He's a great person BUT he can be confusing at times as a teacher. What he says in class may help you a lot in understand how the real life gets going (and that's the main point of going to college I guess)but it WON't help you as much as it should in your tests. My advice is to read the workbook, 75 % of the test questions are from there.

It was a relaxing class. All you have to do is show up for the lecture, no in class work or anything. There are quizzes sometimes, but they are super easy and sometimes he'll let you ask other classmates for the answers. You SHOULD buy the workbook, it is very important because most of the tests questions come from the workbook!

Newbury is a solid choice for ECON. His lectures are OK but get you through the online quizzes and the test with flying colors. You only have 4 tests, 12 online exams, and the rest of the points are points from attendance. Sometimes he studders and forgets what he is saying but otherwise a solid choice. Isn't a hard class, just take notes & read.

I took ECON 2301 Online with professor Newbury and it was great. It was my first time taking an online course and he made it so easy to access. Book is required which is published by him so not expense and shows that he is knowledgeable in this subject. Take this professor you will not be disappointed.

I was so nervous to take ECON. Everyone I knew said they took it 2x and barely passed. This was an easy class as long as you do the work. Its all test, quiz, and discussions are easy. The book is pricey, but it was worth the A.

If you take his class it is more of a self taught. He does make you sign in. His lectures a very long and boring at times. He is basically going over what is in the book. I learned most of the material from his class at home from my book.

Not bad, you have to read if u want to understand but it is easy. There's ppt and textbook (i think u have to purchase i forgot) and video. Good content designed to help. Took in 8 weeks, if u do the work u should get an A.

Class is easy but you need to read the book. I didn't try and got a B+. He is a co-author of the textbook. He responds to emails in a timely manner. Read the syllabus and you'll do fine. All assignments have specific due dates but they are spread apart and a reasonable amount.

His class was a lot harder than I expected. The quizzes were easy and although test questions come from the same question bank, the tests were pretty hard. No extra credit at all for anything. His lectures were incredibly long and boring and I dreaded them every Tuesday and Thursday. Not the worst, but definitely not someone I would recommend.

Not happy with my performance due to most of my energy going toward a class that was extremely hard. But overall it wasnt bad. I couldve done way better. Professor gets back to you very quickly in emails. Read and listen to the lectures and you shouldnt have an issue in this class

He doesn't update his calender, so if you miss an assignment you'll get a zero for it with no makeup.

You will have discussions, online quizzes, and in class exams. The exams are like the quizzes, and the quizzes are really easy. Over all not too hard of a course, you can easily get an A. Just make sure you study quizlet before exams!

I took the fast-paced class and I was stressed at the beginning because I thought it was too much work but I was wrong. his class was really smooth and he answers emails directly and he is always there to help. I would definitely recommend his class.

Great Professor. The syllabus is clear and there aren't that many assignments. As long as you study you should be just fine. His grading is very generous as well.

Be sure to read everything the professor assigns because the questions are a direct UNDERSTANDING of the content. Quizzes and test questions/answers are ever changing. There are multiple PowerPoint files, pdfs, and word documents you'll need for referencing during TIMED assignments.

Avoid this class if possible. The professor is unhelpful and relies heavily on external resources like YouTube rather than teaching. unstuck study could be a lifesaver for study prep, but the class itself is a struggle.

If you're in the class that gets to get BFF certified, listen to the videos and take notes. Trust me. Other than that though, the grading and textbook are pretty straightforward. Use the textbook's activities, videos, and flashcards!! They are helpful.
