Don't you dare take this man. An easy A at the cost of paying $6000 (or the opportunity to take a class on scholarship) and being treated like a 7th grader on a good day. Clearly doesn't prepare and is not ready for any questions. Beware.

Quizzes and tests are online, and he looks out for his students by letting us take the quizzes as many times as we want.

Professor Geroges is a pretty good professor for entry level economics. His lectures are a little monotonous but he will cover everything that you are tested in his lectures. He wants everyone to succeed and is very understanding and will give you a few days to complete online tests, will drop your lowest grade, and will go over quizzes in class.

I went to one class this entire semester and I still have a good grade! He is an amazing teacher who zooms all his classes. He sends out announcements at the end of each week when there's something important happening. The class does take some memorization, but compared to everything else it's easiest class. Plus he drops the lowest grade!

We need to protect this man at all costs. He is wholesome but his lectures are very long and not engaging at all. Tests are conveniently online, therefore, making attendance optional for the most part (though I don't know why you wouldn't want to see him every day <3). Prof is clearly very knowledgeable but it's hard to retain information from him.

such a chill class, very easy to get an A if you put in work. Alot of homework, but you can repeat until you are satisfied with the grade. Would definitely recommend! only 4 tests.

Nice guy and the class itself isn't too hard, his scheduling is crammed and makes the class more annoying and adds unnecessary difficulty. For example: most exams are two parts in person and take home, but he would frequently have a homework due Mon, an exam on Wed/Thur, another hw due Fri, and then the take home due Sunday.

Frank is literally the goat. Such a chill and easy class. Highly recommend. Very easy A. It is easy not to listen to him during his lectures tho as they are a bit boring.

Professor Georges really cares about his students and wants the best for them. He was always available outside of class for help and he was very lenient with deadlines. Bless this man, I really learned a lot about Economics from him and although I rarely went to class as long as you keep up with the textbook and homework, it should be easy!

An amazing professor. You never have to come to class for lectures, but the exams are always in class with a shorter take-home portion. Once a week we are assigned a lot of homework with a lot of questions, many multi-part. It is still manageable, just start early and do a few problems a day. The class is pretty easy, I would recommend.

I was in a class with 200+ students so I would recommend going to office hours if you need assistance. My TA with recitation did not know a lot and did not help me once so I attended office hours and Professor Georges assisted very well. I would take him again however the lectures are boring because he just reads right off the slides.

Very nice and caring professor. Attendance is not mandatory and he records the lectures live on Zoom and puts the recordings on Canvas, so the class can basically be taken without ever stepping foot into a lecture. However, tests are in-person so make sure you go to those

His lectures are optional and his zooms every lecture, but I tried attending most of his lectures. He tries to make lectures fun by adding jokes but it is still pretty dry. But I feel like he explains the concept well. He gives a lot of homework assignments. His tests are like the HW but harder.
