good communicator, always professional

Great teacher, very committed to his students. Best professor I've ever had.

A great professor - really cares about his students.

Very entertaining & good lectures. Tests are tough but very doable if you study and understand what's going on.

Abraham ROCKS!

Excellent presentation in class of all materials needed for exams. Teaches even large classes of 120 students effectively. Motivates students to learn and remember by making lectures enjoyable. Easy to follow and understand.

Fun but class is hard! 9 tests of only 20 ?'s appiece. Multiple choice. Overall hard but informative

Great prof. He's not the easiest, but he's resourceful and will help if you ask him to. He really cares about his students a lot; he's a great prof to have freshman year because he will give you some good advice. Awesome guy.

Good luck is all i have to say.

Good teacher. Tapes his lectures which is very helpful because the class is tough.

Great Professor. If you miss class, you can check out the tapes because he tapes every class. He also has an awesome personality. You will have to study though because the class is not easy.

Abraham explains the material in a way that is very easy to understand, and makes class very fun. His curve will help you greatly if you do well in class, but can hurt you if you slack off.

Very helpful and very clear and well thought out lectures. 9 tests with worst one dropped and a final. Tests are short and not to difficlt if you attend class read the book. Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had.

Very good prof. You have to work hard, but it pays off. The second best prof I've had at UNI, only second to his brother!

Going to class is fun, cause he's real funny, but 9 tests a semester suck and they are all hard! AVOID HIM!

He's good at explaining things and you can tell he wants you to learn. Quite a few tests but keeps you on top of studying everything so don't have to cram at the end.

The best professor. He explains everything VERY well and really cares that you understand it. He's funny in class and makes it interesting. If you read the book and go to class, the tests aren't that hard. I definitely recommend him! Helps in micro.

The lectures don't cover anything that isn't in the book, so aside from some cool anecdotes there is little incentive to go to class, though he is good at answering questions. Lots of tests, but if you do the reading (there isn't a lot) they are easy.

He made economics much less painful than other professors that I've had.

He keeps your attention really well by making it interesting, and makes everything easy to understand. He also tells you what will be on tests, which is very helpful.

Awesome professor. He is very helpful.

He is an awesome guy and very helpful. His classes are enjoyable and he is a very nice person to talk to. He will help you in any way. Make sure to study for his tests, but they are not that bad. Make sure to read the book and the notes and pay attention in class. I would recommend him!!!

Great teacher, full of energy. Teaches you to be more analytical. Very interesting, tapes his class incase you miss a day.

He is a very good teacher. He does have a lot of energy, but that keeps you awake. Make sure you buy the study guide because some answers on the test come from it, and it also outlines the chapters for you! Also, make sure you go to class on Fridays, because he tends to give easy pop quizzes!

The class is hard unless you are willing to put effort into it.

He is a good teacher that will make you work on your thinking skills

such a fun class - F. is hilarious and has really good ways of remembering key points. the tests are super-hard because they cover a lot of lecture notes but he often tells you if something will be on the test that seems random. he also drops your worst test. don't ever ever miss class.

F. is a very good teacher with a TON of energy. His tests are very hard, but if you get the study guide it makes them 10x easier. Make sure you go to class, for the easy points on pop quizzes. Take good notes and do the study guide and you'll be fine.

very nice teahcer, he is very funny; he knows how to give a fun lecture, so you don't fall sleep in class.The class is not easy you really need to read. but if you do your work you will be ok. He is very nice in and out side of class. Great person and great professor.

Funny professor. Attend all the classes and read the material and you should do fine. He grades on a curve. He drops 1 quiz out of 11. His tests/quizzes are pretty tough but he usually tells you throughout the learning what will and will not be on the test. He's tough but you learn alot.

Great teacher, gives interesting and often funny lectures, test are hard, but he uses a good curve. Make sure you go to class, and take notes and you should be fine.

He is an awesome teacher! His lectures are fun and keep your attention. His tests are pretty rough though, because he expects you to understand the concepts not just know the definition. Take good notes in class and study for the tests and you should be ok. He tapes the classes but try to attend all, and watching the videos before a test helps.

Great teacher--makes a boring subject very interesting. Attend class, he gives quizes (that are extra credit) on the days that only a few people show up. Read the text b/c he always throws 1 or 2 questions from it on the test.

If you do the reading he is really easy. He is very nice and I enjoyed his classes. He is very funny. Don't skip his class because then he gives extra credit. What he talks about in class is whats on the test.

He's a really good teacher. Makes class fun. Sit in the front so he know's your face, if you have a question go ask him after or go to his office. Very willing to help. Tests are hard, if you don't study, read the book and take GOOD notes.

F-dot is the man... his tests are somewhat difficult and it is possible to know/understand the material and still strugle on a test... grades on a very helpful curve... dont skip and read your chapters and you'll do just fine... i cant imagine graduating without the Abraham experience

This clas was difficult, but extremely fun. His way of teaching keeps you interested in a boring subject. He has a good personality for keeping your attention. His test are hard but if you don't skip class, and and follow the reading, and you should be fine.

Very quirky and loves to teach this subject. The class does require alot of reading and studying but Fred makes it real fun to take the class.

F. is a good guy and makes class fun. Test are very hard and you must do the reading to do well. Overall try and pay attention and you should be able to escape.

Great teacher. Uses interesting and fun approaches to help students understand material. Can be difficult for some if you don't keep up with reading/notes.

he's really easy to listen too and is a great teacher

Abraham is so much fun to listen to. Tests aren't that bad. Go to class, he gives almost all the answers during class. Take really good notes. He's really nice and willing to help.

make sure you go to class and study the notes and you will do fine

AWESOME PROFESSOR!! Go to class, and take notes and you will have the answers to the tests. Only 1 question on the test from the book each test. Curves the class so 20% get A, 20% get a B, and so forth.

Fred is pretty cool guy. Loves his job and really cares if his students undrstand the material. Do not miss class. If you miss class, you will miss a lot of material on the tests.

every business major has to take it so, just get it done, have to go to class, the book helps very little, LOTS of tests, final is hard!

You learn a lot from his class. Kind of tough but he is a great professor!

Dont let the Bell Curve scare you out of his class. Hes the toughest teacher Ive ever had but hes very helpful, make sure to attend class and take good notes. Dont buy study guide, review your notes from in class and from the book.

Abraham was really hard but he can be pretty entertaining. He curves the grades so even the though I flunked 3 tests I sill got a B. Pretty good guy.

Funny professor. Even though it was a boring class, I enjoyed his lectures. You need to go to class, you learn a lot. Lots of test that are somewhat hard. The final is really hard and not like the previous tests.

I had this guy way back in 1973, his first semester at UNI. He was the greatest teacher I ever had.

good guy. hard though. GO TO CLASS. the class is taught very well, but economics is just a difficult subject. but I would recommend him as your teacher.

pretty difficult class, but still possible to get an A if go to class, understand graphs, take good notes, and study those notes. He loves to hear himself talk, so don't plan on getting out of class early, ever! That's probably the worst part..

Great prof. The class is challenging and the tests are numerous, but he's funny and a very nice guy. Get to know him on a personal level and it'll pay off.

Overall his class is good. He grades on a curve so that helps you get a better grade. His tests can be very tricky and difficult, but going to class and taking good notes will really help you to do better.

Challenging class, but he does a great job of explaing the material. Attendance is not required, but if you skip, you'll fall behind. Good guy - take prin. of micro with him if possible, you'll learn a lot.

Did a very nice job clerifying things.

He's a tough prof. but I learned a lot. Don't expect any breaks because he won't give any! He has a great sense of humor and explains things well so pay attention and take notes and you'll be fine.

one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is tough but its really the material that's tough and he makes it so much easier to learn and he is really really funny in my opinion!!

very good

best teacher

Professor Abraham is a extremely funny well-educated person. He is completely passionate about economics and he makes it easy to comprehend by using very good examples. He really wants his students to do well and most importantly LEARN. His tests can be tricky but if you study, good grades are certainly attainable. Id take it again in a heartbeat!

Very professional professor. Has productive teaching method &explains material clearly. Has the class laughing everyday w/jokes &comical examples. Although, this class is very difficult. All grades are on a curve which is helpful when you do better than rest of the class. Theres 9 hard 20? MultCh tests&lowest score's droppd. finals cumulative.No hw

He is not as funny as he thinks he is. Said he would make love to his wife in front of class for money, and it would be a good show. Disturbing. Go to class, take notes. Don't let him fool you by thinking he's funny

By far the best professor i have ever had. The test are kind of hard but if you go to class and take good notes you will do just fine. Explains everything very well i would recomend taking him

Abraham is an awesome professor! Good sense of humor and makes class entertaining! The test are challenging, but if you study and go to class, you will do fine. most questions on test are from class lectures! Pay attention and take good notes! And enjoy him and his sweety stories :)

Extremely hard class. Must attend class or you will not do good on the tests. Gives pop quizzes every now n then. Very funny and entertaining teacher tho, all around good guy. Just teaches a very tough class. Attendance really is everything.

great

Great prof! He is the sole reason as to why I became an econ major. This guy knows his stuff... The class is on a straight curve so if you're an above average student you'll do fine

Awesome teacher. I highly recommend taking his class. Puts 1-2 questions from each book chapter on each test. All tests are 20 points/20 questions. Great professor! MUST go to class

His lecture is THE BEST! It's so entertaining and won't let you fall asleep! So fun. He tries to make everything easy to be understood!! Always attend his class it's very important. He has lots of exams like 9-10 in 1 semester, but that's why you can study a little and little. Study guide is very helpful, read text books. And study a lot. A is in y

Great guy, great teacher. Econ is a hard major but it enjoy it because of professors like him. go to class and study and ask questions and you will be fine

Very difficult. He makes you go beyond just definitions and knowledge on the test, he makes you apply what you have learned.

must go to class! he records classes so if you missed you could watch it later. tests were twenty points and required LOTS of studying; you must know the information inside and out.

Abraham is a great Macro teacher. As long as you go to class you will get at least a B! We had about 9 tests, 3 extra credit quizzes, and the final. The test are just 20 multiple choice questions, super easy. He even records classes in case you miss. We never used the book once!

Good teacher and explains the material very well in class. Records lectures in case you miss. Study hard and you'll do well. Can be opinionated but he goes into depth with his explanations.

He is a great teacher! You MUST go to class or you will be lost. He didnt require the book this year but he is changing it for next year. There are a total of 9 test with 20 multiple choice questions on it. must study in detail questions are not easy.

He is my favorite professor so far at UNI. He is funny. You must go to class or watch the DVDs he puts in the library but his tests are based on lecture. If you pay attention you will do well. He explains everything thoroughly. GREAT PROFESSOR!

Abraham said 1st day of class I'd never forget him and 3 years later, I never have.Funny professor and one of my favs.Course is tough but if you go to class, rewatch the video tapes from class, and read the book you'll get an A like I did.I highly suggest using the workbook you can buy if he is still using one.

Very Very difficult class. However he does an excellent job at explaining the material. You won't be able to pass the class if you don't read the textbook.

His class is tough. But worth it. Grades are based on nothing but multiple choice test every few weeks, and he also takes attendance 3 times during the semester to sting students who do not show up. The best part is he records the class. The only thing I do not like about this instructor is that I've caught him talk bad about a few students.

I was nervous coming into UNI taking him as a teacher but so far has been my favorite! He is very interesting and his lectures go by fast. You will need to study and work hard but will get a good grade if you do. He curves the grade. After taking him Microeconomics will be extremely easy!

Great Prof! Will never forget him. Take good notes and use the book and study guide. This is tough stuff and he will tell you that. Explains things well and is energetic and funny, you wont fall asleep in class. Just go to class everyday take GOOD notes, use the book and study guide. video tapes each lecture which is nice because he can go fast

great guy who keeps class entertaining

HILARIOUS! Awesome guy. makes class really fun and easier to focus on. tests are ridiculously hard, but with studying you should be ok.

Fred is an awesome guy. I took Principles of Macro with him. His class is super interesting. My favorite class by far this semester. His tests are super hard so you have to study your butt off to get an A. If you miss class you miss a lot. Your grade is based on 9 tests 20 multiple choice which are very tricky. It's a fun challenging class. Take it

he really makes class interesting. but you really have to go to class to stay on top of the material. he does 9 test throughout the semester, so they are shorter sections, but you still have to study A LOT! is really awesome about making sure you understand the material. Great teacher! i would highly recommend!!

He's a pretty good prof. and helped make the subject more interesting. I wasn't pleased with his discriminitory comments against women. Maybe it is just his age!

The best teacher I have had this year. You will have to work hard but you are competing against the class...work hard and you will do well.

Abraham makes a boring subject entertaining to the max. He will have you falling out of your seat laughing almost every class and you will enjoy him. His test are hard, but the class is graded on a curve where 1/5 will get A's 1/5 B's ect. Funnest class I had even thought the most boring subject

Not to bad of a teacher, really helpful. This class is difficult his tests don't really resemble what is in the book. A lot of analytical thinking involved. I would recomend taking a different teacher if you want an A. Almost impossible to get an A, work hard if you want one.

Really nice guy, helpful, and personable. His tests are tough though and there is a TON of them. Retaking with Hakes

Macro was easy with him. Grades everything on a curve. If you study the notes you pass the test!

Lectures were always really fun, but test were super hard. Tests are alot of analytical thinking.

Abraham demands a lot out of you, so if you don't like to work hard and study this probably isnt one for you and you will probably end up in the lower half of the class. Attendance is mandatory to receive high grade. Reading the book helps. I recommend the study guide. 9 quizzes, all multiple choice, a comprehensive final, and attendance quizzes.

Hardest Macroeconomics professor, but the best. He is the Department head of Economics- he knows what he is talking about. Very funny, lots of quizes. READ THE BOOK, but the study guide is not too helpful. Take good notes and rewatch the lectures. It's just a hard subject!

I'm an international student,English isnt my 2nd language. Hard class, but fun, I like his jokes. 9 or 10 tests, cant remeber, 20 multi. choice Qs.Pretty tough. Qs are all from his lecture, if u want a good grade, I strongly recommand u attend class, take good notes and/or watch his videos at library. Focus on Graphes, u'll be fine. I got A.

This class is quite hard but Abraham is the best professor I have ever had. Extremely knowledgable about the subject and very passionate. Will keep you interested throughout every lecture. Study hard and read the book.

Abraham does a great job relaying information to his students and always holds my attention. Great professor, take him if you want to learn a lot.

HE IS MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR!! He absolutely loves what he teaches, and he made me become passionate about Econ as well! The class is challenging, but he does a great job of explaining the material. I wish he could be my professor for every class! TAKE HIS CLASS!!! :)

Abraham is by far the best Macro teacher. Tests are very difficult but since he grades on a curve it will help a lot. Strictly test based grading but its a must to show up for class. If you plan on missing a couple days then you're screwed.

Is a very good professor. His jokes are funny and helps keep class interesting. He gives 3 pop quizzes that are graded. Tests are very hard and worded strange. Will help if you need additional help. Tough class.

Abraham is an awesome macro professor! He knows his stuff and will take the time to make sure he answers questions. The tests are hard and you should plan to study often. Macroecon is very complex but Abraham is the best person to teach the class.

Excellent professor! Make sure to attend class on days that many people skip (around Halloween, Thanksgiving Break, etc.) as he gives easy free point pop quizzes on days when the room doesn't look very full. He does a great job of preparing students for tests as well.

Highly recommend! Nine 20 question M.C. tests and a 40 M.C. cumulative final. Buy the study guide, it really helps. Also, he grades on a curve that will only help you, not hurt you. It's a tough class but enjoyable with F. Abraham. He is the head of the Econ department but loves teaching Intro to Macro. TAKE ABRAHAM!

Great teacher, very funny. My favorite of the Semester

He's a great professor who actually makes macro interesting. His lectures seem to go by very quickly and are enjoyable. His tests are difficult, so you will have to put in some time outside of class but overall, it's not too bad. No assignments, 9 tests, a comprehensive final, and random "pop quizzes" that are just free points.

Abraham is HILARIOUS! He kind of looks like the Monopoly guy. In Macro he gives short tests(20 questions) once a week rather than huge tests every few weeks which makes it easier to do well on the tests. He drops your 3 lowest test scores. Abraham is a very knowledgeable and kind professor.

F. Abraham is a great professor! The class is challenging but he explains it great. I enjoyed hearing his lectures and learning from him. Highly suggest taking him as a professor!

Great teacher who loves what he teaches. He wants you as a student to benefit from the course he teaches. Wants his students to think analytically as well as use his class in the real world. Study, study, study. Class is not easy but very rewarding, you will learn a lot that will help benefit you as a citizen. TURN YOUR PHONES OFF.

This class was very tough, but Abraham did a good job to help make it interesting. He does these funny acting like things sometimes. If you attend class and take good notes and do the study guide problems that will help. If you struggle with this class watch the video he takes of class. They are really helpful to clear up things missed in class.

Class is heavily curved, but its ranked so no matter what a certain percentage of the class will fail. Make sure to go to lectures and take notes because his test questions almost all come from in class lectures.

Prof Abraham was hilarious during lecture and he likes to joke around. There were 9 tests and then the final. The final was cumulative and required TONS of studying. He curves every test and drops the worst score of all the tests before the final. If you pass the final, you pass the class. Overall great professor and fun class! Would recommend!
