The connect assignments can drive you crazy. It really did make me insane, but I learned more then enough from them that I constantly would get high 80's into 90's for exams. Besides that, a weekly assignment its really an easy class. And a very nice teacher indeed. He extends due dates constantly. good choice
The connect assignments will drive you nuts. Very long content will irritate you easily so have patience. Because in the end it did help me get 90 on exams. Very easy professor. Extends due dates as much as possible. Really good choice if you don't mind being bored. Again it is economics!
He is a good professor. You do the work you get the grade. This is a professor you can learn from. In his class there is NO FREE LUNCH. If you are a serious student and really want to learn i would suggest you take his class. Remember there are no freebees in this class. The grade you get is the grade you earned.
He is a great professor. As long as you do all your homework assignments and connects, you get the grade. This is a professor you can learn from, he makes the lectures as exciting as he can. If you are you really want to learn Economics I would suggest you take his class. He's really helpful and understandable; grade you get is the grade you earned
He's a great professor! He tries in all ways to make the class entertaining so it won't be boring, which is kinda cool. As long as you do all your home work and connect assignments, then you're good. He's very understanding, unlike other professors. He's now lecturing Eco 101 and 102 so TAKE HIS CLASS! Easy A as long as you pay attention!
He's a great Professor. He's really understanding and helpful. As long as you're doing all your home work and connect assignments, then thats a Easy A.. He's not a boring professor, so there's no need for sleeping in his class
He was overall quite hands-on, he cares about his student wants to see them succeed.
Professor Sayour is an excellent teacher. He wants students to succeed in class and in life. He knows his material. As long as you, come to class, do all the homework assignments, be there for the test reviews you will do well. This was one of my favorite classes because he is so helpful and compassionate. Definetly take him if you can!!
I like this professor. He make everything easy. Just go to the class, do all the assignments on time, prepare the test reviews, and you will get good grade. By the way, he is also helpful to help you remember and understand the concept.
Professor delivers information clearly and does not throw surprises at you.
Professor Sayour is very helpful and nice. Make sure you do all the web learning assignments and quizzes and youll get a good grade.
Great teacher coupled with a great class.
shows interest in students and is very helpful.
Great professor.
Great teacher, he is very helpful and his explanation are clear, great professor for student who does not understand a lot about economic
Professor Sayour is straight to the point and has a great sense of humor. He will tell you exactly what he needs from you in order to succeed in his class. I wish that I would have taken him for ECO 101. I would recommend you to take his class if you can.
Great teacher, for test make sure you study from the online quizzes on connect.
Great professor. I took both eco101 and eco102 with him. Very helpful for the person like me not familier with economices. Easy grader. Just finish all homework, you will get great grade.
prof soyour is very funny, really interesting class, i took him in summer 2, 2013. he is very helpful if you ask him. homework quiz, assignment, tests, final exam everything is clearly discussed in class.... be open minded then you can get an A trust me.... if you need economics go for this class
Professor Sayour is one of the best teachers I have ever had. If you want an A all you have to do is pay attention in each class, do Connect assignments. He prepares all the students for the tests, reviews are right on point. Overall, interesting class, he occasionally goes off the topic and talks about real life, just an icing on the cake.
he is the best economics professor
He is the best!!!
Great teacher, he's exiting and uses lots of real life situations in which you can quickly understand the subject. He has a good sense of humor and is very approachable. My name is jennelly and I can say I'm very happy I took his class for Eco 101 and 102
great professor, has a good sense of humor and makes the class very interesting by using real life experiences. I took both eco 101 and 102 with him and I love it!
Great teacher! He is very clear, just make sure you do the homework online, study for his test, do homework and you will get an A!
I only can highly recommend professor Sayour; because his techniques (Connect, review,homework, participation) are very help full as long you follow his introductions you will be able to get a good great, therefore I took Eco 101 & 102...thanks.!
Hi my name is Emmanuel from ECC, I had this professor twice, summer 2 and the fall. He is a excellent professor. He gives u time to complete ur assignment, very understandable. He would give jokes sometime to makes the lecture more interesting. He have a good heart n he always willing to help his students. He review the note b4 an exam, easy class
Best professor out there. He help you in what ever u need even if you are doing really bad in class he do the best for you to pass the class. If you need economics for your major take him.
I took this professor in the fall. He has quite the interest in microeconomics, but unfortunately the lectures can be dull despite his attempts and enthusiasm. The exams are easy, too easy in my opinion. If one studies the study guide, along with 30m per chapter of Connect practice online, it's an easy A
Great professor, really helpful, and entertaining. Just make sure you study the reviews and do all your homework.
HE IS A VERY EASY PROFESSOR WHAT SO THAT KEEPS YOU FOCUSED AND INTERESTED IN HIS CLASS. I BELIEVE THAT HE'S THE EASIEST ECO PROFESSOR I KNOW SO FAR.
Great professor, I recommend him to anyone
Professor Sayour is one of the most helpful professors I've had. It's an easy A class as long as you complete all assignments and attend class.
PROFESSOR SAYOUR IS THE BEST FOR ECONOMICS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL, IF YOU DO YOUR PART. HE LETS YOU KNOW WHAT'S EXPECTED, HE EVEN GAVE US REVIEW SHEETS FOR THE TEST. HE MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING BY GIVING REAL LIFE EXAMPLES BUT, HE CAN BE BORING AT TIMES TOO. TRY TO DO THE CONNECT ASSIGNMENTS. ATTENDANCE ISN'T MANDATORY.
Professor Sayour is the man! Really knows his stuff, go to class, do assignments and get an A, must do connects. The best professor ever !
Great professor. Really accommodating and entertaining. He will go out of his way to work with you to make sure you understand the material. Would definitely recommend this professor.
Great Professor, helpful and easy and he knows his stuff. Just complete connect and attend class so you won't miss important handouts. Exams are easy and connect is short but you also learn a lot in his class.
He is a really good teacher! He will do what he can in order to help you pass. You just have to be willing to work for it. Well worth it.
Great teacher! He goes over review for the test about two days before. The review is exactly what's gonna be on the test! Boring class but easy.
He is the best
Funny teacher! He tries to help his students as much as possible and that is what makes it hard to not get an A!! He is one of my favorite teachers and i def recommend him.
I have to say he was by far my favorite professor ever. I highly recommend him for any economics course. Do the connect questions and quizzes I promise you those are an easy A. you cannot go wrong. They boost up your grade so much. A very warm professor too.
He is an amazing professor he always care about the students attending his class and retaining his work... His work is clear and understanding I will rate him a 10 out of 10 and I gave a low score for the text book because he was the text book lol he didn't need to use it and the connect you gotta do it but he is a great teacher take his class!!!!
Extremely good guy, not the most exciting teacher but presents alot of information. Great grader, extends due dates , and wants the students to pass. Ultimately it is up to you, but the needed info is given
Excellent professor he will work with you to make sure you pass his test. Will definetly take 102 with him.
Great Professor works with you to make sure you understand. Will definetly take him for ECO 102.
Great professor! A very easy class , professor provides you with an A, you just have to do whatever is asked which is not much!!! Excellent professor! Straightforward and easy class.
Amazing professor. He makes sure that you understand the class. He is funny. He knows his stuff
Very nice teacher. Makes it easy as long as you do the work. Gives a review sheet before an exam which is the majority of the exam questions. Good teacher and explains well. Always willing to answer your question. Would take him again if I could.
Professor Sayour is a very nice professor. His lectures are very interesting, to the point stuff, always on time, review makes exams easy, very helpful, easy A if you do hW and quizzes on time extend time though, always motivates his students, he gives some tricks to remember stuff easily. I will take him again for ECO 102.
Nice prof, take him you would gain knowledge and have A as well.
Professor Sayour is outstanding in economics. He senses it is somewhat drawn out and that connect could be cumbersome, but he gives excellent reviews and tips on how to remember important items. Record, retain, recall it works in everything you engage in you just have to be committed and consistent and over time it will become second nature.
He truly is an awesome professor, very systematic and you after a few days you know exactly what you're doing. If given the option, i would take him again!
Pay close attention to his class. He will teach you what you have seen but not understood going on in society. Great professor to take if you want to be educated with good knowledge in economics.
Professor Sayour allows plenty of time to get work done. He is fair, understanding and knows economics. You do the work, you get the grade you deserve. That is how he rolls.
Great Proffesor. I really recommend to all student who are going to take this course to take it with him.
Excellent Professor. I really recommend to all student who are going to take this course to take it with him.
He's one of the best professor in economic have ever met. He helps student and always give them advice whenever they are falling. You can easily get A if you follow the procedure he gave you on the first day of class, do the connect and always make sure to focus on the review sheet he gave you and your A is waiting.
It is very good. I enjoyed every class.
I really recommend Professor Douglas Sayour to anyone who will like to have an easy A.
Professor Sayour's classes are very professional and clear cut. I really enjoyed the learning process with him for both 101102. Professor Sayour helps students to learn better using the techniques of record, retain, and recall. Once you commit to the process it becomes an invaluable tool in every aspect of your life. He is an outstanding professor
He's awesome.
gives you copy of answers on every exam.
He is a good Professor take him and u won't regret. .I love him
take him and improve your human capital , the review sheets are life savers and will boost your memory to a great limit. he is helpful and generous.
Professor Sayour is one of the best instructor at ECC. He is funny and makes the class interesting and engaging. expect a test at the end of three chapters. He is the best professor ever! wish I could have him teach me every subject because he teaches so easily and explains everything perfectly. Also don't play with your learn smart
it was a decent summer class..
Professor Sayour is absolutely amazing, I took his class Eco 101 course fall of 2014 and Eco 102 spring of 201, and there wasn't a thing that he didn't teach me in regards to economics. Moreover, he completely breaks down all material and his notes and powerpoints are phenomenal, you must study and take notes accordingly order to pass his class.
hes a good prof and helps students to pass
He is amazing!!!! i strongly recommend him, because he knows the material very well, also he gives real life examples which help you to have a better understanding of the topics. i did really enjoy his class DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE HIM HE IS VERY GOOD PROFESSOR.
Prof. Sayer wants everyone to do well and understand the subject. He will answer any question as we discuss issues in class. Homework is easy and the examples he uses makes learning very simple.
He's awesome
He's a great Professor.
Great Professor! Funny and interesting. A wealth of knowledge on the subject! Would def take again!
I took Eco 101-003 with this teacher and he is great. Also, very easy to get A in his class. I would recommend to take class with him.
Great professor. Concerned for students. If you go along with the class, it's an easy A! Definitely recommend him for any student.
I loved his class this past semester. If you go to class and listen, you will pass. He gives reviews for every test which is a major help. I am taking him again for ECO 102!! M Teron
Really cared about the students. Great lectures Learned a lot
I would take him again if I had more economics classes required for my major. He explains content very thoroughly, posts slides of notes in class in case you missed them, accepts late assignments, and gives extra credit. Those guy deserves 5 stars.
HANDS DOWN ABSOL AMAZING!!!!
Professor Sayour is phenomenal. I'm taking him for ECO 102 as well.
Professor Sayour is friendly and professional. If you struggle with mathematics, take his class! He focuses more on the principals of Macroeconomics than on the mathematical formulas. No surprises; everything is on the syllabus. He teaches fr the slides via McGraw Hill Connect & gives a review before each test. Read. Do the Connect. "easy A".
Excellent teacher with a great teaching style made for students to pass his class with the highest grade possible. very attentive of students needs and always aware of all students performance. best reviews before a test.
I took Professor Sayour for economic 102 Summer 1 2016, he's a great professor he lets you know what he expects in his class. He give reviews before the exam & majority of the review is on the exam. As soon as he gives you the code for connect sign in and start doing your assignments and take the quizzes. Make sure you do the EXTRA CREDIT WORK.
Awesome professor, it's clear what to be expected of you from day one. Do what your told and study and it's no reason why you shouldn't get a good grade.
Nice guy, boring teaching style. He didn't dwell on the mathematic formulas, which I liked. He always reviews before a test. If you attend class and DO THE CONNECT, passing is easy.
Professor sayour is a great teacher with lots of experience. He gives extra credit. I recommend him for anybody
best professor ever
when we are students, professor is only a supplement in our learn. I have to thankful to professor Sayour for his dedication to the class, on the other hand I have to admit that he love what he does. I advise those who want to take echo 101 in the next semester, Professor Sayour will be perfect for you.
I love his teaching style.
Pro. Sayour cares about his students and the subject of economics. He made sure students understood the subject and was a care professor. Do your online connect, homework, final paper, and study his reviews you would do great in his class.
He a very involved professor
Prof. Sayour is HANDS DOWN THE BEST instructor in the Business dept. Very smart, understanding & has a wicked sense of humor. Gives actual reviews for EVERY test & opportunities for extra credit. Teaches beyond the scope of the class & shares real life examples. Very transparent wit grading so do the Connect & LS. If u get less than a B, ur a dummy
Pretty good teacher. He was a little boring at times but he did a good job of teaching the required.
A good guy overall! He reviews before every exam and uses real life examples to make the material easier to comprehend.
An exceptional professor who takes his time to make sure his students understand macroeconomics. He will teach you "brain hacks" to remember for tests which actually work and its a real God send especially in something complex as macroeconomics. Also he has a knack for acting (he actually does some on the side) and making us laugh.
Excellent professor. Knows his stuff. Stay awake, do extra credit work and you'll be fine.
one of the best professors ive had. very clear with explaining material. very patient with students and understanding. funny personality. very nice guy. loved his class. took microeconomics and if you do all of your work and especially the online assignements then you will have no problems on the exams. great guy.
I have taken Economics more than once and He made it easy to understand the material. So, I decided to take Macro and micro with him at the same time. Earned an A in both! Very good Professor.
This teacher is the best teacher ever, if you fail you wanted to fail. He's helpful, halarious, and cares for you success.
An excellent professor who takes his time to make sure all students in the class understand macroeconomics. His method of teaching economics with examples help remember quickly. Always encourage and help students to achieve success.
i like this professor he is the best professor in economic in Essex his
Down to earth, an amazing person with an intelligent mind. Looks at things from a world perspective.
Professor Sayour is a really great professor. He uses a method of teaching that helps students remember the important things. Show up to class, participate, do the connect, and keep up with the lessons. He also takes his time to give solid feedback. Taking Macroeconomics with him in summer 2 was worth it.
Hes amazing
I had both ECO 1 and 2, I thank him for taking the, energy, and effort to ensure his students understand the material. He made the world of GDP, Per Ca-pita, Gov. Purchases, and crazy grafts understandable by connecting the dots. If you come to class do your work review for tests an A is possible. He has an easy disposition likes to joke EF
Pretty straight up class. Attend, participate, review and study; should be set.
Professor Douglas Sayour is great. His personality and teaching skills are really amazing. i never had that kind of professor before. I don't have any words for describes his quality. He is the only one i ever have. i will take him again for next semester. i Recommend you have to take him too.
He is Amazing
Professor Douglas Sayour is such an amazing professor. He cares so much about his student. he constanly remind you about the assignment. Also if you pass deadline he still let you do it and give you credit. His test come exactly from the review. if you study the review you will ace the exam.
Best professor take him
Good professor
Great professor... Makes learning the topic fun
Take notes. Be present during the review day.
Easy class; attend class, pay attention and do homework and you'll be fine. Three quizzes throughout the class, review sheet is given before and he goes over anything you don't understand in good details. He is very caring and wants to see his students pass/ be successful. Highly recommend!!! amazing teacher!!
Prof. D Sayour's class is one of those classes you won't want to miss, very interesting and he is so clear in his explanation. Always has acronyms that helps in remembering concepts of economics. In every class one has to study to know the course but he doesn't make it any more difficult. His reviews are very helpful. He is a great awesome prof.
Professor Sayour is a lovely professor who cares the most about his students and their goods. I really like his style of teaching . It becomes easy to remember some difficult economics terms. He is unique and funny .
Prof. Douglas Sayour is an outstanding economic prof , he does not only make sure that you understand the materials but he also taught us how to easily remember the materials or anything that you might learn in other classes due to the "Three step Learning Process" , something between many things that I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
I love the way he teaches his lectures, very detailed oriented and gives you an clear understanding of the material he is teaching. He is so smart & knowledgeable. I def learned so much in his class and am grateful that I had him. He also goes out his way to teach you the 3 step learning process to retain information. I am going to miss his class!
prof. sayour is an excellent professor. take him and you will not regret.
Professor Douglas IS VERY Good Professor. He is very helpful. You don't have good grade in exam he gave you Extra credit work. and Lectures is amazing. He have very good knowledge about Eco. Take his class.
Very confusing
The lectures were confusing and sometimes couldn't understand what he was saying. There was tons of reading+questions for homework. I hated that lots of time i'd do homework that was due soon and to later find out it would be extended. Stayed up late for nothing. So dont worry to much of due dates cause they'll be extended. I would not take again.
Professor Sayour is great at teaching his students. If you feel like he is teaching too fast for you, you can ask him a question about what you have missed and he will explain it clearly. He also gives extensions for assignments, just make sure you do your exams on time. He is very patient with his students. Definitely would take his class again.
Professor Douglas was extremely helpful during lectures and always made sure to set aside time to answer any questions. He constantly pushed us to reach our potential in class and try to make accommodations depending on our needs. I would definitely recommend taking this course!
