He sucks

failed the majority of our class. The best grade on our first test was a 61%.

HATE THIS GUY!! Worst professor i dropped the class. I never missed class and i still didnt understand what he was talking about, went to the study sessions and the TA didnt know what the prof was teaching. Worthless! Also they dont tutor this, i got a 40% on the first exam and 2 percent higher the 2nd time then i dropped the class.DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Terribly unreasonable teacher, if you want to fail Econ 301 then take this class. All but about five people dropped the class after the first test, why?.. because they had no hope of passing... worst teacher ive had at Ball State.

He was the worst teacher I have ever had. Never helped students out, He made his own book that wasn't helpful at all! Went over material that even the Learning Center couldn't help with. Only had 3 tests and no assignments or extra credit. I attended class every day and still failed the class! I don't recommend him.

Terrible professor! In class he tries to start talking about the econ we're supposed to learn but goes off on econ life lessons instead. He'll teach you the general idea of the subject, but never the details needed for test questions. Don't go to class, know the book like the back of your hand and maybe you'll pass.

This guy is one of the worst profs I've ever had. He gets incredibly off topic, & regularly. He spent 30 minutes of class one day talking about Las Vegas and didn't tie it back to the material what so ever. He doesn't lecture from textbook material but tests solely over the book. Tests are long and hard, contrary to another rater, not open book.

Every single class he got off topic and would never relate it back to the actual topic of Econ. He used pointless examples and would never respond to any of my emails. His tests were long and weren't over anything we talked about in class.

Drop this class now. He is awful he gets off topic every class and doesnt care to help you at all,

He is not a very good teacher he gets off topic really easily and his voice is so monotone it's difficult to pay attention. He does iclicker points but only gives you credit if you get the answer correct. It's not very fair but he does give you practice tests that help somewhat. His tests are really short but the class drags on for hours.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. he is actually terrible. he tries to make this class much harder than it is. and hes just an a hole. he doesnt do much because he is a 10 year. if your looking for a good professor for econ this is not one!

I definitely don't recommend this guy. The material was confusing mainly because he was distracted and talked more about his personal life. Going to the lecture is not enough you'll have to find other ways to study.

This guy was an oddball! I learned nothing during his lectures even though i really tried! The TA was more clear and you would need to go see her to actually pass this class. I would NOT recommend taking this class.

Do not take this professor! This professor was awful! I enjoy economics and have received great grades with minimal study except in his class. He will explain in great detail how to make a martini but never explains to his into econ class what GDP is. He doesn't do guided notes and studying off the lectures is impossible. Get the book and read it!

The class is set up so that there are three test and a final. He does not have structured notes but rather rambles on and occasionally draws a graph on the board with some long winded, unrelated explanation. He goes on a lot of tangents and loves to talk about how he would rather be on a beach with a martini. Honestly, he'd be better off there.

This guy barely stays on subject and talks way too much about his skewed right wing politics. It was so hard to pay attention and I'm not here for politics. I'm here for facts and information. 10/10 wouldn't recommend.

This professor gives opportunities for extra credit but the class is so hard and the professor does not teach well. I ended up with an A in the class but I had to work really hard and do all extra credit and honestly still dont fully understand the material in my opinion. The content wasnt taught thoroughly or clearly And the grading was weird.

Too many lectures during the semester and I learned more by watching ACDC econ in 10-20 minutes then I ever did in the 40+ minutes lectures during the semester. DId not like the way he taught economics either. I will give him the factor that hes probably a decent/good teacher in person, I just didn't like it online.

Worst professor Ive ever had in my whole entire life. The whole class is based off of 3 exams and the final exam. If you fail one exam then youre screwed and the final is 90% of your grade. Good luck if you take him online!!

Terrible. I had him online and there were so many lectures that I was always watching them back to back in order to take the exam on time, even though I thought I had paced them well to begin with. Lectures are long and boring and it was hard for me to understand or pay attention to them. 3 exams and 1 final that are difficult but not awful.

Not a good professor at all. I hate him. Don't take his class if u plan on having a stress-free good semester.

Frequently stated blatantly false, easily fact-checked info in his lecture. When masks were required, spent the start of each class complaining. Lectures weren't helpful. Refused to accommodate when computer crashed during a test, despite having a day left until the due date. The online resources and study guides are the best resources for passing.

He is so boring...his lectures relate in no way to Econ like he just tells stories and tries to get you to laugh. I never have any idea what he is talking about. The tests are hard and if you don't try to study you won't pass. The class is only worth 100 points and that's the entire semester and the way he weights the grade is ridiculous.

Do not take this professor. The worst I had at Ball State. His examples that he uses to go over the material do not correlate with the homework whatsoever.

Entire grade depends on your grade on the final paper. He is the most monotone guy i've ever heard speak. So boring and you can't pay attention even if you did cocaine.

70 percent of your grade is tests and attendance is taken for points. Lectures are also extremely boring.

I am someone who usually gets all A's. This is the worst class I've taken. The reason this class sucks so bad is because the tests are worth 75% of your grade and they are all on lockdown browser. He tells us to study but the only things to study are the assignments given but those only relate to the book which we don't even look at during class.

tenured dinosaur who cant teach a preschooler 2+2. dont take this guy unless they have a gun to your family. bigger villain than Thanos

LET me tell you, he told us to make notecards to help study, we learned that back in 5th grade, Ended up withdrawing from this class, only thing I learned was that his wife was to cheap to call a plumber. (Not joking). Take this course at ivy tech. HE NEEDS TO RETIRE

Hands down the worst professor I have ever taken during my undergrad. Spends class time complaining about the university and how he is underpaid. He does not explain the material well and does not like when you ask for help. He makes fun of disabled students and the mentally ill. Just overall a very disrespectful professor that needs to retire.

This man needs to retire. He's hands down the worst professor I've had. You get 8+ weekly online assignments (10-20 questions each), and all I've learned is how he disrespects his wife and makes a martini. The bad reviews aren't exaggerating—I regret ignoring them. Do yourself a favor and take someone else. BSU, fire him and use the money better.

An ADHD's worst nightmare, he is the most boring and monotone speaker he literally puts himself to sleep half the time. he goes off topic to rant about vodka and loses his train of thought every 5 seconds. gives no context to the lectures and unless you have a tablet you can't keep up because he graphs beforehand and moves too fast.
