helpful and entertaining prof

Read each chapter and do all of the problems in the textbook/study guide and you'll get an A. This is how every class should be. He can get off topic, but its usually more interesting than the actual course material, so I was fine with it.

One of the few instructors that is actually passionate about the topic and relates it to current events. Goes beyond the book in lectures. Yes he is monotone and if you're not interested in the subject you'll get bored. Not hard just read chapters if you dont get it. FUNNY GUY!

Good prof. Well prepared and excellent lectures. Had a great time in this class.

His class is not difficult, he will not spoon feed you everything so if you do not read the book, do study questions and/or online questions you won't get a good grade. Fair marker, easy to understand and well summarized notes. The thing is you will have to do work outside the class in order to get a good grade. Don't be lazy and you'll be fine.

nice guy class is boring just self-study not that hard

I took his class and ended up with an A+ at the end. I saw a lot of my classmates hating this guy while he did everything he could have done as your Econ prof. Problem is students come to lecture and except to know everything after but forget the fact that course is accompanied by a textbook which you should read page to page to be able to pass!

I took his course, and scored perfect. He does over-explain points, which makes it really boring, but they are important points. Many people fail his class because they can't sit through class and thus stop going to classes. All his test questions are from class material.

Gray is often given a hard time by students, but he is probably one of the most fair and accommodating profs I've had at Langara. Attending his lectures are optional in my opinion, I mostly self-learned from the textbook, study guide, and his practice questions. Practice questions are essential!

He is a very very nice teacher. His lecture is great. It is important to go to class because notes are important Midterm format is like the practise test format First midterm lots of people did very bad. He ended up counting top two highest midterms out of the 3 midterms. If you read the textbook and know the notes well you can do well.

Really a great teacher easy tests also

Possibly my favorite Langara teacher. Funny, VERY accessible to answer any questions or even just to chat about economics-related stuff, Not difficult to get 100% so long as you attend class and sit in the first few rows--unless you already understand everything. Test format and grading criteria super clear

One of the best macro instructors at Langara. His online videos were very helpful, but in the end he started to not post them. Lectures ended up being sometimes rushed. He showed enthusiasm when teaching and gave clear notes on what to study for tests.

He's very passionate about economics which made me want to learn. I've seen some reviews on here about him being scattered but for me it just seemed like enthusiasm about the material. Microeconomics is an incredibly difficult topic and he does everything he can to help his students and make the topics digestible to beginners.

Best instructor in Langara. Good job Gray. Keep you good work. He is clear, he will tell you what kinds of questions in the exam and tests.

Okay yes this teacher gets off track easily, but trust me hes easier than other professors when it comes to ECON. His test is literally one page DOUBLE SIDED, which is MUCH easier than other professors who gives u tests that are AT LEAST 4 pages long.

Good instructor. Wants students to succeed. Use office hours. Read the book. Do the questions on MyEconLab. Pay attention. You'll pass the class. Do a bit more and you should get an A.

Ian taking his Microeconomics class right now. He is very caring for his students. He makes sure you understand the materials. Definitely would take his class again.

He's passionate. I'll give him that. Like to go on about the subject at hand, doesn't necessarily go on tangents TOO often. I found him a burst of energy for a morning class. Was very considerate about us students and all around a great guy. His enthusiasm is contagious, that's for sure.

He is a very helpful prof!

Gray is a great guy! He is very passionate and emotional about what he is talking about. I took his half-online course, so in the in-class lectures he assumes that the students have watched the video lecture upfront, otherwise the material will be unclear. Gray gets very disappointed when people are talking in class, which is understandable.

He is a really really nice instructor. Exams are so easy compared with other sections.

In class he gets off topic and is hard to follow, but his lecture videos on d2l are really helpful. If you do the in class worksheets, the textbook exercises and practice quizzes then the exams will be fairly easy.

You won't meet a professor that is more passionate about economics. His lectures are quite entertaining. One of the more test-light courses I've taken. Not really any homework. Only 2 major exams (mid-term and final) and 4 quizzes. It's up to you to stay on top of the studying, which you'll be awarded with a great mark if you do.

Gray deserves a much higher rating than he was given credit for. As long as you go to class to fill out notes, read the textbook, you will do well in the class!! Lectures are dry, but come on, its econ. His exams are one page double-sided, and they look almost identical to his in-class notes. Many ppl skip class, thus has no idea what to expect.

Gray is my favorite eco professor. hes so hilarious and the most enthusiastic one. Easy to pass. Gray definitely deserve a better rating

As long as you understand his worksheets, you will get 90+. He is really caring.

He is very knowledgeable and truly cares about students. His online lectures are nice and grading criteria are clear. I want to take more Econ courses with him.

His online lectures are great. As long as you do the worksheets and assignments, you won't see much different on the exams. He is very caring and will take the time to ensure you understand the material.

Good teacher he looks and sounds like Caitlin Jenner other than that he is easy just do your work.

gives good feedback

Gray is a great instructor. These ratings mostly reflect when he was unorganized I presume. He seems to have learnt from feedback and now has organized lectures that were clear and lots of practice questions. Approachable and tests were straightforward. I guess I wish he was a bit more energetic in his lectures as he talks pretty slow.

He is quite clear at explaining the subject but, you need more work outside the class if you want to get a good score. He only explains the beginning of the chapter then you need to catch up on the rest of the chapter by yourself. The exams are also really hard so bear with it.

Lecture videos were a blessing. Easy to learn from and outlines the course concepts very eloquently. Tests were harder than any of the quizzes or assignments yet they prepared you for the exams. You get out what you put in with this guy.

I LOVE GRAY! I took both micro and macro with him. 5/5 for Gray but the course was quite hard. You have to put in the work to understand the macro concepts because Economics is generally not easy. Weekly quzzies were straight forward and exams had questions from mylab practice questions. I would take every class with Gray if i could. TAKE HIM!

Gray is amazing, a passionate instructor, and a fair grader. His class isn't that hard, but if you want to get a good grade, you definitely need to work hard! He always tries to help students as much as possible and provides supplemental materials to help you understand better. I don't know why some students give him such a low score.

I liked him. Very passionate about the topic and is willing to help you. if you do the practice questions and put the work in you'll get a good grade. Lectures can be boring. he doesn't post the notes online so its helpful to attend class. it moved at a good pace so I could take the time to understand the material. I'd take his class again

He often goes off topic in class, but he posts all his lecture videos online, which I find helpful for exams. I learned everything from his lecture videos, which are short and clearly explain the topic. I didn't attend any of his classes but still got a good grade, so work hard in this course and stop blaming the teacher.

He is amazing teacher. I am an international student and my English is very poor, so actually I cannot understand his lectures at first. His notes and instructional videos are very organized and they help me a lot. He is caring. If not taking his courses, I might not get this grade.

Gray is a wonderful teacher! He's super kind and doesn't mind explaining topics to you after class or during his office hours. He always tries to break things down and make them easier to understand which I appreciate! It's a test heavy class where your grade is made up of 3x test which is a bit heavy but practise the do the exercises and practice

He's a funny guy who yaps quite a bit during lectures (stopped coming in after some weeks), but he cares for students and is a reasonably good prof overall. I think the course itself isn't exactly the easiest to begin with but he tries his best

Good instructor, only critique I have is that he goes very slow over the easiest concepts and by the end of class he is rushing to finish the chapter. Otherwise the class is pretty simple, basically just microeconomics but with basic calculus and his exams and quizzes have some questions that are identical to the practice ones he gives out.
