Professor Hasan is a really nice person, he is easy going and will give a lot of extra credit in this class. The class itself is not hard since its only a 1 level course, if you are ok with microecon you will be good for this. Im sorry to hear the other persons situation, but i think homework is still required for complete a course.

His class is super great! He offers attendance bonus points through Socrative and you can still earn points even if you miss the questions. He also allows you to get the most points out of your homework attempts instead of the average, as well as offering partial credit for late homework.

A really nice guy but a pretty dull lecturer. Luckily his exams are super easy and he's really generous with extra credit, so it's not like he made life difficult. His lectures just tend to be pretty slow and repetitive, which I guess could be good if you're having trouble understanding but most of the time it just ended up boring.

I would definitely recommend taking Hasan for EC 110. He sends out practice tests before each exam which have 80% of the same questions as the real exam and his review sessions before the tests are very helpful. His lectures are boring but you can pass without attending. His is very nice and only gives homework once a week and it is usually easy.

Hasan is the worst professor I've had at Bama so far. In my experience, his lectures have little to no correlation to homework assignments. You only get the "extra credit" for attendance if you get the correct answers on his daily Socrative quizzes, which he doesn't show. The textbook "required" is never mentioned in class and barely helps.

Pretty laid-back professor who knows what he's talking about but he's still young and would come to class at times less prepared. Graded completely on homework and exams but all of which you could either look up or study fairly easily.

Hasan is a great teacher and gives out a ton of extra credit (i received ~15 points on my overall average just from extra credit alone). He gives extra credit just for attending class and answering a question, as well as extra credit on the exams. He does curve the exams as well. Also his practice exams are similar to the real ones.

EC111 isn't too difficult, and Prof. Isomitdinov gave many extra credit opportunities. However, final grades are not rounded, no matter how close you are to the next letter grade. I was 0.01% away from an A+, but my grade was not rounded. For this reason I recommend attending class and paying attention to earn as much extra credit as possible.

He does a great job at reviewing his notes and laying out what is needed for the tests. He lets out early sometimes, but he cares and is very empathetic when helping students. He also is very funny and connects well with the students throughout the class. Would 10/10 recommend him to anyone looking to take an Econ class!

Hasan is my favorite professor. Would recommend taking him (took him for 110 as well.) EC 413 is a difficult class. Didn't know any coding but he made me literate in 1 sem. The first written exam was insanely hard but I recovered back to an A. Material is hard but it is directly applicable to real life jobs. A valuable class, but a tough one.

EC413 was probably the hardest class I have taken at UA by far. It was a ton of coding, but I definitely took away a lot from this class. I ended with a B+ but this was the only class where I felt like the stuff I learned was more important than the grade I received. I would say take it only if you are actually willing to put in the work.

Super easy class if you do the practice tests and homework/read the powerpoints. Also go to class and do iclicker for easy extra credit.

I would recommend him just will require some outside studying. 4 test 20% each. HW 20%. Bonus for attending. Optional cumul. rev. test after final that can replace lowest test
