Great

I love Andy!! He's great at explaining tough subject matter and makes sure to do a lot of examples. Class can get boring from time to time but he works hard to explain material and make it relevant to life. Take his class if you can.

Andy is phenomenal. He's a brilliant professor who not only knows what he's talking about but knows how to explain the material clearly. Homework is mandatory but really helpful if you put in the time. Always gives practice tests/answer keys that look just like the exams

He's awesome and relatable. His lectures are easy to follow and he posts them online. His practice exams help out a lot.

Great lectures. You can take notes but it's easy to just listen and absord the information. I recommend sitting close because he talks somewhat quietly. Really interesting guy and for sure knows what he's talking about. Easy B, apply yourself and you can get an A.

Professer Hanssen is very knowledgable and his lectures are usually entertaining and always makes learning relatable to the real world. He curves the grades of the class and makes getting an A not that bad.

He speaks very clearly and is able to get across main ideas really well, so I definitely recommend him, even if you normally hate economics. Get to class early, though, or else you'll be in the back, and he doesn't speak very loudly.

Class is an easy B, and if you took economics in HS even easier. He is very clear and iClicker games really can help your grade. Attending class was optional considering we had 300 students but if you did you hardly have to study. Jump on it from the beginning and you can cruise to the final.

Awesome teacher kept things very interesting and fun for the class. Uses examples that everyone can relate to. Practice exams are super helpful. Definitely reccommend.

He is a really good teacher! He explains everything very well in class and makes it interesting to the class. His tests are kinda hard since they are a lot of hypothetical type questions but he curves the grades so don't feel too bad if you do not do great. Def would take again

Such a great professor, really tries to make the material relevant. Attendance is a must in my opinion because the iclicker questions really help you understand the material. I didn't even open the textbook and got an A, just be sure to take the practice exams and go to the discussion section.

Awesome senior seminar. Feel like I finally applied everything I've learned (in a good way). Very relaxed but intelligent professor.

Definitely a class you should study for, but his practice tests are extremely helpful.

Sit close to the front if you want to be able to focus with a 300 person class. His lectures are clear with a lot of examples. Plus he can be pretty funny. 75% and higher is a B.

Phenomenal teacher. He takes a pretty dry subject and makes his lectures humorous and interesting. However, his classes are huge! There were probably 300 students in my lecture so we are broken up into TA (discussion groups) for meetings once a week. If you have a good TA you're set. If not... good luck. Tests are really hard, so you need to study

I dislike economics in general but Professor Hanssen made it tolerable. His lectures, although they can be quite dull at times, are usually dumbed-down to make the material more understandable. I hated the TA sessions that were mandatory to attend and they didn't help whatsoever. Practice tests will help out a lot so make sure to look over them.

Best teacher I've ever had. sweggy man.

Makes boring econ lectures somewhat interesting and easy to understand. Doesn't take attendance but if you want an A you have to go. Also basically get extra credit if you go to class with your iclicker score. Awesome teacher, getting an A is not extremely difficult!

Professor Hanssen is to date the smartest and most interesting Professor I have had at Clemson. Take him for 314. There is homework due every class, but it's not to time consuming and can really help you understand the material. There is also a quiz every class, so dont skip. His class is very difficult, but with effort, attainable and enjoyable.

Hanssen is hilarious and very kind as a professor but his tests are VERY hard so you need to put a lot of time into studying and practice problems or you may not pass.

Brilliant! My favorite professor so far by far! The way his class is set up you will know the material by the end of the day. Great at explaining things and tests are fair as youll know what to expect from practice questions. Class average is bad but our generation is socialized into false economics and some just don't get Econ. GREAT CLASS!

One of the most intelligent professors at Clemson. Lectures are fun and interesting and involve a lot of class participation. Tests can have trick questions sometimes but he gives awesome study guide packets that will help you a lot on the tests. Overall this class was one of my favorites and I learned microecon like the back of my hand.

This guy was very difficult, but he really knows what he's doing. Don't expect to just show up and get a good grade. Tests are very difficult but fair. He puts practice exams up that let you know exactly what to expect. A very likable guy who is approachable and down to earth.

Professor Hanssen is very smart has fascinating lectures. This is a great class for Econ majors. If you're looking for an easy A, choose a different teacher, as he has the lowest average grade of any Econ 2110 teacher and some find the tests difficult, but if you understand Econ and/or want to major in it, take Hanssen, he's a great professor.

Covers relatively basic microeconomic concepts, but if you don't understand it 100% you'll feel like you're getting your ankles broken by Kyrie Irving. Some test questions will juke you out of your soul if you're unprepared. However, if you take practice tests and/or just have a good conceptual understanding of the material you'll make an A.

Professor Hanssen is great- he's very smart and makes the class interesting. I figured I would be able to do well in this class with an average amount of effort.. which proved to be wrong. Be prepared to study a lot, but know that by the end of the course, you will have ninja microecon skills.

Dr. Hansen is amazing! He makes econ easy to understand and provides lots of in class questions to make sure you understand the material. As long as you read the textbook, do the practice questions, and take good notes, this class will be a snap. I didn't much like the mandatory TA sections but I may have just lucked out with a bad TA.

Professor Hanssen is very well respected. He uses examples that makes Econ more understandable. He is an amazing teacher, but his tests are very difficult. However, he gives practice tests that are very similar to the actual test which is very helpful. The TA sessions can be a bit annoying, but if you are blessed with a good TA it can be helpful.

I really enjoy Mr. Hanssen. He is very knowledgeable and teaches well. He does a lot of iClicker questions in class which help immensely. He seems like one of those professors who actually wants his students to learn well. His tests are exactly like the questions he puts up in class, so go to class. Also, try to sit near the front to hear.

Great professor! He has a really dry sense of humor which makes his lectures interesting and funny. He was my favorite professor this semester.

Super nice guy. Class is decently easy. Provides a pdf textbook so you dont have to buy it. We're supposed to read the textbook every class, but I've never opened it. His tests are hard but if you study the hws and the practice tests you'll be fine. The hws are completion grades and pretty easy. Just one each week.

Great lectures, uses iClicker questions to make sure you come. Classes twice a week in lecture hall and once a week with a TA in a much smaller class. Graded on three exams and a final, the discussion section which gives book homework, and iClicker questions.

Go to lectures. Explains the material well and relate it to the real world. The tests are difficult and your grade will drop a lot if you do poorly.

Yes, all he does is talk and sometimes his lectures may be boring but he is very knowledgeable about economics. He uses real world examples and there is plenty of extra credit given. The class can be confusing and that is why you should attend every lecture. His slides and iClicker questions were helpful. Study for the exams!

Readings before each class but most material taught through lectures. Graded heavily on three exams but provided good practice exams that greatly helped with each test. Your TA could make or break the course for you - no contact with Hanssen only your TA. Extra points added to each exam with opportunity for exemption from the final.

Hanssen is a great lecturer who makes his lectures engaging and informative with loads of real life examples. The tests, however, are very tricky. You need to consult more than just notes to succeed. Go to TA sessions and study very hard for each exam and you should be fine. He's a little forgiving/curved a test 1 pt and has a small EC opportunity.

This class was a little challenging because the tests were difficult, but professor Hanssen has lectures with really good information and makes sure to include exam questions in his lectures. As long as you study and go to office hours, you should do well.

I really don't know why people hate on Hanssen so much for micro. Lectures are actually pretty interesting. He posts a question bank with every possible exam question. Thoroughly read through it before each exam--- this helps TREMENDOUSLY. Half of the exam questions are on there. TA session is helpful. I ended with a B+ and he curved to an A.

The lectures can get boring but he's a pretty funny guy. I would go to office hours for both him and your TA to do well in the class. Attendance is based off iclicker so just go to class and pay attention you'll be fine.

Professor Hanssen is great! He's a really good lecturer and is super funny! Your grade is based heavily on 3 exams and the final, so there's not a ton of room to make up for it if you happen to bomb one. But he posts practice exams that are exactly like the real ones, so you should do super well if you study and use those.

I took Professor Hanssen's class my first semester Freshman year, and I didn't struggle all that much. I will say I had previously taken Macroeconomics in high school so that definitely gave me an advantage. Although all of Hanssen's classes are lectures he makes it fun, and understandable and it's not that boring.

While this class was difficult Professor Hanssen was a good instructor as he kept lectures interesting and gave you all the materials you needed to succeed in the class. Exams are the most difficult part of the class, however if you go through all the practice questions and make sure you do the assigned readings you will be fine.

This class was easy and had a light courseload. Just make sure to read the textbook each week, and you will be fine. His lectures were very engaging and helpful. Make sure to volunteer for class exercises for extra credit. The exams are just like the practice questions, so study those.

Lectures can be a bit fast but are generally easy to follow. It's important to attend class for iClicker points (which are mostly easy to get) as well as to understand the course material. Make sure to get your homework in on time and do the extra credit that will be offered at the end of the semester. Tests are long and you will need to study.

Very knowledgeable about economics, the TA you are assigned will definitely make or brake your experience. Overall, I was able to understand micro a lot better after taking his class. Tests come almost word-for-word from the study guides he gives out.

I loved Professor Hanssen! Lectures were interesting and he clearly cares about what hes talking about. You have to study for his tests but he literally gives you the exact questions that will be on the test to study with so it's really not that hard. Worst part about this class is the TA sections but that just depends on what TA you have.

Prof. Hanssen is a great guy. The topics of the class aren't hard at all, the hard part are the exams, which are full of questions worded purposefully to confuse you. It's very discouraging when you understand the topics but your grade doesn't reflect it.

Andy is a great guy he keeps us engaged in lectures. iClicker is hard but doesnt count much for grades so don't be discouraged. I dont agree with his grading system. TA sections have to average to 75 so even if you do well that grade will go down. His practice questions got me through the class since the same questions are on the quizzes and exams.
