Great Teacher! Tough tests

No Comments

good teacher - you must study.

If you go to class and study the old tests that he gives you, you'll do fine...he keeps class kind of entertaining with his corny jokes

Make sure you memorize the old tests and you will probably do fine. His jokes get old and he has a hard time remembering names, but class is worth going to.

He does a good job of relating a potentially boring subject. Highly reccomended!

Funny, dedicated. He memorized every student's name even though the class was fairly large. Makes interesting handouts.

He is really funny in class. I enjoyed it. The tough tests are offset by the problem sets that he assigns. He told us the first day that "(He) is leniant towards people who sleep in class."

Tests are real hard...

Dr. Lovett's class was easy and informative. He managed to keep the class interesting even though economics is usually a boring subject.

This class was easy...a lot of people expect it to be so, so they dont do well. The teacher is nice and helpful. I got a B.

Great Prof. Really funny.

He's not bad at all. He does go on several tangents, but if you take a MWF class, he's harmless. His tests aren't that bad, and he posts old tests on his website anyway. Take him; you'll thank me later.

One of my favorite teachers at TCU; made me decide to minor in Economics because I loved the class. Prof. Lovett is interesting, fun, and great, even though the subject can be hard.

Took him for both classes. Overall a very good guy. Classes are early in the morning. Don't have to get A's or high B's on his tests to get an A in the class. Lots of online grade inflators. Has old tests on web site and often cut/paste.

Goes off on many tangents and tests aren't necessarily from lecture. Definately look over all of the old tests that he posts online because some questions repeat.

Need to study old tests and look over book. Requires some work, I got an A in both macro and micro. He also gives you many chances to bring up your grade and drops a test. Serious cheeseball jokes, but he is always willing to help.

his class is hard and so are his tests. you have to work REALLY hard to get an A. he is a big econ nerd BUT he is genuinely a nice guy. always willing to help but not good at explaining. i actually learned a lot from his class.

Very wierd but laughable. He gives lot of opportunities for grades and hwk. Some material will appear out of nowhere on the tests. Always smiling. Overall, a good experience.

Funny, interesting, an ENORMOUS econ nerd... but is off topic 75% of the time. Test are a B****, def. look at his old exams, and STAY UP WITH YOUR WORK, no joke. I dropped this class!!! Take Quinn!

This class was easy for me. He drops the lowest test grade and has lots of bonus. The lectures help some, but reading the book is a must. He puts old versions of the tests online and they are the exact same as his test. Highly reccomended.

well...i love the guy!! But economics is not for me! His test are a little frustrating, and his lectures are not that helpful. But you cant be mad at him. hes a really nice guy. i have a c, but i know others with an A. So its possible...if your good at that kinda stuff.

Always have to read something that he still hasn't taught in class. However, easy multiple choice exams. If you read the book and look over previous exams, you will definitely get an A. Lot's of extra credits, and very easy online quizes.

Helpfull teacher, not very clear on class material but do the chapter reviews and look over old test and you can get an A.

Took this guy and did aweful in the class. He is really nice though! I am not a math person and his tests consist of a lot of it and reasoning! I am taking this class again under someone else. he gives out online quizes though and HW assignments. These should help the grade too.

This class in by no means easy, but he gives tons of extra worksheets and online assignments to really help you understand the material. Can act childish in class, but it's usually funny and can keep it entertaining. If you put in the studying and the work you can get an A.

Very hard class but nice professor! The tests are extremely hard but if you go over old tests that it helps a lot. Also if you go to his office hours he is very helpful. He has problem sets, participation points, and attendance points so those help your grade a lot. I would recommend this class but requires a lot of effort.

He's a cool guy! He uses time to kind of explain what you were supposed to of read ON YOUR OWN! He uses his website often and is very willing to help. He's entertaining! If you want to do well in the class, you can! I'm taking him again next semester for Macro!

If you can get past his stupid humor and not let that distract you from the class, he's a good teacher. You need to know stuff out of the book, but it's not that bad. He really knows his stuff and is really willing to help, he's just not always clear. Good grades are very easy to come by as long as you do the reading and homework

i honestly don't see hwo this guy could get any bad reviews, he clearly tells you whats going to be on the tests and he tells really dorky jokes all class period. Very possible to pull an A in

This was on of the easiest classes I have ever taken. Dr Lovett is a little goofy sometimes, but in general he's a very good teacher, and does his best to make things interesting. If you read the book and do the quizes assigned, you're almost certain of a good grade.

He's a great teacher and never fails to keep things interesting. He rambles a bit but other than that, he is a great teacher who really promotes class participation in arespectful way. If you read the book, go to class and look at old exams online, you definitely get an A.

For every test, he post the questions from the previous years test that you should look at. There are problem sets that count for one fifth of your grade and they are easy A's that take 5 minutes each. I studied the old exams that he post online and got a A in the class. Study the old exams and you will be fine. I talks about his daughters alot, bu

I have taken two classes with doctor Lovett, Intro to Macro and U.S. Economic History II. Dr. Lovett is a great professor and with some studying his test are bad. He is a professor that wants to see his students do well, he even post his old exam on his website. He's very easy to get a hold of and returns emails quickly. Great professor!

You got to Lovett!

hilarious, interesting class. he's hard but i always enjoyed going to class. all in all i think i learned a lot

Fairly easy as long as you take notes and attend class. He takes questions directly from his old tests which he gives you. He's very entertaining and I would definitely suggest taking him.

Great professor! He's crazy and eccentric, but in the best way. Makes class time interesting, although his notes are somewhat confusing. Puts old tests on internet for you to study. Gives you many opportunities to improve your grade...worksheets, reading quizzes, extra credit. Take LOVETT!

Very funny and interesting. The way he teaches you feel u didn't learn anything till you are in class but once you think abt the class u'll realzie u learned so much. easy grader, go to class and do the assignments u'll b fine.

Good professor- knows his stuff. slightly disorganized but very helpful. you get points for attendance so go to class! Puts old tests online to study- these are helpful. Makes macroecon interesting and is a funny guy. Take him for economics!

He is knowledgeable and his lectures are entertaining because he makes the goofiest little jokes here and there. Class is easy. His book is online and he wrote it. Your grade (+/-) depends on exams, quizzes, problem sets, and attendance all of which he drops one or more of the worst grades. HIGHLY RECOMMEND weather you like econ or not.

I really enjoyed this class. The teacher is hilarious, friendly and approachable. He wrote his own textbook, so its free and online. His tests are harder than he prepares you for but the average test grade is still a B+. I highly recommend this class

Great teacher! Extremely helpful in and out of class. Teaches lessons in a way we can all understand. He makes silly jokes a lot in class (funny jokes, not "hey let's laugh so he doesn't hate us" jokes) which helps to lighten up the lecture. DO THE HOMEWORK! Not just for the credit but because it really does help you understand the material.

Dr. Lovett was a fantastic professor!! His class made Econ kinda fun. He gives you old tests on his website to help you study and can answer any questions during his office hours. In fact, all I did was read and do some sample questions and I got a 100 on the final! Great teacher and highly recommend him!

Entertaining professor but the lectures rarely teach more than the book (and usually a lot less). He wrote the text book: it's around $80 but it's a workbook so you can't return it at the end of the semester. Overall he's a great guy and it's an easy class.

He has a quirky sense of humor which makes the class much more enjoyable.

This guy is weird. Weirder than weird. But he is a very good prof. Not the most interesting class, but he does a good job at teaching it and he tries to keep the class interested. He uses lots of good examples that will stick with you. His tests are pretty difficult, especially compared to what is gone over in class. but not hard to get a solid B.

Very wierd/ADD teacher. GO SEE HIM IN OFFICE HOURS!!! If you see him in office hours, he will clarify things a lot and will give you the right answers for your reading quizzes. The tests are almost all multiple choice, and pretty easy. You have to go to class (he gives points for attendance), but I would definitely reccomend him.

He can be confusing, but he is really good with clearing things up if you meet with him during his office hours. He's really funny, which keeps the class interesting, and it's not too hard. He drops your lowest test grade, as well as your lowest quiz and homework grades. I'm in his Macro class and I would recommend him

Mr. Lovett is AWESOME! this is a great class. He is very quirky and funny which makes class easy to sit through. he wrote the textbook, and its not boring. He drops a test grade which meant I got to skip the final. I definitely recommend this class!

Lovett is really quirky and can get off topic, but overall a good teacher. His book is really well written and gives tons of examples to help. He drops your lowest test, quiz and problem set score. Really nice guy and easy enough class. I would take him again. You have to go to class though! Mandatory attendance!

Very nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Very helpful. Definitely try to take him

Dr. Lovett is HILARIOUS! He makes going to class fun. The one problem he has is he's EXTREMELY disorganized! He'll spend half of class handing papers back and has to rush through class to cram everything in. His problem sets can be challenging, but if you read, you'll do well in the class.

His MacroEcon course has been great to attend. He's a bit disorganized and often shifts tests and assignment dates, but outside of that, he does a great job. Very clear and takes just the right amount of grades (as well as plenty of extra credit opportunities).

I loved Lovett's class! I am never bored during his lectures. He's very quirky and funny! There's 4 tests and some problem sets, but it's all relatively easy. I study 2 hours max for each test. I would recommend.

Great guy, wicked funny in that awkward guy kind of way. He really does care and will be more than happy to help you. You don't really have to pay attention in class, just show up for attendance, and read the book. Also take the quizzes he puts on his website and you'll be fine

(Macro) Dr. Lovett is very funny, which kept me alert during his class. He was available outside of class and his tests were not hard. You do miss points if you miss class more than three times. I highly recommend him for introductory macroeconomics.

I have no earthly idea how anyone can ever get anything below a B in Lovett's classes. Tests are easy,no need to read the book. He often digresses, and he is an awkward, corny, guy in the best way possible! Go to class and get an easy A, as long as you can stand cheesy jokes.

pretty easy class as long as you read the book which isn't hard at all because he wrote the book! he sometimes goes off topic and it gets boring but its not an impossible class. definitely one of the better macro teachers. easy A if you study and work hard

Incredibly easy class...sometimes too easy to the point that I can't believe it is a college class and not high school. Lectures are pretty slow as he takes a long time to explain elementary theories and formulas. He makes class entertaining with his odd sense of humor, plus provides review sessions and good study materials online.

Very confusing when trying to explain topics..tells horrible and jokes. One positive is that he holds review sessions and has practice exams online. Attendance is mandatory, but he is very flexible if you are sick or going to miss with a legit excuse.

My favorite teacher this semester! He is hilarious and made me absolutely LOVE Econ! TAKE HIM! He genuinely cares about his students and holds review sessions before all his exams. He made me laugh out loud every class but also taught me so much! Highly recommend this professor.

Dr. Lovett is great. Yes he does tell quirky jokes during class, but he's a nice guy that will help you if you ask. He's a little slow with emails sometimes, but when he does answer, he's pretty thorough. Take his class, he's great!

Dr. Lovett is the man. Easy tests and easier grader if you show up to class everyday. Also tells quirky jokes that are so bad they are funny. Highly recommend taking him at TCU.

John is great. He loves coal and steam punk. Real honest about what he knows and doesn't. Fair grader. His sense of humor is an acquired taste but if you appreciate cringe humor he's funny. Don't expect him to remember your name let alone pronounce it correctly.

Lovett is an awesome guy, took his Industrial Revolution class and loved it. He brought in awesome models for technology from the Middle Ages to demo topics and all the tests were based entirely on the lecture material so you don't have to read. 2 papers, one 3,000 word and one 5,000, but you can use most of the 3,000 word one in the 5,000 word one

I love Lovett! His classes are so entertaining because of how odd he is/ how bad his constant jokes are, but he is aware of it which makes it funnier. He wants everyone to do well & is always available to help. class material is kinda boring (as is every econ hist class) but somehow teaches it in a way that is engaging and easy. 11/10 TAKE HIM!!!

I love this professor! It's an ECON class, so you are used to reading a lot! He does quizzes every week, and attendance is mandatory (you can only miss three classes, or your grade will be affected). He is funny, but you must pay attention in class to get a good grade. There is only a big paper at the end of the semester and four exams. TAKE NOTES!

He is a weird guy... but I liked him a lot and very genuine! intro to Macro isn't too bad just pay attention and do the study guide and you will do great. I don't dread his class bc he's a great teacher, gives examples which are weird but actually helpful and makes a boring subject bearable. just make sure you go to class.

I was one of those people who failed economics in high school but Lovett has a really fun way of teaching and although he does rant quite a lot his class is never boring, I think he's a great econ professor and I would take him for even micro if he taught it.

Cares for his students. Clearly loves what he teaches. Values input and participation. Great professor. I would take a class of his again, if possible.

Makes you buy and read the textbook he wrote. Easy class, easy A, fun teacher although he may be strange with his demonstrations, I enjoyed my time in his class.

Lovett is a great professor he truly cares about his students. He's hilarious in his own way and really wants everyone to succeed. Prepare to hear a lecture most of the class time but he prints out packets each week to help with note-taking to make sure you have the info you need.

Dr Lovett is a great professor who wants you to succeed and you will 100% do well if you show up and listen in class as well. Reading ahead of time can guarantee extra credit points every class and going to office hours to review before an exam is super helpful! Lectures are easy to follow and engaging.

Professor Lovett was a caring and intentional instructor. His lectures were engaging and he created an environment for students to interact with the class and ask questions. This class did involve a lot of reading outside of class, but it was beneficial. Overall, I recommend Professor Lovett and would take his course again!

Dr Lovett made every class interesting and engaging. The workload was relatively light and mainly revolved around reading a textbook chapter and discussing it in class. Test reviews were always direct examples of what the actual exam was like. Overall the class was very enjoyable, and made me very excited about being in the business school.

While Prof. Lovett has a unique teaching style, his ECON10223 class is engaging and rewarding. The workload is manageable, and Unstuck study proved helpful for exam prep alongside the textbook.

Professor Lovett is a great professor! Take him! I took ap micro in high school and was nervous for macro but this class was so much easier. He is funny and goes off on tangents often but is very engaging. I never dreaded going to this class. You can get bonus points everyday if you answer a question. Exams are easy if u study. Best prof! Take him!

I don't know why his rate is bad like this bc I think it is an easy A class when you can have a lot of extra points by raising your hand, which one extra point = one point in your exam. The test is similar to the guide for each test. You have to practice it and GO TO CLASS if u want to get good score.

I've taken his class for two semesters now and I love his class so much. His lectures are funny and he genuinely cares about his students. As long as you pay attention in class you will do well. He also offers a lot of extra credit. His classes really remind me why I love economics.

I have had Dr. Lovett for two semesters, soon to be three, and he is the best! Show up to class, take notes, and you will do well. Daily online quizzes but they help your grade and the exams are so similar to the review. He is very understanding if you need to miss class also!

Dr. Lovett is a fantastic professor, I've had him for two semesters now. He's kind, caring, and makes class genuinely fun. His humor keeps lectures engaging, and he truly wants his students to succeed. He also offers plenty of extra credit. Take him! You won't regret it!

Mr. Lovett was an awesome teacher! The class is easy as long as you try and read the textbook. He also gives out a lot of extra credit for answering questions in class. I really enjoyed learning about economics and his classes were engaging and fun. However, his lectures are confusing at times (especially if you do not do the reading).
