Impossible to follow, Writes with his left hand as he erases with his right and talks to the blackboard. Avoid him if possible

worst teacher i've ever had. You will not like his teaching style at all. You will want to kill yourself sitting through his lectures.

He is extremely incompetent. As people say in Texas, he couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel.

Not recommended

He is the worst teacher i ever had in my life..I'm telling you..don't take this teacher..never..

He needs to give background for his teaching Math, some students memorize math

Worst professor Ive ever had. Im taking him spring 2010 right now, and hes terrible. i scheduled an appointment with him during his office hours, and he never showed up and never apologized for not showing up. he doesnt care about his students or what you get in his class. this is the hardest class ive ever taken, and he in no way cares on helping.

worst prof ever. went to 3 of his office hours, 1 he didnt show up to & the other he was 15 minutes late to. he wont help you with the homework at all, and told me not to email him if i have any questions. the coursepack he wrote so he gets all the money for it, his notes are by hand in class& are illegible.he doesnt care about his students at all.

worst teacher ive ever had, & puts western to shame. hes loud,takes off his shoe and sock during class to make a point,and cancels class without emailing students. theres only 3 tests in the class and theyre impossible. the coursepack makes no sense and he hand writes all of his notes which are terrible.im missing like every third word in my notes.

i agree, worst handwriting in the world. dont bother buying the coursepack it makes no sense bc he wrote it. hes a terrible teacher and shouldnt even be allowed to teach. avoid at all costs!!!

The worst teacher ever i believed that i could get past all the bad reviews and take his class anyways, but in the end all the reviews were right. honestly save your money and find another teacher because this one never made sense

Trust the warnings dont take this class!

He's left handed and he writes out all notes. If you don't have to take him I wouldn't but it's easy to pass.

Worst teacher ive had in my life.he doesnt care about his studetns at all,listen to warnings on this site before taking him! i had to withdraw from his class this semester, making me lose my scholarship.i went from a 3.4 gpa,to having to drop his class.he doesnt care, has terrible handwriting. if you want to continue enjoying college,dont take him.

His lecture is 50 minutes of him writing on colored paper with a felt marker that is being projected via doc cam and you vigorously trying to keep up. Don't expect to say a word during those 50 minutes and if he catches you on your phone you will be marked absent. Attendance is mandatory, but good luck passing without these notes & extra credit

His notes are worthless. He asks questions and doesn't even answer them in his own notes. The homework is all on government websites and good luck asking for help. study guide is a replica of the final, but its still extremely hard to find the correct answers because the study guide is so vague. Bronco study zone could hardly help.

Professor Neill's ECON 2020 was the hardest course I have taken so far. His notes are nearly illegible and he was not willing to help me or other students when asked. The entire course was based on 2 exams, 3 homework assignments, and 1 final. As an honors student, I failed 2 of the 3 exams and the homework saved my grade. Do not take his section.

Professor neill is a funny guy with some of the stories he tells. No text book as a reference or to try and learn on your own. In lectures he write notes out but you can barley read what he writes. exams are exactly what the study guides said. if your majoring in economics i would advise not to take him because he offers no help to you

You would think that a professor with a doctorate would know what he is doing. He has the worst hand writing you will ever see, and the whole class is him lecturing. There is no book, and even though the study guides are almost identical to the exam, The answers are almost impossible to find. Good luck with his notes. Worst teacher I've had yet!

Beware! This is by far the worst professor I have ever had. No textbook to fall back on, only point opportunities came from 3 exams and 2 homework assignments. Will provide inconsistent notes 'transcribed' from those he HAND WRITES during the lecture. These are to be used to complete his vague and incomplete study guides. AVOID

Professor Neil has an enjoyable sense of humor. His analogies are rather funny as well if you're paying attention. There is NO BOOK, he provides you with written notes; beware, his handwriting is hard to decipher. Tests are hard. Study Guides are hard. I'm not sure I learned anything. Attendance for points. I felt lost mostly all semester.

He is by far the worst teacher I have ever seen. His handwriting makes you question what language it is, along with the fact that he covers half the page with his hand when writing (he is a lefty). He speeds through notes in class and never answers questions. Do not take this class, even if you plan on studying hard, its impossible to follow.

In class he hand writes the notes, while he talks. It goes really fast & his hand writing is horrible. He also goes really fast. The study guides are exactly like the exam, but he makes them almost impossible to fill out. He makes up himself, in these little story lines. TAKE THIS COURSE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Attendance 8pts extra credit that it

Jon was a terrible teacher. He would hand write his presentations and his handwriting was terrible. He would rush through his lesson without really teaching. I only passed by the grace of god. I failed every test but did very well on the homework. He curves your grade which is good.

This professor doesn't use a book, there's maybe 1 home work assignment assigned through the whole semester. It all relies on exams which are super hard because they're based on his lectures. In his lectures he does hand written notes, his hand writing is barely legible. I would recommend avoiding his class because you will have the hardest time.

DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! He is rude, unhelpful and he will call you out during the lecture to belittle students. Keep in mind if you are a hard working student with a question he will not answer them.

Terrible teacher. Impossible class to pass, his handwriting is TERRIBLE. He's just grumpy all the time and he moves so fast when teaching its impossible to catch up. His handwriting is legit ineligible so if you miss something or don't hear him you're screwed. Hated this class so much, worst grade I've gotten because of him.

Im so grateful that I somehow passed but he is so unapologetically rude its unbelievable! Even going to his after hours he is rude and unwelcoming, makes you feel dumb for not knowing the material when its his job to teach you. His handwritten notes are sloppy and he goes entirely too fast. Worst teacher I have ever had.

Just a terrible professor. He is completely unhelpful and his lecture notes are written by him but they are absolutely nonsensical. His recorded lectures as well as the notes are endless rambling with no clear instruction in sight. There is no support for you to know if you are actually doing anything right. Avoid him.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!! DO NOT DO IT!! The only notes you are given were wrote by him and are super wordy and unprofessional. 3 exams and 3 quizzes ONLY. People constantly got 50% or worse on the exams and if it weren't for all the extra credit he gave, I would not have passed.

one of the worst teacher I have ever had, he was very rude and unhelpful all throughout the course. His online course is made up out of 3 exams and 3 quizzes, He also adds 3 Extra Credit assignments. He gives out a bunch load of reading and a couple of videos and that's all you will get from him all semester. Horrible professor.

Handwriting is dog water. He gets super upset all the same.

Lectures completely off his own thoughts, which makes up for most exam questions. The quizzes are easy, but he tells you how to do them and they don't have any benefit to actually understanding the material taught in the course.

WHAT EVER YOU DO DONT TAKE HIM. He hand writes all his notes and its impossible to read and his quizzes and exams make no sense while reading them. He also gets upset easily and bases the class off his own opinions.

DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR.!!!!!! Nothing he says in class makes sense. I never got above a 60 on any exam. If you do have to take this course with him just pray to god you get a C. WORST PROFFESOR EVER!!!!!

Do not take this class if you want an easier micro Econ experience. His lectures are not very good, all he does is talk and write it down with not very good handwriting. He is also left handed so if you miss what he says, good luck trying to read cause his hand is covering up the words, but you probably couldnt read them anyways. Barley passed.

Expect a C or lower in this class if you aren't willing to devote your life. Only reason I was able to do ok is because I studied 12 hours a week and recorded the lectures. Exams make no sense, he goes out of his way to trick you with no remorse. Exams are usually curved but not very helpful when the majority of the class gets a 36% Best of luck

Entire course grade was based on 9 tests and 3 exams that were written poorly by the professor. Dont expect to get anything better than a C if you dont take in every single lecture and the very long readings he expects you to read outside of class. And dont expect to get any decent notes as anything he writes down and presents is unreadable.

This class could have been so much more easy if it wasn't for the way he teaches the class. No textbook, illegible notes on the board, and the exams are confusing and unrelated to the lectures. Don't take this class with this professor if you can avoid it.

This man is the worst instructor i've ever had. Lectures make zero sense, so good luck passing the class.

Avoid Neill if you can. Grade is based on 3 quizzes, 3 exams, and 3 extra credit assignments. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU WANT TO PASS!! Neill handwrites all of his notes and is not very personable. He usually curves the exams because everyone fails, and he does not care to change his teaching strategy. 0/10 recommend, try to take someone else.

I would rather postpone my graduation than have to speak to this man. If I gave accurate adjectives to describe him this post would be removed. 'nuff said

This man has terrible handwriting so anything not typed is impossible to read. Plus, on top of that, he couldn't describe/explain how to solve 1+1 to a math genius. He has the grammar skills of a 3rd grader. He has few assignments and gives extra credit with 3 exams but you will be confused on all of them. Reading his notes is harder than economics

Professor is on the older side & is not very tech savvy. His handwriting is horrible and hard to read yet he has the audacity to hand write all the assignments and material. Most times it is super hard to hear and understand him. I drop the class last year just to be placed in the same class with the same teacher.

I feel like I have learned nothing from this man. He is confusing and often unclear. As my first experience in economics from this institution I am disappointed.

Neill uses incoherent lectures to try and teach you the material. His lessons are difficult to follow, and you won't learn a whole lot. There are 3 assignments, 3 quizzes, and 3 tests throughout the semester. The assignments and quizzes are easy but the tests are very difficult. He does do extra credit quizzes that will save your grade. Don't skip!

I planned to rip this guy a new one on here but the 350 character limit could never describe how little this guy cares about this class and how poorly he taught it. TL;DR: Avoid this guy.

He is left-handed but as he writes it covers it up so you need to be fast when you are writing down what he is saying or you will miss it, because when he is done he is ready to move on even if you are not done copying the notes that he was just writing. He has lots of print-outs to read. Not many assessments to be graded on so do well on them.

I thought I understood econ until I took this class. Dr. Neill would often call students out in class and be very hard to work with. When I reached out for help he told me to just keep doing what I was doing even though that was obviously not working. Your grade is based on a couple tests and quizzes so make sure you are prepared for those.

By no means was this any easy course. I advise not taking this course with Professor Neill. You are graded based on 6 quizzes,3 exams and 3 extra credit quizzes. I would advise doing the extra credit(saves your grade). The in-person lectures are boring and give you no real information on economics. Do your self a favor and don't take this course.

Everything in this class is confusing, lectures are all over the place/questions on quizzes and exams are conversational and don't make any sense. He won't help, he will just tell you to re-read the assignment which you already don't understand. Also, there is no textbook, so the only way to study is notes or his confusing lecture sheets.

This class consisted of 3 exams, including the final exam. He gives you 6 total quizzes, two per unit (exam). He also provides a few extra credit quizzes, but nothing that could significantly benefit your grade. His lectures are typically just rants, and don't provide real exam material. Exam questions are trick questions "it depends". Stay away!

First things first, do not take this class with this professor. He hand writes his notes on a green sheet of paper where it is almost impossible to read his handwriting. The lectures can be difficult to follow and he will not offer you any type of help. The exams are open note but the assignments are also incredibly difficult to understand.

In the most respectable way, this is a cartoonishly bad instructor at times. This is the generic professor in a school movie which the main character has to study really hard to pass the class. Except that, this class lacked a sliver of satisfaction. The way of teaching, the materials to study, and the testing were all perfectly awful, Loved it.

Doesn't know how to use technology. He is retiring spring of '25 and you can tell he's checked out. All of his teachings are from his own lectures, not from a textbook and he doesn't know how to form cohesive sentences. This class is so confusing and I have basically taught myself.

noone ive ever talked to enjoyed this professor, he calls students out in rude ways, and talks in metaphors and awful handwriting. he also doesnt respond to emails with questions about the course. he is a cannon event at western basically, avoid his class if possible. gpa killer

In all honesty, I think it'd be of benefit to us all if Professor Neill retired. His lectures are nothing but a compilation of rambles and he essentially talks about absolutely nothing for an hour. His quizzes and notes are also very difficult to understand and he writes on a colored piece of paper with a marker so you can't read a thing he writes

I expected when I attended college a level befitting a university. That was the case, up until I met Dr. Neill and his joke of an economics class. I appreciate not having to purchase a textbook, but not if I have to bear his handwritten, personalized notes / material that takes outside research to understand. Dr. Neill is comical, not educational.
