Guy knows his stuff,& makes class interesting &fun. You'll have to take REALLY good notes cause he don't use the book(don't buy it),but he writes every word on the board. Tests are essay style questions,& must regurgitate your notes exactly word for word.

I agree with the last comment.
Thanks Professor Ghebrat. Without your help about the goods and services of the ecocnomy, i think i will truly be lost. Plus thanks for looking out for the students. You are one individual that knows how this school tries to rip pff the students. Thanks 4 Everything. TA
He claims he's the sexiest man alive lol. He's very funny and you must take good notes or else you won't even get a B on the exam. cheating is allowed but just don't get caught.
Boring and unfair in exam. Professor wants students to memorize word for word of his lecture. If you miss a word, points are deducted. That's stupid because memorizing is not learning. I forgot everything I had to remember for midterm/finals two years ago. Horrible.
if you are settle for a B take him....he doesnt give A's...he is easy...an easy B
Keep up the good work!
really nice professor. don't take attendance. no matter wat he will give u atleast c. really cool.just take his note. thats all.
unfair in the exam. took during summer session- only gives one chance and thats it!
take very good notes, he echoes during his lecture so there should be no problem. there was no midterm and only a final bluebook exam. exam essay questions are based on classroom lecture notes-ask questions and participate because he wants that. sit in the front and make sure he knows your name. do not buy the textbook because you will not use it.
just show up to class and take notes. you do not need to purchase the textbook because you won't use it!
*He smells, very boring and repeats himself too many times. You would think you were in a remedial course. It is true, do not buy the book, show up to class and take notes and your A is guareented. If you have patience for the bs and cheesy jokes you'll do well
type of teacher that want you to jot down everything he says on your notebook.. the thing is everything he says IS ON THE EXAM.. memorize the material and if your ok with a C.. then you good cause everyone in my class jus' seemed to get that grade.
He spits when he talks...and I got stuck in the front row...
If you can understand what he is saying then that is a plus. Make sure you don't sit in the front b/c you will notice that he spits constantly while talking. Everyone I talked to got a C for the class. Whatever you do don't take this course in the summer b/c he does not give breaks and we were sitting in the Grossnickle for 2 1/2- 3 1/2 hours sweating like pigs.
He is cool prof. He doesn't care if you go to his class or not but make sure you show up for midterm and final.
Took this class over the summer. Really nice guy. He is not out to fail anyone. Just take good notes.You will have no problems passing. If you have a problem speak to him and he will try to help you.
Just take good notes it's every easy to cheat in his class but in the exam u have to write word to word what he says. Be a fast writter. Don't sit in the front. I passed it with an A-. He is very boring....
One of the best professors i ever had. truly a nice guy. still to this day when i see him he goes out of the way to say hello to me. got a b in both classes and bearly even studied.
Just take good notes, if you are not a good note taker find a friend who is. His exams are right from your notes, and he wants it word for word from his notes. You do not need a book for this class. If you took good notes and studied them it will be easy for the exam. Accent but you can understand him. Hint: exam sit at the back so you can cheat.
He knows economics inside and out. Teaches straight from knowledge. His way of teaching is much more informative and understanding then purchasing another over priced book. PLEASE, a word of warning TAKE EXCELLENT NOTES.... Other than that great professor and class.
this is a great professor i took him over the summer and he is very nice. He makes learning seem fun, and i learned a lot from him i would take him again for another class. One of the nice professors here in njcu.
He is a very good teacher and helped me really understand ecomimics
This is a class that allows the student to take full grasp of the subject matter at hand, and not just teaching you everything by and in the book. Prof. made sure that concept is understood by everyone. Though his method is uncommon, it worked pretty well.
The most precious professor NJCU has. He doesnt leave to desire. He's a real human being. Fair, Easy to understand, Considerate, Knowledgable. Take him!!!!
He is God himself, just like his name! I loved the class. Noone knows Economics like he does.
02/11/06. Simply the Best with a strong source of Genius Power, coupled with the Professional characteristics to enlighten the not so bright student, in addition to the over-achiever. I love this Professor because he really cares and he is always there willing to help students. Thank you God for your servant. You won't regret his lessons.
he is a very smart person..he really knows his subject and gives you very clear notes...even tells u what notes to write and will repeat and answer questions...if you wanna learn take his class and be amazed at his teaching technique...loved him...he is to cute
keep far far away from this guy. he does not teach from the book but rather uses his notes from 1963 to teach. good luck figuring out what ur grade is gunna be b/c all u have is the midterm and final to go by. my advice is to take econmics class online...it is far too boring to sit through class after class.
Prof. Ghebrat is very intelligent, he is one of the best professor at njcu. and he really knows what he is talking about.he is very clear in giving notes and what's gonna be on the test.He will repeat and re-explain until everything is well understood.i strongly suggest him. Make sure u show up to class and take good notes and u'll pass easily.
One of the best proffesor I've ever taken because he is a very intelligent and helpful professor. He explains everything clearly so you are able to get a good grade on his test, as long as you take very good notes and attend class. When you leave the class you are guaranteed to leave with knowlege about the Micro Econmics
I strongly reccomend this professor!! He is very clear,and patient in explainig the material needed to be learned, he is willing to help you learn & understand. Just do what he say's, "you meet him half way and he will take care of the rest." Make sure to take really good notes! you do all this and there is no way you won't pass his class!!!!
omg..he's is a good teacher..but...he gives alot of notes..and for his final..out of all the notes he only gives 3 questions...i hated his class..hes a good teacher but i hate that class.DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS or u will SUFFER
Spring 06. Brillant Professor with Diversified Teaching Methods and I Absolutely loved his class. He provides every opportunity for you to catch-on and I believe that Harvard University has groomed his teaching ability because he is just that good! I have studied Harvard.
Like one of the other comments say anybody is better than taking Steinberg and this professor clearly illustrates economics in a more understandalbe way. There is alot of notes but its well worth it because you learn and get ur money worth. Highly Recommended to take over Steinberg.
he is one of the horrible economics professor. I didn't like his class. i think he should retire. He really doesn't give that much help to students. ONLY 2 EXAMS. IF U FAIL ONE HOW U WILL PASS THE SECOND ONE. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS OR ELSE YOU WILL SUFFER AND DO EXTRA EXTRA HARD WORK. i don't know y everybody say oh he is nice. i hated dat profes.
Great pedagogy, great teaching methods, he makes sure you understand the material and is an overall nice guy
An outstanding Professor, because it does not get any better than he. It is easy to understand because he will repeat so that you get the idea. Help? He gives plenty in class. This Prof. made learning enjoyable, as learning comes with ease per his skill at education. I am motivated and ready for Grad. School because of him.
Dr. Ghebrat's class is the best class that i have taken this semester. I am truly going to miss his class. The way he taught all of the students in my economics class was amazing. I wish that he was one of my professors for next semester. I have gained a lot of knowledge from this class. Thank Dr. Ghebrat. Crystal Mason
overall, he is a good professor. He gives u plenty of notes but u have to memorize all of them in order to get a good grade on his exams. He gave everybody a chance to get an A. I really like his class. you have to work hard that's all. i think u have to work hard for every class if u want to get an A.
I have had this professor for a few classes and i think he is great. He gives a lot fo notes, but always repeats to make sure everyone has all the notes written down. As long as you take good notes you will do just fine in his class. He is a very intelligent guy and probably one of the smartest people i know. You should definitely take his class!
You will hardly find a professor like Professor Ghebrat. His method of teaching gives all students the opportunity to get a grade A in class. Just take good notes, understand the material and you will leave his classroom knowing a whole lot, more than when you entered!
very good
shoot, anybody is better than STIENBERG. but for real. he is a wonderful professor. actually wants to see all of his students to succeed and pass the course. although, he gives tons and tons of notes. he doesnt take attendence either. he teaches the same thing over and over each year. u can basically just gets notes from last semester. ENJOY!
Good teacher. However teaches students as though they were still in high school with the hold-you-by-the-hand method. That means everything on the test has to be word for word. Not difficult, just plenty to remember.
Ghebret was my favorite professor. He gives plenty of notes that you must memorize but it is comprehensible. If you are lazy and don't want to work hard than I suggest you not take him.
He is not there to Crucify anybody, beleve me. very good teacher gives notes everyday but not alot and very easy.
I don't know y everybody say this professor is easy. in his exams u can't write anything in ur own words. this professor is horrible, avoid him at any cost. i think steinberg is better than him. he teaches the same thing every year, so then wat's the difference between micro and macro economics. also, when u ask him questions he really gets mad.
Learn nothing about economics. No attendance, But if you miss class you will miss notes. Repeats himself every class and goes over the same thing all the time. Exams are straight from his notes. And your grade counts from 2 things, a midterm(40%) and a final(60%). Oh and his notes are all graphs. Everything on the Exams are too. DON'T BUY TEXTBOOK
Dr.Ghebrat is simply the best Economics professor in the university. I love the way he teaches.He really cares about his students and he wants everyone to get an A in the class.He makes economics interesting.He really teaches stuff and makes sure that everyone understands.It was a pleasure to listen to him lecture. Thanks Dr.Ghebrat i appreciate it
this professor is pretty easy... you have to come to class becasue if you dont you will miss out on alot of notes, trust me, he repeats himself and wants every student to pass the curse. It gets boring at time, but just pay attention, 2 tests, midterm gives a clue on whats goin to be on it, but for final just study. I got an A
This guy needs to retire already! Attendance is mandatory for his notes. You just want to choke yourself bc he's so incredibly boring. A lot of people say he's cool and stuff, but...no, lol. I would rather take Vohra than him. BELIEVE ME.
Professor Ghebrat is commited to the welfare of his students. At the beginning of each class he reviews what was taught previously and makes sure no student is left behind. Attending class is extremely important if you wish to earn an A, however. He is a genius in his field and must-take for anyone considering a career in economics. -- A+
Great Guy, Horrible professor, took the entire semester to cover one chapter, took an entire class to show how to make graphs, doesn't follow the book or the syllabus. Teaches like we are in pre-K learned absolutely anything. Takes points off if you don't oversimplify concepts in exams. Stay away from him if you actually want to learn something!
He is a nice funny guy. Do not buy textbook it is not use in his class. You must take a lot of notes which are very important for the two exams. Your grades depend on those two examples and they can be very hard because you have to study a lot of pages. Attendance not mandatory but if you miss class you will miss notes. If you take him just study.
How to get an A in Dr. Ghebrat's class: Commit yourself to show up to every class, take good notes, REVIEW notes outside of class, dont understand last class' notes? Ask him questions as he begins class w. last class' notes anyway. Consistent exposure to notes is key! He wants u to do well. I got an A and I'm no genius. Why can't you?
It is just 2 weeks left of school and we just started on chapter 3. I have no idea if the class even finished chapter 3 in last class cuz I was so suicidally bored in his class I couldnt take it no more and walked out. He's a good teacher. U have to get into many details in his exams but I was so bored and uncomfortable in his class I coudnt bare!!
good teacher must take a lot of notes and study them in good detail, 2 tests all year if u study u can get an A
1st of all, DON'T buy a textbook.His exams (which are only 2 [midterm and final]) are from "his notes."On the exams, there was only 2 questions (on the final, 3) & it made it hard to fail.He's horrible & embarrassed students.DROP him if your enrolled, or withdraw if its too late.My GPA dropped thanks to him & I swear Im an A+ student.Stay far away
A great professor that really knows his subject and he is actually very nice and down to earth. He knows how to teach...NJCU should have more professors like him. If you attend every class and take good notes, you will pass the class and get an easy A. His midterm and final are right off your weekly notes. No need to buy the book.
Dr. Ghebrat is a helpful professor. He is very easy. You don't have to buy the book. Just come to every class, listen to him, take notes, and answer the questions in the way he wants, and you will get a good grade. He is a friend to all students.
One of the best professors, I really loved his class. I think that NJCU should have more professors like him. He really cares and always there to help if you have any question or concern. On top of that, he is a genius professor. I really loved his class!!!
Doctor Ghebrat is a very intelligent professor. I really advice if you want to learn about Economics sit down in his class and he will explain every detail required for micro and macro. he is really a genius and always helps his students where he is really a student friendly professor. just takedwn notes and pay attention in class and you will pass
AMAZING PROFESSOR..AMAZING PERSON AND AMAZING FRIEND AS WELL..:) VERY HELPFUL AND LIKE HE ALWAYS SAY, "I'M A STUDENT-FRIENDLY PROFESSOR" LOL..YOU REALLY DONT NEED THE BOOK.. :)
Dr. Ghebrat is a fantastic professor. His detail-oriented method of teaching enables students to successfully and thoroughly understand the discussed material. He is helpful, clear, and gives students every opportunity to do well. To do well:1) Attend EVERY class. 2) Pay close attention. 3) Take down VERY CLEAR notes. I highly recommend taking him.
He's a good professor but I didnt learn anythinggg about economics in this class. He is the best professor at NJCU to take for economics tho but I have to say the economics department is horrible!
Dr. Ghebrat is the best professor at NJCU. He makes sure that you have a perfect understanding of the material covered in his lectures. You must do 3 things in this class to earn an A. Attend class. Pay attention. Take great notes and have a perfect understanding of the notes. If you do these three things you will earn an A most definitely.Take him
Dr. Ghebrat is the best professor at NJCU. You can earn an A as long as you attend class and pay attention and take great notes and have a perfect understanding of the notes. I've learned a great deal in this class. I would take this professor for every class if i could. Take him!!
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. NO TEXT BOOK NEEDED FOR THIS CLASS, BUT U HAVE TO TAKE GOOD NOTES. EASY ON GRADES. TAKE HIM..:)
As long as you always come to class and take excellent notes you'll do fine he his class. Everything he teaches is from his personal notes so you don't need a textbook.
I learnt very little from this class, only touches four chapters out of the whole syllabus, short tempered and loses it when we ask him questions or make a small mistake. Two exams, they are two essays. His questioning style is complex. He dictates notes. Don't buy the book.
Best Professor at NJCU. TAKE HIM Very Understanding and Patient. Will Work with you if need be. Very Nice, exams are not hard, just require articulation. Makes subject easy with tons of examples. I would def take him again. I got a B on his last class.
BEST PROF Ever. Take Him and you Will Never Regret it. Anyone that says otherwise should def reconsider. very understanding and helpful. He is very thorough and fair.
Take him if you are looking to give your GPA a boost. That's about the only good thing I can say about this class. You learn very little and if you are pursuing a career in economics, STAY AWAY. The material learned in this class WILL NOT help you in graduate school.
this was the best experience for me this semester. he is very helpful and makes everything very easy. you have to study for the midterm and final and if you don't you will end up getting a D. he doesn't really fail anyone unless you put in 0 effort in his class. there is no hw or test. just one final and midterm. MANY NOTES. Best Prof Ever!
He is a fair grader! We did not use a book at all everything was straight from his notes. There are Lots of notes! No papers or homework just a midterm & final. Definitely have to study your notes for those. As long as youre trying he will pass you! BTW if you fool around in class he has no problem calling you out& putting people on the spot.
The best professor I've taken so far. I took him for both Macro and Microeconomics. He is a fair professor as long as you attend class, take notes and study. The exams can be hard if you do not take accurate notes. Overall, Professor Ghebrat is an excellent instructor.
Best Professor I ever had
great professor, I've taken
Great class! Take all your notes and you will be fine. He counts attendance as a major part of the grade, so please assist every class as it is also really helpful in course content. Easy-going and friendly professor, has a sense of humor. All you take is a mid-term, and final. No homework, no quizzes, no presentations. Definitely recommend it :)
He is very good when it comes to teaching, and finals are easy to pass when you pay attention to him
Hands down the best professor i had in my 4 years.
