He is friendly and nice.

He speaks less than he moves. Unclear and extremely boring. :(:(:( After cancelling many calsses, it is not hard for him to teach the entire course in one day.
Easy course and an excellent teacher.
a very good prof but he talks a lot about politics. he is a nice guy overall and he will help you if you need help, also he will clarify what’s on the Exam. I recommend him for students
stay away
he was the best!!! he'll tell you exactly what'll be on the final exam. He's very helpful
Very interesting and educated fellow, thoroughly enjoyed his class
I found Macro a very difficult subject. Although, he was a realy nice, easy, and educated guy
He's the best! Very helpful and approachable, will make class interesting. Tells you exactly what to study. Such a nice guy too.
He's highly knowlegable about the course. If you are unclear about any of the concepts, he is VERY approachable, and will help you out, w/o making you feel stupid. Gives VERY detailed outline for the exam. His only fault is he may go off-topic sometimes.
very intelligent professor,try to make it easy for everyone.
he's too educated, makes it seem really hard. He doesn't actually teach, he just has you memorize
Very nice guy. Very very detailed midterm/exam outlines. But you better bring a pillow to class.
Very intelligent, smart prof. recommend taking both micro and macro economics with him.
Excellent teacher, makes the subject matter RELEVANT by giving detailed politically related examples. He strives to ensure your understanding. Can sometimes stray from topic and is very forthcoming with his far-left opinion (it's appreciated though). A little bias never killed anyone. Very interesting discussions in class.
Nice guy, very helpful. Easily side-tracked but gives lots of relevant examples. Doesn't always take up the homework, but very open to discussion and questions.
Nice guy, very knowledgeable but easily side-tracked. More than fair with his tests and marks. Doesn't always go over the homework but more than happy to answer questions.
Amazing Prof...Extremely easy!. This prof. knows his stuff and knows it well. If you take any economic class w/ him ur bound to pass-- B/ he only teaches Micro and Macro Economics---Wich Totally Sucks!
An amazing person, very intelligent, and he really cares about his students. He tends to get off topic, but he can be pretty funny when he does. "The answer is D like donut!"
I hated microeconomics and dropped it and took macro instead. Had him as my prof. and the class was interesting. Caring prof. Definetly worth taking!
Nice guy. Goes off topic a lot. Very willing to help and answer questions. Tests pretty easy.
very good and freindly prof.once ulsiten to his lectures everything fals in plac and is passionate abt his work.Must take class with him if you want to understand univeristy level teaching he is that good at ecn.
took macro and micro with him. Great professor. recommended for any economics course.
He is great..very helpfull...understandable....easy to learn from........i would suggest all economics studets to take him....
Very clear, focused and interesting delivery of the material. Very helpful.
I was totally unenthusiastic about this subject until I was in this class. Just excellent! He really wants you to do well!
BEST PROF EVER EVER EVER! he's wayyyy tooo nice! and if u have ANY problem, he's very approachable, and he won't judge! take his class if u can, show him that ur putting some effort and ur interested, and u will get an A!
Wants his students to do well, thorough in his teachings, test/exams are fair, textbook isn't so bad either.
You have to try super hard not to get an A in this course
What can I say about this man? Intelligent, confident and very helpful. I got B+ in his class even though I screwed up on the midterm. Read the book, attend lectures, and do the homework. I recommend you take him to learn and at the same time to get good marks. Overall excellent teacher!!!
amazing proff ...
took 104 with himm...BEST PROFFFFF INNNN RYERSON :D:D:D....now taking 204....hes really good..very nice...straight forward....and very clear about his exams...TELLS US EVERYTHING ABOUT IT :D:D..trust me take him....i love him
He is the best ever........
he is the best proff ever!!!! Very helpful....I dont like Economics at all but still end up with a good grade....take him :D
This dude is jokes...He's sometimes hard to understand, but knows his stuff. If you know politics then your definitely gona get along with him. He gives out easy marks, so if your in class everyday then expect your self getting over B+.
Very good prof. he knws his material so well and very helpful. just attend his class and u will be fine. A great prof that u don't want to miss!!!
The best liberal I have ever taken hands down. His tests are fair. His lectures are good and makes you interested. I wish all my liberals were with this prof.
Very flexible prof, asks students what chapters should be on exams, what dates are best, etc. Good prof but VERY disorganized. Exam included questions from previous chapter he said would not be on that test. Mark is 3 exams and one project/presentation. Definitely recommended as a prof and the course as a liberal. Easy mark.
Very easy prof. You really don't have to attend classes, just study from the text. The only real use in going to class is to get hints on what will be on the tests/exams because he will tell you exactly what to study (for the most part). I knew nothing about economics and ended with an A. Textbook is a must.
A professor who has a big heart to those non-serious students. His classes are long but we learned more than from books. Very a few students left early during his lectures. Very helpful and friendly professor. His non-repeatable good taste shirts are very impressed too ;)
You dont really have to attend class except to know what chapters to study (less than stated syllabus). Easy Marker. Very socialist orientation, the textbook is written by someone from the U.N! One quiz, two tests and an assignment. Frankly, a *very easy* liberal by a very easygoing prof. Doubt the course will stretch your mind though.
One of the more educated professors teaching at Ryerson U. He is really willing to teach and listen to his students. There was one quiz, midterm, group project and presentation. I would recommend all of you to take this course as an upper elective.
The most amazing prof!enjoyed his class a lot!the way he combines course work with real life examples is VERY helpful and interesting. would definitely recommend it..
he is a awesome..take his class definitely. he is extremely helpful. answers all questions with clarity and will continue to explain until you get it..i wish every professor was like him at ryerson!
BEST PROF OUT THERE!!!!!!..you take this class...and u just feel as if hes more than a friend to you than a teacher..hes lovely!!!!
Like other comments stated, this prof is very easy. He tends to off topic easily and his class is a bit of a joke. It's not worth attending, you'll be bored out of your mind. As easy as this prof is, I wouldn't say he's a good prof---if you're trying to learn (which seems to be most of the class)
excellent prof. the best professor u will ever find at Ryerson :) I would love to take another classes with him, just that I already finished my ECN104,204 and lower liberals :] recommend him!!!!!!
Cool dude, just makes me wonder if at all he gets angry..Want an A+ take his class!!!
Great Professor! I learned more about economics with so much interest. He made the course less complex to make sure his students understand the material fully. Attend his lectures (so much fun), read a bit, work on problems given by him and on line, you'll end up with an A. There are no tricks with this guy, everything is straight forward!!!!
Great Prof!!!!! He's very helpful and wants you to succeed in his class. The accent may be a little hard to understand at times but overall a great prof and would take his classes again!!!!
THIS IS THE BESTTTTT PROF Ryerson ever had!!! He's such an amazing and peaceful man! complete sweetheart and SOO DOWN TO EARTH!! Goes above and beyond for his students!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
This man is amazing. So down to earth, even though attending class isn't a priority...you'll want to because he's so interesting!!!!! Take the course with him. You will not regret :)
BY FAR THE BESTEST prof Ryerson has ever had. He should teach full-time. Hayani is the MANNNNNN!
Best Professor ever. He is really interested in student performance and makes the class for every one. He also tells a lot of funny stories and is passionate about world events.
Very EASY prof.. trust me, you cant get an easier prof than this for ANY ecn course. Attend the class (especially before any midterm/exam/quizzes) because he tells u EXACTLY what to study. Hell tell u what questions r coming for the exam. And he also gives one/two MC questions as a bonus before the exam/midterm as a freebie.. Ull love this prof!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR IN RYERSON!! WANT AN A+ TAKE HIM!! EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL! HE KNOWS HIS STUFF! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM
SICKK PROF TAKE THIS CLASS IF U WANT AN A+
Course outline states group project 30% with presentation 15% then midterm, quizzes, and final. Uses Questions from bank... Easy A+
I'd suggest it for an UL, it's actually the most compelling liberal I've taken at Ryerson. Hayani is very friendly and charismatic Easy A+ just look at notes no need to buy text.
This prof is the man...IF U WANT AN A+ TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HIM! ENUF SAID!
Just took this course in spring, and I must say this prof is amazing...teaches really good...you learn a lot from this course and its all from his notes so no need to buy textbook waste of money!
INCREDIBLE MAN!! so down to earth. u can talk to him abt anything! love this man
BEST proff at Ryerson. Officially THE MOST HELPFUL guy out there. Go to his class and keep close communication with him, you will GUARANTEE ace this course. He's fantastic and knows his stuff really well. 10/10 proff... Im an Accounting major, and I decided to minor in Economics which is relevant, but just because of this proff. He's awesome!
The best professor I have had at Ryerson so far. Explains well, provides helpful homework assignments, very friendly and helpful. The midterms and final exam wer all multiple choice, and reasonably easy to understand if you had done the reading/attended class.
I took Course with him in suumer. He is best prof I've ever met. If you want to learn something and receive good grade, then take him. Planning on taking another course with him in a fall.
Very very easy going prof, kind personality. His test are very fair, so long as you study an A- is attainable.
A very friendly and easy Prof
I've taken two econ classes with this prof. He is hands down the nicest and most helpful professor ever! He is SOOO patient and doesn't mind explaining things again to make sure everyone understands. It's too bad some of the students are SO rude in his class because what he talks about is RELEVANT and will help you! I def. recommend him!
VERY helpful, and soooo kind, it's impossible to get below an A, his teSts are super fair, and his class is SO interesting! Definitely taking more courses with him
he is the worst prof i ever had
THE NICEST MOST INTELLIGENT MAN I HAVE EVER MET! he is so helpful... i didnt know professors like him existed.. study a little and go to class it is impossible to poorly. this prof is a blessing to ryerson...
I'm going to be real with everyone this professor is made for some but not for others. If you can study/learn well without attending class then you will do well because his exams are super easy. If you need help from a professor to understand course content and need clarification BEWARE. He is very confusing and there is no structure or notes.
He's retired but teaches the occasional class through continuing education. His accent makes him difficult to understand, and he's reluctant to maintain discipline which makes it difficult when some individuals disrupt class by chatting. He's reasonably flexible and willing to meet to discuss any issues and answer questions.
Took his class twice. Nice guy, but he can't teach. Never uses the book. Not clear. Easy marker. Id say if theres another teacher that actually teaches take them. You're basically guessing throughout the course. If you're good at learning from pp slides then go for it. Good luck!
This guy is an angel
Excellent professor, very clear and precise and gets the information across however he may sometimes drift away a little. Get to know the professor as he is a friendly and charming professor.
Exams are very doable and he has a passion and zeal for the subject matter which made the classes very interesting. To top it all off, just a fantastic human being, very empathetic and easy going. One of the few classes where I felt my efforts being represented properly by the mark I received. Fair marker, fair exams, what else could you ask for?
If you do not take him, you will make a big mistake.
NICEST MAN EVER, cares for everyone's success in the class and will do anything to help you succeed!! Has a cute little accent, very approachable and always willing to go above and beyond to help his students. Biggest mistake if you don't take the course with him. Absolute sweetheart!!
Dr. Hayani has been one of the best professors I have ever had at Ryerson. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Economics of Immigration and it is very obvious in his lectures as he presents the course with great enthusiasm. He genuinely cares for his students and will go beyond his call to ensure success.
Professor Hayani is great. I had Economics with him at Seneca college. He knows everything and his method of teaching is great. Quiz in class helped a lot to learn the material. His was always there for students. I wish to have another class with him in near future.
Best prof I've had at Ryerson. He's vibrant full of energy and goes off on tangents. Great life examples on real world issues. He makes funny jokes and is very opinionated about his beliefs against communism and why freedom and education are integral for society.I learnt a lot from his class. Not only about Microeconomics in 6 weeks but about life.
Awesome professor
Awesome professor and he is very patient with his students!Take him!
best prof ever
Professor Hayani is one of the best teachers I had during my college life at Seneca College. He always took the time to explain everything in detail, and never got upset when I interrupted him to ask questions during class. I would be happy to have classes from him in the future.
I recommend everybody take his class, he cares his student so much and his assignment is easy to understand because he explains everything so clearly
Great professor who cares about students. Assignments are easy to understand thanks to clear explanations. unstuck ai was a helpful tool for prep alongside the free textbook.
