The concepts covered in this class are fairly straightforward and everything is covered thoroughly to insure everyone understands. If you show up to class and copy down the models you will have do fine. The professor is extremely easy to get in touch with and willing to stay after class to clarify anything you don't understand.

Professor Patterson is one of the most unique teachers that I have ever taken. He uses humor indirectly to keep attention on an otherwise bland topic. His organization of the course required no homework, therefore i would recommend studying for the quizzes. Overall, Professor Patterson was a good professor and I walked away understanding Macroecon.

Whenever someone doesnt understanding a topic in lecture, Professor Patterson took the time to help the student understand. He doesnt make lecture boring, in fact quite the opposite but takes the class seriously. He goes back and forth between the text and notes which makes it earlier to understand. Also doing the graphs also helps.

Professor Patterson can be unorganized at times but is clear on what he expects out of you & what will be on Mid-term & final, gives multiple extra credit opportunities. Quizzes are online & he does 4 articles for the whole semester. Lecture is heavyish (take good notes). He likes participation and makes class enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Professor Patterson is great! The world needs more professors like him because he brings a subject that most students dread to a subject that a student can learn to enjoy. This subject means more than getting a degree it is real-life material that everyone should know, and him taking the time to help his students understand says a lot about him!

First time having taking this class, enjoyed it while it lasted. Test questions derived from spoken lecture. Prof keeps his student engaged in the conversation, always lending a helping hand, and willing to give out extra credit to see his students succeed. His teaching style is adequate with his detailed explanations and well-constructed graphs.

He was a funny dude, but when it came to grades.... GOOD LUCK. My man would have 2 big test, and they are 100 points each. He lectured, and then would have to read the text to get goods grade. He was a funny guy, but the grades are hard to get.

We had weekly quizzes (10 points), 4 short articles (20 points), midterm and final exams (100 points), and generous opportunities to earn bonus points. Professor Patterson is very nice and has a great sense of humor. 100% would take this course again!

He is a great professor. He knows what he is talking about and is able to put it in real life terms. My only complaint is that he is not the best at responding outside of class and not fully clear on feedback sometimes. Otherwise, I would definitely take him again and he makes lectures enjoyable (who knew that would be possible...).

I wish I had him as my professor before. The exams are high points but don't sweat it, he reviews anything you don't understand before the exam. He also gives extra credit.
