The classes are pointless, focus on what is on mystatlab. All of the tests and homework are based on it and Coleman spends most of the class going off on his own tangents and barely ever covers any useful information. However he allows you to take the tests multiple times and then takes your best grades. The class is easy if you do the homework.

Classes aren't pointless, just Colman makes it easy to slack off. If you pay attention you can learn.

If you don't pay attention you can easily teach yourself from mystatlab, tests are straight from the HW problems there

Colman is knowledgeable about Economics, but you will never go through a class without hearing 1 - 5 personal (but funny) stories of his.

Colman has a great personality and always has something funny to say. However, his lectures are dense, and his handwriting and organization can make you confused at times. He barely posts HW on MyEconLab and is very tentative when giving quizzes/tests. He doesn't reflect a lot of what we learned from class on quizzes/tests, but he's one of a kind.
