Professor Beto is the by far the best Econ professor i have taken. He is easy to talk to and helps you if you do not understand the work. he tells you exactly what to expect and he stays consistent with that. Majority of the work does come from the textbook. I really enjoyed taking his class this passed summer 2020. -Sergio R

I took ECON202M during the Summer term so naturally a lot of work was packed into a short amount of time but as long as you stay on top of deadlines and review the syllabus and due dates on the first day you should be fine Prof. Beto is very helpful and truly wants all students to succeed always offering help inside and out of class

Since this class was remote and in the summer, Professor Berto helped in any way possible to help students succeed in this course. Such as quickly responding to any emails, extending deadlines for assignments, and was very approachable through online lectures. This was my first Econ class and I would gladly take it again.
