Overall he is a fair teacher. The notes are ready to print in his class website. all works are through the internet (((online))). The problem is that his tests are sooooo hard.

Everything is online. NOBODY attends class because of low motivation which ultimately makes this a hard class.

lecture notes are online... he explains things pretty clearly... just people become lazy to come to class because the notes are online... thats why some people find it a hard class but its not..

He is a good teacher and one of the best in the ECON department. Most people do not come to class b/c the lecture notes are on-line. That is why most find the class hard. However, it is not that bad if you attend class.

He's a good teacher. Just remember that ECON is not an easy subject and go to class. If you do that you'll be fine.

Ed teaches fast yet effectively. He explains well and is very organized. The class webpage is very helpful in general. If you know econ 100 you will be fine in econ 101. His exams accurately reflect problem sets. GO TO CLASS even though the lecture notes are online.

Funkhouser's lectures are very boring but, his class is not that hard if you GO TO CLASS and do the problem sets. A lot of people do not go to class so they find it hard. Dont be fooled, even though he puts all of lectures online he doesnt fully explain them until he talks about them in class this i

Exams were easy enough to pass with a B. He keeps U somewhat busy with assigments but he's an easy grader except for the 1st week. He's hella' nice.Lecture is going over the notes so if u study the notes u dont need to go to class, but if u do u will do a little better on the exams.Would Take again!

Very easy class if you do the problem sets, which are online and straight out of the book. Should be a breeze for anyone remotely interesting in economics.

He's a nice guy but his lectures are boring. As long as you study the notes and do the problem sets you should be fine. And the Final is cumulative.

class is boring FO SHO (for sure). However, if you do the problem sets AND study your mistakes you should do well. TO GET AN A: show up to class because he explains (not well, but he tries). TO GET AN A: do problem sets. TO GET AN A: review AND UNDERSTAND old tests and problem sets before each test. NOT 2 MUCH 2 ASK, maybe an hour or two per week!

Awesome teacher! Knows how to teach and knows his material. Very helpful when needed.

very smart teacher. knows what he is talking about and really puts forth excessive effort to teach and be fair in doing it. the one teacher i found at csulb to be really fitting of what a college professor ought to be. if you want an easy A, slack off and not learn anything class, then dont take him. if you want a real college experience, he's it

Good Teacher. print out notes from his website, but you still need to come to class, theres alot of extra info in lecture. 4 tests & a final with 25-50 MC questions and a graph essay part. old tests on website. dont need the book. may look like you can slack off but DONT. easy class if you work at it and come to lecture. makes every effort to help.

Go to class, do the homework, you'll be fine. Posts previous tests online

Tough subject material but he is a good professor. Just print out his lecture notes, go to class and know how to draw the graphs for the test. It's a hard class no matter what, but if you pay attention and do the homework, you can get an A. Plus, he posts old tests online which makes studying a lot easier.

Pretty straight forward. He doesn't ever try to trick you, which is not normal for the Econ department. There are 5 Policy Topics whicha are super easy and can help boost your grade, and there are 3 exams. Beginning of semester is boring because it's all review, once he really gets into the subject it get really interesting.

Do not buy the book!didnt even use it once!he gives us the notes but you still need to attend class because otherwise the notes will not make any sense whatsoever! he is not very good at answering questions because he usually says "I was about to get to that but let me finish this up" and he never goes back. search for a better professor!

He is pretty good. can be boring but for the most part he tries to keep u interested. has the class using iclickers now. never uses the book. the problem sets are easy if you go to class. the tests are hard if you dont study. ima B student and im doing fine overall. id take the class again becuz im u can maintain a good grade w/o being stressed out

He holds back a little bit, He's a Harvard Grad. So not some typical average professor. When your done with his class you will know your stuff.

He is good in terms of his teaching method, only thing is that I did not ever read the book in his class. When I took this class, I'm at the majority of his office hours and from this, I learned very much and seemed like I know the materials way better than I thought. This was very interesting and I showed that I could even teach the subject myself

Not the best teacher, but def. not the worst. Pros: The class is lecture based so no need to buy the textbook, and he posts multiple copies of previous years' exams with a detailed answer key to help you study. Cons: His lecture style is not very engaging, and you only get 5 out of 20 if you turn in a hw assignment late.

You'll def learn a lot in this class, but it involves a ton of reading. Some assignments involve 200+ pages of info, and you have to figure out what is relevant so you don't waste your time reading the wrong stuff. I didn't like the short time he gave us between posting the readings on his website & the due date, sometimes less than a week!

Economics was quite a difficult and tricky subject, but he makes it clear to the point of which the materials are not at all tricky or difficult to understand. If you need to take ECON 101, take him. He is the best.

The Funkhouser is the best! Just to know that at the beginning, he uses examples like Pizza Slices, Hot Dogs, and Chicken Sandwiches when talking about substitute goods. He makes the subject clear to the point that I find it not to be tricky at all, making the course very understandable. I totally enjoyed taking this class with him!

his lectures are really clear just boring. grades attendance by doing iclicker problems during lecture. review the old tests he posts online and ull do pass the test.

Funkhouser was a pretty great instructor. His first two exams are the easiest, the third is a little harder, and the final is cumulative so that gets pretty tough. All notes are online and the book is helpful when you don't understand lecture. Weekly homework, and Iclicker use. Overall good instructor.

Funkhouser is pretty awesome. He is a little socially awkward but if you're a student that communicates with the prof, then you're good. Tests are almost verbatim his study guides/class notes. Uses the iClicker every class meeting. No extra credit. Final is the only tricky one, mainly because its cumulative, other than that, awesome class.

Real easy class. He puts up multiple tests from previous years as a test review. Homework is online and easy. Gives extra credit on test depending on how bad the class does. You can easily get an A by doing homework, going to class and reviewing the notes and problem examples. 3 mid terms and a cumulative final.

really good professor,easy class. Just show up in the class and do few simple questions. You don't need listen the whole class, review the notes he give and do the past paper he post online, you will be fine. 3 midterm, 1 final and couple homework, all MC. really easy! make sure study before the exam, you will get A like me! :)

One the best professors that I have taken so far at CSULB. His notes are meticulous. They explain the basics very clearly. You'll still need to come to class because in order to know how to apply the concepts to different situations. Extremely helpful during office hours. Very lenient grader. Math part might be difficult for some.

Easy B, kinda gotta work for an A. His grading is fair. Do the practice exams! His homework is damn near necessary as it is exactly what you will see on the tests, and it is worth a large amount. Just like Econ 100, it is a class full of axioms that build on themselves with a bit of logic necessary.

I don't understand why his rating is so low. Yes, he talks really fast but he posts up lecture notes beforehand and everything else you need (past midterms/finals and answers) to learn and pass the class with a decent grade, so don't bother getting the book. Show up to class and review the notes, problem sets, and past exams and it's an easy A.

He is such a sweetheart, very much enjoyed his wry sense of humor. Don't bother buying the book because you don't use it that much, the class is pretty easy to understand if you review the lecture notes beforehand.

show up, do the problem sets, review the practice exam, listen and ask questions. if he doesn't know you are having a hard time, how can he help you?

Funk is the homie, you will get the grade you deserve based on your effort for econ 310.All you econ 101 students, c'mon it's an easy class don't blame the professor. Funk is very clear and will repeat himself when ever asked, does not assign a lot of h/w. Pay attention and ask question, but most importantly show up! Does cough a lot, UENO

Great professor, better than expected. He has the method of explaining the subject matter to the way of which it is not at all tricky. Sometimes in some of the concepts of supply and demand or the indifference curves portion, he uses bacon and sausages in his examples. Wonder if such and such would be if an ECON professor with the name Bacon would.

He's actually a good professor. I advise you not to fall behind. Keep up because he goes quick. His midterms are a lot like the problem sets so get familiar with problem sets and the clicker questions. Attend class!

Class is really dull. You go. You look at powerpoints. You leave. He does an okay job at explaining concepts and tests do require adequate amounts of studying. He posts past exams online to practice. However, he does try to trick you in reversing what you practice so many times.

He's talks fast, but he's explains the material clearly. He has past exams that you can simply memorize and get a very easy A on the class since he recycles most of the questions except for current events. His lecture notes are all you need for that class. I ended up getting 95.5% in the class without using the textbook.

People seem to think he is a hard teacher. I am not an Econ major and I still loved this class! He always brings up topics that have happened very recent! Our final had a question about something that happened earlier that day in the news! Don't worry, you don't have to keep up on the news he will explain it!

Funkhouser is an awesome professor. What you need to know: Go to class (he will have iclicker for participation) and follow along the lectures and you will be solid(he's not too boring so you'll be fine). The material itself is not difficult at all you will have to understand the concept he presents. Take him

I never enjoyed econ or even thought I would have to take it again. I started the class fearing I would fail or barely pass with a C. If you print out the notes and follow along during lecture, you should not be failing! He explains the concept very well even if its not interesting. Don't sweat the homework. Test is simple if you pay attentioned.

2 Exams 10 Papers 1 Research Paper Midterm & Final VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD. If you do all the assignments and show up to class I guarantee at least a B-. Papers He's really clear. Read a couple articles and then give YOUR OPINION on the case. Final Paper: Start Early and ask for feedback early HONESTLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLASSES. MADE ME GROW

Funkhouser is a really good lecturer and he knows what he is talking about. I took him for Advanced Micro and I got a B in his class. He explains things really well and he definitely knows what he's talking about. He's super friendly too! So you should definitely take him for upper division econ classes. 0:3

Great, caring guy professor. His lectures are slow and mellow so you should not have a hard time understanding the subjects. He is helpful and is willing to review your papers to make sure you understand what is going on. He is not a tough grader but he does expect you to make logical arguments in the papers & exams. Take him!

Funkhouser is a good professor. Workload: weekly problem sets that are few hours long ps I don't see why so many undergrads take this class (note it's a shared section with econ 510). Advanced micro is relatively calculus/math heavy for an undergrad so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are Math Econ option and perhaps thinking about grad school.

I highly recommend sitting next to someone so you can work out the clicker questions together (they can get confusing). Overall he does try to explain and clarify everything. It's easy to get lost in his lectures if you don't pay attention and zone out. Past midterm/final exams are posted, so practice them as much as you can!

He has notes for all his lectures, homeworks, and exams available online. He isn't vague about what to practice for the exams. He wants you to do well. What else can you ask for. He lectures on the concepts and then teaches you the equations to complete the problems, unlike some other econ profs at CSULB. No nonsense!

Funkhouser is a very fair prof. You don't need the book but you do have to buy a clicker because you do them every class. Study the notes and do the problem set questions, they help for exams. If you email him he will reply to you quickly. He posts study guides and they help for exams. He does talk fast but concepts are fairly easy. I RECOMMEND

Really great professor. Really describes things clearly. Kinda tends to jump around the board a bit when working through problems. Exams are questions taken directly from the HW and notes. Not a lot of homework. Definitely easy to pass. Would highly recommend him. Really cares about his students understanding. Does lots of examples in lecture.

Love this guy... He's a smart and mathy guy, really enjoyed his class. Took him over the summer and despite the difficult nature of the course (given the short time span), I feel like I learned a lot thanks to this professor.

His lecture is easy to understand but sometimes he might go quite fast. Having someone next to you to do the clicker questions is highly recommended. He does provide previous midterms and finals beforehand, practicing them is really important if you want to get an A. Overall a great and fair professor. Take him!!

He gives examples in class and also provides them online. You need to study and practice in order to do well. The HW and old tests help for the exams, they will not be the same so you need to understand the material. Ask questions, redo all HW, study all old tests.

I was skeptical at first because he had really low reviews; however, his class is not bad. I wouldn't necessarily say he is good at teaching, but the class itself is not too hard. He posts all his old tests online, so STUDY those: The same questions appear on your midterms. Just review your notes and practice old tests, and you'll get an A.

I took this course during the pandemic and it really isn't too bad. The content started to get a bit harder after the second midterm and he could have explained things better, but I understood the concepts after doing a lot of his practice tests. Overall, he teaches well and he's an easy grader when it comes to short answer questions. I recommend

This is my third class with him(110, 310 and 410). Solid Professor. His class grading format is 10 problem sets and 3 tests normally and he posts all past midterms and finals for you to practice. Class is boring so I skipped A LOT but as long as u can figure out the problems sets, you will prob do fine on the test.

He got his Ph.D. at Harvard. I don't think he really understands that CSULB students are not on the same level. Very simple: submit late - fail, make mistakes - fail. Just do everything you are asked to do on time and make sure you do it right and you get an easy A. Don't fall behind.

Prof. Funkhouser is a solid choice as long as you work well in a nearly asynchronous course. His lectures are straight to the point (all online), and homework (and even exam) answers are easy to find. He grades very quickly and you have a good idea of how you do in his class throughout the semester.

Prof. Funkhouser is an amazing teacher. Don't buy the textbook; everything you need is in the lectures. Make sure to pay attention and be engaged during class; the lectures are like a group study session. Tests are based off of problem sets and old exams; there are exams up to 2006. Class is less conceptual and more quantitative. HW worth 36%.

*clash of clans opening*

Uses iclickers, posts pasts midterms and finals. If you study the past exams, you can get a good score since most of the questions will reappear. Weekly homework is a worksheet with around 20 multiple choice questions. Has his own website, didn't use Beachboard. Lectures were chill but mandatory because of iclicker questions.

Attend class because there are a lot of clicker questions. This subject is not easy so i can not recommend going to classes/ trying on the homeworks enough. The class is not easy and requires work but definitely not impossible. Tests are basically identical to his previous ones so to study use those resources for sure

iclickers for attendance. lectures r slow but fast, not much funk to them. got through the class with the past exams he provided as a study guide. lenient grader honestly at the end of the semester. 10 questions of hw every week that did help. uses his own website so making a discord is harder. not too bad of a class but going to tutoring helped !
