING covered on it!!!!!!!

Truly the best teacher. Although the class is basically a lecture, he keeps us all on our toes and totally into the lesson--what's best is that he relates what we learn to the REAL WORLD. He is the typical old man professor, and will tell it like it is. BUT BE PREPARED TO WORK HARD, it is no slacker class. Also, you might need a tough skin if you can't handle him prodding you in front of the whole class...

He is the hardest professor I had at chapman. And the geography tests are extremely hard. But, at the end of the semester you become so relieved that it is over, and you actually know you learned a lot. And if you study A LOT, it is possible to get an A. But if you do all the work, it is hard to be below a B. Oh, and go to his office hours!!!

I learned more from this professor than any other on how to look at situations in the world.

His classes are interesting and his humor is crude -which I liked. If you pay attention to what he says and show that you understand his point of view, you will have no problems passing his written exams. He will help you out in his office as well. He focuses on concepts rather than random facts.

No Geo tests for 355 or 460! Class was awesome. He does not make you memorize a bunch of things that you will forget. He focuses on concepts. Tests are really tough. You have to invest a good amount of time in his office asking about test questions in order to ace his essay questions. I walked away from this class very satisfied.

sooo hard but soo good. he has been my fav teacher by far but he demands a lot from you. i learned so much from him. he completly d slapped prof doti in terms of being a good teacher. its a shame i didnt know about him earlier

Really hard professor to be honest, but you'll learn a lot. He gives some pretty hard geography tests, but if you study and pay attention to what he says they're manageable. Always give reasons with your answers, I lost points all semester for not being clear enough with my graphs. He's really knowledgeable though, so you'll definitely learn a lot.

I actually took him for both Econ 200 and 355. I extremely enjoyed his classes and would take him again. He is sweet, caring and will teach you a lot! However, you MUST pay attention to his lectures. Remember charts and graphs and study your geography!

He is very knowledgeable but you really have to pay attention. You really learn a lot, but he is hard. People who don't like him are people who do not put the time in. He is always willingly to help students outside of class. You REALLY need to put in the time for this class, but if you do you get A LOT out of it!

Booth is really a good professor. It is hard, you will have geography test. He is very knowledgeable and care his student.

Pay attention and GO TO OFFICE HOURS. This professor is very very smart and is good to have on your side, so actually try. Material is hard if you don't care about subject.

I thought he was a bad teacher. Some of his HW is based off concepts he's yet to go over and his tests require students to use application of concepts he 'generalized' in class. Also, in his lectures he tries to relate the material to personal anecdotes/stories but the connection comes out incredibly hazy. Even if you study a lot, you may not pass.

Dr. Booth makes you achieve to your level. To pass you have to think, he challenges you to be your best. You will be better for having him as a professor

If you listen to the lectures he will prepare you. But not an easy class by any means

Dr. Booth is a great professor and is very talented in economics and is well known in the professional economic world. There's no homework. You take 3 field trips throughout the semester and you have to write a 2-3 paper on them. You have 2 essay midterms and one essay final. Highly recommend it if you're a Econ major.
