I did not learn anything in this class because as Jeanny would like to say "It is all intuitive" However, he does remind me of a teddy bear.

Things profs shouldnt do & eid did: read midterms during writing and snicker; say we'll all fail; have 30% of 3rd yr course determined by groups you dont even know!; imply that we are stupid nearly every class (uh teaching problem, not students?); have an average of 35% on midterm. Classes not structured so no good notes, textbook useless for tests

THE Worst So called TEACHER that ever walked down the halls of SBE.... this guy is wants to fail you. You can not ask him any questions because he will laugh at you, and no matter how much you study his Exams Test your ABILITY not your Knowlegde of the course

This guy is smart and knowledgable in econometrics but I do'nt think he's qualified to teach. He encourages ppl to ask questions, and when some ppl do he actually puts them down. Sometimes he lacks patience to teach, 2 weeks left of the term and he throws a 30% project at us, we have exams to prep for and other assgs due too, give it to us earlier

Word on the street is Jean Eid is fired....N to the ppl sucking up to him...well the average on the test was 37.5% how well could u have possibly done. The prof is very knowledgable, i agree, however he forgets that he is not in a warzone anymore.

Poor quality professor, very messy writing and disorganized. the below comments sum everything up quite nice

Worst professor I've ever had. Can't teach at all, comes to class unprepared everytime, I feel so ripped off that I paid for this course. He is a smart guy I'll give him that.. the only reason I know this is b/c he takes every opportunity to make the students look dumb and himself appear smarter. FIRE THIS MAN

he such a bad prof.....his tests are messed up....don't ever study for his tests....nothing from the notes will be on there......it will be random****, that you can guess at ........

He's the worst prof I ever have. extremely subjective..If He thinks you are an A student you will get an A if he thinks you are a C student you will get a C no matter what..I know people who got D in EC255 introductory econometrics but ended up with As in his course,students I knew didn't deserve that much.On the other hand he screwed other student

What can I say, this is my second time with this prof and he is absolutely terrible. Although he is very smart, he has no ability to teach whatsoever. He is very lazy and does not prepare for his lectures. I've had some bad teachers in my years as a student, but Jean Eid is the teacher I've had in my life as a student. He should not be teaching

Terrible..the worst teacher i ever had in my life. Studying is useless in his class...dont bother. his tests are impossible no matter how much you study. Averages are in the 30% range.

the worst teacher ever...tests have nothing to do with material learned in class. Hel ask you questions that are 5 levels above the level that your studying at.

Class is challenging but that's not my real problem. He is extremely disorganized. Not thorough at all!

intelligent prof but SO messy and SO mean :(

Its funny how he can get away with what he does without being reviewed. Its not like he has any seniority. And you'll find that Professors who do are actually great instructors. Making a test difficult is fine, as long as the Instructor is clear, organized, and committed. He certainly doesn't give Laurier the greatest impression.

AVOID THIS PROFF AT ALL COSTS.

If you like surprises in midterms and finals. He will make sure you receive it. He doesn't give a excriment about what he says in class and he doesn't give a rat when constructing midterms. Avoid at all cost!

Tells you to use the textbook to study, never uses concepts from the textbook. Also has a lot of typos and mistakes in his marking

SOOOOOOO BAD!, class average of 50's and 40's between midterms, final is probably gonna have 90% of us retaking the course cause he's leaving.

He makes it seem like everything is explained in class, then when it comes to the first midterm you will be left very confused. He has VERY unnecessary long assignments, and makes you purchase an online system that costs about 300. He never answers emails, and if he does answer your questions he is very rude and unmotivating. AVOID IF YOU CAN

He is a funny guy but it is easy to see that he does not want to be teaching, he despises coming into class and one of my favorite quotes of the year was:" Dont complain, my daughter does this and she is in grade 1". I totally forgot that they started advanced statistical proofs in grade 1, thanks for the reminder Jean.

Mean SO.B, useless, helpless. Provided racisst data for assignments. Famous Jean Quotes : Drop course, take next year.- I dont want to hear that you spent 80 hours on the assignment. You should have spent more.

The midterm average was a 36 percent . For the final exam , an array of practise questions were provided and lectures were turned into a tutorial for those questions. This set us up for sucrss on the final . However the same strategy was not used for the midterm ( this is why the majority of the midterm content seemed to be too difficult).toughcour

Hard to understanding.

Awful prof. Doesn't expand on concepts or go through examples. Reads through powerpoints.

Not a very good prof. Refuses to provide students with ample resources to prepare for exams, and doesn't provide any practice questions to help prep for exams. If you have to take him for EC270 or EC370, I would recommend taking it with a different prof at all costs.

Does not know how to teach. Puts you down when asking a question. Assumes everyone understands even though no one knows what's going on

Every midterm has only two short answer questions which means you will lost most of marks if you don't know one small part of thing and that's why the grade on avg always below 50%, he is lazy and thinks we all know what he knows. Slides are very unorganized.

In the answer to the assignment questions he post in the final review, there are many answers that don't not match the questions. However, he even doesn't check and correct it. Only thing he does is just post it out. Dodge him if you can.

The worst and ridiculous prof I have ever had. He is unresponsible for students and did not care students. He does not know how to teach and bad handwriting. No response for email, just SKIP him for every course he teaches

This prof doesn't know his stuff well. Class lecture contents were terrible explained. After finish his class less than 5 people understood his way of doing math. He doesn't care anything about his students and hard to reach. He cancelled two classes and gave the exact scheduled exams with same content. Most exams questions were unexpected! Avoid!!

wouldn't recommend this prof to anyone

Difficult teacher, calculus heavy and no calculus preparation for the lesson. Posted very minimal practice questions and homework to which they were also many typos within. Midterm and Final averages hovered around 50. Try your best to get another Prof!

I've never worked so hard at a class to pull off such awful marks. Midterm and exam questions came out of no where with no way to properly prepare. Quizzes are easy enough, assignments get gradually more difficult. Class has a good split up but testing really brings to class average down. Check your grades as marks on tests are often incorrect.

worst prof, avoid at all costs!!

You basically have to teach the course material to yourself but its so hard to do so because all his notes and learning materials have typos in them. I took this class thinking it couldn't be as bad as everyone says it is but IT IS THAT BAD, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!

He is pretty cool but he is so bad at teaching, he just assume everyone knows the material pretty well and does not explain much about the math. I heard last year average midterm grades was 38 or something... this year is better but still quite upsetting

my #1 piece of advice to all econ students at laurier is avoid this prof at all costs, cool and funny guy but his class is a STRUGGGGLE.

Do yourself a favour and AVOID THIS PROFESSOR. Never never never never take his class

Dont do it - not only does he act unethically by mocking students for asking questions, his information is riddled with inexcusable typos. Grades on tests are often added up incorrectly. I have noticed that he makes seemingly unclear questions and makes them worth a lot.. then he gives no part marks so you lose like 20 marks out of 100 for small

Ruined my undergrad. Only has midterms and finals that are crazily hard and questions are similar to extension questions. Laughed when we asked for practice questions and extra help for exams, and is super disorganized with no slides so you're forced to read his ugly writing for notes. (you'll laugh at how easy it is to understand with a GOOD prof)

Quizzes, notes and slides filled with many typos and errors, almost feels impossible to do well in this class, avoid this prof at all costs

Never have put in more work in a class to have the worst grade I'll receive. Type of prof that makes you want to drop out. Content is not hard to learn, but questions on midterms often include things that we haven't even seen or learned, so avoid if you can, if not GGWP

This program is not worth it just go to bba

I worked my butt off and still failed. I took it again the following semester with another professor, and I got an A. Microeconomics is very interesting and easy to understand with the right professor. Do yourself a HUGE favour, and just take it with another professor. Avoid Jean Eid. I have never received anything lower than an A- until him.

man needs to relax and teach at phd level

Worst prof I've ever had. Never stressed about a class as much as I stressed about EC270. Never cried about school until EC270. Just don't take it with him. Actual terrible prof. Couldn't care about his students whatsoever.

To future econ students, best of luck with this prof that don't care about you. Prepare for most exciting redbull, self hated fueled nights of your life as Jean prepares to slap you with the biggest fattest F or D no matter how much effort you put in. Finals was said to be cumulative, but that wasn't the case.

BAD BAD BAD. Do not take this course with this prof if you want to do well. Zero responsibility for his students. Zero information is given about the tests, final and stuff. Delayed responses to email, lack of clarity. OMG I was literally crying the whole time. I hate this prof.

not so much that he is a tough grader, as that he is unclear in his expectations. As an undergrad ,i have never had a professor refuse to provide feedback. I have also never had a prof laugh at my lack of understanding and mock me because i didn't understand something. The math in upper year econ is hard : it only feels harder if we are unsupported

Worst professor in my university career. Doesn't give clear expectations of what you need to know for tests and exams. Very unreliable , will say hes going to post practice questions but will forget. He moves fast through lectures often making mistakes in his math so all in class examples are useless. Not great at answers questions.

MBA students come from all walks of life and education, professor doesn't understand that certain students may not have knowledge of heavy math. We can learn if the concepts have been taught in class, but they are not. Final exam was going to have no review until enough students complained, final review taught new concepts 7 days before exam.

Please be easy!!!!!

His weekly quizzes are straight from test banks and do not match his midterm and exams. There is a textbook but he does not follow the content of it at all. His multiple choices have over 8 options per question. The first midterm had an average of 45%. There is no mock midterm or mock exam.

Jean loves to use derivatives and integrals to explain basic concepts like marginal revenue and cost. Exam problems were pretty math heavy and long. No one had any clue what we were learning during his lectures as slides were mostly just graphs. Very lenient marker for assignments. Overall a lot of time needs to be put in to do well in this course.

Unironically the worst professor I had in 4 years at Laurier. Didn't seem to enjoy replying to emails, offer help, or provide adequate notes for feedback. Shockingly unwilling to change course for the pandemic, which sucked even more as I took the course right when it hit. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Rude. Unhelpful. Not very nice. Very smug and full of himself. He will not help you out with anything, you need to do everything on your own. Very entitled.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS

this guy just doesn't know how to teach. the whole class failed the midterm and the final was so much harder than he told us. i had to get tutors to do well in his class.

Worst Prof at WLU by far. Lecture material and textbook doesn't even cover the level of content he expects on the exam. His exams are out of ec370 course scope for other profs. No practice exams, no exam outline of what to expect and adds variables and question types never gone over in class. No cheat sheet despite other profs allowing one. AVOID

The worst professor in econ.

Worst prof ever in econ PLZZ DONT EVER TAKE HIM!!!!!

Worst professor at wilfrid laurier university fr. Does not answer emails or help you in class. My guy lost it when no one answered questions in class and ended it early.

Worst Prof ever

I think I would rather get attacked by a bear than take another class with jean eid. It seems as though he thrived on the downfall of his students but had a bit of a redemption arc last minute by giving us an easy final after the average of both midterms was under 45%. Weird. If you have to push graduation in order to not take his class DO IT
