Fairly easy class, the material's just not that interesting. Uses Power Point slides for the class and posts them on Moodle. Tests were not very difficult but you do need to study, usually has a review before the test. Takes attendance daily and it counts as 100 points. Drops lowest test grade, so the final is optional.

Teacher was pretty good. Like others said, the material is boring but if you can manage to pay attention then the test arent too hard. Plus he does a review and gives out a study guide before each test. I've taken him for ECON 201 & 202 and the material has some similarities so once you grasp the basic concept the class isnt very difficult.

Boring. He reads straight from the slides, then embellishes, but by that point those who are ADD have already left the building mentally. If you are sick and miss class but have an excuse, you can get your absences back but not the points, which bit. It's an easy subject, and an easy class, if you pay attention.

Took him for ECON 201 and 202. Great teacher, but unfortunately I'll have to move on to other ECON teachers now. Most of the class is applied common sense, and his lectures match the book perfectly, so there's no need to take notes. It's easy to make an A or B on his tests without studying, so long as you attend every class and pay attention.
