He's frustrating, has no idea what he's teaching, can't clearly expalin anything. Nice, but I haven't learned one thing I read the book during class. Extra credit saved me from failing. Gives 6 or 7 question quizzes every week. If you get one question wrong, you automatically get around an 84. He's useless,I taught myself this course, he did not.

He is a really great teacher, his classes are somewhat boring, but he tries really hard to get all his students to do well, various extra credit opportunities and will ad up to 5 points on your final grade for going to class and doing the extra credit. He basically gives you the answers to the test and quizzes in his study guides from WEBCT

I feel like he's a great teacher. Although his class is boring, ATTENDANCE is MANDATORY. He gives you extra credit to go towards your test grade or HW grade. He also drops the 2 lowest quiz grades, which is to an advantage to you. He adds 5 points towards you final grade for perfect attendance or if you miss 1!

Professor Dupuis is a nice guy. You can easily get a good grade if you go to class and take notes.

His class is pretty easy (lots of extra credit), but he's an awkward guy- often can't form a sentence and creates incomprehensible examples for pretty easy topics. If you're looking to get a good grade for an elective, read the book and you'll get an easy A. If you actually want to learn economics, I suggest taking it from another teacher.

Professor Dupuis, is great and in my opinion the easiest economics professor. I had him for both ECN 201 and 202. Class lectures, the text book, and online material are super easy to follow.

He really cares about students passing, and I'm sure he would be a great community college teacher, but he really isn't very good if you actually want to learn about the subject. If you are looking to take economics just for an easy A, take it with him, but if you actually want to learn, I would suggest you take it with a different professor.

Dr. D is hands down one of nicest and easiest teachers/graders in the college of business. I have taken ECN 201 and 202 with him and left both with A's. He does stumble on his words a lot which is why I rely on the text (which is also elementary level) but, like said previously, he gives a lot of extra credit and wants you to pass.

Very easy course. However, if you desire to actually learn economics in any capacity that would allow you to apply it, take this course with a different professor (esp. Mead). Barely competent. Not recommended. Good reviews for this professor are likely from students who do not understand what standards a college professor should be judged upon.

He truly wants his students to do well but boy, can he drive you nuts. His lectures would benefit from power points and his writing is chicken scratch that can't be discerned even from the front row.

Professor Dupuis... you were such a great guy with a kind heart, but the lectures were so miserable. He spent every single class (not an exaggeration) spending over 25 minutes repeating himself. It seems like it is tough for him to even get a sentence out, and he thinks he is doing you a favor by constantly repeating what is due in the coming weeks

He was such a great guy with a kind heart, who genuinely cares but the lectures were very repetitive. He spent every single class repeating himself, yet he made sure you knew what was due in the next coming weeks. Everything is online and he does have group projects/ assignments. Also a lot of essays. Easy class tbh but he teed on work sometimes.

Lectures were very repetitive but he really cares about his students and their learning. The homework can be a lot of writing but it's easy. Drops the lowest quiz and homework grades and offers extra credit for exams. Everything's also online. Just do all the work and take notes and you can get an A.

If you actually want to learn the material you will be able to in this class. Professor Dupuis is a nice guy and does a good job of teaching economics. That said, he puts no barriers in place to prevent cheating on any of the exams which means most kids don't end up learning the material.

Professor Dupuis is a super nice guy, but lectures were extremely boring and repetitive. He uploads plenty of practice material. He assigns a lot of work, but it's not difficult. Overall, he really cares about his students and gives lots of encouragement.

professor dupuis was my favorite professor freshman year. he cares so much about his students and he wants nothing but success for his students. he gives tons of extra credit opportunities for quizzes/exams and makes sure his lectures are clear and understandable for his students. if you're taking econ201 or econ202, do it with professor dupuis.

Man can't lecture without repeating examples several times over, and stumbling over his words. Makes the (mandatory) classes so hard to sit through. That and his awful handwriting mean you are probably best off learning the content on your own. The content is easy and he's an easy grader, but his lecturing abilities are shockingly terrible.

If you don't need to learn economics and only need the credit, take him. He is a super easy grader, and all his exams are online. If you actually want to learn, maybe don't take him since whenever I was listening to what he said, he was basically just saying nonsense strung together. As long as you showed up every class he was appreciative.

His lectures were mandatory and somewhat hard to sit through since he was very repetitive and often disorganized. There were weekly quizzes every Friday, but they were all online and the 2 lowest grades get dropped. There were a few homework assignments but not too many, and they weren't super hard.

I enjoyed the class. He drops the 2 lowest quizzes, lowest group assignment, lowest thought question, and lowest inquisitive grade. He was really strict about excuses for missing class. I had a mandatory doctor's appointment and gave him a note, but said he couldn't excuse it since it wasn't a sick visit. He also does cold call on students a lot.

Ernest Dupuis III is my goat! He drops lowest of everything and he always asks about your day. His lectures can be boring but his class is extremely easy to pass. He also provides very detailed and nice feedback on your assignments. Live Laugh Love Dupuis

Doesn't get better than him. You can tell he loves his job and loves to work with his students, something so rare. He is a tough grader with homework but after the first one you will be able to tell exactly what he is looking for because he gives very detailed feedback so you will be fine. Awesome class and professor, definitely recommend.

He's a nice person but his lectures are super confusing and don't explain well at all. I also had an issue with a project that wasn't my fault and he was very unhelpful with remedying the issue, basically said it was my fault when the situation was out of my control. Like I said, he's nice and everything but difficult to get help from him.

Professor Dupuis (Du-pri), cares a lot about his students. He will always ask about your day and doesn't forget names. He can sound passive aggressive but that is just the way he talks. Long Deadlines gives you plenty of time to do work. Weekly quizzes which can be confusing. Drops a LOT of low grades. Lots of group assignments.

I just had him recently for ECN 201 and genuinely such a great professor. He is not necessarily a harsh grader but when you do something wrong he does tell you why you got it wrong and the right answer so you know for future sake. Does give extra credit for every exam which is great, and also has review sessions before every exam which does help.
