He rarely responds to emails, and when he does, they're one word answers with the "sent from my ipad" signature. He's very uncaring towards his students and clearly does not put much effort into the class. He teaches by reading off of powerpoints from the book company. If you go to office hours, he says "this could have been done over email"...

DO NOT take this professor. He could care less about his students and their grades. He is rude and does not care to offer the slightest bit of help to his students. The fact that he still has a job amazes me. I failed his class and had to retake the course with another instructor. With a different instructor I have an A in the course.

Final format matched none of the other test formats. Was WAY harder. Grades on a scale so an 87 is an A. Offers extra credit, do it because the final is ridiculous. Can skip class whenever. All powerpoints are online. No tests are cumulative. Kind of boring to listen too. He loves economics. Shares some fun facts.

Be prepared to take a test that only looks at one or two formulas. Lectures are a chore and are not clear or well designed. If you can take someone else, do it. I've never had a problem with understanding economics until I took him.

Tests are barely based on lectures and are much more about the texts. If you miss anything, do not ask to retake it or any help with it as he will not help you. I was discouraged from the start.

Requires you to come to class every day. He will only give you two unexcused absences no matter what. You better take advantage of tutors and make sure you study every day.

If you can avoid this professor you should. The test are nothing like the notes, you will have to read the text book and do the homeworks multiple times to study for exams or you will not pass them. He gives an extra credit opportunity but other than that he does not want to help his students and will not curve grades.
