cool guy, alot of experience, DO NOT BUY TEXT BOOK, overall average prof

easy! similar to past tests, but unorganized and hard to understand.

he is a very good eco prof compare to all other eco profs that i have had in the past!! and he is very funny,too.

he's a really special prof. he explains the concept in a way that they cannot be memorized but have to be understood. it's different from typical teaching style. I found it interesting and easier than other prof. ps. ignore the textbook!

Knowledgeable, approachable, interesting… makes the classes interesting with anecdotes and easy to understand. Sometimes he speaks too fast, but that does not affect the learning experience. Overall an excellent prof. One you’ll remember f

An Extreme Caitalist...

This man is the cause for my infactuation with Economics. Truly the best! I have nothing but positive comments to state about him as a professor (interesting, clear, and provides excellent insights)... can someone please close the door? *COUGH*

definitely one of the best teachers I ever had in my four years of U.

teaches with interest

*i'm gonna argue* that he's absolutely the best! very insightful and clear, his stories make the lectures fun and the concepts understandable so that we can approach his problems *intuitively*! i never went to ecoman sessions but still got 95+! he rocks!!

Best economics prof ever!

brilliant, brilliant man. he's the reason i'm majoring in economics. tests are damn easy and predictable, with ecoman's tests. take carr's course, if you can.

Good prof, very enthusiastic about the course. He's the reason why I like economics.

The best uh uh uh uh uhhhhhhhhhhhh prof uh uh ever. He has a passion for what he is doing, and that rubs off onto the students...he's funny, AWESOME lecturer, and "i would argue that" he's probably the best around on campus or ever. Great man.

The best economics professor at U of T. He is helpful, clear, and enjoys lecturing. His tests are very fair. Always take his section if he's available.

his lectures are very enjoyable and teaches with passion and he clearly conveys all the theories to students in a very clear and articulate manner

he's a great prof overall.

He is a good professor... I liked his lectures, although his handwritings were often not clear (as everybody else complain!). But he teaches with actual examples in real world, which is more interesting than just theory.

professor carr is by far the best prof i have ever had. he is passionate and very engaging. you will not fall asleep in his class. his passion for economics is very contagious. amazing prof.

He's a very goof prof! I learned SO much about Economics in his class...I was not excited AT ALL about economics before taking it, but Carr made the class enjoyable, easy to follow, and he really encouraged debate and discussion! CHOOSE HIM!

Excellent professor. Try to get his section if at all possible. No need to get the text, all you need to know for the test he teaches in class! Also, tests are pretty much the same from year to year, so if you buy (or photocopy) ECOMAN's past tests you'll be fine.

This prof tests on theory rather than numerical calculations, that might not be good if you intend to continue in economics, but overall his teaching sparked my interest in economics.

Excellent prof! Uses same funny examples in both courses! :D His TA's can be a **** with marking but u always know what's his "perfect answer." In ECO 209, always uses "True, False or Uncertain" format where "no marks for T/F/U, all marks for explanation!" He's predictable & you don't need the textbook... Just come to class & buy ECOMAN tests!

A very enthusiastic/funny lecturer. Tests were fair and very similiar to past years' tests.

awesome; very clear insights and good examples. doesnt use complicated math but examinations are very hard.

Eventhough the prof is very helpful and very easy, somebody has to tell him that this is not the course to impose his capitalistic views to undergrads. He once said "if you want to save trees, use more and more paper". He is obsessed with free trade and capitalistic views. needs to focus on teaching the basics rather than imposing views.

Absolutely fantastic lecturer. BEWARE, however, of his tests. They don't test your knowledge of the material; they test your ability to refute ridiculous statements in the precise way he would, and his TAs are not kind. If you're in it for the marks, you should probably go with another prof.

Ok, i dont know what the other guy is talking about... Honestly, Prof. Carr is a fantastic lecturer! Study his past tests exams and you'll do fine as he repeats many of his questions. The only thing is that if you go into his class with no or little political knowledge you become a libertarian. Otherwise, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Not extremely organized, interesting lectures, not really approachable, but his tests are ok, not hard compare to the other profs. My first test was belled by 18%, but be aware of the 2nd test cuz he doesnt tend to bell the 2nd

He is the best ECO100 instructor for those students whose main goal is to gain a broad, conceptual understanding of basic economic principles. If you're looking for a mathematical approach, Carr will disappoint. But if you want a really good introduction to economics without any of the equations, he's great. Plenty of equations in higher years.

Wonderful instructor! Lectures are clear and interesting...

Explains the best and really enthusiastic. Will answer all your questions

Intelligent, interesting, engaging. Generally very understandable. Be warned though: Let's just say he's a little more Stephen Harper than Jack Layton. "If you love trees use more paper" - that was my favourite.

Although Professor Carr's notes was a little messey, specially during the last five minutes, he explained and communicated very well. His wisdom, knowledge and teaching skills showed every lecture. Also even with the large class, he went out of his way to answer the students questions weather during or after class. So far the best prof I had!

NICE PROFESSOR, EASY TESTS BUT A VERY HARD EXAM...MY MARK DROPPED FROM 87 TO 70 ...

this guys the best!

he is the best prof. in using bell curve.

Prof Carr was by far my best professor in first year. If anyone can make economics interesting, accessible, and still manage to take questions in a class of 500 they are a fine prof in my books. Keep it going Jack, You are an AMAZING prof. To those who say he is hard, go to class more often.

He is a really good prof, those who only desire a simple introduction to economic should definitely take the course.

Great prof, able to make dry material interesting. He hums and haws a bit, but is a brilliant professor. Make sure to ask him any questions you have, he is great and will answer all questions he can during lecture. Carr is top notch!!

Very experienced professor, he got his PhD since 1971, long time, loved how he applied economic concept into real life, interesting to go to his class, one of my best prof in 1st year.

nice prof but hard test

One of the best profs. NOT because he's easy, but character. Used to work for US government, smart guy but humble about it,doesn't act like it. Funny person and it's not artificial sense of humour; he's just a funny person! He's retiring soon; I suggest you take a course with him before you regret. Highly recommend, no regrets, wish him the best.

I think he is one of the best profs i came across at UofT. He took a lot of interest in teaching us and was very adaptable to all kind of questions. Yes he has a similar kind of testing method but prior preparation is must to do well. Recommended 100% not sure tho if he is still teaching.

Texts were completely ignored and in fact a distraction. Lectures were great!
