Funny teacher. Explains and lectures well. Hard tests. Easy going. Not strict on attendence.
test r hard, class looks easy base on the lecture, need better review sheets, but very instresting though,
made a C. I'm a smart student. People don't come to class unless it's test day. They end up with better grades. 2 test and a final. Blow one test you will end up with a C. Need more grades. His review sheets are awful more than half of the things on the sheet wasn't on the test.
Good teacher. Explains things very well. Funny and laid back.
He is a great teacher! I started like the Economy. You have to work to get things done, but he helps a lot. The class in interesting, and he is fun. Sometimes strict, but still he is a good teacher. About review sheets, it is not quiet true, they are helpful, you just have to study.
Very good professor. He attempts to be as unbiased as possible, which is difficult given the material. If you only study the handouts you will not make an A. If you do some of the reading and follow along in class you can very well make an A. He worked in the oil industry and is not a career professor, so he gives real world examples.
Excellent teachear I took him in second start, the material was interesting, read the book and you will be fine.
In 2 years of HCC this was the best professor I have ever had! His lectures were entertaining and he his tests were fairly easy. Plus the review sheets pretty much give away the whole test anyway!
I just took his class and it was the most interesting class I have ever had before. He is an excellent instructor who is willing to help you. I like his class so much that I will go back and take another class with him. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get a good knowledge in economics.
Great teacher. Very interesting class. Take him and you won't regret.
Mr. Mineman was a very helpful teacher. He takes a personal interest in his students. He is pationate about what he is teaching and it is contagious. He made the skills in the book clear with his lectures. He also applied the information to real life situations and made lasting examples that helped us remember the new concepts. Thanks Mr. Mineman!!
Teacher Mineman explains very good and clear! I don't even have the book and got an A and I am an international student. you just need to attend his class and take notes of everything he says is important. He is really funny teacher, however sometimes he tell really long stories about himself or something else. I really recomend this dude!
I really liked this class, I took it because I needed to take one business class but now I am thinking to change my major. Professor Ed was amazing he really explained very clear the concepts, He is also very funny. I truly recommend this professor
Great teacher, keeps everything interesting. I started voice recorded him cause it made things a lot easier. If you listen, and take notes youll do fine. But he uses the textbook a lot.
Just took him this Fall 2010. Fairly speaking, he wasn't hard at all, you just need to do what you are required too, and the requirements aren't impossible to be done. He explains things until the whole class understand. If you don't wanna spend money on text book, use one at the westloop library. Great class, Great professor.
Ed Mineman is a great Instructor. He knows what he is teaching and very fair. He has enough experience in the oil and gas field and knows a lot about economy and how it works. Keeps the class interesting with a lot of funny jokes and makes the economics interesting. Loved his class very much. Tests are fairly easy. Take him if you wanna learn ECON!
Took his class during the mini session. Very Easy. He is very nice, funny, and great at teaching economics. There is a textbook for this class but did not purchase it and was still able to pass the class with just the notes I had. His lectures are very informative and clear. Highly recommend and would take another class from this professor. A++++
great professor i've ever met!
This professor was AMAZING!!!! He is extremely funny and is great at teaching. He explains everything properly and clearly. He is also very helpful. I recommend this teacher to EVERYONE!! Got an A in the class...whoever takes him will not regret it!!! He gives study guides and his quizzes are fairly simple. Trust me, you will not regret him!!!
he is a really good teacher. i have a 9am morning class with him during the mini term and i just feel like having a 9am party with him everyday! just pay attention and study his notes+review then u should be fine.
Professor Ed is a great one. He is funny, keeps students interested in his lectures, explains clearly the concepts and charts and gives real world examples. I strongly recommend him because he is probably the best Econ professor at HCC. Trust me!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!!VERY INTERESTING CLASS!!!Took him in mini session,will take 2302 with him again!!!The Best!!!
This is long overdue. I took Macro with Prof Mineman during the winter mini-session. Hands down, it was the absolute best course I have ever taken. The professor is passionate about the subject which shows in his excellent teaching. Ed made the material interesting and relevant. I was actually motivated to learn more about the topics. A+ for Prof M
He is really good at explain, and funny.
great teacher. the best a hcc. once u take this teacher u will be ready to take any economics course. he explains very well just study the review and exactly what he says and u will do great. thanks mr.mineman
took him summer he is a great teacher...just need to review your notes and ask questions if you dont get the info. he answers questions before the tests helps you pass his class if you care about your grade...he knows what he is talking... recommend people to take him
He is a great teacher. Before I took his class i didn't know much about economics but after taking the class I learned a lot and the class isn't hard either. He explains your questions clearly until you understand and the things he talks about in class are exactly what's on the test. He is straight forward on his tests, and they aren't tricky. Take
Greatttttt Teacher!
Great Teacher! The test reviews are very helpful for all exams. By far the best economics teacher. Take him if you want to understand and pass ECON with a good grade!
Awesome teacher, I knew nothing about economics but now I do. He really helps you understand and encourages you to ask questions. Tests are multiple choice and straight from the review and his notes. Didn't really use the book much his notes tell you everything you need to know. I would highly recommend him for econ. :)!
Great Professor, extremely clear. His rating says it all. Just a tip skip the book, and listen attentively to all he says. Keep writing down notes even if some of it might not pertain to the matter directly at hand. stick to the reveiw sheet, but don't memorize know the concepts(that's one step further).
he made the class as easy as he could and was really really funny
Great teacher, very straightforward and he keeps you interested in what he is talking about in class so the material is very easy to understand when you do your homework. The tests are not hard but you still need to study (like in any other class).
2 Test (20% each), final comprehensive(40%), 3 quiz(10%), attendance/class part.(10%). make sure u take good notes because whatever he says will be in the test. Test are mutiple choice and about 2-4 bonus questions. gives review sheet before test but again its important to take good note. its really easy in his class to take notes!
Words are not enough to describe Mr.Mineman. He is an excellent professor who knows how to trnasfer his knowledge to students. I love every moment in his class. Thank you so very much, Mr. Mineman!
great teacher--he is able to teach this difficult subject--I appreciate his anecdotes on his foreign travels and working in the business community
Awesome teacher very helpful answers questions does reviews before class very helpful would take him again for econ 2302
Best teacher ever!!!!
HE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER, HE MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING AND AT THE SAME TIME HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND HARD INFO. TAKE HIM, BUT IF YOU TAKE GOOD NOTES AND LISTEN WELL, YOU SHOULD NOT NEED THE BOOK, MOST OF THE STUFF YOU CAN FIND ONLINE. HE IS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER!
HCCS should feel blessed to have this professor. You will learn economics from him. He makes his lectures interesting by combining real life experiences with the textbook material. I wish I would have taken him for 2302.
mr minemann rocks. he cares about students which is cool because you dont just feel like another one of his students stuck in his class. take him youll be glad that you did.
Mr. Mineman was exactly what a economics teacher should be. If you listen to what he says, show up, take a few notes, and study a little bit as you go throughout the course your chances of getting a B or above are quite high. He's fair, enthusiastic, and Runs a laidback class but definatly knows his stuff & you can learn alot. glad i took his class
Easy class, just do hw and tests. Review sheet covers everything on test. Professor clearly explains major topics and uses real world examples.
GREAT TEACHER .
Very good and easy teacher.I took him and got a A. good explanations and make sure everyone understand. he is also funny...lol
This man is with out a doubt one of the most interesting individuals I have ever came across!If you have the opportunity or should I say have the privelge to take his class..DO IT!!I find his depth of knowlege stimulating and his teaching level bar non the best I have ever had at any University.He is a genius! u have to be stupid to fail this class
The Best Micro professor after taking 3 different professor at hcc and going to his class with no knowledge on micro. This professor is patient and his hw are perfect amount and at the same time you actually learn from it. I will be taking him for Macro during the summer i recomend him you won't regret it. Thanks Prof. Ed! :)
This professor is an asset that should be teaching in prestigious university, not a community college. He is simple and easy to understand. Most importantly he loves his Wife&kids so much( He even makes you kinda of jealous). He teaches the the entire economy in the united states, and your life will make more sense.
Great professor! He really lectures, one of the best I've heard. Take good notes, and study review sheet before test.
i actually looked forward to going to this class. i was always iffy with economics, but he makes it so clear its impossible to fail this class. and plus he's funny so it made learning really fun!
I have taken econ twice prior to this and always seem to fail. i decided to take this class and let me tell you this is the only professor that i can say i learned something from. Keep teaching we need more professors like you :)
One of the greatest professors ive ever taken. He really makes sure you understand the lecture and gives out great examples. Just make sure you do your work and study and you would definetly pass this class.
nice professor. not really an easy A, but if you study for this class, you will get a good grade. this is the class you can learned something, not hard to understanding even im a international student.
good teach. test are easy if you study for it. he give us a fun class and explain details clearly. very helpful especially if you are international student. like his class so much i would recommend take him and you will have fun.
I never read the book and got an A. Professor explains everything, if you pay attention and take notes in class will get at least a B. The textbook and homework is not that helpful, so showing up to class is important for this professor's class. Also I would suggesting taking micro before macro, makes it easier.
Entertaining teacher very funny and approachable...test are pretty straightforward and reviews help a lot great professer
Amazing teacher, I had taken macro at a&m, and that teacher was not even as close as good as this one. This teacher has a lot of experience in the business world, and uses very helpful examples that makes you really understand economics even if you are really dumb, just show up to class do your homework and get an A and enjoy the dark humor.
He made micro easy to understand! It was not hard to pay attention and keep interest in class since he's a very pleasant/funny person. He is always willing to answer any questions during class, or even right before tests. The quizzes really prepare you for the tests. Take good notes, go over them, glance at the book, and you should do great.
TAKE HIM! He's GREAT! HW + Listen to what he says in class = A. I never even used my actual textbook once(resold it to the bookstore still in shrink wrap), and made an A. I took micro at UT, and felt this macro course not only helped me refresh what I learned in micro, but I learned so much more. He explains concepts really well. Plus he's funny.
AMAZING TEACHER!! I took him for micro and macro and this guy is incredible. Makes economics interesting. He also makes the class entertaining... Really recommend this professor!! (also, he really loves his family) :)
took jim for micro, got an A, you will learn what he is teaching if youll listen and take notes, his test are fair, and his reviews are relevant...
GREAT TEACHER! Very precise on what he wants you to understand and is willing to help with anything. Did not use the book at all, but aplia code is required to do homework online. Took him for both Macro and Micro, show up and take notes and you will do excellent, this guy is great. Highly recommended
Great teacher! Lectures are spot on with the tests! He explains concepts very clearly and the tests are pretty simple just pay attention and take notes... Should be an easy A ... Definitely recommend him
Great professor, he knows his material. It was great working with him during the summer. Helpful professor and has a sense of humor.
teaches real world examples which makes the material like stories! He makes you learn more than just economics. he has a good sense of humor and really explains very well. he is crystal clear. I have taken his class twice and I wish I can still have him as my teacher! Tests are easy you just have to understand it. He grades very fair.
Suggestion take micro before macro, makes it easier. Book can be handy but don't really need it. Professor explains everything great, if you pay attention and take notes in class u will get at least a B so don't miss class. The homework is very helpful and is NOT time consuming. Luv this Professor his the best! We need more professors like him!!!
he is the best ... i never read the book ... just take notes and attend class and u will get an a easy... i am looking forward to take micro with him too
Great teacher, just took his macro, got A, very helpful, after taking his class, you will love economic
There are only a handful of professors that love their job and this is one of them. He made the subject easy and clear with real world examples and Economics has never been so easy in my life! Take professor Mineman or regret that you didn't!
AWESOME teacher! applies real world examples to his lectures, explains everything really well and cares about being on the same page with his students. book is hardly used unless you miss a day of class and want to catch up. really recommend taking
Very clear. Know what he's talking about. Tests are lecture based. Examples are real world related. There are reviews before Tests. Lectures are interesting. Excellent professor by far!!!
He is the best econ teacher anyone could ask for, took him for macro and micro. He is super knowledgable about real world issues past and present and ties them into his lectures to make them more interesting and make more sense! Make sure you take notes, don't need book really, he tells you everything you need to know. Overall my favorite teacher
His classes get full right when they open. That says it all. If you're lucky to enroll in his class, I would highly recommend him.
best professor ever. I took him for Econ 2301 and 2302 and both were super easy as long as you take notes and listen. Four more quizzes which is only 5%, two major exams 50%, class participation 15%, and the final 30%. AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best teacher HCC has to offer for Economics.
ED is the best Econ Instructor you can get .... u dont need the book just take notes and u will be fine .... i took with him Econ 2301, 2302 ang got A in both of them ....BEST ECON Instructor in HCC
Mineman is a really good teacher. He gives many examples of why what he is teaching is important. The exams are what he teaches in the classroom so class is mandatory. He is pretty awesome, not dismissive and encourages class participation.
Professor Mineman, is awesome! He is very knowledgeable in Economics and teaches it at level where students understand. He's a fair grader, so if you work hard you will pass. Just do your hw and take notes, that's all you need for the Exams. By far one of the best teachers at HCC.
I got A+ for Econ 1 & 2. Extremely easy and helpful...help you understand how the economy works.
Although "I" made a C in his class he is a really good professor and somewhat funny. I took his 2nd start class so it was more material crammed into a shorter semester. You MUST attend class to do well. His lectures are very informative. I plan to take him for Micro. I highly recommend him.
Mrs. Mineman gives very clear instructions about the class. I took him in 5weeks summer but learnt a lot from him. He's funny and gives examples in daily life basis so it's easier to understand his lecture. TAKE HIM!!!
Professor Mineman is an awesome professor. Took him for the 5wk summer. His lectures are very informative and he makes a point of giving you an understanding of the economy. His experiences and thoughts on the economy are interesting as well!! Take this prof! I'm planning on taking his Micro class as well.
Extremely easy and helpful professor. I would recommend taking his class, but just because I said that his easy. Doesn't mean you can just show up and put no effort into it and expect to get an A. Pay attention and take notes and you can make an A. Everything he discusses in class will be in the exams. There won't be any surprise.
He is reasonable teacher; you get what you put in. No book needed (Understands a broke college student income), TALKS ALOT (Maybe too much), exams are similar to his review. TAKE HIM!!!
Mineman is a very helpful professor. I took Macro and I was lost at first because I had no economics background but I read the first chapter in the book that was his first lecture and I quickly understood what he was talking about. After that I didn't read the book anymore. He was very clear and gave good examples of almost everything. Just listen!
Dude's one of the best Professor's I've ever taken at HCC. He gives real life examples and is very clear at the same time he makes the subject worth learning! Attendance is mandatory and he is very understanding. Participation plays a role in your grade and you have Aplia assignments that are due weekly. By far one of my best Professors!
Definitely one of the greatest professors to ever teach at hcc. He is funny, extremely knowledgeable, and always welcomes questions. You should take his class even if you,re not majoring in economics.
You cannot go wrong with Professor ED Mineman.., cool guy really helpful, knows his stuff, breaks down the course well & helps you to understand how economics works in the real world..."MUST TAKE".
Great instructor! I took him for 5wk summer so it was fast paced. He explained everything & used examples from everyday situations. His exams are based on the review given. I highly recommend him.
Mr.Mineman is awesome! I like the way he was using his life experience as examples. He knew his material very well. You must take him!
great teacher!! easy A if you listen to him and take notes!
Great professor that will respond to emails and help as much as you need and he tends to go on tangents while lecturing in class. He gets his point made in class and knows how to teach.
HE is the best econ instructor at hcc ... i took acct 2301 and 2302 with him ... got a in both ... just take notes and you will be fine
Prof. Ed is a really cool guy and very clear at trying to make his points. make sure you do homework, which is not a lot,and you will be fine... also attendance and participation could get you points you may need. No book! got to love that.
Mr. Mineman is a very reasonable guy. TALK TO HIM IF YOU HAVE ISSUES!! All of his exams come from his LECTURES not the Aplia assignments. TAKE NOTES AND SHOW UP. If he sees you are participating he will take this into consideration when he gives you your final grade. Overall, he's a super reasonable and knowledgeable guy. He knows the field.
Great Teacher, he was very helpful throughout the course. Notes are very important, some of the questions on the tests are from the lectures he gives. The tests are not too hard. I'm not sure if i passed or failed yet but i failed it my own fault.
Excellent Class.... Professor lectures were not boring and it was easy to follow along. Take notes and read the review handouts. He was nice enough to let me take the exam a few days later. What ive read before If i didn't pass its my own fault. He really does try to help us out
An interesting and enlightening course. He editorializes more than most, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. He's usually clear about what is fact and what is opinion or speculation. He is open to contrary opinions. If you make any effort at all you should not have trouble getting an A in this class.
took him for a 3 week mini course. He is a very instructor he give real life examples of the material he covers in the class. I would defiantly recommend him for economics.
Great teacher not easy show up take notes ask questions. Will pass with what you work for.
Really helpful and nice professor. He is definitiely the best ECON professor in HCC.
Very nice teacher; you can't find a better Economics teacher than Professor Mineman. Lectures are NEVER boring, he's funny and always keeps the students interest. He's very clear and uses great examples + gives good exam reviews. He makes Economics easy to understand. Only down side is that it's hard to enroll into his class, it's always full!
Professor Mineman does a great job at teaching economics!! He engages the class and every day is interesting. I learned a lot and probably won't forget it in the future, which is rare.
I just took Professor Mineman for Spring 2015 and I am happy that I took him. His lectures were interesting. I learned a lot after taking this class. You don't have to read a lot. Attend class, take note, do homework. You will pass with an A. He also count attendance and participation as credit. Full term, 1 quiz, 3 exams, online homework.
This is the best professor ever. He always make sure you understand all his concept. Go to class, take note, and participating, then you will be fine.
THE BEST Microecon teacher I have ever seen. Microecon itself if a very hard course to teach yet he goes on to explain it like we're learning 2+2. A great man with great funny personality. He is always trying his best on keeping the class interested and he does a pretty good job on keeping us all awake. He is awesome and you all should take him!!!!
Professor Mineman is not only extremely smart and intellectual, but truly cares to help his students do well in class. The hallmark of a great instructor is to make a complex subject easy to understand and Prof. Mineman is an expert at best! I took both Macro and Micro with him and his lecture are straight to the point and easy to comprehend.
I was fortunate enough to take Ed's Microeconomics class for his last semester at HCC. I can honestly say he was one of the best teachers I've ever had and definitely the best teacher I've had at HCC. Ed is extremely intelligent and has a down to earth sense of humor. His grading criteria is fair and he is open to student's ideas. Would take again!
Just finished his class today. He is my favourite professor. I took both micro and macro with him and I learn a lot from his lectures. I did not think I like economic until I took his class. He is smart, care for students, strict enough to make students study, funny. I wish all other teachers would be like him.
The teacher reads these comments actually he tells his students at the end of the class to write something good wouldn't listen to any of the comments i took him this is his last semester teacher for HCC. he teaches the way he understand which means once you get home and do aplia your on your own because that site uses the book way. wouldnt recomme
He was great teacher! I'm not saying bc he asked us to write something about him but bc he really is a great teacher who honestly makes lectures fun and interesting and you actually learn. His tests are not hard neither easy, and his test reviews have everything needed to pass the test, and you need to attend class as well in order to get an A.
one of the best down to earth professors that i had encounter, his teaching techniques are clear and concise, some material when introduced is difficult to grasp, Mr. Mineman finds ways to explain in different approaches, always looked forward for his lectures. In addition, Is rare to find professors with his expertise. Thank you Mr. Mineman.
Best economic teacher in Houston. He is very knowledgeable. He has his own style of teaching, it was very great and interest. Actually, for me, I feel the rate of easiness is 5 but I give 4 to inspire student to study . AS long as you follow his lecture and use your brain, you should get high A. Business students must take his class!
He is a great professor. Offers extra credit and gives you everything needed to pass his class. He answers questions until you have an understanding, can get off track based on the questions asked by students.
My favor professor, I took his class Economic 2301 and 2302. I learned a lot from his class. In addition, show up and do your review well you will get A.
I am a UT Austin graduate and I have to say, he was one of the best professors I have ever had. His classes, while super informative and engaging, are also full of practical business/economic/life advice. If you do the homework and study, I would say this is an easy A. If I could, I would definitely take one of his classes again.
Mr Ed is an amazing teacher.. please do take him Everything comes from the notes aand if u study them well its an easy B class but if you put extra effort then A is not tough to achieve Over all amazing and highly recommended
If you suck at econ take him. He explains everything in it's simplest form. Two exams and a final. Maybe one pop quiz. You are required to purchase an online code to do the homework, but its worth it-- taking him than some hard teacher.
This professor is a really good teacher. He has an engaging and energetic lecturing style and always has interesting real-world stories to clarify the concepts. He does assign online homework and so you will have to pay $150 if you want to or not. The homework does help though but it's better to start early. Tests are difficult but not impossible.
Great professor! Explains all the concepts throughly. Barely had to look into the textbook because all concepts were grasped through the lecture. Willing to answer any question that you are confused about even if it's not directly related to the topic at hand. Exams and quizzes are easy A's if you grasp concepts. Definitely would recommend!
He understands that not everyone going to become economists. Do your homework, study your notes for your exams. Enjoy the class.
Prof Mineman is a great professor, he is funny and knows his stuff. I don't like economics but he breaks it down in the simplest way. You have to attend class or you'll miss a good chunk of the test, study and read a lot!
Best professor for economics!!!!!
1 quiz, 2 exams and final, pay attention for the bonus questions. Take good notes, study the reviews and do the homework. He explain everything very well and gives plenty of opportunities to ask questions. He is a gem at this school.
Amazing Professor,his lectures are easy to understand and are detailed. HE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT,honestly all i did was sit in the class and participate and it payed off i made 95's on the first 2 exams,I studied very little. It helps to pay attention in class and participate, which is also extra credit. Great Professor, take him you wont regret it!!
Best professor I've ever had! I came into his class not knowing a single thing about macro, so I was very scared to take on micro. However, since day one, I've easily followed the class, I attended all his lectures, and his tests are very relevant to what he teaches! I highly recommend Professor Mineman. He is fair, funny, and easy to understand.
He is the best.
The best econ professor in all of the infinite universes! He dumbs it down so you can understand the concept of econ without relying to heavily on the usage of charts. I took him for one semester for macro and now am currently enrolled in UH taking micro if it wasnt for him i would be totally lost, a shame I couldnt take him again. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!
This Professor is amazing. He makes the class very interesting, fun, and gives real life examples that makes easy to understand the material. It is extremely important to attend class, pay attention, and take notes!!!If you do, then you won't have a problem passing the class and you will learn a lot. One of the best professors I have ever had!
Mineman is amazing when it comes to his robust lectures, along being one of the better professors. However, DO NOT COME to his class if you expect it to be a breeze. DOES NOT OFFER EXTRA CREDIT NOR DROP LOWEST TEST GRADE. TWO TESTS AND 1 FINAL. TAKE NOTES, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,ASK QUESTIONS, and you'll pass. Lastly folks, study study study!!!
Hes a great guy, very funny and caring. Take really good notes, economics is not an easy subject but he will try to explain it until you get it. Study hard! Exams are over material done in class. If you have questions reach out to him.
Best professor I've ever taken. Makes the lecture really interesting. Made me love economics and even consider doing it as a major. By far the best professor in the economics department. Exams are based on exactly what he goes over in class. You don't have to read the book. Just pay attention to his lecture.
Hands down hes the best professor ever. He is really knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches.
Probably the hardest class I've taken in HCC. I had a bit of a prob but he communicated with us and solved it. He's pretty okay, at first he seems scary but towards the end of the semester he lightens up. He teaches well. The only problem is studying for the test. It's a lot! 6 chapters for each test and there are 3 in total. It's hard work!
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. He is so rude and when you have a question and ask him he is rude and he don't want to explain if he already explained. When you will do the exam you need to use lockdown browser with cam.
Prof has amazing lectures however his tests are hard and unfair. He creates his own test banks with different level of difficulty questions and everyone receives different questions which is based on a luck of draw so some have more harder questions versus others with less. Refused to curve the tests despite the averages being 50s and 60s.
Hes a nice guy, but not a good professor. I dont know why everyone gave him 5 stars. He says one thing and does another. He makes 2 versions of the test and makes one harder, dont expect to get the easier one, because its likely you wont. The test are monitored and he watches all the videos as well. His reviews are also vague.
If you have the opportunity, take him!!! His lectures are always interesting and his reviews have all the topics that might be on the exams. He gives you all the resources you need to be successful in this class. Pay very close attention to his lectures and you will be fine!
2 test and a final, gives notes of everything on the test uses LOCKDOWN BROWSER, hw and quiz for every ch. He cares about attendance, show up to every class put the effort in and he will help you also the survey show proof and thats his way of extra credit. He is very smart and very knowledgeable! Wish I had him for both Econ classes
Passionate about his subject. Watch his lecture videos, read the book, and study the review and you will pass with no problem (not to say the subject content is easy, but he makes it enjoyable instead of a daily grind).
Mineman really loves to teach the course, that makes econ 2301 understandable, fun, and most importantly, bearable. He makes economics and finance seem interesting and worth exploring. His exams are from what he has said in class or is in his review sheets, no more and no less. So attendance is very important. He is very helpful and fair. Take him.
EDs the man.
At first, Microeconomic seemed like a difficult course for me to understand, but I am glad I took it with professor Mineman, has a unique way of teaching, he used examples from current events, popular TV shows, and even video games to make the complicated microeconomic principles relatable and easy to understand. I truly enjoyed his class.
His lectures are amazing and he also provides personally written material of the content he is covering which is accessible to everyone who is taking his class. GRAB HIS CLASS BEFORE THEY GO OUT, 1) IT'S WORTH IT 2) YOU WILL PASS/OVERACHIEVE IF YOU ARE NOT LAZY 3) IT'S A HOT COMMODITY. Took his Macro class (2021) and loved it so I took his Micro!
TAKE HIM! He's such a great professor because he provide everything a student needs to succeed in this class. There was never a boring lecture because he's a funny guy and so willing to repeat and explain concepts. He provided review sheets, extra credit, clear expectations, and a great fun atmosphere.
Honestly the best HCC teacher I've ever had. Had no knowledge about economics coming in, but his way of making the lectures extremely entertaining made me learn so much and love the subject by the end. Assignments and tests were spread out nicely and not difficult at all if you pay attention. Extremely easy to talk to.
Really funny and nice professor! He teaches pretty well and the assignments are easy, just study for the tests is all you should really do.
Tests are less on textbook info and more on lecture. Online assignments and quizzes. Pay attention in class and you'll be alright. Understanding and studying the material is on you though, stuff can easily get complex. Funny and tries his best to relate things to real world examples sometimes gets off topic but those are student favs teachers
In comparison to other professors at HCC, his class is difficult. I coasted in all my other classes, getting a 4.0, but had to drop his class. His exams were in person, so cheating isn't as easy as online. Had I known he'd be this difficult I would've avoided his class or tried a little harder.
Do not take this professor if you are going to study Economics. During the first meeting, he announced he tailored the class to economics applicable in business. You will miss key concepts which will be used later in your studies. HW is online and easy but a bit time-consuming. 70% of your grade is exams. All tests except the final are easy.
None better, very reasonable.
Very knowledgable professor with 10+ years of experience working in industry. Due to this experience Mr. Mineman gives fantastic real world examples and anecdotes when teaching new concepts and their applications. His test are not very math heavy and are rather easy. Would definitely recommend this course to a friend. Overall amazing teacher.
for the love of your gpa and grade DONOT TAKE HIS CLASS in any circumstances. He requires a lockdown and webcam for his makes his own exams. He makes typo mistakes on exams and blames it on students for not understanding the question. HE is very test heavy, 70% is pure exam grade. He doesnt care about this students during summer classes.
Y'all are lying about this man - I don't understand how he has such a high rating. Literally the toughest professor I've ever had. Lockdown browser at a community college is wild and his exams are extremely difficult. DO NOT TAKE HIM
The professor doesn't provide instruction to his online class, has 70% of grades depend solely on exams, and creates difficult questions for said exams. He fails to take accountability when multiple students send complaints or fails his course and doesn't respond to emails quickly.
Summer online class. Don't procrastinate. Lockdown browser for all exams. If you plan to CHEAT your way through this course and DON'T CARE about learning don't take this class. He will give you the tools to succeed in this course, if you fail, it's all on YOU. Do your part and you will do fine. He makes himself available if you have questions.
He is very nice professor! All the questions in every exam are very straightforward if you pay attention to the review sheet and statistics that he gives to u! Im sure that it is very easy class to get an A!
Prof. Ed was amazing. Take him if you need an easy A. Three exams and light assignments due every week. He gives out reviews for exam. You just need to pay attention in the class. He teaches in a very interactive way and repeats things that are important for exam.
Excellent Professor. He's very friendly and cares about his students. He always makes sure you understand the topic.
Don't rely on the textbook for exams. They're useful for the hw but use his review sheets for the exams bc he pulls from them. Tends to go on tangents of the economy. loves questions. 3 hw per chptr due Sunday. final is exam and short essay. can check grade on exam after testing if u stay behind. I liked him just make sure to study.
He is a good professor and his lectures are interesting. For exams, study the review sheet and show up when he reviews what would be on the test (sometimes he gave an answer or 2)!! The online homework was easy to get through. He is understanding and humorous, would recommend him if you don't mind taking tests in person.
Professor makes the course content engaging with real-world examples. Attendance is mandatory, but the material is manageable if you stay on top of it. unstuck AI was a great supplement for exam prep.
This professor talks about his world experiences more than about actual class concepts. He reads off of a word document no actual work examples just lecturing. Take this class as you wish.
Took him for ECON 2301 and ECON 2302. 3 exams in total, which aren't too bad considering its what's covered in his lectures using his word documents which he also provides. We used Achieve for our assignments, which was a bit of a handful. Overall he's really hilarious and makes sure you understand what he's teaching. HIGHLY recommend!!
cares for the students, organized module overall for assignements due at the end of the week, focusing only on lectures is sufficient to get a good grade in the class.
just an amazing professor overall
Amazing professor with easy-to-understand lectures. Very casual and understanding if you are not able to show up. Gives us review sheets that cover all of the relevant chapters throughout the course. Exams are usually 30~ questions with some bonus questions as well. Exams are extremely easy since most of it is covered in the review sheets.
