extremely good teacher. If you go to class then the tests aren't be bad at all. His examples and class activities are very helpful and interesting so it's not hard to convince yourself to go to class. He is funny and makes sure everyone understands the material. would DEFINITELY suggest. He gives many chances for extra credit too
He is an amazing teacher! He really cares about his students learning the material and uses good real life examples. He makes class worth going to. He makes the class so interesting and fun. Definitely take this teacher!
This was my favorite professor so far. He uses many real life examples to help the students retain the information. Joab is very excited to be teaching economics so the material seems fun to learn. I learned a great deal from this class and because of the extra credit opportunities, I didn't have to worry about my grade. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
joab is a great techer very helpful and intelligent.throughout the course there are 3 tests multiple choice, and 3 essays that are about two to one pages in length. attendence is not mandatory but he gives pop quizes randomly, but his class is fun and you learn a lot! so it is definitley worth attending and taking!
Very excited and engaging.
OUTSTANDING TEACHER!!! made economics interesting and enjoyable. taught very well, he made sure you understood the material- was very helpful, kind and full of energy.
Great professor made the course fun and interesting. He was one of the reasons I decided to change to Economics. Class is easy if you go to lecture. I am taking him again for micro.
AMAZING TEACHER! By FAR the best I've ever had- so kindhearted and genuinely cares about his students. goes above & beyond to help you understand the material. He WANTS you to succeed! I used to hate economics but her made it interesting-He always comes to class smiling & with energy- really is a perfect example of how we should appreciate life.
Joab is an amazing professor! He is so passionate about the subject matter and is always up for discussions with students. He holds review sessions prior to the tests, even if it's a weekend. He wants his students to succeed and helps you get there every step of the way. Take him!
GREAT TEACHER!!! he cares a lot about his students and his goal is for his students to succeed. All test are cumulative, does pop quiz's, and LOTS of extra credit. An A is definitely attainable.
Awesome professor! He is very nice and funny. He helps you out whenever you need it. His class is easy as long as you come to class and take part in the lectures. He gives a ton of extra credit and the exams and quizzes are really easy as long as you study. I'm taking him again for Micro next semester. I highly recommend him!
Joab is The Man! Having taken Micro with Calhoun the previous semester, I was able to tell the significant difference between the two professors. Joab approaches the material at a rate that is able to be understood by the whole class. His lectures (as well as tests!) are very straightforward and easy to comprehend. TAKE THIS GUY!!
Joab really cares about his students. He gives a review before every quiz and test... gives out 20 points of extra credit and the class worksheets are super easy and help boost your grade. the tests are straight from the slides and it is very easy to get an A! TAKE HIM!
awesome teacher. extremely obsessed with econ, so he loves teaching it which makes it more interesting. his examples are really good. as with all econ classes, clickers are used and there's extra credit opportunities in class, so you should definitely go though it's not mandatory. he posts his power points online so it's easy to keep up. take him!
Joab Corey is by far the best professor I have had at Florida State University. I honestly consider it a privilege to have taken two classes taught by him. He is young and knows how to relate to his students- with humor, understandable and relevant examples, and spontaneous martial arts moves. He makes economics extremely interesting and fun!
Amazing!
VERY EXCITING!!
He is very enthused and enthusiastic about teaching and learning economics. Joab offers TONS of extra credit.
Amazing
One of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. I am taking another one of his classes in the spring just cause he is teaching it
Very Funny, cares about subject and is VERY energetic about the class. Class is not mandatory but takes mini pop quizzes in class which he allows you to miss so many before they hurt you. Gives a lot of extra credit, and if you follow the study guide before each test you'll be fine. Offers own study session b4 each quiz/test
Very easy class as long as you pay attention. Teaches you everything you need to know for the exams, which are also pretty easy to study for. Every energetic and gives you lots of chances for extra credit. I sat front row more for the view than for the actual class ;) You should get an A as long as you pay attention and review.
BEST TEACHER AT FSU! I love this guy. His class is funny and worth going too. You actually learn the material. Lots of extra credit and easy tests if you go to class. TAKE HIM
Joab is a great prof, lots of extra credit, easy assignments, go to class for transmitter points. Take econ with Joab
Good prefossor, he made waking up early in the morning more bearable because he was sooooo energetic that it would wake you up. He also plays educational yet interesting video. He uses a lot of examples that are interesting such as weed. he's also very helpful, he has alot of office hours
AMAZING PROFESSOR! He presents the material in a way that is interesting, and engages each student in class. He has a great sense of humor, and is definitely in the correct profession. Very handsome as well.
Very energetic. Makes going to class bearable. Incorporates students interests into lessons which makes material easier to learn. Go to class to get transmitter points
He's always willing to meet with students to help their grade (he's literally in his office 24/7) and is funny. He makes class fun and does cartwheels....bonus.
Joab is the best professor I've had so far at FSU. If you're taking economics, take his class. If he's not teaching what you need this semester, wait. I promise it's worth it.
He was an amazing professor. I'm taking every economics class I can if he's teaching it!
By far the best professor at FSU! I hated economics but he made it so interesting! I loved going to his class. hes pretty cute too! Definitely take him! You won't regret it!
He doesn't make the class so easy that you don't learn anything, but it's not so hard that you want to kill yourself midway through. He's great at proving points and is super clear. Looking at him during lecture is pretty nice, too.
He is by far one of the best teacher's I have had, not only at FSU but also at my high school. As cliche as it is, he has opened my eyes to economics, and the fact that I can actually pass an econ class. He is soooo helpful and gives out a bunch of extra credit. He is always happy and loves to see people succeed. DO NOT take Econ without him!
Take him for this course. Professor Corey is a terrific professor and is very passionate about his subject area.
Professor Corey is by far my favorite teacher here at FSU. He is so incredibly helpful, clear and sincerely wants to see his students succeed. He makes class worth going to and economics actually intriguing! I did not think I would like this class as much as I ended up liking it! TAKE HIM!
GO TO CLASS and do well on tests, because the final is impossible. in order to do well you must read, go to class, and go to the review sessions. don't count on pulling your grade up with the final.
Having taken Joab for Macro and Micro, I can say that he definitely knows what he teaching,is more than willing to help students, and seems very excited about economics!One of the best professors I have had at FSU!
I agree with the review below. There's a lot of extra credit and he made class VERY interesting, and while it wasn't the easiest subject ever, it definitely was doable. Final Exam... ehhhh different story. Make sure you keep up with the material and do very well on the 1st 2 exams... because for some reason, the Final Exam was very difficult.
Joab is the best professor I've had so far at FSU. His lectures are crystal clear and he has an obvious care for his students' success. The final was NOT that hard (I got a 92 on it). He gives plenty of extra credit and the text book isn't required. I can't wait to take his Micro Economics class next semester. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Joab keeps class interesting. I took him for Macro and Micro and got A's in both his classes. You can get a maximum of 20 Extra Credit points. He also adds online quizzes, transmitter questions and more to help raise your grade. He has lots of office hours and I HIGHLY recommend him!!!
best professor ever!
Great teacher, great teaching ability, keeps you up. Take him if you need to learn this material.
The best professor and a very nice person.
Best professor ever! Loved his class
Such a great person and teacher, not to mention crazy good looking....like super man before he turns into super man. If you show up, write out notes, and attend review sessions, it is an easy A.
Great teacher
BEST teacher ever~! Super nice person and wonderful teacher! Really loves his students and subject. If you're taking econ, take his class!!
Joab is a great teacher! He enjoys what he does so much so that he wants you to get a good grade.But,he does go pretty fast with his lectures and it is sometimes hard to keep up. I used study edge reviews to make sure I was ready for his somewhat hard tests and it helped so much! Joab does a great job teaching and study edge cleared up what Imissed
Corey is a really great teacher! He keeps things interesting and you won't get bored in his class. For the tests he does reviews which are really helpful. He does do a lot of in class transmitter points and activities so just go to class and you will do well.
Best at FSU!
Great Teacher! If you have an opportunity to, take one of his classes.
He is a great economics professor! He really does try his best to help you learn and is very enthusiastic about the subject he teaches. Although the class isn't ALL that easy, if you go to class, take good notes, go to his reviews, and study, you'll do GREAT! I know I did. The book is not necessary at all.
Joab is my favorite, he's one of the most entertaining teachers I've ever had.
I am in love with this man. Taking his class is an experience within itself. I recommend everyone take a class with Joab, even if this is not a required course. Attendance is not mandatory, but class was so fun and interesting I wouldn't miss it for the world! I love Joab's ability to interact with 300-500 people at once, captivating everyone.
He's awesome. He keeps the class entertained and makes sure everyone understands. He tries his best to make sure the lectures get interesting and will drop your lowest test grade based on your final. You can get a lot of extra credit. Just go to class, and study a lot and you'll ace it. Highly ecommend him!
Professor Corey makes the intimidating subject of Economics both enjoyable and understandable. I would advise anyone who needs to take Economics to take this Professor. This was an amazing class and I learned an infinite amount of valuable information I can use in my everyday life.
I took this class online and found it to be very easy and enjoyable. He does send reminders out to complete assignments which is super nice. Used the textbook alot and any extra material provided was awesome to watch or read.
Best professor I ever could have had. He makes economics interesting and he makes it clear that he is extremely passionate about his job. You NEED to attend class, but with a professor like Joab, why would you skip!? He is intelligent, friendly, and approachable. Added bonus - he's breath-takingly handsome. DEFINITELY taking another class with him!
This class was so-so. Attendance wasnt really mandatory but worth going. He was nice, and nice to look at. It was funny cause he liked to run all over the lecture hall to help students out. There were some interesting in class activities. This class is not the easiest but you will do fine if you try.
Joab Corey is an amazing teacher and genuinely cares about teacher this class. He makes the class fun (even though it was early in the morning) and the class isn't mandatory but if you don't go you could miss potential transmitter points. I loved him as a teacher but for some reason for me, the material was hard to grasp. Choose Joab Corey!
Awesome teacher. Funny and really enjoys his class. Pay attention, go to class and you'll do fine. Joab is awesome!!
Joab is a GREAT professor. He is extremely helpful and nice. He makes class very interesting and has a lot of energy! He does backflips, uses funny examples and runs all over the classroom. He makes the class of 500 people seem like a class of 10 people. I 100% Recommend him. Tons of Extra credit opportunities too Im definitely taking him for Micro
I took his economics class online and really enjoyed it! It was a lot of busywork, but not too difficult. He is really helpful and is very good about responding to emails quickly. Really nice and funny!
He is the best!
Best economics teacher ever! He literally does flips in class and makes the awesome subject of economics even better. You must take him while you are at FSU!
Dr. Corey is in his office all day with students, goes home for dinner, then comes back at 11pm to get his own work done and often ends up sleeping in his office. He is always there for his students and goes more than the extra mile. In class he is the best I have ever had. Take him.
He's a superb teacher! Extremely passionate!
Best teacher in any course I have ever had. Brings so much energy and passion to the lecture. Funny, always available,and makes the class interesting to students. Never a dull moment. Take him for as many econs as possible you won't regret it.
He knows how to make class entertaining. He uses good example to explain things, and knows how to relate to his students.
Best teacher. He has great examples that will stick with you even if you don't like economics. He's extremely engaging and funny. Would definitely recommend!!
Took him for Macro and Micro. Extremely passionate about the subject and very dedicated to his job. Very friendly and helpful. He uses great examples in class that are easy to remember because they're actually interesting. Definitely stimulates interest in the course and you can easily get an A if you attend class and pay attention.
Best teach at FSU
best teacher of my life, no interest in econ but he sure changed that. he is energetic excited not to mention extremely good looking. he truly cares about his profession and his students and id go as far to say he is the best professor at FSU!
Joab is one of the best teachers I've had at FSU. Great guy!!
Seriously the best teacher I've had at Florida State University. I ended up with a B in his Macro class and an A- last semester in Micro. Even if you're not interested in the subject, I guarantee you will want to go to class just because he is so passionate about what he teaches. You actually want to learn. Put in effort, take notes, and STUDY!
Joab is as good as it gets as a professor. Its hard to imagine there is a better prof than him at FSU. He makes class fun, entertaining and loves the material and his students. He is there to help out whenever you need anything and is very clear about the material. I took him for Micro and Macro and got As both times. Take him for sure
awesome
The BEST there is. Wonderful in everyway. Puts tricky concepts into clear simple words for students to get. You will want to go to class most days bc he is so very handsome and funny too. Unbelievably helpful& accommodating-even sleeps in his office to grade all night.Nvr met anyone so passionate about what they do in my life. TAKE THIS MAN!!!!!!!
If you don't take one of Joab's classes while at FSU, you're missing out. Literally best professor I have ever had, period.
Joab is my favorite professor at FSU. Please take his class. He has so much passion for what he does. His test are pretty easy just study the notes and understand the concepts.
He is the best teacher I have ever had. He is awesome, funny, cool, smart, and creepily LOVES economics. He makes economics fun and not everyone can do that. As long as you attend class, you should get most of the transmitter questions correct and all the activities correct. Always attend becuase he explains real well and gives extra credit quizzes
Joab's the boy!! Always makes class fun and is super into everything he talks about. Gives out money for examples regularly and actually does flips to keep your attention. THE MAN
I took both micro and macro with him and there really is nothing bad you can say about him. Uses great examples to help understand concepts and makes the class interesting even for those who don't like economics. I'm actually majoring in economics after taking his class!
By far the BEST professor at FSU. Passionate about the material and is willing to help if you don't understand. Genuinely cares about his students and makes the class relevant to his students. A lot of extra credit. Take his class I promise you wont regret it.
Literally the best and easiest professor, simply because you know exactly what he expects of you. Got an A. Don't take with anyone else
best professor. he wants his class to learn and whatever suggestions made to him he will take into consideration. he genuinely cares for his students and if they pass or not. Loved him and actually made economics easy.
He use a clicker in my class for points that added up to 20% of our grade, so I would say go to class. I went to every class and didn't study and received a B overall, if I had actually put some time into it I would have gotten an A. The tests are extremely lecture based, but you do have to memorize the formulas!!!
Joab has honestly been one of my favorite professors at FSU. He actually LOVES what he teaches and makes the students (or at least me) gain interest as well. Super nice. Super helpful. He is all about the students and making sure they understand and succeed. I would recommend going to class because you get extra credit points! & it isn't dull!
Awesome!
Great teacher! Definitely recommend for the into economics classes. Wish he taught upper level Econ classes because he has a great teaching method. He keeps the class entertaining and makes learning the information fun. Still one of the best teachers I have had at FSU
Genuinely the BEST teacher you will ever have. Every single class is beyond enjoyable, he goes far out of his way to teach in a manner that invokes interest. I would recommend this teacher/class to any major from engineers to exercise sciences. The class is pretty easy if you pay attention, which it's hard not to. Favorite class to date.Take it now
The best professor ever. You don't need the book. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does do transmitter questions for a percent of your grade. Always keeps the class entertained and his activities are great. Always has an original way to relate the subject you are discussing relevant to modern culture. Tons of extra credit.
Best teacher EVER! I have always somewhat liked economics, but Joab will make you more interested than you ever thought you would be. Plus, he's adorable. His class made me change my major from biology to business and economics.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Seriously, FSU is blessed to have him! He is the best professor at FSU and he truly loves his job. Very cute too!
Absolutely phenomenal professor. He makes economics a topic you look forward to learning about. He's very nice with all the students, and he is very helpful as well. He utilizes games to make sometimes misunderstood economic concepts easy to understand, which is a fun way of going about teaching. Overall, a top-quality professor.
BEST PROFESSOR AT FSU!!!! Very cute too, but he really is a great professor. He has a passion for economics that is incredible. Very helpful and nice. Great teacher
he's awesome! go to class and listen to his lectures and you will definitely get an A. Tons of extra credit available too.
He was honestly my favorite teacher. He explained everything clearly and made many pop culture references in his examples. He's very easy to approach and he gives you lots of opportunities to do well! The only difficult thing is the online quizzes but they are open book, just slightly tricky. I highly recommend him!
This is actually one of the coolest classes I've ever taken. Teacher is great. Class is easy. The only thing is that you need to show up at least half the time for transmitter points. Take it if you can.
Definitely take Corey!! He's an amazing teacher, gives tons of examples with each concept, and makes everything easy to understand and fun. His tests and quizzes are usually easy and as long as you get the overall idea you will do great. This is my first time taking micro and got a 97. TAKE HIM you will not regret!
Joab is a GREAT teacher. You could tell how much he enjoys to teach Economics and he makes the class as interesting as he could. Attendance isn't mandatory unless if you want to earn your transmitter points but he made class so enjoyable that I barely ever missed. Definitely take this class!!!
One of the best professors I've ever had. His enthusiasm, clarity, and knowledge maximize each student's potential. Attendance is optional but recommended because of transmitter points.
He did a cartwheel the first day of class... I went to class just because he was such a fun teacher. By far the best teacher I have ever had! You dont really need the book, he does powerpoints that contain all the info.
The best professor I have had at FSU thus far. Overall great class, very reasonable grading scheme, and he makes the lectures entertaining.
I loved this class! He's so enthusiastic about Econ, it's hilarious. He's helpful and does everything he can to ensure you get the grade you worked for. Come to class because it definitely helps with understanding material, and he has activities in class for extra points. Not an easy class for me, but JC was an easy choice for a prof!
He was one of the best professors I have ever had. He loves economics and goes above and beyond to help the class understand the concepts he's presenting. I recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Favorite professor ever. Take his class. I got a 99 or something ridiculous and economics was tough for me in high school. He is so funny and helpful. He makes sure the class understands everything before moving on.
This teacher is the reason I changed my major to economics. He is that good. As long as you go to his class, study some, and read a little you will pass this class and be a better person for it. He's energetic, not boring, and does flips. You can't beat that. If you can take a class with him. But don't think its just a walk over class.
JOAB IS THE MAN!!! If you ever have an opportunity to take a class of his DO IT! He should receive a medal for how awesome he is. Not to go overboard but if was running for president, I'd vote for him...
Joab makes economics interesting and fun and it's because he legitimately LOVES economics. Also, he does back flips sometimes so watch out for that. This guy is a wonderful teacher and is very helpful oh, and btw he's super hot.
He loves what he does and it shows. The exams have some application problems and most information from slides. Pop quizzes at the end of some classes. For the second time at this course, he was the right choice!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM! He is really willing to help you out, has plenty of extra credit and review sessions before each of his exams! I took eco2032 and got an A+. I am now taking his eco2013 and it is just as easy! :)
I WISH JOAB WAS MY TEACHER FOR EVERY CLASS. By far, best professor I have ever had.
Joab Corey is the best professor I've ever had. I took him for Intro, Macro and I'm all registered to take him for Micro in the Fall! He LOVES what he's teaching and it shows. When I stated here at FSU I was a Polic-Sci major. He is the reason I changed my major to Economics. This guy is so amazing that influenced me to CHANGE MY MAJOR!TAKE HIM!
Rude to students and very condescending.
Assumes all students are as knowledgable as him and rushes through the material. Condescending to students and often goes off topic. Would NOT recommend this teacher.
Easily the best professor I have ever had. He makes economics fun and exciting, and I would take all of his classes if possible.
Great professor!! He really cares about his students and teaching. Made economics very practical and helped me apply it to my life!
Great
He is a great teacher and makes himself available pretty much any time of day. He's always in his office and is very helpful, and never condescending. He puts everything online so if you miss a class it won't be a problem. He makes class interesting and is always energetic. I highly recommend taking his class.
I took him for both Macro/Micro. Even though attendance isn't "mandatory", I HIGHLY recommend going because having all the transmitter points and activity points greatly helped me get A's in both classes.Just have to study the lecture material and you should be fine. Also, he gives plenty of extra credit. Take him!
Do not listen to the reviewers that rated him badly, Joab is NOT condescending! Easily the best teacher I've had at FSU, he goes over and over the material until you understand it, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to help you out.
Joab is an amazing teacher! I learned so much from him, and ended up loving economics. There are transmitter questions in class, but you're allowed to miss a few without getting points off so you don't have to be super diligent about going to class every day.
Joab is easily one of the most passionate professors I've met. He makes what would normally be a boring economics class into an interesting and relatable class for college students. I took micro and macro with him. You must study and take notes and I suggest going to class to get all of your transmitter points and activity points. Plus extra credit
Great teacher! He gives plenty of extra credit opportunity and is willing to help you whenever and is great about answering to emails. He is a very passionate teacher and keeps his lectures interesting. Definitely take his class!
Joab is the best! I took him for both Macro and Micro and got easy A's. He not only explains the material well, but makes great study guides, offers tons of extra credit, and his tests are also really really fair. He's also extremely helpful during office hours and always has funny stories. Take Him!!
Taking intro to econ was the best decision, Joab has such a passion for Econ and is understanding. He gives reviews before each exam, tons of extra credit, and relates the material to real life examples. Definitely take this class and get Joab. Loved his ass so much that I switched my major to Econ.
Joab makes the material easy to understand, his class notes are great, and he makes the class fun to attend. He gives out A LOT of extra credit which helps boost your average. I went the whole semester thinking I would get an A and instead got a B b/c of the final exam. You need to memorize a lot of graphs. STUDY EVEN IF YOU FIND THE MATERIAL EASY!
Very fun teacher. Don't miss class because clicker questions save your grade! He keeps you engaged at all times. Study harder than me and you'll get an A.
Corey is the best! As long as you go to class you'll do fine. Never opened my textbook. I just paid attention in class (Which is very easy to do with him as a teacher). You wont regret choosing him!
Wow, Joab really did have what a college lecture should have. He would liven it up when it was boring, powerpoint was never boring or generic, and he was really passionate and helpful. Pay attention and take notes (duh, but his are not hard to follow or learn at all). Basic business class that actually taught and entertained me.
Easier than Calhoun, plowed through his exams. Barely studied for the final because I did so well on the last two exams.
TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER. he is so helpful and makes the class fun and interesting. he also replaces your lowest test grade with your final if you do better on the final. the best teacher I've had at fsu.
He is a very interesting teacher. does front flips in class. The information was hard to grasp. He explains everything very clear with hilarious examples. Study for the tests, they can be tricky. Going to class is mandatory if you want to do well.
Joab is the best teacher I have ever had! He gives great lectures and people actually want to go to his class. I had him for micro and macro and got an A in both with barely studying. Just go to class and you will pass.
LOVE JOAB COREY!! Best professor at FSU. Just attend the classes and it's an easy A.
He is a great teacher and really lets his passion shines. He tries to relate all examples to real life scenarios and puts a lot of effort to make his class and topic student friendly. No textbook, so you need to go to class. Micro is Micro, so the test are dependent on your understanding, so do study.
My experience with Joab has been amazing. I knew it would be a great semester from the first class. He is energetic, helpful, begs students to come to his office hours for extra help, his West Virginia stories are unparalleled, just like his love for economics. I'm taking macro next semester and i had to have him again. BEST PROFESSOR AT FSU
Corey is an amazing guy and teacher. His class is pretty easy, but his tests get harder and harder. Study Edge had free reviews and exam study guide packets that helped me get the A!
Would not have survived this class without the Study Edge!
Praise be to Joab. What an amazing professor and person. Very passionate about his work and takes the time to make sure his students understand. What an amazing guy.
Intro to Econ class was very easy. Barely studied and got an A. The tests are common sense as long as you know the terminology and the basic thought process of an economist. The classes were not boring and clear examples were given. Quizzes and activities were randomly given so show up to class. Warning, he almost never cancels a class.
This is a fun class is Joab is quite an entertainer. Unfortunately, I learned much more economics in high school than I did in this class. I feel like I wasted my time and money. It is geared toward the lowest level of student in a class of several hundred. If you can't get an A in this class, you shouldn't be in college.
It was a pleasure having Joab Corey for micro Econ this semester. His class is the only class I enjoy going to and I don't mind his 9:30 class. He teaches the material in a clear and concise way with real-life examples. I clicker points and extra credit can mean the difference between an A and B. Has review sessions before each test. Take him!!!
Joab is the best teacher I have ever had. Besides being a total babe, he is very accessible and loves to teach. Tons of extra credit and fun class activities. You don't need the book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
By far, Corey is the best professor I have ever had at FSU. He makes the material interesting, engages his students, and provides many opportunities to raise your grade through extra credit. He is very fair. If you go to class and study your notes, you will get a good grade in his class. Would definitely recommend.
The best class I have had at FSU! The tests are very straightforward and if you do better on the final than one of your previous tests, you can replace that score. He is funny and relate-able. He is also very attractive so that's an added bonus!
Joab Corey was the best professor I had this semester, and hands down the absolute best teacher I've ever had in my life. He is always on time, ready to teach! He is well prepared, knows what he's talking about, and always has a great attitude! His lectures are fun and engaging, he gives awesome examples, and keeps his students engaged. Yes!!
I hated economics before this class, now I apply it laws to my every day life. Lots of extra credit, test are straightforward, no book needed if you attend classes. no attendance but plenty of pop quizactivities. but you'll want to listen to lectures anyway. Basically show up, listen and study his study guide b4 test and you'll get an A..
One of the greatest professors I have ever had. He really likes what he teaches and is very interested in helping you out as much as you need.
His classes are fun and interesting and really help you understand the subject. I skipped class a lot and that hurt my grade because I missed the pop quizzes and his power points didn't really make sense unless I were there when he discussed them. Go to class!
Excelent Professor. He does acrobatic tricks and provides memorable examples.
Joab was the best professor I've had at FSU. His love for economics and enthusiastic teaching makes you want to go to class. He gives you so many opportunities to achieve an A, by providing material and practice problems to ensure good grades on exams and loads of extra credit. He is inspiring and also good looking. TAKE HIS CLASS.
you don't need the textbook, just show up for class and study the power points (which he puts up online too). no math involved, just need to memorize a few simple equations. 3 tests, and i think the final replaces the lowest of the 3 midterms. NEED ICLICKER for points. very chill teacher, tells funny storiesexamples.
Took him for both micro and macro. He's an amazing teacher and has a lot of easy assignment points. The tests were okay, but theres an app called Study Edge that I used to help me study for the tests. They even had live reviews for the tests !
Joab was the best teacher i had my fall semester. He is very clear on how to get an A. His lectures are fun because you'll get an occasional flip or West Virginia story. He cares about the students and if you pay attention you can get an A. He describes the lectures in great detail and will cover everything on his tests which are easy.
LOVE HIM. Such an amazing professor. By far my favorite professor to date. Makes the information clear and easy to comprehend, and gives hilarious personal examples. I've only had a positive experience with Joab. If you don't take a class with him you're missing out!
Joab is an exciting professor and you can tell he really cares about the subject. He makes the class really easy, just take a few notes in class and go to his reviews before tests.
Straight forward teacher with fun, real-life material and a positive attitude. Highly recommend.
Joab is the most genuine person I've ever met, he loves the United States of America
Lots of opportunities to bring your grade up. Clicker points are crucial (you won't get an A if you don't get them). Best teacher I've had at FSU
Taking Joab was the best thing I could have done. Because the class size is so big I was a little nervous coming to class but he made the class interesting and he really engaged with the class. there are lots of opportunity to get an A in the class and he is very clear on what each slide talks about. I'm taking him again because is awesome.
Awesome teacher. I wouldn't consider taking any other teacher besides Joab Corey for any economics class. Easy assignments, explains all concepts thouroghly, and is very clear with what he expects of you (which isn't much). Many extra credit opportunities and strives to make the class as easy as possible for all students. No excuse not to pass.
Joab is an awesome professor. He is cute and funny. Gave out money to some kids during an activity. I really advise kids to take his class. He teaches ECO 2013 and ECO 2023. I am taking him for both classes.
Joab is one of the most genuine teachers I have ever had. He really cares about his students and wants to see you succeed. For the tough material he makes sure to explain it well and use relatable examples.
Joab is probably the best professor I have ever had. He is nice, clear and tells you twice a week exactly what is expected of you that week. People say his class is easy. I think that is just because there is no confusion as to what to study. Go to class, take notes, he is very funny and interesting. AMAZING!!!
Professor Corey is by far the best I've had at FSU. He makes the material as simple and as interesting as possible. Tests are not hard, and cumulative final exam can replace your lowest test grade. He wants everyone to do well and makes it very easy to do so.
Joab is a beast in every regard.
Joab is the best! Macroeconomics is not always the easiest subject. But Joab makes it interesting and uses relevant examples. Sends out plenty of emails, reminding students when things are due and aims to keep you on track. Schedules exam review sessions before every test to go over the material again. Definitely taking him next semester for micro!
Joab is a really nice guy with many stories to tell, but his tests are honestly really tough. The questions can be very wordy and confusing. I studied so hard for the final and only managed to get a C+ on it. On the up side, he does give lots of extra credit which helped my grade a lot!
Best professor I've had at FSU. Would take any class taught by Joab. Keeps everything about learning fun to the point that I actually wanted to go to class.
Joab was an amazing teacher. It was so easy to listen to his lectures and really keeps things interesting! Honestly he's probably one of the best teachers at Florida State. He really knows his stuff and really likes his job. If I didn't have it at 9:30 AM I would have gone more and probably would have gotten an A. SHOW UP TO CLASS he uses iClicker.
The best teacher I have ever had an FSU. If you don't take him for micro and macro you're a fool. He gives so much extra credit and makes the material easy to understand! I got an A easily. He really cares about his students and it makes you feel good about putting in the work!
Professor Corey makes a fairly boring class more interesting. His classes include a lot of interactive games to help your understandings. The difference between a A and B in the class is the iclicker questions. These questions tend to show up on the test. .
Joab is an excellent professor. He truly loves economics and often uses analogies to help his students understand concepts. He's very receptive to feedback and gives very clear expectations for homework, papers and exams. Ultimately he just creates an excellent learning environment where students aren't afraid to ask questions. Take him if you can!
If you have the chance to take an upper level economics course with Joab, please do it! He is the best professor I've had in economics and made this class extremely interesting. Attendance is required but I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to show up anyways.
Joab is an amazing teacher, but there were a few drawbacks to his class. One thing is that he gears his class towards students who most likely are not economic majors which takes away from those who learn best when taught from an economic stand point. All in all he was a good teacher, just read your notes and his powerpoints and you'll get an A.
Amazing professor! His teaching is great and really helps you understand basic economics. His tests are fair and he gives a lot of opportunity to do well. Very educational course even if you have no interest in economics. Learned so much! Extra credit opportunities often and so much fun!
Joab is the best professor I have had at FSU. He makes such a dull subject exciting and somewhat entertaining. very helpful!!!! TAKE HIM!
This dude is the man plain and simple. Makes economics fun and entertaining. He can do backflips and owns a boxing gym. Super chill guy. Wish he taught every class at FSU.
He is very interactive and knows how to teach.
In love with Joab. He is so fun and engaging. He uses real world examples to help students better understand the concepts and plans fun activities to get us involved. I was dreading this class and it ended up being my favorite.
He's the man. Take his class, you won't regret it.
Best ever.
Joab is the best teacher I have had at FSU. He wants you to do well and will do whatever he can to make sure you pass! Take this class. You won't regret it! His lectures are full of great examples and he makes it so easy to understand!
My favorite professor at FSU. I took him for Intro to Economics, as well as Microeconomics. As long as you show up to class, pay attention, and go over your notes before the test you shouldn't have any problem getting an A.
Joab is awesome!! I loved him for ECO2000. I actually look forward to his class because he's funny, knows what he is talking about, and makes the material understandable. Make sure to go to class as much as possible as he starts to have pop quizzes and activities, which are easy points! So much extra credit
He is the best professor I have actually ever had. He is so clear of what he expects from you and makes it very possible to get an A.
I signed up for this class expecting for it to be very dull. I didn't expect an amazing teacher who would do back flips and cartwheels in class just to help students learn. Joab truly made this class very enjoyable and easy to understand despite the various topics. Its easy to get an A as long as you study before exams and show up to class.
Joab is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He loves what he does and will inspire you with his background and keep you entertained with his hilarious stories about West Virginia. The info is not easy, but if you pay attention and go to class, you will get an A.
Joab is the best professor I've had so far and I doubt anyone will top him. The passion he has for economics shines through, but so does his love for making sure students are successful in understanding his courses. I thought economics would be boring but his sense of humor really brings a 9:30am to life. Wish I could have him every semester!
Very easy econ teacher and very enthusiastic. Loves to teach and his lectures are funny so you're not bored as hell. Had many review sessions on the weekends for the exams. Very thorough and helpful in class lectures and posted notes online. Powerpoint's were pretty effective as well, and the exams were pretty much based off the lecture/power point
Very good professor. He is passionate about economics and the lectures are very interesting. You will never get bored in his class.
One of my favorite professors at FSU. He makes even the most boring parts of economics interesting and he makes lectures fun. Joab is an amazing human being and I would definitely take him again if I could!! Also, go to class on the off-chance that he will flip over tables, because he does acrobatics sometimes and it is AWESOME
Very easy class. Joab teaches micro and macro, after taking macro I was definitely going to take his micro class. Easy A if you go to class, do every assignment and participate with transmitters. Did not study at all and finished with an A Take joab for micro and macro you won't regret it. And make sure he does his famous backflip.
He has hysterical stories! Take this class with him if you have the chance! He is the best economics teacher!
Very helpful, offers study guides, practice questions, review sessions for tests, extra credit, and more. He makes economics fun and enjoyable with games, activities, and videos. I will be taking macro with him next semester.
Great class! Lectures are long but pay attention and take notes and you will do well! Plenty of opportunity for extra credit, always go because you never know when there will be an extra credit quiz! Awesome class
He gives LOTS of extra credit, online quizzes, participation points by using iClickers and explains things clearly using interesting examples. I ended up with over 100%. He is hilarious and uses lots of interactive games to help students grasp concepts. Overall great professor!!!
JOAB IS THE BEST!
Joab is honestly a great guy who loves what he teaches and gives you real life situations of when you'll need the material he is teaching. Great guy, great professor, great class. Also pretty fun class.
Joab is an amazing teacher! He's funny and makes the material interesting. He is very patient and answers all questions. The class is easy enough to pass as long as you actually go. The grading system is fair and designed to allow you to miss a few assignments and points. I would recommend this class to anyone, I actually enjoyed it.
I slacked off the whole semester and pulled through. This class is fun, he is inspirational and you will learn a great deal in this class. Joab is hilarious and you will have such an amazing time in class and your grade will truly reflect your efforts in the course. Lots of iClicker questions daily and Extra Credit.
JOAB IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT THE UNIV. IVE TAKEN TWO COURSES WITH HIM. ATTENDANCE IS TECHNICALLY NOT MANDATORY BUT IF YOU DONT GO YOU DONT GET PARTICIPATION POINTS THROUGH ICLICKER WHICH WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO PASS (HE SAYS THIS). EXAMS ARENT TOUGH IF YOU GO TO CLASS. HE HAS REVIEW SESSIONS. HES SO ENTHUSIASTIC.
By far one of my favorite teachers at FSU. Didnt mind going to class for lectures since he's so passionate about Economics, but by far was a boring subject generally. Made the class fun but DEFINITELY go to class since he gives pop quizzes just about every other day. Joab is very open so don't be afraid to ask questions, looks good for his age.
Absolutely my favorite professor at FSU. He's funny, clear, knowledgable, and professional. He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities and all the material comes from the lectures(which he posts on blackboard!) so all the necessary information is very accessible. He provides real-world examples within his lectures that really help you grasp it!
So amazing! He really wants you to succeed and will work hard to make sure you do. Goes above and beyond in terms of clarity and is always there for a questions.
The only problem is he's too easy! Highly recommend this class. Plenty of EC opportunities and clicker attendance points. no book was used. Passed with an A.
Such a great professor! he gives personal examples that really allow you to understand the material. Really funny but the material can be hard. Beware the first exam is pretty easy but the second gets substantially harder. Study and pay attention and you will be fine. Don't miss class and take good notes and the class is a breeze.
Economics isn't necessarily easy but he does everything i his power ti give you an A. Just show up to class and take advantage of the extra credit and you can't possibly get less then a B. Cool guy with a lot of energy. Take notes in class!!
He's great. He'll answer any question and is always willing to help. He's open to feedback. Go to class and get the iClicker points. My only complaint is that economics is so natural to him that he has a hard time understanding why people don't understand. You have to spell out your confusion which can be hard because you're confused. But he tries.
Joab really loves his job and teaching. You should go to class bc theres clicker points but all of his lectures are on line. Great guy
Easy A as long as you go to every class (pop quizzes). Provides review sessions before every test. Makes learning interesting/fun.
Joab really loves his job and teaching. You should go to class bc theres clicker points but all of his lectures are on line. Great guy. He is the man
Great guy, sad to hear that he is leaving FSU. He knows economics inside and out and definitely wants to help in every way he can.
Joab was the best professor I've ever had. Never have I ever looked forward to going to class more. He made complex ideas so easy to grasp and remember. He is so fair about all of the assignments he gives and really wants you to do well. I was looking forward to taking micro with him in the fall, so I'm super disappointed that he's leaving FSU.
There's one problem with Joab. He is stupendous! Seriously though, if you apply yourself to what he teaches, things will come naturally when studying for exams. Plenty of XC offered throughout the semester too. I went from hating economics in HS to liking it now in college. Not teaching @ FSU anymore, but I would take him again if I had the chance.
I took ECO 2000 with Joab and I loved it. He turned a subject that I found boring and pointless into one of my favorite classes. I learned so much for the class and for my personal life. His analogies are clear and memorable, and he makes the class laugh often. Take him if you ever have the opportunity!
Joab really is an amazing professor! I've learned so much while being in his class. It's so sad that he's leaving FSU!
This is my second economics class with Joab and I can honestly say that he has truly impacted the way I think about the economy . Easy class if you pay attention. 2 tests, transmitter questions (need at least 70% right), 2 exams, one midterm, various online quizzes, and numerous activities. Any excess points can be counted as extra credit
This is by far the best teacher I have ever had at FSU. He makes learning fun and want you to pass. So sad that he is leaving FSU I would have definitely taken him again if I could. He gives you all the extra credit one can need. He is awesome
Joab was a solid teacher. tests were somewhat hard and lectures were the entire hour 15 almost every time.
Joab was such an awesome teacher. Lectures were clear and he put everything online as well. We were able to miss some in class activities and quizzes with no penalty to the final grade which was nice but his lectures were relatable and informative so going to class was well worth it. He listened to feedback from students. And offered extra credit.
Joab was honestly just a really nice guy who really cared about Econ and it definitely showed. Definitely tired to make it as interesting as possible for a class of 500 students. The workload wasn't bad, just need to make sure you can explain the topics without any assistance and you should be just fine.
Joab is one of the best teachers I have ever had! Such a genuine guy and really wants to help you succeed. He makes economics easy to understand. Hardly any homework, but ten pop quizzes. They are super easy as long as you listen to his stories in class and understand the general ideas. Exams are almost entirely pop quiz questions, so study those!
Joab Corey is the best teacher I have had, and likely will ever have. Amazingly, his 525 person lecture class at FSU inspired me to be an economics major. He is hilarious, knowledgable, and enthusiastic. The class is easy but you learn a lot. I arranged my schedule around getting Joab and it was an awesome decision -- He is a must take for econ
My all time favorite professor. He changed the course of my life.
Joab changed my outlook on life. His lectures are full of real world examples. He's funny and is incredible at lectures. The content in his lectures is ALWAYS useful, applicable, and WILL be included on the exams. Inversely, the content on the exams comes straight from the lecture! Best class I've ever taken, largely due to his exceptional ability.
great prof!
Really great teacher, communicates brilliantly. Class is fun and not too hard.
He is such a motivational speaker, his lectures are so fun, the time flies by because youre actually paying attention to everything he does! He's always in his office and willing to do extra office hours. He offers 2-3 review sessions before every test, and extra opportunities in tons of diff ways
Best professor I've had so far. He instructs very good and is very sociable. He has a way of explaining economic concepts through examples and metaphors that will help you understand everything.
He is an amazing professor. Lectures were very engaging and funny. His tests were not easy, but the material is interesting and not hard to study. He is the best professor and totally worth it.
I took Joab in 2014 but didn't really know about this site at the time. Figured I'd add to the sea of positivity. His class will literally tempt you to switch to an economics major from how great he is. Simply put, there probably is not a better educator out there. I would highly recommend taking any class you can with him.
Really good teacher. I liked him alot. Most of all he made learning economics something that was fun and interesting.
Best teacher that I ever had. Really knows how to make economics fun.
I am graduating this semester and I can honestly say that Corey was the best professor I had at FSU. Too bad he is not still here. I loved this class.
I absolutely love Joab Corey. He was the best professor that I had in 4 years at FSU. Did not want to do this class but Corey made it fun and easy to do.
Corey is such a great teacher. He is an understanding guy who only wants you to succeed. Attendance isn't mandatory but you want to go to this class. ! He makes class fun, so there is really no reason not to go. TAKE HIM.
He was a really good teacher. Always lot of fun and you really learned.
