Great teacher, helpful, hard tests, still easy to get an A. Very handsome!
cool guy...HARD tests! nice looking too!
He's an awesome teacher and a great guy. The lectures are fun and interesting. He always makes sure we understand all the material before moving on. He's a handsome guy too....
He makes macro economics seem like a piece of cake! great reviews for tests and great exam system!
This man is so good looking! He is also very smart. However his tests are very hard...but you can use your notes.
Excellent Teacher for macro econ, 2 assignments, 2 tests, 2 optional finals to replace test grades. His class is fun to go to (although I didn't much) because he has a sense of humor and he explains things well. He reminds me of an older Michael J Fox.
this teach is a real cool guy.. his class is kinda hard.. but he explains things really well and lets u use ur notes and stuff on the tests! plus he has make up tests for if u screw up! saweet!

The best teacher I had so far. Explains everything very very clear. Cool as hell too.
He is a cutie! Tests are a little difficult but lets you use notes. 2 assignments, 2 semester exams, 2 finals(optional) Good teacher and explains things well.Cool guy. Very funny.
Not bad on the eyes at all. Very cool teacher, wouldn't mind taking his class all four years of college.
He is a great teacher. Makes economy fun. Tests are multiple choice, kinda hard, but you can still get an A if you study (you can answer them using your notes & book). He is also REALY good looking...
Best teacher for macro
He's a good teacher, I like the class. The concepts are just kind of hard. He tries to help you understand them though. He's energetic but not in an annoying way. Tests are not too bad, just make sure you understand the work.
His tests are quite challenging but the notes are helpful although I didn't need them for 80% of the questions. Because of his drop the lowest grade replace final exam policy I got an A.
Awesome teacher, tries to make the best out of a boring class. Highly recommend, as long as you study the homework and notes you'll do fine.
Awesome teacher, but goes off on tangents too much... stay after class for the answers to the assignments!!
Class very organized, only two tests two assignments finals are optional Very easy and explains things well
very COOL guy. very nice and helpful. easy class just study his notes and do the assignments. exams are not bad. he tries to make the best out of the class
Ladys!!! He is H-O-T...nice green/blue eyes to stare at =D besides that, he drops your lowest exam score! He knows his stuff, and attendence is NOT required. Lectures are interesting,and his good looks motivated me enough to go to a few of his classes.
I had not clue what I was doing and I got a B. Tests were hard but they were curved. Definitely stay after class cuz he gives the answers to the assignments. Not bad to look at either.
Dude, this guy is HOT! Ok- Notes are very straightforward and essential. Two tests and two assignments for the semester. He is willing to go over and give correct answers to the assignment if class makes an effort to discuss the answers.
He is an excellent teacher. In fact he has been my best teacher at UCF thus far. He explains everything, he is far from boring. He's funny and the class time goes by really fast. You must take him if you're taking Macroeconomics! He's the best!
Very good teacher. Extremely intelligent. Tests are difficult, but in the end he is very generous in assigning final grades. You have to take him. He is funny and makes the class interesting.
Best teacher i have ever had in my life!! Awesome class. If you have to take economics, take from him!!
Good look'n!HOTTIE!He is striaght forward, and counts 3 out of 4 exams.Use the 2 assignment grades to boost up ur grade, b/c he practically gives out the answers if you stay after class. Easy course if you take it with him. Does not take attendence.
Take this class he is the best teacher in the world.
This teacher is good. Due to hurricanes he let us have a take home exam. There are two exams, each worth 40 percent, and one assignment worth 20% (he gives you the answers to the assignment, thats worth 20%, just be sure to stay after the lecture). he teaches well and is funny. HIs exams are fai
Dr. Wolpert is a great teacher. The class is hard, but he makes it as easy as possible.
awesome teacher - fellow SEMINOLE! made a very boring subject very interesting (for me at least). would take another of his classes.
easy if you took any kind of economics in high school...can we say hot?? fair grader and what college teacher gives their students a take home exam? take this class!
Very good at dumbing down economics for us slow learners. Makes the class interesting and of course it helps that he is nice to look at. Tests can be hard. That is speaking for us slow learners that don't study much either. Stay to get answers to the assignment and also for the review for each exam.
I didn't like him. The class was easy... but it was so boring. I never went to class. If I did go, I left early. He treats us all like we're 5 yr old "special" kids. He thinks that we have no brain capacity and breaks everything down to the last detail (ex. 1 hr lesson on how to sell a bike).
Took Macro...wont lie, it was hard, but not due to him. He's a nice guy and makes it as easy as possible. Tests are hard, but he curves, and if you showed up "the assignment" was a given. I made it out with a B+, so its not bad.
He's very good at dumbing down economics. But for anyone with common sense, he has the most boring lectures. Tests were fairly hard, but he is decent with curving, etc. If you like one hour lectures on selling a bike, take this guy.
The subject may be a tough one to keep interested, but Wolpert's examples made class interesting to listen to. He tries to relate the subject to college student's life. Open Book tests are not as easy as you think, but doable. Over all, he's an awesome guy.
Dr. Woleport is a great teacher, definetly take him!!!. Economics isnt the most stimulating of subjects but he does a great job of making it interesting, plus he lets us out early! He grades very fair, but even though his tests are open book/notes you still need to study.
GREAT TEACHER! for a boring subject he tries to make it as exciting as possible the tests are open-book but there is a time limit and u should still study b/c some of the questions are kinda difficult, the final is voluntary to bring up ur grade, hes a nice guy, lets u out early, i totally recommend
Great teacher! Down to earth, and not fast-paced. Willing to explain things and uses great examples. 2 tests (one take home) and final is optional. 1 assignment (answers given in class!). Come 2 class and you'll easily get an A or B
He made Economics easier to understand..just go to class (you will want to because hes HOT!!) and you can easily make it out of there with a B.
Dr. Wolpert was an amazing professor. He knew what he was talking about and made a difficult subject easier to understand. If you have to take this class take it from him!!!! He is also absolutely adorable. I can't say enough nice things about him! He's such a hottie!!!

Good Teacher, Nice guy
He truely wants his students to do well in his class. He breaks down economics into the simple terms and uses tons of examples to make sure you understand the material. Out of all the macro teachers, definitely take him. There are only two tests and one assignment the whole semester - go to class he gives you the answers to the assignment
Awesome professor, the tests are open book and open notes, and 20% of your grade is practically given to you.
HIS LAST NAME IS WOLPERT NOT WOLPER. GO LOOK FOR HIS REAL NAME!
pretty easy but if you dont really try to understand you wont. 2 tests and 1 assignment. all assignment answers are given to you. at the end you can try to raise ur grade by retaking both tests. easy class nice guy take him.
Good teacher, make sure you go to class for the notes or get them from someone else. Also, be sure to do the assignment, he gives you the answers in class. Tests aren't easy, expecially the second one. I recommend you take your computer to class, he is a fast talker!!!
TAKE HIM FOR MACROECONOMICS. He's the best. Just do it.
very cool teacher! tries to make a dry subject entertaining and does his best. ask questions and he will help you! dont buy the book, you wont need it if u attend each class. best for macro. choose no other
I could listen to this guy all day... :)

The Best Economics teacher I've ever had!Not only does he actually care about us undertanding the material, but he is also a very cool guy. If you have a question or a problem with the material he is always more than happy to help you. His tests are fair, and if you study for them, you should have no problem getting an A in the class!
HE IS AMAZING!! Very clear, very helpful. Tests are int he testing center, but if you're followiing the lectures they're easy! I never opened the book, I studied the notes for the tests and got an A. LOVED this class
Dr. Wolpert is a great professor. He knows his stuff and explains it very clear. Go to class and do the homework since he gives you the answers anyway. Study the notes you take and briefly read the book if you buy it, and you should have no problem getting a good grade in his class. Take him!
very good professor and looks good to. took a not so interesting class and made it interesting
Great professor. Takes boring and somewhat confusing material and breaks it down enough that its simple. Gives the answers to the homework before its due and if you pay attention in class you will do good on the tests. Very approachable if you have questions...what more do you want in a professor?
This is one of my favorite classes! The professor is great, the tests are fair, and he gives you opportunities to bring up your grade by giving you the answers to the homework! I would definatly recommend this guy!!!
Uses great examples, teaches better than the book. i bought one and didnt even look at it once.
This is the best Economics professor. If you can't pass his Economics Class, start thinking about a major other than business.
HE IS AMAZING! i strongly suggest you take him. he makes learning economics FUN!
good teacher. tests are hard. gives the answers to the assignments. i got a C.
totally cutie! soo nice! funny, helpful and actually interesting considering the topic! i really wish he taught more classes. definitely recommend him
Wolpert is the man, he makes it so easy if you just go to class and LISTEN. If you do, don't even need to read the book to get a B+. Study the book? get an A. Crystal clear and will go slow for people who are lost. Please don't interrupt him in class or you will be wasting his time, he hates that.
WOLPERT IS AWESOME! Highly recommend him as a teacher, he made economics interesting and way easier than you would think it ever could be. I took it from 6-850 at night and we never stayed past 8, Assignment answers are given IN class so it is definitely worth your time to go to class. TAKE MACRO AND TAKE IT WITH HIM!
THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST ECON TEACHER EVER. i took econ in highschool and this teacher far surpassed my old teacher. Stay after the fifteen minute breaks he gives, and he GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUIZ QUESTIONS! if you don't want to buy the book, all you have to do to study for the tests is study the quizes and his notes. STUDY THO!
This teacher was sooo hard!!! Test were the worst and you had to take them in the writing center. On the test is all examples and no straightforward answers. Hard to talk to if you need help.
Very clear. Very funny/sarcastic. Very friendly. One of the most enjoyable lecturers I've ever had. Highly recommend him. Only four tests, so don't mess up, but a nice 3/100 extra credit for doing the online assignments in full.
prob. the best economics teacher (although that's not saying a whole lot). really nice guy pretty interesting. not too hard of a class. the hw questions are a lot of the regular test questions...STUDY for the final tho. i didn't study anything but the hw and got a C. go to class to get hw questions. would recommend it
Tests were very, very hard. He is a good professor and pretty funny, and he makes the very long classes seem not too long. I did learn a lot, but he really does not help prepare you for the tests well, and their hard enough as is. Be prepared to study a lot.
Economics is a hard subject but he made it easy. take him for macro!
I found this class really easy. It was long but he made things very clear to you. If you didn't get it he would go over it. Also tests were pretty much based on the worksheets he gave you with the answers!!! I didn't even go to class all the time and ended up with an A. His class isn't difficult for what it should be!
Took his Macro 2013 class. Made material extremely easy to unterstand. Great teacher, would recommend to anyone. Only issue was only once a week night class when I took it, but we hardly every stayed the full time, usually done by 8 (class was supposed to go until 9)
Macroeconomics is a difficult subject, but Wolpert makes it a lot easier and stress-free. His real world examples are awesome; definitely write them down to help you remember on the tests. If you show up, he gives you the answers to the homework at the end. Ends his night classes an hour early yet you still get all the info needed for the tests.
He is very easy going and funny, his lectures are clear, if your're not into economics then he will make it easy to understand
Great teacher!! Econ is hard and still will be hard with a great teacher. He is the easiest that you will find on this campus as far as economics goes!
Great teacher. the examples he used made it really easy to learn the material. Im sitting in micro with a different teacher as we speak wishing he was teaching this. Take Him! if you study the notes and understand the graphs you'll get an A. plus he's beautiful which makes it easier to pay attention :)
One of the best teachers at UCF. His grading scale is set up to help you. Don't really need the book, bcus he explains everything so well. Do all the assignments( he gives the answers) even the 1 thats extra credit. My 3 tests avg were a low c almost a D, but I did well on the final with a B, which got me a B in the class. Take this professor...:)
Economics is hard so unless you REALLY know it I don't recommend him. I tried really hard in the class and got a D! He dpes give answers to assignments but don't be fooled because those assignment questions are not on the test. You HAVE TO STUDY HARD!!! unless you nedd economics period DON'T TAKE IT!!!
He gives great notes and is very thorough, but man the tests are hard. I bombed 2 tests and the final, but with his grading scale I still pulled off a C. Attendance is not mandatory, but GO TO CLASS or you cold be SOL
Really pay attention in his class and take good notes, study the notes and the homework assignments, do the extra credit and study hard on the tests. He drops the lowest test score and make your final count for it, the class isnt to hard like others are saying, i got an A, you just gotta study and try to understand concepts.
Does the best he can to make the information clear. It's a hard subject but he does well at making it understandable. MUST go to class and take very good notes or you'll be lost. Pay attention and take the assignments as a blessing as easy points. Gives u the answers after class
One of the best professors you can take! Notes are extremely helpful. GO TO CLASS or you will get lost! Biweekly assignments, but he gives you answers in class and it really does help your grade. Its a really hard subject, but I cant imagine passing this course with any other teacher besides Wolpert. Absolutely take him with out any hesitation!
Best professor at UCF! Notes are very clear and easy to use for studying. Grade is 3 tests and 1 final along with assignments, but he gives you the answers in class. GO TO CLASS OR YOU WILL FAIL! If you have to take Eco, take him!!!! Its a hard subject and I couldnt imagine taking this class with any other professor!
Hard class, nice professor. he's very clear with his notes and they help you tremendously on the tests. Just be sure to attend EVERY lecture, take diligent notes, and complete all the assigments on time. Overall good professor, I would recommend him.
It's a great night class, only keeps you for about 2 hours with a break in between. Speaks with clarity and shows the concepts as best he can. He gives you the assignment answers which help, but do well on the tests! there's only 3 and then a final. If you follow the lectures, you don't need the book. I really liked this class, great prof.
MACRO- Best professor I have ever had, great speaker and uses examples you can remember. No need for the book if you go to class and take good notes.
Don't know HOW i passed this class.. I only passed one test..did all the assignments..and somehow i passed with a C! His clas is hard though, I was lucky to get a C...I barely studied..but you might not have the same luck?
Best professor ever. Always gets us out about 8, (6-9 class). He gives great, comprehensive notes, you don't need the book at all. His tests are decent, he's very fair, and always open for help. He gives bi-weekly assignments online that he GIVES THE ANSWERS TO. You learn a lot, and the workload is terrific. Definitely take him for macro!
Awesome professor. If you are reading this, don't even consider taking any other Economics class. There is no need for the book because he gives such great notes. He gives relevant examples to help you remember the topics. He is a great professor and a great guy. Go to class and study an hour or two before the exam and get a solid B at worst.
Good teaching style, easy extra points, drops lowest grade,BUT: hard tests,no office hours, slow to respond to e-mails (only way to reach him),and his syllabus instructions are etched in stone.No exceptions no matter what.I prefer teachers that have some flexibility and try to err in favor of their students, instead of against them.
Probably one of the best professors at UCF. He takes a dull subject like Macroeconomics and actually makes it interesting, providing awesome examples throughout the class. If you have to take an economics class, definitely take Wolpert.
I HIGHLY recommend Prof Wolpert if you are taking micro. Economics isn't the easiest subject to grasp, but his lectures are interesting and easy to follow. If you go to all of his classes and take good notes you will learn a lot. Tests are fairly easy and he gives the answers to the homework assignments. Easy A if you pay attention!
GREAT Teacher! Go to class because his teaching style was good enough to help me actually understand the hard topics. He gives hw answers in class and even though its a hard subject, makes it easy. Don't waste your money on the book because he not only explains everything perfectly but gives great funny examples you wouldn't find in a textbook.
All the good reports about this teacher on this site are true! I would not have gotten an A in macroeconomics had it not been for this teacher! He makes a boring and tricky subject extremely interesting in his lectures, and gives you the answers to the weekly assignments explicitly at the end of lecture. The tests are difficult, but doable!
Macroeconomics. Definitely take his class if you need this for a GenEd. He is to the point and very understanding, does not ramble on about every topic. Only challenge were the tests, and they were not that bad if you study. Study with the book. He gives answers to the assignments, it can't be easier.
HE'S SO HOT!
He's very clear with his lectures and really easy to pay attention too..hot.
Take his class. He doesn't take everything seriously like other profs. and even points you in the right direction for the exams by sharing his mnemonic devices and tricks to memorize important concepts. You have to go to class to take good notes but if you do and you study them you'll do fine
Never got the text. Got an A. If you got the basic concepts in Microecon, you'll be fine w Macroecon. He's really helpful and funny. Great guy. Great professor. Fair amount of studying. Gives answers to hw quizzes. Does a review for all tests. He has a fit when people leave early or talk loudly. It IS really rude so I dont blame him.
Take his night class, lets u out within 2 hours. DEF a hottie. 3 exams plus final and they're in the testing lab which sucks. Whatever u do, attend his lectures unless u can teach urself macro. He explains concepts well and this the course material is hard if ur not into eco. Study hard for exam 1 cause u have the best chance at getting an A on it
Three tests, and a final. Nine or so HW's (he gives you the answers): the last hw is extra credit if you've aced every other one. No textbook. GO TO CLASS. Use his notes and you'll do well, specially if you took AP Macroeconomics or took ENC 2023 (Microeconomics). Can easily get a B, study and you can get an A. He's funny, charming, and really hot.
Awesome teacher!
Great Pfoof, made macro understandable. Class itself is a challenge but he makes it as easy as it is going to be.there are 4 test you take in the testing center. Dont really need the textbook his notes cover everything. Would deff take his class again!
You can basically study the day before the exam and pass it. Do the quizs they help your grade. Nice funny dude. Take good notes. Don't miss a class bc he doesn't post his notes online.
im not going to lie... its a HARD class but he makes it so much better! I sat in on Euzent's class and it was completely horrible. He makes the material understandable by relating it to our lives. You NEED to go to class or you wont understand anything. I know its a bad time but SO worth it. he looks like hes a guy from Law & Order!
if you take macroecon at ucf you have to take it with Dr. Wolpert. hes the best. he simplifies macro and actually makes a lot more interesting than it is. we never go for the full 2 hrs and 50 mins. normally its about 2 hrs and 15 mins, sometimes less with a 15 minute break half way through. Dr. Wolpert is a must take for macro!
Edward Wolpert is a very easy going Professor. He explains the material very well. I bought the book, went to class every time,did all his homework and I ended up with a B. If it was not for the homework as extra credit I would have ended up with a low C or maybe even a high D. He is also very helpful with stuff that you don't understand.
This class is easy if you attend class and take good notes. You don't have to buy the book. There's 4 exams, he drops the lowest exam grade. There's 6 homework assignment, he give the answers at the ending of the class. i did bad on all three exams and still pass the class with a C.
This class is hard just bc of the subject, so do urself a favor & take this prof. I did horrible every single exam, but he designs the assignments to help ur grade. I would buy the book it helps, especially if u miss a lecture. Final exam is cumulative. Wolpert lets u out within 2 hours and he is not bad to look at either.
I didn't buy the textbook, I just went to class, took really good notes, studied all my notes before the test, and passed the class with an A. On a side note, you may end up needing to buy the textbook or getting help if you're not so good at math. But if you are good at math, then don't buy the textbook for him, just go to class and you'll be fine
If you go to class, take good notes, and study them efficiently, you will get an A. He gave some hw assignments that were reviewed in class. You got grades for them and got some EC if you did all of them. The exams are reflective of the hw. I didn't use the book at all because his lectures were good enough.
He is very good looking. But hard to do well.
very easy class.
Class was okay. Would have liked some more structure.
Dr. Wolpert is a great teacher and keeps things straight forward. 6 assignments he give you the answers and if you do all 6 you get EC. 3 tests and final exam. If you study you will pass. I would definitely take him again.
The guy is entertaining, easy-going, and very knowledgeable. A lot can be learned in this class and it's not hard to get an A or B. If you have the chance, take his class.
Really enjoyed this class. Don't let the time (6-8:50) scare you, because the class flies by and we never stayed later than 8:20. Prof. Wolpert makes the material very clear and keeps Macro as entertaining as it can be. Practice assignments help for tests and if you go to class and study some it's a very easy class. Didn't touch the book.
A really great professor. Succinctly summarizes the chapters into easy to digest lectures. He's also a fun and easy going guy too which helps keep the lectures captivating especially when it is dry material. Gives you the answers to the hw assignments and they are a good tool to study for the exams which you have a week window to take. I recommend!
Go to class!! great teacher, crystal clear, as far as explaining things, no office hours, tests suckk, he's willing to help. Its not impossible to pass, but if macro isnt your thing, you're gonna have to study your ass off. 6 assignments, which he gives the answers to plus 1 extra credit assignment. not bad, but not easy.
Dr. Wolpert is a really great teacher. Macroeconomics is not a fun subject, but he does his best in making it interesting. His tests aren't easy, but there are assignments that he gives the answers to that provide a bit of cushion if you don't do well on a test. I would recommend him!
Take him if you can. No better or easier macro teacher out there. You will save yourself hours of study if you just go to class...although I only went to two classes and got an A in the course, but I studied a lot on my own. He designs the grading to maximize the chances of you doing well, so if you don't do well it's because you're just lazy! :P
Very nice professor and made Macro as simple as possible. Tests were tricky but not too hard but you have to take good notes and study them to do well. Homework answers were given in class which was like an 18% curve to the overall grade so it does help. Textbook is a good idea. Easy to earn a B but it does take some work to earn an A. Recommended!
This class isnt the easiest. He does his best to make sure everyone does well. I got a B+. At the end of every class he gives you the answers to homework. Go to class and study and you should get a B easily. The book isnt required but does help you study. Hes nice and funny and will help you with whatever you need. Take him!
Great teacher, funny, uses good examples. Really helpful. Talked with him after class for a while about some related material and his explanations were very compelling and helpful. I wish he taught everything.
