Dr. Jay makes econ a lot of fun, and easy for pretty much anybody to pass. Best teacher at O-Dub! (well, maybe tied with Dr. Ritter).

He's very knowledgeable and doesn't speak down to students, which can be good for some and bad for others.

very personable and easy going need less graphs though

Recommened to anyone taking Econ. The best Econ teacher in the area by far.

This is my 2nd time with Dr.J and still believe that he is the easiest teacher.You rarely need the book and if you take good notes (and study them) you will get an easy "A". He only conflicts with students who do not want to learn and are unpre

I loved his class. He was a nice teacher and gave MANY examples of every type of problem on each test. Take good notes and copy all examples and you'll be fine.

He was an awsome teacher, he made the class fun and easy to understand. He is there to help you and try to make things clearer for you if you don't understand. He can't stand people who make no effort, but he's still pleasent to them. Just work with him

He's a great instructor. I'm now a senior Finance major, and I'm still using the material I learned in his class. He doesn't have much patience for slackers, but if you pay attention in class and study your notes, you'll be fine.

makes things real easy

I loved this class! It was my favorite class ever! It was hard, but it was exciting!

taken for both micro and macro econ now, HIGHLY recommend. He makes it easy for you to understand. rarely uses the book and teaches in a much clearer fashion than the book. Very graphical. always willing to help. very funny guy. if you have a problem, let him know ASAP, he will work with you

He is so funny! He makes the class interesting, fun, and easy!

Dr J's Economics classes were very interesting; he always related class to the day's news in business/economics. Some people find him hard to understand but if you can get used to the accent and hang in there, it's an interesting class.

I liked Economics with Dr. Jay. You have to write a five page paper and give a five minute presentation. His tests come directly from the notes. You will not do well in this class if you dont show up. He writes all of the notes on the board for you, and you just copy it. You generally get out of class early...

Dr Jay is an extremely intelligent individual who is always available to help students out. The concepts can be complex at times, but he is always willing to take as much time as needed. It is very easy to make an A in this class, just make sure you come early, and stay for the class, and to not miss any classes. VERY nice understanding guy.

I enjoyed Dr. J's class very much. I found him very helpful and friendly. Sometimes his English was difficult to follow, but his knowledge of economics was pervasive. I learned a lot from his class.

Great guy, great Professor he makes learning fun! He doesn't use the book much because his knowledge of the subject can make it easier than the book can. He always adds humor to the class and he ALWAYS helps the people who are trying. But, he has to interst in helping slackers fumble through class participate in class and take notes you'll get an A

Purpose and Suppose are his favorite words

Really easy, at least I thought so. He'll bump your grade if you do a decent presentation. Watch for the 'mother of all tests'. Mention cheese. He likes Cheese.

Dr. J is a pretty amiable guy. Took this distance learning. Didn't take very much effort, got an A, Dr. J accepts work early, ontime, or late. Tests were easy. assignments were easy. Easy degree of diffuculty for an A.

Dr. J is easy and nice. He bends over backwards for students. A very easy A for his class. Highly recommend.

Pretty easy class. Just study the notes and youll be fine. Write down the notes.

He is a good teacher, fair and he only tests on what he talks about during class. He gives reading mostly for homework but if you write down everything he teaches in class then you will do fine.

Dr Jay is a good dude. Yeah, he has a strong accent... so what? I wasn't looking forward to Economics, but it actually wasn't that bad of an experience. His test reviews just before you take a test definitely helped alot... probably the whole class.

I enjoyed the class. Dr Jay knows his stuff. TAKE NOTES FORGET THE BOOK!!!! Dr Jay's manor of teaching is very effective and his reviews are a must.

Prof. Jay is a cool dude. He has great real life examples. He has a sense of humor and takes the time answer questions. Homework assignments can be a nit tedious, but he reviews before tests - Big +!!! I'd recommend him if you have some kind of interest in learning a bit of Economics.

I enjoyed his classes. The homework consists of about 1 or 2 problems (that he doesn't take up), he just walks by to see you have attempted it. The exams are all open note/open book.

The guy below me needs to chill out, seriously. Dr. Jay is the coolest, he will help you when you need it, but you really shouldn't need any help since all the tests are open notes/open book. If people think this class is hard they'll be in real trouble when they get to finance accounting with Murphy, it's 10x harder than this stuff. Jay, U rock!

This class was easy because the tests were open-book, although he said he may change that starting this fall. I don't know how I would have faired if all the tests were closed-book; even with open-book I never got an A on any of them. Dr. J is also a little hard to understand, but he is glad to clarify things if & when you ask. Great class overall

I didnt use the book AT ALL. His tests have 30 m.c. questions & are from his notes but he does scenarios which throws people off. I had no interest in this subject but I think he taught it pretty well. I didnt take the class too seriously so I got a B, but i could have easily gotten an A. I would take him again.

I liked this class a lot. Didn't use textbook at all. But write down everything he writes on the board!!! Tests were OK, not easy but if you studied you'd do well. Dr. Jay is a good professor.

Good Professor. passionate about economics. doesn't use book at all, but take notes during his lectures, and you'll do well in the tests. does good reviews before the test, so pay attention! not an easy class, but just stay on top of the topics, and you'll be fine.

Great teacher!!! Knows what he is talking about and is very helpful. I took him for both Eco2013 and Eco2023 fast track. Very helpful. As long as you come to class and do the work you will get a good grade.

This guy cracks me up! He knows economics and as long as you go to class, you will too!

He was a great teacher and definitely knew what he was talking about. I took this class a couple months ago at 16 and got an A on every single test so I know it is very doable. There is very minimal homework, all online, and what little there is you get plenty of time to do. I definitely would take econ 2 with him.

His teaching method has actually helped me learn the subject, not just memorize things for the tests.

Dr. J is a great teacher. He makes economics interesting and easier to understand. Wish I could take him for ECO2023.

Dr. Jay is the one... I took him for Econ I (Spring Fast-track) and Econ II (Fall Online)... He breaks down the material in class so its very easy to understand... If you're online, and you do the homework, you'll be good to go for the midterm & final... He's very helpful and always willing to answer questions... Excellent instructor!

Dr. Jay is incredibly helpful if you don't understand the material. It can be a little difficult but he is always willing to explain further. Can be hard to understand, and he realizes it so he doesn't mind repeating himself sometimes. Much better in class than online since he explains concepts well! Also allows testing cheat-sheet!

JAY.... THE MAN, his summer class was awesome, almost no homework, barely any studying to do, just pay attention to class and take notes. easy grade.

Had Dr. Jay for Econ I and liked his teaching style so I took him for Econ II. He teaches straight from memory - no book required for students either. He makes Econ fun, is extremely smart, and is very passionate about the subject. Does all lectures using the white board and makes sure everyone understands the concepts. #1 Econ teacher at NWF!

I took Bhattacharya for Economics 1 then I took him again for Economics 2, he's hard to understand at first (well at least for me) but that almost makes you want to pay attention that much more. He tells jokes and gives some pretty funny comparisons to keep the class involved and will definitely help you if you go to him for it.

Took Dr. J online for econ1, easy; took him summer fasttrack econ2, loved it. He is fun and entertaining, but DO NOT carry on conversation with classmates during his lecture. you must understand exactly what he teaches in class, most folks did not have book and didn't seem to need it. Sad to not have him for any other classes.

I took his summer session 3 class. His lectures in class were kind of hard to follow because he bounces around and ties it all together in the end. After his lectures I thought that his tests were going to be incredibly difficult but they were surprisingly easy. He does require homework on MyEcon Lab. Pay attention in class and take notes.

He is very hilarious and entertaining. Didn't use the book much, however, he did write his notes on the board. And for the person that mentioned his " oh my god" saying, you have no sense of humor!!!

Dr. Bhattacharya is GREAT. My major is economics, so I'm a tad biased, but his class was very entertaining. I always enjoy coming to class because I never know what kind of jokes he will have that day. Lecture is very clear, tests reflect what we do in class, and he's always there to help. I highly recommend him.

AMAZINGLY COOL PROFESSOR

Just understand the logic and you should have no problem.

Dr. Jay is awesome, I took him for both ECO 1 & 2 and looking forward to taking him for the QMB and FIN classes. He's fun to listen too and cracks me up. His Economics classes you don't really have to use the book that much except to study for test and maybe some homework. I definitely recommend.

Quick and straight-forward weekend class. No complaints here. His tests are exactly on what he lectures on. Take notes and pay attention and you'll pass easily.

I only spoke to him once and he was very nice and willing to help me. If you aren't good at math don't take online if you don't have too. I found myself using the web more than I should of had to just to pass. The book is mostly reading material and the tests are all applying what you read mathematically the book does not help here!

I took Dr. Jay for both macro and micro economics, and he is a very concise teacher. Despite other remarks, I found him very easy to understand, and I feel his teachings make a potentially hard course easy.

Amazing. Inspirational. Stunning. Hilarious. Great at teaching, always available to talk. I feel like I learned a lot, even though I'll probably forget everything he taught me next semester. A great course taught by a great teacher, can only be improved if God himself or Lebron James taught it.

Dr. Jay has a rather unique teaching style. He teaches by lectures only, and explains everything off of the top of his head and doesn't use powerpoints. I love this style as it works very well for me, but I can see how others would have difficulty with it. If you are good with critical/abstract thinking, you will love his class.

I really enjoyed Dr. Jay. As long as you pay attention in class and take good notes, you should easily pass. Most of his tests have bonus questions, and if the class does well enough on the third test, the final is over only new material and not cumulative. Doing well pays off!

He was awesome took him for Econ 2 just go to every class and take notes or get someone to share notes with and you'll pass. Ask questions if you need to and he'll answer before he moves on, he got the whole class involved and made the class more fun.

Dr J is an amazing teacher with an equally amazing memory. Complete grasp of the subject matter. I like that he challenges the class - not just straight textbook material - this facilitated actual learning and critical thinking.

The classwork can be difficult, but he makes sure that you are understanding the material.

Awesome teacher. Always available and answers questions students have clearly. Tests are easy to study for and he will give extra credit sometimes. Always flexible with students and wants them to succeed.

Dr. Jay is a wonderful teacher. For most of my life I considered myself "bad at math" but this is the 3rd class I've taken with him and I've made A's each time. I realize now what a difference a great teacher can make. He doesn't move on until he feels like a majority of the class understands the content. He makes class fun and engaging. The best!

I took ECO2013 online and it was pretty simple and straight-forward. The homework doesn't take a lot of time, but the learnsmarts take a little bit more time. Very easy to get an A in this class you just have to take some time out to do the assignments.

The class was overall very easy. It was an all online class, and it was only a 12 week course I believe. He crammed a lot of material into a short amount of time, but it was manageable. There is about 40-50 questions to answer with each chapter within learn smart and then another 65 HW questions. No essays were assigned. Tests are 65 questions.

Professor B. is amazing and truly understands and loves what he teaches. He wants you to do well, so definitely talk to him if you are confused in his class. It's a difficult topic but he's great about starting discussion in class so you can get involved. You will get the most out of his class if you participate and ask questions. Highly recommend.

I took his online ECON class and it was so easy. Just make sure you complete all the homework and do the discussion boards and you will pass.

Simple class, easy assignments but they are incredibly long. Honestly was a do by yourself type class, He was barely involved. He also did not grade any assignments until the last day of the grading period which was pretty scary not knowing. Overall a really easy class though.

You will have some homework, however it is not difficult assignments and the questions prepare you for the tests. Only 3 tests and then the final. You will have to take notes every class, however his lectures are very interesting and he made me genuinely enjoy economics.

I was wary going into the course, but I ended up really loving it! He teaches very thoroughly and ensured that everyone understands. He has made economics easy for me to understand. However, you MUST attend the classes and take notes. You will not pass otherwise. But, I highly recommend him. He is one of my favorite teachers I have ever had.

Loved taking his Econ 2 class! The class was very entertaining and taught me a lot. Attendance is definitely mandatory, all of his lectures are important and make sure to take notes! You have to put in effort out of class to study and you will do fine! Take good notes, pay attention, participate, ask questions.

Super chill class. For the most part you do everything at your own pace. Your exams are worth a lot.

I loved Econ I. Every horror story I heard was false; econ is just hard. He pokes fun at his students, but he's obviously not mean, just entertaining. His lectures are far more fun and concise than the text. The workload is much lighter compared to Burns's. Everything lectured on, nothing more, is tested on; take notes. One of my favorite teachers!

If you've heard anything bad about Bhattacharya, it's false. His class is great. He's really funny and everything covered in lecture is on the test. As long as you understand the concepts and study a bit, you'll do great.

He was overall an amazing professor! I absolutely loved his teaching style and I genuinely learned so much in his class, all tests were multiple choice. I'm taking the next class he teaches!

Professor Bhattacharya's class can be a mixed bag, but with the right approach, it's very doable. Lectures can be tricky, but the exams are fair if you stay on top of the material. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for efficient studying.

I loved professor Bhattacharya! Some people in my class struggled with his lecture style, he doesn't give you clear answers right away. However, this helped me learn, in economics you have to understand the general concepts and he did an outstanding job at simplifying subjects. He taught much better than the book, he's also very funny.
