Avoid! No not pass GO . Rude and insulting to students. Barks out his lectures. It is worth an entire extra semester in school to avoid this instructor. I am a honor student giving this advice.

THIS is the absolute worst professor I have ever taken!!! I studied my butt off for exams, and they were still extremely difficult. He even lied about the curve, and I believed I was going to get a B in the class, and ended up with a D!! He makes fun of people, yet he collects telephone books!! F-

Urged students to make appointments to see him if you were having trouble in the class. Well i did and he totally ignored me all the time i had the conference with him in his office. Urged me to stay in class and not drop as he would assign extra credit, Well only the favorites got it. u Suck!

This is the worst class I HAVE EVER TAKEN. He is very arrogant and labels students. He belives that because he has a PHD he knows everthing.. Very difficult to understand him, his Test are designed to make you fail, He is an ****. I encourege you to not take him, if you don't want to ruine your GPA.

It is stupid to think that if you don't like him that you are lazy. This is the second class I'm taking with him. I got an a in the first one. I have never taken a class where taking a test makes me furious. The test's layout induces stress. He is confusing and arrogant. He thinks bad grades are your fault and makes u feel idotic. I hate him.

He believes himself to be GOD. He's the worst teacher EVER! And he is no help.From what I heard you can do better not attending class cause he just coruptes your mind with useless information.DON'T TAKE HIM if you can avoid it.

I am a PHd. student now but when I took this guy I I was an undergrad which was in 2000. I failed this class twice and he is a total jerk. I went to all the SI's and all the tutoring. I hope that this information helps people out. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!

This is the WORST class I have taken at UTSA. The presentation of the course material is disorganized and difficult to follow. The exams are not difficult, but he kills you with an unreasonable number of questions. Frankly Econ Managerial Decisions does a much better job at covering the same material in a much more concise and logical manner.BEWARE

Get ready to be stressed and overworked just to pass.Listen to me, a near 4.0 GPA student. He claims to have done SO much educational research but he doesn't know how to conduct a class.He is disrespectful and condescending to students and his interpretation of material is vague. Exams are VERY long and nearly impossible to complete. Stay FAR away!

This class caused my to lose sleep at night. I got an A in the class but still felt drained and exhausted after the tests. Learn ways to understand the material on your own if you can, as the lectures are very fast and not completely clear. The APLIA helps a lot to learn the basics of the class.

if you wanna lower your GPA take this class. he is horrible.l'm an international student and after two weeks l began to understand what he says.he makes things harder:((

He's smart and wants his students to learn but he doesn't know how to teach. His class is intimidating, if you don't need it don't bother taking him. Bad professor overall, not very helpful.

worst teacher I have ever had in my whole college career

Hybrid Class - Completely disorganized. Attempts to manage students through discussion threads, b difficult to navigate. Horrible communicator, condescending. PHD? Well good for him. He made a comment "why should I go over power points students can read on their own". Ans: Because we PAY you to. If you're so miserable then step aside.

I was thinking about doing a minor in Economics and he made me hate it so much! Very difficult class, lectures are long and boring. Every time he wants to "clarify" a question, he ends up confusing us even more!!

He wrote his own "book" for the class which had a lot of typos and was hard to understand. I had to find my own explanations for the concepts he was trying to teach because he was not helpful. There were also typos in the homework and the tests. I did not drop the class even though I wanted to because he is the only option.

He was not very helpful and his recorded lectures were hard to understand. After every exam, he sent out multiple angry email rants. He once suggested that every one drop the class and take it again in the fall. Extra credit options were given, but they required you to travel to the downtown campus. Would avoid taking his class if possible.

Terrible. He made this class really hard!

I have no words.

Hardest professor Ive ever had. Is not considerate. Makes you pay $40 on a single website JUST for attendance plus another source. Gets angry if there is no participation. Lots of homework. Hard tests.

Would not recommend taking this class. Find a better professor. This is a 2000 level class which he teaches at a 3000 if not higher level. Not good for a beginning micro eco class. In class tells us how he is thinking about changing around questions to trick us on the tests.

The most tough professor I have taken so far. Theres many chances for extra credit for the reason the class is so hard. He teaches his class as if we are experts already. He definitely assumes everyone knows what his talking about. Dont do it. If you really need this class wait for a bother semester to take it with a different professor

HIGHLY suggest taking a different prof. He treats his class as more of a Q&A session or a "reinforcement" so pretty much teach yourself. He provides online videos that are basically the same things he says in class and a free textbook to "save you money" but makes you pay around $80 just for attendance and practice quiz apps...

Bad Lectures really boring goes off topic a lot try to avoid getting this teacher if you go in with questions he will answer them. Other than that he expects you to know and read the book

DO NOT TAKE HIM if you screw up he tries to say that its not his fault.

Surprisingly belittling prof. considering the amount of errors in his material. Don't point them out though because he will turn the conversation to your supposed poor grasp of the (frequently poor) material. Plenty of vague questions on HW and tests that conceivably have multiple correct answers, but "one is more correct."

His lectures aren't very helpful. You spend the majority of the time trying to read the textbook and just teach yourself. Don't take this professor unless you have no choice!!

Hopefully this professor will be the worst Ill ever have. Micro is a hard class for many people, but If you want a professor to actually teach you and who doesn't expect you to come in to lectures having understood the concepts already, do not take this class. This professor is a very respected economist but a bad professor. I don't recommend.

Don't take this professor at all cost. He does not teach adequately or explain himself when questions are asked. There is no way to study for his test and exams because he makes up his own questions that don't even come from the book. BEWARE to teach yourself!!!! Don't take him!!!!! He doesn't give extra credit so there is absolutely no way to pass

this is by far the worst professor I have had and I am a junior here. Does not know how to teach, talk and talks but never gets to the lesson. By all costs take anyone else but this man.

some stuff are not in the book but are on the exams, he doesn't actually explain anything in lectures

This professor doesn't teach so you have to teach yourself. The exams are worth majority of your grade and are unbelievably hard. During lectures, he goes off into his own thoughts, and doesn't seem to be following the material in the textbook. The Knewtons are easy but don't help with exams an only worth 8%. Avoid this teacher at all costs!

Terrible. Horrible. I cannot describe how bad this "professor" is. Wants you to learn material on your own and claims he's there to teach (his exact words were "I'm not here to teach, I'm here to clarify.") The lectures were useless, all he did was claim the material was easy and we should already know it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
