Jeff Holt wrote his own textbook which is amazing! It makes it so easy to follow his lectures. He's enthusiastic about the topics covered. You HAVE TO STUDY for tests! He gives study guides though so it's pretty clear. Will be taking his microeconomics class next year. Do the homework and quizzes and you'll help your grade significantly.

One of the best professors I've had. He wrote the $60 book, use it for macro and micro, it is clear and directly follows the lecture and has study guides for each chapter that are very similar to tests. He relates everything to the real world. Go to class and use the study materials he gives you and you'll do fine. His brownies are delicious too!

Make sure you bring a voice recorder to class. Jeff holt is one of the best teachers I've had in a long time. Lectures are interesting and funny, and he seems like he's there because he loves what he does, not just because he has to be there.

You can tell that Jeff Holt absolutely loves teaching. His lectures are simple, yet informative. He lectures, and you will have a take-home quiz almost every class. The quiz is 4-10 questions and it comes straight from the book and his notes. Show up to class, study a little bit and you should have no problem passing his class with a B or better.
