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 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!

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.

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.
