Outstanding professor. Took Wong first time didn't learn a thing. Took Mummery learned something. Mummery actually teaches which is something wong can't do. Test expectations match his lectures, so just pay attention. Awesome professor wish more were like mummery.
One of my favorite professors! Great TEACHER! He actually teaches you and it sticks long enough when you need it for the quiz because he relates it to the real world to make sure that you understand the concepts. Just study what he goes over class! There are no curve balls =) You can tell he loves to teach
I took him at Fullerton College and specifically took 315 because he teaches it. He's the best prof I've had at either school. He really wants his students to succeed and is EXCELLENT at making that happen. As long as you attend class, take notes, and get help if you need it, it should be a breeze (even for such a difficult subject).
Great Professor. It's hard not to get an A with a little effort... studied 15min before each class and 1hr for the final. 100% on the final... take good notes and you'll be fine if you can memorize formulas
What I expected to be a boring and impossible to pass course, turned into a very do-able class that was actually very interesting. I was left thinking, "how could anyone ever go through life without having an economist on staff?" His real world examples really drove home the ways in which economics can be used to solve business problems.
I hated econ until I met Prof. Mummery! We need more professors like him!! He makes sure you understand the concepts and calculations by going over EVERYTHING you need to know ~ AND he makes it kind of fun. :) HIGHLY recommend him!
I took his honors 202 class last semester and he was the most HELPFUL professor ever! He was so willing to help, and his lectures are so clear and interesting. If you have to take econ he's the best, he made me want to take economics again, i'm, even thinking of majoring in it!
BEST PROFESSOR out there for economics! I thought this was going to be the hardest and most boring class, but it wasn't! He simplifies everything for you. Just pay attention in class and you'll do fine.
This was a horrible class! I don't know why he has such a high rating. I went to every class, took good note, studied but didn't pass. I would take this class with another professor.
An amazing teacher that has some of the best lectures ever and has a true passion for the student.
He is awesome! I really liked his teaching. A few things that you need to do (quizzes, exams, homework etc.) but all well organized. Never had such a fun & helpful Econ class like this.
He's the best professor ever!. 4 Pop quizzes drops lowest. It's not a class where you just read and memorize everything he writes on the board. His tests and quizzes are similar. He shows you what he expects on the tests and quizzes. you will barely pass if you just memorize things. he makes you work for your grade. I'm glad i took him for econ 315
Great Professor. Take him
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
in all honesty, he is a great teacher and his teacher are clear and concise. However his quizzes, midterm, and final all together are very very tricky. At least half of the people in my class failed the same questions. I was fighting for a C but ended up with a C-. Only take him if you are actually willing to learn
Test Question are tricky, only take him if you are willing to learn. You need read the book and do the HW to pass the class.
Professor Mummery is just top-notch! His notes are to the point, but you still have to read the textbook to get the trickier details that are on the tests, quizzes, and homework. If you truly want to learn Economics I HIGHLY recommend him! You'll need to work hard, but I believe that is par-for-course when getting a university education ;).
This is an early Christmas present for some---DO NOT take him!!
Not an easy A, but a great teacher. You will learn economics with this prof. Very willing to help.
VERY difficult professor. Hard class, not easy. Almost impossible to pass because if you go over the review he gives you for the exams, the exmas end up being nothing like the review. Many people retake his class.
Excellent teacher if you want to learn. Some recent bad reviews probably from lazy people cuz about 80% of my class passed. Great examples. Very helpful. Avoid Rahmatian! I had him last semester and he is funny but you won't learn.
OK, I got a B in the course, yes i had to work at it, but all the negative reviews, are people who thought that they would just breeze through the course. I didn't even read the book. All of the info you need is in the course lecture. My only gripe is that the class was too large and limited instructor interaction. You will learn Econ in his class.
You definitely need to work in this class! 4 pop quizzes (best of 3) so always on top of it! 1 exam and a final. Some questions are slightly tricky but if you read the question slowly you will know exactly what he is asking for. I recommend him! I would definitely retake for another class. Actually sparked my interest in Economics.
Interesting prof makes an interesting class ... need to put in time but totally worth it. He gives extra credits on quizes and tests, counts the best 3 out of 4 pop quizes, midterm and final. Highly reconmend his class !!!!
Very tough class but you learn alot. He kind of forces you to learn/attend because there are pop quizes that are worth a majority of your grade and you must stay on top of the material in case one comes up. Very clever technique which forces students attend. He knows his stuff and made Econ a more enjoyable topic for me to learn
take him if you want to fail, his method of teaching is clear, however his class is too hard, no extra credit, hard quizes and hard mid-term and final. You would have to be an economist to pass this course, out of 250 students the great majority failed, and a handful passed somehow.
He is a very Smart teacher and a nice guy. Sometimes I felt like he spoke too fast to understand the new concepts. Gives good examples. Also gave a big pop quiz the day after thanksgiving break.
Very hard class! I graduated and this was the only class I ever came close to failing. Tests and pop quizes are difficult and confusing. Marks you off for very small details. Honestly I don't see how he is rated so highly. Sitting In his class, I was surrounded by people who had previously taken him and failed.
Best professor on campus, reasons posted above. I feel bad for my peers, they are so lazy. Nothing in this class is over basic math. lol. 4 quizes, 1 droped, and your allowed to miss 3 questions per quiz. If you can't pass this class its because you are very stupid. Sorry. Try liberal arts, but even then you need to open your book. :)
Reasons why Mummery is the best professor on campus: 1. Hes efficient. He gives the information you need. Its clear, and to the point. 2. His grading system is set up to pass students (basically and build in curve). 3. Hes a very good speaker.
One of the better teachers at CSUF. 4 pop quizzes 1 dropped. 2 midterms. The quizzes had 15 questions but you only had to get 12 right to get a 100%. He really presents the information so that everybody in the class understands it. With some effort this class is an easy B/A.
Best teacher I have ever had. The class is a challenge, but the teacher made it very clear. Very smart professor; knows how communicate clearly and effectively with the class. Gives 4 pop quizzes, 1 of which is dropped. Some question can be tricky, but you only need a 12/15 to get 100% on the quizzes. I highly recommend this professor to anyone!
Just took the Department Final......totally failed it!!!!! He's a great teacher and he definitely knows his stuff. HIS tests are pretty challenging, but doable. The department final is nothing like all his tests, quizes and HWs....good luck! i will definitely be there next semester.
i've taken this professor for a total of four courses. he is one of the harder teachers and he knows this, but what makes him amazing is all his stories and how they relate to his teachings. he inspired me to become an Econ Major and now i'm graduating tomorrow w/a Major in Econ and a minor in Business Admin. cant thank him enough!!
Awesome Professor. Very clear on how to do everything. U MUST go to class and take notes. About 3-4 pages of notes per 1:15-hr class. Easy to calculate your grade. 4 Pop-quizzes keep u on top of ur stuff so u do better on midterms. Drops lowest. Nice study guide for the final. 119 possible points and grades based on 100 so u have 19 extra pnts
One of the best professors you can take at CSUF for economics. The way he teaches the course is hands on with Current event examples. Mr. Mummery inspired me to change my concentration to Economics. If you need to take a Econ class try taking his class you won't regret it.
Great great teacher! He is extremely clear during his lectures and encourages ways to improve his class at all points. 4 quizzes midterm and final with 19 extra points avail. The only thing that was upsetting was that the final was nothing like any other quiz or test. other than that i would highly encourage anyone to take his class!
passed with an A with flying colors. its not that his exams are hard at all. its that he grades to where there's extra credit on every single exam or quiz. no homework is ever due, but he does assign some for our benefit. he's very clear. and don't be discouraged, his first quiz is the hardest out of everything. I SAY EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIM!
TAKE HIM! Every quiz/midterm/final has extra points. His notes are very thorough and he will really help you understand the material. No need to buy the book, he assigns a few problems but then goes over them in class. He also has a great sense of humor!
i was disappointed, he had great reviews so i took his class, but he was not my style. usually i love my econ classes, but this class was stressful. a lot of people really like him (he is passionate about econ), but he is not for everyone. i found lectures to be excessively wordy, over-complicating material. quizzes and tests were brutal.
What I learned about math classes and reviews is that you need to know if the reviewer is good at math. I'm horrible at math. I got a D in his class. I did the HW, went to every class, and went to tutoring. You get extra credit but if you don't know what you're doing, you will not pass. He's good, but you need to study.
One of the best teachers I've ever taken. Knows his stuff, passionate, good lectures. 4 quizzes, drops the lowest, 1 midterm 1 final. Gives extra credit on all exams. Show up everyday, stay caught up and with decent math skills you will get an A, I did.
He is a terrible professor, what ever these people are telling you they are trying to trick you into taking him....YOU will Fail. He is a terrible grader, unfair, and don't believe them on the helpfulness, he will bash you and make you look stupid.
Really good prof. His exams really push you. I think last person got a bad grade and was upset. I never saw this guy bash anyone. He gives lots of bonus points and you will learn. Trust me, he's better than anyone else teaching this class. I started 2x with other profs, but they weren't clear.
Dont listen to the "F" students who chit-chatted in class and played angry birds changed your mind. Take his class. The ratings don't lie!Enough extra credit to boost up a whole grade. Very helpful and listen to students in class and after. All you need is a healthy brain to pass the class. Books are optional.
He is a good instructor. I've had him before at the jc. His office hours are good and he really goes out of his way to help you. You do not need the textbook which really helps. The only issue I had was with the terminology that he used on his midterm and final exams. They were inconsistent with his lectures and took time to read through.
He is great professor I learned a lot in this class but whoever said he is hot is a total weirdo
Great Professor! I should've gotten an A on the class but I was over confident on the final and ended up getting a B, but overall the professor is awesome, makes the concepts very clear
Now I'm majoring in Economics, thanks to this great professor :). very helpful. exams are bit challenging. he will go over most of the stuff and even provides you with study guide. Generous with extra credit. But do go to class every day and take good notes!. that will help you a lot. 4 pop quizzes. make sure you study your notes before class. :)
Excellent teacher! Extremely clear and organized. The subject was hard, don't take as a GE unless you are business major and have to. A is possible if you study hard before the midterm and final. Gives a lot of extra points on tests and quizzes. A little strict in class, no talking or phone use. But overall just a very smart and helpful professor.
Mummery is a great teacher. Well organized lectures and notes. Keep ahead of class by doing homework and reading before class. He is strict about cell phones or talking, but it really helps to minimize distractions. Definitely recommended.
The class was pretty hard. I barely passed the class. It's critical to attend class everyday and to pay attention. Take very good notes. Mummery is willing to help those who are struggling, and he is always approachable during his office hours.If you study, ready, and do extra credit, then you'll pass the class.
Go to every class and write down every thing because exams and quizzes are directly from lecture. He also applies material to real world problems to make sense of subject. He is one of my favorite professors because he is organized and passionate about teaching (rare these days).
Best econ teacher I've ever taken. His lectures are clear and straight-forward. He is passionate about econ, knows what he's talking about, and easily translates his knowledge to the class. He gives pop quizzes, so don't miss class. 4 quizzes and 3 tests, including the final. Pay attn and study, and you'll do fine.
Great Professor!!! He's passionate about Econ and explains it very clearly. I highly recommend!!!
Recommended! Just go to class every time to take notes and hear him lecture (and for popquizzes). Lecture tends to be entertaining and not boring/dull. Aceable class with few hard work.
Very good prefessor. Must attend every class and WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. If you miss a class, let him know and he will make a photocopy of his notes for you.
He is a professor who is very willing to help. Show up, take notes and study and you'll get a good grade. Tests are difficult sometimes but he spoon feeds you the questions you'll see on the test and the answers are always in the notes. Ive taken him for two separate classes. Love him!!
I recommend him completely. He's an amazing teacher. He's helpful, clear, and precise. He only teaches you what he'll test you on. All of his assessments are 100% fair. Best econ teacher yet.
By far the best teacher I have ever had. His class is a great learning experience and his stories are completely relevant and entertaining. He genuinely enjoys teaching and it shows. His dedication amazes me. If anyone happens to fail this class, it is entirely of their own fault. He sets you up for A grades.
Best teacher I could ever ask for. Never have I met someone who is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a subject. He hand writes all of the notes on the board, and it comes from pure memory.If you attend class and copy down what he writes on the board,there is no excuse why you shouldn't get an A.
Best teacher, he really cares about his students and wants you to pass. There is only one midterm the final and 4 quizzes one of which he drops, he gives you all the material you need no surprises, warns you about possible tricky questions he could ask. Take him.
TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!!!!!!!! BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I usually HATE econ but he actually made me understand everything and enjoyed the topic. Just do all the essays and study his notes for the quizzes! They are all based off HIS notes, not the book. Too bad he can't teach all my classes!
The BEST professor at CSUF in the business department. You don't need the textbook, exams and quizes are off his notes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but his lectures are easy to understand and important if you want to pass. He gives an outline for each exam that tells you everything you need to know. STUDY the quizes can make or break your grade
By far one of the best professors I've ever had. He teaches everything clearly and reviews quickly for tests. Book isn't required, but you do need to buy a few things. Easy to get an A if you put forth the effort. Keeps everything relevant and gives amazing examples that will keep the concepts in your mind. Wish more teachers taught like he does.
Like everyone said, best professor at CSUF! He's very knowledgeable about econ and even if you don't like econ, he makes the class very interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but recommended because his notes are all handwritten and not available online. Highly recommended! Just pay attention and you'll do well.
Never used the book (even though I got a pdf copy from a friend). Do NOT miss class, he explains everything extremely well and is always available to help students more. 4 Pop quizzes, again just pay attention and understand material in class. 1 Midterm, 1 Final. Simple, easy B & if you work a little an A is possible. Best professor ever!
Mummery spoonfeeds you the information in building blocks, but moves at a very fast pace. 4 POP Quizzes that you will MAKE or BREAK your grade, 1 Midterm, & 1 Final. No participation, no attendance, and no hw. Overall: Good Teacher if you put in the work.
Highly recommend! He is one of the best prof. I've had here so far. Attendance is not mandatory but go to class because he will give you exactly what you need to know for his tests, and he gives 4 pop quizzes. He makes it easy to take good notes so you don't really need the text I only used it for the homework. I wish all my teachers were like him.
Very clear professor. Great examples. Four quizzes (lowest one gets dropped),2 exams. Do the homework, come to every class, take good notes, you will be fine.
He's not as great as people say he is. His lectures are annoying because he says "guys" "like" and "dude" way too much. Material is hard. Pop quizzes at 9 in the morning are a pain. 1 midterm (not too bad) but final is really hard.
Mummery is a good professor but his final is a killer. I don't think he is the "best" as what everyone says he is . I personally would recommend going with Morteza first and if he is not available then take Mummery. Easy pass for Mummery but hard for an A.
Attend every lecture or make friends who will be there every day. Attendance is not mandatory but it is critical if you want a decent grade in the class. 4 pop quizzes that will literally kill your grade if you don't do well on them so study all the material before class. The midterm was alright, but the final was a killer!!!
I don't understand why mummery has such a high rating on here because his lectures are not paced that great and he is really mechanical in the way he teaches. He gives hw problems but for no points and doesn't really go over them. I got an A on the midterm and understood the material pretty well but those quizzes were killer. avoid if you can!!
Great prof! Very clear lectures with great examples. Quizzes and exams come right from the notes and homeowrk he covers in class. Don't text in class - he will kick you out.
Awesome prof. Great examples and he can actually teach. No regrets.
Prof is totaly dedicated to students doing well. Even replied right away to my emails sent after midnite. Extremely helpful!!
This is a TOUGH class but worth it. I actual learned and retained the information in the lectures. Strongly suggest this class.
Professor Mummery is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His class is challenging, but it is so worth it. You really learn in his class and he's extremely dedicated to helping his students. Definitely recommend his class!
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR! Exams are very hard, does not help very much. 3 exams and homework points but no room to make up your grade. His terminology is hard to follow. His extremely dry and boring material. Take this class online.
Easily one of the best economics professors at CSUF. He is extremely clear on what you need to know on both tests. I personally like economics and got high 90s on both exams by studying notes. Highly recommend this professor. Show up to class, copy the notes which he hand writes in class and u will pass
Amazing prof. You will learn a lot. You will work a lot but defintely worth it. Prof give lots of bonus on homework to help out your exam grades. Highly recommend
Prof. Mummery is just about one of the best professors you can get for econ315. You just take notes, do the homework and take 3 exams including the final. The homework is also curved so you get extra points if you go above the requirement. make sure to read the book and study his notes before exams. also he has TA's that are willing to help.
Just because he is a cool guy does not mean he is easy guys. I made that mistake and I'm telling you guys. He does try to help but I heard other teachers write their exams way easier than Mummery. I would tell my classmates that I had Mummery and they all gave me that face of scare. I'm one of them now.
Lecture is very good and interesting, explains very good. Exams are not that easy but doable. Exam questions are like Homework questions. You actually learn something in his class compared to other teachers. Gives studyguide which is exactly like Exams
He had 3 exams w/ a cumulative final & homeworks (20 bonus pts. available). Take detailed notes & do the homework properly & you'll do well in the exams. He also gives a study guide that matches the exams exactly! So it's in your best interest to do it. He is a really helpful professor, I recommend him. He also has TAs that are also very helpful.
Prof. Mummery can be kind of strict at times, but overall he is a nice guy. Be prepared to take notes in this class, because he writes a lot on the board. The midterms are challenging, so memorize the formulas. Oh, and he works out practice problems that appear on the final - very helpful.
Mummery is a great professor. He teaches really clearly and assures that you understand the material. He is a really nice guy and gives you study guides and hints for his exams. You don't really use the book, but it is helpful to have one. Downfall is he has very limited office hours and you have to write pages and pages of notes.
I hate econ, but he's incredibly helpful and thorough. He listens to student feedback and adjusts his teaching style. Online hw was easier after he changed it to infinite "check my work." Exams were similar to hw, and his study guides were the best. Handwrites his notes rather than using boring PPT slides. No laptops or texting. Take his classes !
My favorite teacher in all of my college career. I was nervous going into the class but Professor Mummery was incredibly helpful and explained everything in the clearest way possible. Just go to class, take notes, and do the HW. I recommend him whenever I get the chance.
Professor Mummery is definitely one of the best professors I've had at CSUF. You definitely have to do work to get a good grade but it's definitely possible. I had a B that dropped to a C after the final but it was my own fault for not studying. Make sure you take the time to study for this class and you'll do fine.
As far as professors go, I thought he was just ok. You can tell he has a passion for the subject, but the lectures are very dry and boring, and I always dreaded going to class. The online homework helps prepare you for the tests and make sure you get 100% on the homework as those extra points can make or break your grade later.
Oh, Mummery... I do not even know where to begin... Everything about the instructor has already been said. HANDS DOWN the most passionate "TEACHer" there is. He will do the best he can to help you succeed so I think that's saying a lot. It is the effort on the student's part that will make it happen. TRY and you will do well. Little textbook use.
I LOVE THIS GUY! He does not teach for the money, SERIOUSLY, he even said that..and it is pretty obvious. He's very passionate about the subject and gives you real life examples. He is EXTREMELY HELPFUL, and I love how serious he is about his no-cellphone policy in class. THANK YOU for an amazing class. An A is super doable if you study.
BEST ECON TEACHER IN CSUF! Probably your best bet for passing the course. I hated econ and he changed my world! It was a tough class but well worth it. The test is mostly math problems and his study guide is on point! If I had to I would take him all over again! Its well worth it. He's truly passionate and there to help you 247! via email and ALL!
Almost done for the semester but I'm just gonna say he's one of the best professor I've had. You can tell he is genuinely passionate about his profession. He breaks down the material so it's easily understandable. Very helpful if you ask him questions. Exams are not difficult at all since he tells you what each test problem covers. Recommend him
Great professor as his lectures cover what's on the test. He does do sample problems that are similar to the test. Online homework with extra credit (10pts) that can boost up your grade. Will not need the book so don't bother buying it. Just get the code as his lectures cover the test.
Everyone I know loves Mummery and swears by him. The thing is that even though he is a good teacher, he's far from easy. This is not an easy A class, and econ 315 is one of the top five most failed courses at CSUF. I am a self-learner and have a 3.7 GPA, but I got a B in the class cause I missed most a lot of lectures. Don't miss class!!
Doesn't require attendance but don't expect to pass unless you attend a majority of the time. Study guides are just like the exams and he gives out the essay type exam questions prior. Homework is all online and if you complete all the homework, he gives you an additional 10 points extra credit. Worked hard and still got a C.
Beware!!! 8 pgsNotes per 1hr15m. Like speed writing. Txtbk helps,90pts Hw 10 areEC 3exams. Yes study guides but don't rely on them. I got his tutors but taught other methods to the subject so it just got more confusing from there. High C goin into final and got D by 2pts. No courtesy. Exams are insane Must know CALCULUS 2keepup TAKE SOME1 ELSE.
To be honest, I'm sure this professor is grand. However I showed up and though I had to miss a few classes because work I still was able to keep however the homework is the HARDEST THING EVER I could not understand it after going to class for so long. Also, be ready for harder tests than any other class. His lectures drag on as well.
I took Professor Mummery last semester. Lectures are long you take about 5 pages of notes everyday. However, he is probably the best professor I've taken. Class is definately not an easy a but if you work for it you can get it. Study guides are given and he will be happy to go over anything with you. Truly cares about his students, def recommend !!
I attended every class and I'd recommended you do so because the only notes that are offered are his cluttered handwritten notes that are projected onto the whiteboard. Many pointless rules on test days with which he will usually take about 5 to 10 minutes of your test time to explain. 3 tests and 10 homework assignments with unlimited tries.
One of the best Professors I have ever had! Super clear lectures, Prof. Mummery is really helpful and wants everyone to be successful, AS long as they're working for their grade. In my opinion it is very important to attend class in order to get all the notes (4 pages every class!). didn't buy the textbook. Didn't study a lot yet received an A.
GREAT PROFESSOR! One of the best professors I have had at CSUF in my 3 years of being here. He cares for his students and explains everything in detail. Go to every class, pay attention, take notes and the tests shouldn't be a problem.
One of the best professor in CSUF! I love going to his class, very inspirational. Get ready to take 4-5 pages note per class, but it will help. Very clear and willing to explain until you get it. I love how he teaches with his hand writing slides so students can keep up with the speed rather than just jumping through ppt slides.
He really listens to the students. He asked us throughout the semester what we needed more of. Since he listened I went from a F on the first test to an A on the second.
He is an amazing professor. He doesn't throw curve balls, you will know what will be on his test. But that doesn't mean studying the day of the test. He gives you about a week or more to prepare yourself take advantage. Do the homework it helps and it is easy. He does not curve and doesn't give extra credit, but it's possible to get an A and B.
This class is not easy by any means; although, mummery provides a concise and intuitive approach to a difficult subject and real-world applications. Don't take him for an easy A. Take him to challenge yourself and gain powerful knowledge. He was one of my favorite professors, because of his passion to teach and articulate the complex world of ECON
2 midterms, 1 final, and online hw. He handwrites notes so you have to copy everything. For exams, he gives you a study guide outlining every question on the exam without giving it completely away, so you're always prepared for the exam. Problem is there's a TON of things you need to know (formulas, how to solve, etc). No cheat sheet.
The most knowledgable professor to teach econ EVER!! Mummery is very professional and wants every student to pass. He provides extra credit in the homework so don't forget to finish all of them! His exams are tough but he reviews questions for clarity. He is amazing, I definitely recommend but not for an easy A .
Show up for the notes, not attendance. Notes are handwritten, no power points, so you want to come to class. The study guide he gives mirrors the test, but you have to prepare. Grades are earned. He is willing to help and truly cares about teaching. Hw is online through connect. Text not needed unless you don't come. No Titanium
Definitely take this teacher if you can. Go to class, take notes, do the homework, and it's an easy A. Be prepared to take like 5 pages of notes. The lectures are very clear and the notes will help you on the homework and tests. He gives a study guide that is exactly like the exam and also has study sessions. 10 pts extra cred available
This class is one of the hardest! prof. Mummery is nice and clear, but his tests are very tricky, even though he gives a study guide, but I do great on the free response part and I almost fail all the multiple choice & TF part. It is very confusing. This class dropped down my GPA and I regret taking it.
Professor Mummery gives amazing lectures. He goes into details and explains every single little thing you need to know. He's the most organized professor I've ever taken in CSUF. His tests are based on the notes in class, and everyday you will have at least 5 pages of notes, so if you miss a day, you're in trouble. Highly recommend!
Mummery is great at explaining the material. Exams were mostly based on notes taken in class. His class is an easy A if you attend class and TAKE NOTES. Be prepared to take a lot of notes, this is probably the most difficult part in the class, keeping up w note taking. Other than that, I highly recommend. Could've gotten an A, but bombed the final
Great speaker Takes personal interest in teaching well Clearly outlines test quiz material Give great real world examples Has funny, yet relevant, personal stories Very serious about paying attention in class DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE - OR ELSE Do not distract others (pisses him off) Very helpful to students seeking it
Mr. Mummery is not only a good prof of CSUF,but he also a LIFE SAVER. I got flat tire on the freeway ON MY FINAL DAY! Then, got to the class 40 mins late. I though he not gonna let me took the final, instead, he asked me if i am injured, then allows me took the final exam, and finish the rest during his office hour. Pass the class!! YEAH :D
Professor Mummery is super super awesome. Summer class is fast but I would say he was born to teach Econ. His lectures were so interesting and hands on example. Highly recommended . You will learn a lot from him. He inspired and wanted students succeed. The study guide was very helpful. You will get A if you learn, not too hard to get A. Thanks Pro
Lectures are too long, explain a bunch of terms and definitions, gives equations but never shows thorough enough examples. Basically makes it so you cannot do homework without going to Supplemental Instruction. Homework is on Connect, crappy software. No explanations on homework either.
Very difficult!
Gives detailed lectures with great examples. Homework requires a little effort but all the material is covered in class. Study guides for exams are really helpful and exactly match the exam - no surprises. Exams are challenging but do-able if you do the homework. Sure wish other profs cared about students like he does...
He is way too overrated on here! Class grade average for the first test was a 70%! His lectures are great and engaging, but does not match the homework he assigns which ends up becoming confusing. The software for the homework is horrible with no help features. Test are difficult but gives a decent study guide. Overall Ok professor.
Super caring instructor who actually takes the time teach. He makes sure you have every chance to get it. If you don't, it's totally on you. Good examples, homework helps a lot. Don't miss class and be ready to take alot of notes.
Amazing professor.
2 tests, 1 final. Lectures are clear and engaging although it's sometimes hard to correlate to HW. ATTEND THE STUDY SESSIONS FOR SHORT ANSWERS. ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE EXAMS!!! Overall great professor, good sense of humor, engaging. Take good notes, bring a lot of paper, or don't be afraid to use it. Notes are the key.
Professor Mummery is truly dedicated. He has been teaching at CSUF for as long as I have been alive. He was definitely born to teach. As for the difficulty level-you are supposed to be challenged. Its college. Be prepared to learn a lot.
I failed the first exam 61 out of 100 on first exam. Attend tutoring, and go to the graduates office for help, and attend the study session and by the second exam i got 91 out of 100 on second exam. Attended the study sessions and graduates office and got 107 out of 120 on final. DO ALL THE HW BC IT HELPS WITH THE EXAM AND EC.
I am not good at economics, but I ended up getting an A in the class because of all of the additional tutoring mummery offers. There is homework, but it is easy and short. He does not take attendance, but the tests only consist of the notes he gives in class. His study guides are very helpful. Take him! He is very helpful and easy to approach!
Professor Mummery is very clear and all his lectures are very interesting. He is super helpful. If your math is good, perfect, easy A or B. Attend each class since he explains everything much better than it is in the textbook. Do not but the book, read his notes over and over again and do all online homework. Great professor, definitely take.
Do all of the homework! every problem gives you a point at the end that will make or break you. Go to SI and focus on the big point questions. No cheat sheets. Work backwards on your tests. LOTS of note taking- if you miss class, get the notes. YOU NEED THEM. Do not fall behind. But seriously go to SI, and practice the problems repeatedly!!!!
His class is the ONLY class that I still sneak into whenever I am free for just listen to his lecture. LOL. Thats how good his lectures are! You have to make at least 2 friends in that class for the notes in case if you missed the class. Most important, HW(extra 10 pts helps ur grade) and SI session is the key to pass. Read textbook just for fun..
DO NOT use your cellphone during his lectures because he will kick you out of class. Other than that, he is an amazing professor! He was meant to teach Econ. His lectures are the best! Show up to supplemental instruction as much as you can! I regret not going so I got a B in the class.
Probably the best professor I've ever had.
He's clearly interested and passionate in his field so he makes the information relevant. Doesn't mean that this is an easy class (I think it's like top 3 of the most failed classes in the major?) You have to put in work to pass. Do all the homework, go to office hours/SI sessions. Take good notes so you don't have to buy the book.
This class is hard but Mummery is a good lecturer. I did not pass the class, but I felt like a learned A LOT. I am not very good at tests and his class is very test heavy. He really does care about his students. Do not be scared to talk to him. He does take cheating extremely seriously and no laptops or cellphones are allowed AT ALL in class.
Professor Mummery has been one of the best teachers I have ever taken. Very straight forward about his class and course topics. Provides real world examples and has a great sense of humor! Never touched the book, just did all the homework assignments / studied for exams. Take good notes or you won't pass! Take him for Econ 315 you won't regret it.
Francis Mummery is a very great and caring teacher. He is always there to help you out and you can ask him any questions without him making you feel dumb. He is the best teacher at teaching the subject I ever taken. The only hard thing was his tests are tricky on the multiple choices but he gives alot of credit for the word portion. I recommend
My favorite professor throughout my entire college career. I wish every professor was like him!
I respect HIGHLY recommend and respect this professor. He is a passionate economist that cares about his student's success. However, the subject matter that he teaches is the most difficult class that you will ever encounter. Do not be afraid to ask for help. He is more than willing to help you succeed.
Hardest class of my college career. Two exams 25% each. Homework 20%. Comprehensive final 30%. The lectures are fun because he tries to relate it to his real life experiences. Attendance isn't mandatory but missing class will be the worst thing anyone can do. Go to the SI sessions will also make the class a lot easier.
He is super knowledgeable in Econ and is a great lecturer. Since he does not post his lecture, you need to show up and take good notes. He teaches while jotting down the notes on a piece of paper in front of the projector. Learn his notes in details as it will get you an A on the exams. It requires the connect code and do hw. Final is much harder.
Professor Mummery is probably the best professor I have ever taken! He made everything so clear that as long as you show up to class, take notes, and review them you will do excellent in his class. Super Funny Guy!!! I wish I could take him for all my required class at CSUF!
3 exams: B,D,C respectively. I slacked off for the second exam but just study his study guide and notes. I recommend attending SI because they truly help you prepare for the coming exam. They give you practice problems that WILL help you on the exams. He is very strict on no phones/devices. Attend class and pay attention and everything will be fine
Mummery was amazing. I know this sounds bad, but I failed his class the first time. It was entirely my fault for not going to class. I took him again, knowing that if I just sat there and wrote down what he did I would pass. That's exactly what happened. He is literally so clean and makes hard topics easy. Just go to class!
Great professor! You just need to study outside of class, he does need to give more examples during class regarding the functions. So make sure you study for the exams 10 extra credit points and he does not curve your grade, not even if you are 1pt away! He's a great professor though
Comes prepared every class and lectures passionately. His teaching style requires a lot of note taking so pay attention. He's strict on phone usage and talking during class and he's not afraid to point you out to everyone. Standard class with online hw, two exams, and a final (The homework is a great boost to your grade so do all of them).
Mummery is by far the best professor I've had so far at CSUF. Patient and cares for every student. His lectures are well thought out and you can tell he loves teaching. Read notes and tests are easy B. Final was pretty hard but each credit HW gave me a nice cushion .
Best prof I ever had. Super clear lectures, explanations, and expectations. Be willing to work and you will be fine. Negative comments from others come from those too lazy to try. Be sure to do the homework and be real careful when reviewing for exams.
Great Professor. Very helpful when covering difficult material. Exams aren't too bad, although, you do need to study quite a bit. Best economics teacher i've taken so far. Also, go to SI if possible. It really helps out in the long run.
Mummery is the kind of teacher you want and don't want at the same time. He lectures every class and is very clear and concise about what he is teaching. If you don't take notes and don't go to class you are going to fail his class. He does give extra credit in the homework which helps. Tests are heavy!!! About 1/3 of our class this semester failed
There are only 2 things worth criticizing about Mummery. 1. His handwriting is a bit too fast to keep up with. 2. He punishes cheaters by failing them for the entire course, not just the assignment. Some, including myself, may find this a bit too harsh.
Grading does not have attendance point so you can skip classes. But be careful since one lecture goes through a lot of information. Prof. Francis is really knowledgeable and understands his field. He also gives extra credits through homework. Before the test, he will give you study guides which will show exactly which part the test cover.
I feel I learned more with this prof in a 5 week summer class than I did with all of my other professors combined over the previous 3 years. Very caring, great examples, goes out of his way to make sure students succeed.
Great Professor. He is very passionate for econ and about helping students. Econ 315 is a tough class all around and Mummery is the best at teaching this class. You have to really try in this class because his tests are not easy. Visit him in office hours and he is always glad to help students out. He runs a strict class but he is a cool guy.
Take him! This class is going to be difficult regardless of who you take it with. Utilize the tutoring review sessions, it helped me so much with the difficult short answer questions.
If you want to pass this class TAKE HIM! He's an incredible teacher and makes a really difficult class seem easy and interesting. His study guides cover every single question on the exam. Just show up to class and you will do well. He makes it hard to fail.
I hated Economics up until I took his class. Yes, the material is very complicated and requires a lot of effort, but his persona and enthusiasm for Economics makes you like the content. The class is tough and will require you to put in lots of effort. He provides study guides that are identical to the test so if you study ahead, you should be fine.
Prof Mummery is a great professor. he teaches well and his class is fun. the most important thing i can advise you if you taking his class is, keep up with materials throughout the the semester and don't wait for exam weekend to study. he gives exam reviews but the exam review exercises he gives can be misleading if you stick to the format.
Mummery is such a great professor that even if your IQ is -200 the class still makes sense. Doesnt mean the class is easy though. Graded material is solely based on quizzes and tests (no homework and no purchasing of textbook). Id recommend writing down everything he writes on the board and studying those notes. Do that, and you will pass.
Amazing professor!! I hated Econ until I took this class.. still hate Econ but he made me hate it less good teacher and communicates information very well.. gets overly mad about cell phones but I mean its alright... tests are alright and require studying.. dont slack and although SI isntrequired it does help to go.. true and false Qs are tricky
This teacher is cool. Tests are not that difficult as people explained. A good day before study will land you at least a B. Homework cushions your grade and is super easy with unlimited tries. Must come to class since everything is hand written. He gets really mad about phones which I guess is cool. Pay attention you should do fine. Basic math.
He is the best Professor I've ever seen. He is hilarious and the way he teaches is fantastic.
He is a great professor and I learn more from him. I overall get 89% in the class. Received a B. No - or +. No curve.
I really enjoyed this class. Prof Mummery is an amazing professor. We took a lot of notes, but they were extremely helpful for the exams. The course material isn't difficult, but you have to put in the effort to study and actually learn it. Plus, he gives great study guides so you know what to expect on the exams.
He is good at explaining the material but the exams were really hard for me. We took a lot of notes but I didn't feel like there were enough examples to prep for the exams. If you don't do well on the first exam I'd recommend tutoring and seeing him during his office hours. He drops the lowest exam which is great. And do all the HW. Good Luck!
Be ready to write notes from the very beginning of class till the very end. He teaches it well but still the subject is challenging and the exams were pretty difficult. He offers extra credit for getting a perfect score on all of the homework so re do it until you get the highest score. Really strict on people using phones and showing up late.
Be ready to take a lot of notes, but they are super clear and what you need for the exams. Grade comes from exams and homework. Use the study guides - they are really good. Mummery is fair and gives lots of really good examples.
Best teacher is the College of Business. Everything you want in a great professor.
Prof Mummery is one of the Greats. This is not always an easy or fun subject, but Mummery tries hard to make it simple, practical, and interesting. This Prof, always goes out of his way to answer questions and make sure everyone understands. Fair grader who makes good grades simple to EARN. HW is difficult but use assistance, & you should be fine.
If you want a professor who genuinely wants you to learn something from the course while at the same time maintain a healthy GPA, this is the professor to take. The dedication and consideration Professor Mummery put into his students' education is the epitome of a successful educator.
Prof. Mummery is the best lecturer anyone can take for Economics. His lectures are so clear and on point, I didn't have to use the text book at all for his exams. He gives clear guideline about the exam and sticks to it. It is important that you attend his classes because the way he explains the material in class just goes right into your memory.
He is the kind of professor that everyone respects because of how much he values his students. He really embodies what a professor should be likecaring, knowledgeable, and inspiring. Take him if you get the chance to get a great learning experience. However, DO NOT use any electronics in class unless youre a masochist.
This class was extremely difficult for me. In class you learn concepts, but the HW and tests are all math problems so I had to teach myself a lot of it. I didn't feel well prepared for the exams and this was actually the first class I have ever gotten a C in, which was pretty disappointing. I recommend going to SI sessions because I didn't.
I don't know why a lot of the positive comments below have so many down-votes. But it's true guys, Mummery makes life very easy for you. His lectures are structured and taught in a way that makes you understand the concepts. He also gives you lots of examples. For the exams, you just study the notes. CT
Moves way too fast and doesnt answer questions well "see me during office hours". You spend all lecture period writing notes which doesnt give you a chance to think about what you're writing. The examples in class are 1/5 in difficulty while the hws are 3.8/5. As a previous econ major I can very honestly say I've had much better
Patient, caring, and clear. Lots of material, but if you need help, ASK. He really wants students to do well and gets lots of helpers to hold more office hours if you need additional time like I did to go over math I wish all teachers were like him. Do all of the homework and look really carefully at study guides.
Amazing professor, he will help you every step of the way. He has detailed notes and very similar test reviews to help you on the exams. I took him in 2017 and in Jr. college. He always motivated me and helped believe in myself. Great professor.
Such an awesome professor! Because of him, I feel like I finally can understand econ! It's important to attend every class and take detailed notes. All his examples will pop up on his exams with different wordings and numbers. His stud guide is almost identical to his exam. Make sure to spend time studying for his exams as it's doable.
I took his micro, macro, and ECON315. I am just sad that there is no more class that I can take with him. His lectures are super clear. Be sure not to miss any class because the material itself is not easy. He truly care for students to do better. And SERIOUSLY, DON'T USE YOUR CELL PHONE IN CLASS! He says it repeatedly but some still does.. ):<
His teaching method didn't resonate well w me. He went too fast, writes sloppy & makes the exams more stressful than it should be. He's very particular when taking the exam, you must show ID. He's a good professor; concise, engaging and manages to be funny, an interesting class forsure but his teaching style didn't resonate w me, unfortunately.
Here's what you need to know about Mummery: He does not lecture using PPT and instead writes handwritten notes, which makes it mandatory to attend. He also hates seeing people using phones in class. He tries his best to make the material simpler as the course is difficult. Overall great professor. If this is not your style, take another professor.
Truly amazing prof that really cares about students. Goes way out of his way to help. He responded to my emails super fast and some were sent at 1130 at night and others at 5 in the morning. This was my second time taking this class, but first time with him. Take him. You won't regret it.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He gives out study guides that tells you what concepts and problems to focus on. Show up to every class and take notes. I however slacked off and skipped multiple classes. Trust me, he makes the class way easier for such a hard subject.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK. It is easy points that you will regret not taking advantage of at the end of the semester if you dont ace all the exams. Lectures are great, he prepares you for his exams very well. A lot of real world knowledge You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion for teaching. Final is optional so do good on the exams.
Mummery is a great Professor. He is very knowledgeable and cares about his students. Be prepared to write a ton of notes. 3 exams and an optional final. Does not do +/- grading and does not round at all. Earned a 69.9% in the class and I have to take the course again.
Professor Mummery is an amazing professor who really has a passion for teaching economics. You must go to class and take lots of notes, it'll help you out in the long run. He keeps lectures entertaining by using real world examples and topics.
Honestly one of the best professors Ive had especially for a tough course. He is really passionate about teaching and it shows in his lectures. Dont think his class is easy though the exams are tough. No electronics allowed in class laptops, cell phones, etc so get ready to take notes the old fashioned way. He will call u out if he sees them out.
My favorite teacher, and definitely the best at CSUF. He can be hard, especially if you're not the best at math. But if you go to class, study the material until you understand, and do the homework, you should get an A. It is almost impossible to fail if you do most of the homework and show up for the tests. you have the option to skip the final.
Most amazing professor for economics and very passionate. He lectures by writing everything on the board along with students so he doesn't go too fast. He's great at explaining the concept without making it too complicated or boring. Test are very similar to the study guide he provides and class notes! if you study those you'll do great.
Professor Mummery is a great professor because he is so patient and passionate. 3 exams and one final, each of them is worth 100 points. The final is optional if you do well in the previous three exams. Online homework is worth 100 points and you will earn 10 points for extra credit.
This class is not easy, but Mummery makes learning Econ and earning good grades easy with time and effort. He takes time to answer every question and explain concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He offers extra credit, homework help & Supplemental Instruction. Mummery's wisdom, care for students, and patience makes the world a better place
Professor Mummery does a good job at explaining the content and getting you engaged by providing real life examples. His grading is fair enough that there should be no excuse not to pass as long as you do assigned homework and study for exams. Which is all fairly easy. Recommend!
Econ is a hard subject in general, hes good at explaining the material, but he is a bit extra when taking the exams. It would get me more nervous than I was. I also noticed that every time I asked a question after class or in his office hours, he was rude and rushed in his response. Expect to put in much more effort than usual.
Gives everyday examples for students to relate and understand. Homework extra credit. 4 exams, drops 1 of the lowest. final is comprehensive but optional. Do a lot of math practices, it'll save your ass on the exam. Attendance not mandatory but helps you a lot. I didnt use the book often but i do it to look at graphs and math q's.
Two exams 25% each. Homework 20%. Comprehensive final 30%. The lectures are fun because he tries to relate it to his real-life experiences. Attendance isn't mandatory but missing class will be the worst thing anyone can do. One of the hardest classes I've taken. Chegg subscription is a must for the homework.
His teaching style is very lengthy and redundant. His tone and attitude are also very uncomfortable. His teaching style is writing and reading, I hardly understand anything after writing down what he wrote, it was too verbose, he seldom preached but only read what he wrote down. The test is really difficult and many questions are not relevant.
Awesome professor! Doesn't throw curve balls at you on the test. Notes are really clear and as long as you study them and do the hw you are guaranteed at least a B. Both the hw and study guide resemble the exam 95%. if you're happy w your first 3 exams, you don't have to take the final. If you do not pass, you basically just didn't care to try.
Professor Mummery is by far the best professor I have ever had! I also has him during my time at Fullerton College and I was so glad that I could take a class with him again at CSUF. He has an old-fashion teaching style, which I actually like. Class is based on 3 exams and homework.
He gives you everything you need to Succeed. Pull up to class, take notes on EVERYTHING he writes down and study, you will get an A. The hw is pretty much all Chegg, and I didn't really use it to study. This is a hard class in general but mummery would be the only person I would want to teach me this material
Show up and try. Do those two things and you'll pass. I tried really hard on the first 2 exams (88% and 82.5%) and needed a 0% on the final to pass, so this is a very doable class.
Best Economics professor I have taken. His lectures are super clear and tell you exactly what will be on the exams. If taken in person, he doesn't allow phones and don't show up late because he will give you a look. Online his lectures are exactly like how they would be in person. Best professor at csuf! Final exam is optional, & hw is worth a lot!
I took 315 with Morteza but I failed with a few points off. I knew it was a sign I should've taken it with Mummery. This is my third time taking a class from Mummery. Coming from two classes of his at Fullerton College, I can vouch that he will make you work for your grade! He hand writes al his notes, easy to follow. Ask questions and go to class!
This is my third time taking professor Mummery. I had him at FJC and now at CSUF for Econ 315. His online lectures are exactly how he would teach in person. Make sure to write everything down from his videos. His tests are his notes. There are 11 homework assignments, and 3 exams. An A is easily attainable if you study.
Doesn't have live lectures, its just pre recorded videos. The videos are super long most of the time. Homework every week, class is challenging, he does not curve. Avoid if you can.
Super clear videos - walks you thru everything step by step. Holds Zoom sessions to go over homework and answer questions. Responds to emails fast. No wonder his classes fill up fast. Do all homework and passing is easy.
Too many questions in the exam that are not possible to finish on time. If I had more time, I would do better. He gave us 40 questions with a lot of calculation problems but we only got 80 minutes for them. One calculation problem needs at least 5 minutes, but how can we solve almost 40 calculation within 80 minutes. So bad.
Good and helpful professor. He cares about you and will help you. He provided lots of SI sessions online and extra hours with graduate assistants that are amazing. He wants his students to succeed. There are 3 test, multiple choice, and homework online that consists of 25% of your grade. This is overall a VERY hard class, so put in the work .Take h
The exams are so heavy. A lot of calculatives question in a shotrt time . Even if you study a lot for exam you can not pass it with A.
Lectures are really clear. C is easy to get since HW is 25% of grade. He will make you work for an A, but it can be done. I did it and I learned a lot. Take good notes and study hard.
professor Mummery is very respected and polite. but his lectures are superrr long and heavy. This is a very hard class but exams are extra ordinary hard and stressful. He make the questions by himself so forget about searching them! the amount of questions and calculations don't even match the time limit for the exam. does not curve.
Professor mummery has pre-recorded lectures. they are very clear and easy to follow. But exams are extremely hard with lots of calculations, it's impossible to finish. You cannot find the questions online. 40 hard questions in a short time with lots of calculation for each. 7 choices for each question to choose with lots of fraction functions.
People would argue that his class is hard bc they dont study harder. Yes this class is hard because heavily rely on math and trick exam questions. But, if you put efforts and practice more, you'll be fine. His lecture is clear and he is willing to help students on email/class. I've taken his classes from ECON 101,201, and 315 and all received A.
I had to retake this class because Archana failed me (shes a TERRIBLE professor) and I took it with Mummery! BEST CHOICE! I passed because of Mummery. Thank god I won't need to retake again. Mummery is very easy and straightforward. I would have gotten a B if I remembered to do the extra credit. Definitely take Econ with him! Especially if online.
Watch/attend his lectures and write everything down! He's great at teaching, but you need to be FOCUSED during lecture. Homework is hard, but the textbook can help. The exams are intense. There's a lot of problems to do with limited time so it's easy to run out of time. STUDY, go to SI and do the homework and you will be fine. 3 exams and homework.
Pre-recorded lectures are super useful since he's very detailed. Going to class is not mandatory. The tests in this class are hard, but put some effort into it and you might a B. Homework is due on the week of the midterm, so you can work on it anytime before the due date. Overall, Mummery is a great ECON professor compared to my other econ teacher
professor mummery is super wise and he makes materials easy to understand. class is for going over homework but not mandatory if you already know how to do it. however for some chapters his pre-recorded lectures didnt have all the info needed to understand the concept and i had to use the book to figure it out. but he is willing to help!!
Professor Mummery is really good at explaining difficult concepts. His lecture videos are very concise and easy to follow. It's hard to get an A, but as long as you take good notes ahead of time, you should be good to go!
Professor Mummery is the best lecturer ever. Everything you need are in his video lectures and he has great SI grad support students. This is is a challenging class using calculus in many of the topics. Prepare thoroughly and take lots of notes and you will pass his class. The final was very tough which resulted in my grade slipping from a B to a C
Don't do it girl it's not worth it, im not gonna do it girl I'm just thinking about it. Don't !! You will fail. Exams have 25 questions that are heavily worded and each question is 4% of exam grade. Not enough time and writes his own exams. Hard class, not worth it, you study so much to miss 3 question and kiss an A goodbye
He post all his lectures online and class is just to clarify questions. Each week there are 3-5 lecture videos, 40-50 minutes each. Exams were open notes, but it's not much help, you need to know how to do your calculations quick. There are 3 exams and 1 final, drops the lowest. He doesn't give enough time on exams, first exam average was a D.
Overall he's not bad, BUT be prepared to throw your A away. This is a class where you CANNOT SLACK OFF, from the very first lecture you have to be on top of it because the exams are extremely difficult. He drops the lowest exam score with 4 exams total. First exam was terrible but the 2nd and 3rd exam were more doable.
Great Professor! He really cares about helping students. Always responds to emails & willing to make time to help students. It is a hard class in general. Lots of material. cant slack off or just watch videos & expect to pass. Got to put in effort. Homework worth a lot so if U aren't a great test taker, that helps. Take him for sure!!
4 tests, drop lowest score, homework's due on test day. Mummery is very kind and caring towards his students, but could improve his outrageously difficult tests. I have never got a 32% on a test until this class. You need to know the material inside and out and even then you might only get an 85 cause you didn't have time for the last 4 questions.
I had a 69.89 in the class and he refused to round. His exams were hard and most of the time the study guide did not help. The SI helped more on the exams than his actual lectures and notes. Do your homework because i missed one section of homework and it cost me 12% of my grade
Best professor at CSUF by far! Taken Summer 2021. Professor Mummery is ALWAYS available outside of class. Makes the content extremely accessible even for those who really struggle with math. This is a calculus heavy course so be ready to brush up on your math skills. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class. Tests were open book/notes. TAKE HIM!
Mummery is the best teacher I've ever had. So organized, so clear, fair, funny, caring. No wonder he is so popular. Gives a lot of notes. Come to every class and you will be fine. Gives great study guides - pay attention to every word on them. Thank goodness I dropped another teacher last semester. Don't hesitate. Take him!
Econ 315 is a difficult class whoever you take it with, but Mummery is able to simplify the material so it is easier to understand. However, this doesn't mean it' easy because you have to invest a lot of time if you want to get an A. It's definitely doable with a B or C. He also drops one exam which can be the final if desired. Take him if you can.
Take Mummery for any class you can. He is really excellent. Super clear lectures. Tells you the topic of EVERY exam question. Strict but fair and nice.
TAKE HIM! You won't regret it! The only economics class I really enjoyed taking here at CSUF. 4 exams and only 3 are counted, but they can be difficult. I highly recommend going to SI, and practicing with the mock exams. Overall a very passable, and enjoyable class. Put the effort in, and you will have to problem getting an A. He's a rare gem.
Take Prof. Mummery! You won't regret it. There's a reason why he's so popular and everyone wants to take him. He's so passionate about Econ and teaching. I really enjoyed this class and I'm not even an Econ major. There are no quizzes, homework for each chapter (on Connect), takes the highest 3 out of 4 exams (meaning final is optional).
Mummery is an amazing professor for econ315. 4 exams (lowest one is dropped-I didn't have to take the final), 12 hw assignments online, and 10 pts EC if you score 100 on all hw. He is a very effective lecturer, especially for such a difficult subject. I suck at math but still got an A. Take notes & go to SI for their mock exams and u'll b golden!
Amazing amazing professor! Very knowledgeable in his field. You will get to know about real-life application rather than just dry theory and lecture. One of the only classes that I was excited to go to.
One of the best professors I have had. Was very professional and ran his class in an organized manner with very engaging lectures including real life examples. Homework on connect unlimited attempts. Tests difficult, (no notes), but just like the lectures and questions structures are hinted at during lectures. Uses a live note taking lecture style.
Professor Mummery is a really great. I switched my major to Econ because of his class. His lectures are really clear, but be prepared to write A LOT! I wish he could teach all my other classes. Take him if you can get in his class, you'll thank me.
Probably the best teacher I've ever had. I'm not a numbers person but Mummery made Econ easy to understand. Do the practice questions - they similar to quiz and exam questions. Study your notes a lot, and don't be afraid to ask questions cuz he's really patient.
professor mummery was a great professor! the content of the class was difficult in itself, but he did a great job of conveying what we needed to learn and memorize for the exam. his grading criteria was clear and the class itself was not too bad. a lot of notes per class session, but manageable! no quizzes, just some exams + hw! final exam optional
I can not recommend him more, he is one of the best professors I have ever taken.The tests are not necessarily the hardest, but if you do not study you will not do well in this class. Make sure to do the homework to those 10 extra credit points comes in clutch at the end of the semester.
Professor Mummery is an amazing lecturer. If you want to have a good understanding about the business environment then take him. Exams mirrored the lecture notes. 4 exams throughout the semester - including a cumulative final. He lets you decide if you want to take the cumulative final. Lowest exam dropped. You will learn a lot from his class.
i should have got an A within 7 points. highly recommend going SI otherwise its hard to catch up in a very big hall class. mock tests in SI are very similar to actual tests. make sure to do the hw on time as well
Great professor. You will struggle in this class if you're not good with math. Attending S.I. helped a lot. Lectures are very concise and clear. 3 exams and 1 cumulative final. He drops the lowest score. Homework is complex and seems very different from lectures. Wish he would use more homework examples in the lecture. Easy to get ahold.
He is the best teacher, he made the lesson so easy to understand especially in econ class. I wish all of the professors should go to his class and listen to his way of teaching. he gave inspirational stories and I love it! if he offers more econ classes I would consider changing my major. His class is not that hard but I work hard for the A+
This is the BEST Econ. professor on campus. He is lecture heavy but the lectures and great and he does a fantastic job of explaining the material. If you pay attention and put in the work, this class is super easy to pass. Some of the topics are difficult but he is very accessible outside of class. Take this professor if you can, the BEST option!
Your grade is only 3 exams and online homework assignments. Offers 3 midterms and 1 cumulative final, but the lowest exam score is dropped. Your best bet at studying is attending SI - if you can't attend, get SI materials from someone else. My only warning is his handwriting is very hard to understand at times and he goes through lectures very fast
Made economics interesting. Attend class and use SI resources and you will pass. One of my favorite professors at CSUF.
Best professor ever! If you struggle with Econ, take him. He explains everything well, so don't miss any class. Homework is easy, and exams are very straightforward (make sure to practice the mock exams from SI).
Professor Mummery is the absolute BEST! Take him if you can. His lectures were engaging and he often shared funny stories. He truly cares about his students and is there for them. There is an SI leader with his class and her name is Sophia Aleman. Both of them are amazing. It's not hard to get an A if you put in the work and go to SI.
If you can, please take Prof. Mummery. I can't recommend him enough for Econ 315. His lecture is interesting and the material is doable. He also has a great sense of humor. So far, my favorite professor and I'm not even an econ major.
Take him! Teaches you from the ground up and goes step by step. Your grade is based on 4 exams and homework from cengage. He drops the lowest exam score. Workload is doable. You will pass if you follow along with his lectures and practice exams
The best Professor I have taken at CSUF. Exactly what he teaches is what you see on his exams no surprises because his study guide is clear, lectures are clear, and SI provides great support. You have to attend lecture even missing one class puts you behind on a topic. I wish all Professors at CSUF thought like him.
Professor Mummery is a great choice for Econ 315. The content of his lectures are exactly what's on his exams. He provides a study guide which references the topics each exam question will cover. He is really passionate about the material and wants his students to understand the concepts. There are 4 exams (1 is dropped) and homework.
11-12 HW assignments, NO quizzes, 4 exams (only 3 counted). Prof.Mummery was the best at guiding me through problems and having patience as I was learning. If you have a hard time with math, go to SI Sessions and ask for help from the professor directly. Prof.Mummery is the best and will help you, but you've got to put in some work to see results.
Hands down my favorite professor! Mummery is really great at making the material of this class interesting. I'm actually gonna get a minor in Econ because of him. Four quizzes, two exams, and everything you need given in class. Super great.
Mummery is a gem at CSUF. He handwrites his notes in class for lecture, and has two amazing SI leaders that provide additional help after class. He's very particular in what he expects from his students, but in return has an effective teaching style that I really respect him for. In the midst of bad professors at CSUF, Mummery is amazing.
One of my favorite professors at CSUF. Try to attend all the classes because he will tell you which examples will be directly on the exam. The tests are very similar to examples in class and he is very straight forward with what to expect. Out of three exams and the final, the lowest one is dropped. Homework was on McGraw with unlimited attempts.
This guy has the most impressive communication skills I have ever seen. He is able to explain concepts so comprehensibly, that you could ace his exams if you only take notes in class. Professor Mummery is one of the best professors at CSUF. Take his class.
10-11 HW Assignments, 3 Exams, with the Final optional. The lowest exam score is dropped if you decide to take the final exam. Mummery lectures by writing down handwritten notes on paper and uploads them to canvas once the class ends. The content of the hw was way different from the notes and so lots of students struggled on the hw.
Good at teaching and explaining the materials. Class is lecture heavy so get ready to take notes everyday. He has very thorough guide for his exams and quizzes, though some might feel a bit tougher than the materials learned in class. Well-respected and knowledgable professor, his teaching style really makes students to want to learn a thing or two
This class was the most hardest class I have ever taken here. It tests everything and your capabilities. Be warned that most fail.
Retook this class in Summer Session 2023. Professor Mummery gives amazing notes to help you pass exams. Homework was very minimal and unlimited attempts. Study guides are clear and in order to how it will be on the exam. I recommend going to SI but in summer there is none and I was able to get a B with practice.
I hate econ so much. Like I have actual contempt for econ and I'm bad at math. Professor Mummery is the only reason I passed. He has high expectations, but they are attainable and he is very up front with them. He is an excellent teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and he manages to keep it interesting even for a hater like me.
This class is known to be extremely hard but Mummery is your best chance at passing. Class is strictly lecture but he posts notes on canvas (recommend to go to class cause it helps to listen to it). 4 exams and homework for each chapter. Go to the SI sessions for help!!
Professor Mummery is amazing and his lecture style allows me to really give my 100% undivided attention in class. Attendance is not mandatory but try not to skip because you'll get lost in the amount of content from the prior lecture even though notes are posted. The grade that I got was from very minimal effort so it's impossible to fail.
Professor Mummery truly is the best professor to teach this very difficult course. He sets it up in a way to make it simpler if you just do all the homework. It is not an easy class but is on you if you pass or not.
Definitely take him! Class is based on 410 points w/ HW being 110 points and exams 1,2, and 3 being 100 points each! When he breaks it down, as long as you get 100% on the HW you only have to get a 57% on each of the 3 exams to pass the class w/ an C! This class is MADE TO PASS! No final exam if you've taken exams 1,2,& 3 as well!
I am someone who is not very good with econ, but Mummery made this class easy. He provides clear instruction and always wants his students to succeed. I really liked how he provided a study guide before every test that directly corresponded to the test. He made this class easy and I would 100% recommend him.
Professor Mummery was amazing, his lectures were highly engaging which made it easy to follow along in class. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is recommended that you show up to all of the lectures, and be prepared to be tested on everything he covers during class. I would retake him in the future!
This professor was so amazing he new how to teach economics and combine it with real life to make it easier to understand. The only reason why hes hard is because the tests are literally your whole grade, no assignments just tests. Plus the questions are confusing and you can only get it right if you know econ inside and out. Amazing teacher!!
Terrible teacher all he does is yap. Took notes and went to every class super tough questions. No homework so performance is just on quizzes class average was C and lower
Professor Mummery is one of the best professors I have had. He is very clear in telling you what will be on exams and what your grade will consist of. If you do the homework, memorize the important formulas, and study you will do fine. Also, the SI mock exams were very helpful and were very similar to the actual exams.
One of my favorite prof taken at CSUF. Breaks down material in an amazing way. Gives study guide that lists each exam question topic so no surprises. If nervous about math required for econ 315 like I was take him! Math for his course basic algebra and derivatives. Practice math portions from mock exams/in class examples and you'll for sure pass.
Clear lectures, real-world applications, serious about wanting students to both understand and enjoy learning econ. Only reason the class is tough is that the content itself is tricky and your grade is mostly just exams with detailed questions. The foundations of first few chapters are pivotal to your course success, you must have them mastered.
Amazing professor! He really knows how to teach and uses real-life examples in his lectures. His class is hard, so it's important to attend each lecture, study the notes, and know the material before quizzes and exams. His tests are tricky however, the actual concepts are not hard. You have to put in the time and effort for this class to pass.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
He is AMAZING! Entirely lectures, but very detailed and clear. Fascinating stories and examples. I learned so much and always looked forward to his class. I'm taking him again this semester. The only thing is that his exams are difficult. He likes to have 1 word make an answer false or use "none of the above." Drops your lowest exam. He's great!
He's a great lecturer.
I don't usually write reviews but THIS PROFESSOR deserves to know how amazing of a professor he is. He really wants students to learn and succeed in his class. If you have a chance, 100% take him because you will not regret it. The best professor l've had at CSUF.
His lectures are okay just the examples he gives are nothing like the exams. The mock exams the SI leader are better than the professor's study guide. He does not curve at all. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I am usually not the best when it comes to math, but Prof Mummery was probably the best instructor I could've taken for econ. While he is lecture-heavy, he keeps you engaged by having you write notes along with him. The tests were pretty difficult, in my opinion, but the mock tests SI put out in the discord were fairly helpful.
Prof. Mummery is a wonderful lecturer. Very knowledgeable and explains things very well. Lectures are very engaging. The class was so fun. Grades are based on 4 quizzes, a midterm, a short paper, and a final. Attendance isn't mandatory, but necessary to do well in the class. His exams are difficult - he loves making "none of the above" the answer.
Prof Mummery makes this econ class manageable, even for math-averse students. His lectures are clear, and the mock exams from the SI leader are extremely helpful. Unstuckstudy AI was also a game-changer for reviewing key concepts. As long as you stay on top of the homework, you can definitely pass this class.
Professor Mummery was an amazing economics teacher. He was funny and extremely knowledgeable about economics. The best part of his class was when he would tell us about real life scenarios that businesses have done to make money. Really opens your eyes about the financial system or the government and private sector. I highly recommend his classes.
He is the best professor at Cal state Fullerton in the business department. I would recommend not to miss class and attend to SI if you want to pass this class.
3 exams, 1 optional final, and textbook homework with 10pts extra. Great study guides. You can pass without attending by relying on SI mock exams, but his lectures are one of the few that are worth attending. He makes the math portions easy to understand and addresses the conceptual questions in lectures. Easy A as long as you study.
Professor Mummery was the best Econ professor I have taken. He gives 10 extra points with the homework which is so nice. The final is optional and if you are happy with your grade you don't need to take it. Exams are not hard if you study the study guide he provides. Take this class
If you're horrible with math. Take this prof. He designs his class layout for success. HW %25 Exam %75. extra credit 10% HUGE to do all the homework. Go to SI and practice before EXAMS you'll pass. If I can do it you can also cause I was so lost in this class.
Study the SI practice exams they are identical to the real exams and he does not grade harshly. Gives partial credit if you show your work. Attendance is not mandatory so most people don't go in person but it helps as he expands on his notes. He goes by extremely quickly but answers questions and is extremely knowledgeable.
Best Economics professor. Dropped 315 twice & passed his class with a B. Loved his lecture style & humor. Required to take notes by hand so no laptops were allowed but it's a good way to memorize stuff. Attendance isn't mandatory but definitely helps to understand the problems. Attend SI and/or study SI mock exams! Final is cumulative but optional.
Took Mummery in 5 week summer session 24. Really great class and prof. He knows his stuff and is passionate about it. Go to class, take good notes, and you'll do fine. Goes out of his way to help you. This was my 4th class with him. Wish he taught ISDS.
Amazing professor! Awesome lectures that show how passionate he is about Econ. No slideshows and does live notes on paper. Provides many examples that are basically exam problems. Attending SI really helps in understanding material and layout of exams. HW, 3 exams, and one cumulative final, which is optional if you're happy with your grade.
Mummery is Great, i was worried that i wasnt going to pass the course because this was my 2nd time taking Econ 315 however he laid it out really well. 3 exams with an optional final that replaced one of your lowest exams. Gives you 10 points EC on the HW if done 100%. Scored 53/100 first exam 80/100 on 2 and 79/100 on exam 3 still passed with a B.
Prof. Mummery was great! His lectures are very insightful and he provides practice problems & solutions every week. No homework, just four quizzes, a midterm, a 350 word paper, and the final exam. The material is easy to understand if you pay attention during class and take good notes. He's very kind and he wants his students to succeed.
Honestly liked how the class was set up, I am not strong in Econ or numbers so I did go to SI sessions and that helped me when going into the third exam. Do the HW that saved me.
Mummery is the best teacher I've ever had in any subject. He's also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I've taken 4 classes (201 202 315 and 333) with him and all were great. He's got your back and really wants you to do great. .
He cares about imparting the knowledge into you, and gives lots of grace with how he teaches. He goes over things more than once, and comes back to them periodically. Consistently will check if we understand, and is super personable about it. Objectively, one of the best professors I've had in the Business/Economics college.
Fantastic lecturer and one of the best professors available in the college of business. He is more involved than any other professor with his students, constantly checking for understanding and confusion during lectures. Lectures are structured more old school, projecting his scratch paper as he draws and explains concepts specifically. Take him!
Gives real life connections to the material. Explains material well and straightforward. Also gives lots of pointers to prepare you well for his exams. Do well on the first three exams, you can skip out on the cumulative final. Show up to lecture, take notes, review the material thru hw problems, and study his notes. SI mock exams are helpful.
Teachers nowadays have zero passion and make you hate college. Not if you take Mummery. This guy is so passionate about economics, it makes me want believe in the cruddy academic system again. Whoever says that he is "too hard" or "focus on realistic scenarios too much", they are losers. Don't be a loser, take Mummery. Guaranteed awesomeness!!!
Econ is boring, but Mummery makes it fun. Exams were pretty easy.
Drove to school without a seatbelt so that I wouldn't make it to his class.
