Gbago Creppy is clueless. This course is an easy passing grade but you won't learn a darn thing. I feel like my tuition money went right in the trash. Creppy needs to attend an economics course to learn the material.

Dr. Creppy is one of the best professors I've had. I took him for ECO 201 & 202. He doesn't tolerate "bad apples". Do your work and turn them in on time. Quizzes and exams are straight from lecture which he presents in powerpoint & students have access to them. I learned a lot from his classes. Very friendly, helpful and understanding.

This class was one of the best that I have taken in college. I have had very few profs that are willing to do so much to explain and clarify the lessons for students. The prof put an extraordinary effort into his teaching. I would highly recommend this prof and would be excited to take another one of his classes in the future!

He is the best teacher ever! As long as you go to class listen to his lectures, you are going to do well. He rewards those students that don't missed a class and those that ask questions regurlary;But don't ask stupid questions, please.

Dr. Creppy's approach to teaching is commendable. His goal is for you to learn & understand economics. Attendance & participation in class are required. He is available during office hours & beyond to ensure students are receiving the help needed. If you pay attention, study, & attend classes, you should have no problem passing this course.

Ed Creppy is lazy! It's that simple. This class is an easy A but it's because Creppy is too lazy to do any real teaching or grading. Take the course if you need the grade and you aren't worried about learing material that must be applied to upper level economics courses. He is lazy, that's it.

He weeds out the weak in the classroom. If you are lazy and don't pay attention you WILL embarrass yourself. However, if you love economics this is the perfect professor for you. He can be lazy at times by canceling class out of nowhere and the assignments are all online.

Some reviewers claim Dr. Creppy is a tough grader, or that he calls people out unfairly. The truth is that he gives you up to six attempts to take the final and midterm EACH. Dr. Creppy is a supremely principled man, and his unsentimental approach to econ is subtly humorous, fascinating and informative. He is the best professor I have ever taken.

Six week online course. 2 proctored exams, 20 quizzes, and a few discussions. Each quiz has two practice quizzes, do those!!! In total, you will do 3 quizzes for each chapter, and the 2 proctored exams have questions from these quizzes. He is very caring and posts announcements, and responds quickly to emails. I would take him again!

I enjoyed the class and the material, but not the professor. After the 3rd week of assignments not being open at the beginning of the week per the syllabus, and contacting Dr. Creppy several times with no improvement, I wrote the dean. Dr. Creppy then lied and said I was opening the assignments too early when I was not. Ridiculous.

Dr. Creppy is a wonderful economics professor. He makes class very easy, provided you attend the lectures and pay close attention. The most important thing to know is that Dr. Creppy has strict standards that he will hold you and himself to. These are not unfair at all, literally just pay attention and stay off your phone. Write good notes though.

Dr Creepy is a very nice professor. You just need to attend regularly and take clear notes, everything you need for the course comes from his lectures. Quizzes are online, and the in-class assignments are directly based on your notes. He doesn't like students using their phones during class, but class is interesting and the time goes by quickly.

If you want an easy A take this professor! He goes over everything in lecture that will be on the quizzes and they are ALL open note! He is very knowledgeable and a super caring professor. He even dropped our final because the class was scoring well on quizzes:)

I took him for Eco 202 online. It was the hardest class I have taken at Nova. There is so much reading, and the quizzes are difficult, especially with the graphing. Two protected exams were very difficult. I recommend you take another professor if you want to do online or just take him in person.
