The reason this class is given a bad rating is because people don't take the time to understand the material. It is a very tedious class with many little assignments every week that require you to grasp the concept but overall the material is not hard at all. Very smart prof and can be funny at times but sometimes a jerk/ egotistical in his emails

Course was so painful yet SO GOOD since its so useful in everyday life. I hated how much time it took out of my week bc I could not be the business stereotype that has no HW, BUT it has educated me a lot and im grateful. Dont lose hope bc hes making the course easier for next semesters students bc of the feedback hes received. EZ extra credit

Dr. Meer is a good professor, but do not expect this intro class to be easy. It was quite the pain for me because it is a pre-req for my program. If you do not have to take econ, there are easier classes out there. It felt like a waste of time. Although Dr. Meer clearly cares about his job so as a professor he is good.

this was the hardest & most thought-provoking class I've ever taken. also the most rewarding. approx. 10-12 hours of hw each week, 3 tests, 3-4 discussion posts due each week. prof. explained content very thoroughly and made it as easy to digest as possible. curves on all tests and loads of extra credit. if you get behind, you will fail.

Professor Meer is honestly such an amazing professo. He is so passionate about economics and really goes out of his way to explain things. The class is challenging but people that say he offers no help are really just lying. There are lots of office hours and he posts so many supplemental resources that help a lot. Really loved this class!

Definitely the rewarding class I have taken at A&M. This course requires you to truly understand the content at an extreme depth in order to excel on the tests. Professor Meer makes this class very thought-provoking for a reason, and if you really commit to the course, you will come away with so much knowledge. Attend all optional events, trust me.

There's lots of homework and reading, but it's manageable (coming from a non-business student who has WAY harder classes). Do the extra PackBack each week and all the extra credit as it could help boost your final grade. Use the practice tests to study, and watch all the extra material videos as they really help understand the concepts.

My favorite class & professor first semester at A&M. Course material is heavy, but if you work for it an A is attainable. Amazing lectures that make concepts easy to understand.

I greatly enjoyed taking ECON 202 with Professor Meer. Professor Meer repeatedly made time to meet with students outside of class to talk about economics and answer any questions we had on our mind. He cares about his students and provides everything for success. Just make sure that you work on problem sets and study with others in the class.

Econ is a lot of work, but Meer made it seem natural to me. The class is very conceptual based rather than vocabulary based, so be sure to understand the content. Otherwise, for an online course, it's a bit of work, but the class is easy and he curves the exams. My peers would overreact coming out of the testing room but ended up doing fine.

Professor Meer isn't everyone's favorite but he sure was mine. His lecture videos were very helpful and even though I didn't get a very good grade in the class, I still enjoyed it because of Dr. Meer.

Class is asynchronous so the bulk of the material is learned via video lectures and textbook readings. Exams can be pretty tricky but are doable. To succeed you must thoroughly understand the material, and at times, learning all the rules of logic for this class can be strenuous.

While online classes aren't everyone's favorite, this class made it seem like any other class. Easily one of the best online formats I've done. Professor meer is accessible outside of class and his lectures are straight forward and backed by the reading.

All material is taught on Canvas through lecture videos and homework is usually 5 or 10 questions after most videos and then a 30ish question problem set after each module (12 in total). Definetly pace yourself in order to stay afloat or you fall behind pretty fast. Test are challenging but if you review with given material, they become pretty ok

This course was by far the most organized class I've ever taken. There is quite a bit of work but it's the same every week so you just have to get in a grove of it. Exams rely more on intuitive thinking rather than just memorizing graphs and definitions. A lot of people complain about this class but if you do your work an A is very attainable.

Dr. Meer is very difficult. His papers and exams are designed to test your actual understanding of the material, not memorizing. A lot of work, but I have never learned so much from a class. Dr. Meer is hilarious and very sharp and will give very good lectures. If you want to learn a lot, take him. If you want an easy A econ class, look elsewhere.

I created a profile because of how much I learned from Prof Meer & his class. This is NOT an online course you can slack on, 2 deadlines per week-- VERY manageable. He offers TONS of tutoring and office hours, so failing/ doing bad only happens if you DON'T care at all. Most complains are from those that continuously ignore his feedback! LOVED IT!

Good proff and cares about course. I got a good grade but put a good amount of time into the class. This class is an easy B if you somewhat study for tests and complete all of the assignments. An A is obtainable for sure but you will have to work hard for it.

This was definitely a tough class that takes a lot of work, but professor Meer's did a great job explaining things in a understandable way and certainly knew what he was talking about. Make sure to keep up with the videos and to takes good notes, and always look over the prior tests he will post on canvas as practice before tests.

Prof Meer is a great guy and will put in the effort to help you as long as you put in the effort to try. This class takes a lot of time. There are at least 8 lectures and quizzes a week. I wouldn't sign up for this class if I had a choice bc of how I struggled, but as long as you put in the effort and take notes, you will know the material.

This class seems to have a bad reputation. Maybe it's because I transferred from engineering, but that class isn't that bad. Maybe about 5-6 hours of homework and week and he supply's practice quizzes for the tests which are a really good way to test preparedness. The online lectures are great, and the textbook helps too. difficulty was a 3/5.

The course content Meer has to teach is pretty difficult if its your first time learning it- so he gets a bad rap. But he really works hard to make modules concise and understandable, and he is really knowledgeable about the course content. He created opportunities to meet him since it is an online course, and really cares about his students.

Meer makes online learning easy with in-depth lecture videos + great textbook. Deadlines M&Th, so pace yourself. Lots of tutoring opportunities, so use those if you need help understanding + extra credit available through Packback. Problem sets are easy if you understand concepts, and exams are only challenging if you don't use any resources.

Professor Meer himself is very good at teaching the material in this class. The lecture videos are very helpful and in depth. He provides practice exams and example questions that I 100% recommend using to study for exams. This class is difficult if you try to skim the material, but as long as you finish assignments on time you will be fine.

People make this class out to be harder than it actually is. It could be a bit difficult if you've never taking an Econ course before, but Professor Meer makes it pretty straightforward. 3 tests with around 7 quizzes per week and a problem set. As long as you pace yourself properly it should never feel like too much work. Offers decent extra credit

It's an online class but it works well. There's a lot of ways to learn the information and he provides supplemental content to help with what you need help with. He's active and makes sure you have ways to get help if you need it, it's just up to you to get it. People who complain about him, from my experience, have no reason to do so.

Econ 202 shouldn't be as difficult as this class presents this, but that is mainly due to the online nature of the class. At the start of the semester, work is ok and doesn't seem too bad but near the halfway mark of the semester, it really picks up on the work load. Overall I'd say be wary of this class because it will hit harder than many expect.

Despite our low average on a recent test, he gave a huge curve. The course is not hard, and the resources he provides makes it even easier. He does a great job of teaching concepts, gives extra credit, and is understanding. Weekly deadlines are set at the beginning of the year, so you can work ahead. Join a study group, and you'll do great.

Teaches the best online class I have ever taken. Carves time for students to reach him offline. Takes class and student understanding/effort quite seriously and genuinely gets disappointed when students don't do well. Cares a lot about what he does. Extremely information dense class in the best possible way. Useful for real life.

I would not listen to those who say this class is a ton of work. It is a difficult online class that Dr. Meer presents as organized and to-the-point as it gets. Try not to cram all homework into one afternoon and you will be surprised at how simple this class is. If you are organized and not lazy, you will be fine in this class.

Professor Meer does care about his students. The class is some what difficult because it is completely online except exams. I should end with a B in the class but that is some what my fault. You really have to grasp the material to do well on the exams. Meer curved one exam during my semester and always gives extra credit, he is understanding.

This class is challenging but super useful and interesting! Go to informal meetings, office hours and exam reviews! Dr. Meer is very caring and passionate about economics and will be happy to help! Absolutely glad that my introduction to economics began with this class!!

Overall a really good class. I really did learn a lot. If youre used to not working hard dont take this class. It wasnt difficult just a lot of material. Web- based class, quizzes, problem sets, and extra credit is all due on mondays and Thursdays.

The online structure allows for great flexibility for getting work done, and the organization of the course just makes sense. The instructional videos do a good job of teaching the curriculum, though you might need to use the textbook to supplement your learning. I can't speak to the availability of in person services bc I didn't need them.

Microeconomics is a very hard concept to grasp but professor meer does a great job of explaining in his lecture videos. His class is a hard class but the concepts you learn are very applicable in the real world. He is one of the smartest people I have ever met and there is a lot you can learn from him.

This class is definitely difficult- there's a lot of work and you can't memorize things to do well, you have to truly understand all the material thoroughly. That being said, Dr. Meer puts so much effort into being accessible and helping as much as he can. It's definitely a hard class but the information you learn is clearly valuable and applicable

This class is extremely overhyped in difficulty and an A is extremely attainable if you put in the effort. Professor Meer is such a good lecturer and makes it easy to grasp the concepts. Study for the tests a week in advance and maximize your scores on quizzes/ problem sets; you will be just fine.

This course had lots of work and was very time consuming, with around 8-10 assignments a week all based on textbook readings. The assignments and exams started off easy but progressively got harder. There is also 2 packbacks due Thursdays. Overall, Meer made it very interesting with his videos and made effort to communicate with his students.

I want to start out by saying professor Meer is an awesome dude and a really great professor. He truly wants the best for his students. This class is challenging, however, an A is attainable. The grade distribution for the course is favorable and extra credit is offered. The exams are mildly challenging. I recommend studying a week in advance

Professor Meer is genuinely a great dude! Even though I only got a B in this class, I still enjoyed it. Be prepared to do lots of quizzes, problem sets each week. There were 3 exams in total and they were hard. 31.5% of my class earned an A, and there were 1700 people in my class. So if you study hard enough, an A is obtainable.

Professor Meer was a very good econ professor. While the class was online, his lecture videos really helped students grasp the concepts. This class was definitely not easy, as there are many assignments due every week, but it is manageable if you stay on top of things.

Do not be intimidated by what people say about Professor Meer or his class. If you stay on top of the homework and study before the exams, an A is very attainable. I highly recommend you attend his weekly coffee times, he is truly a respectful, intelligent professor who welcomes any questions and will put in effort to help his students succeed.

Professor Meer is super smart, but condescending in his emails which was not appreciated. This class is an easy B but a difficult A, you need to put in the work. The material is laid out very clearly. The tests are difficult, so study well for them. Overall, I feel like I learned a lot in this class, but it was a challenge to get an A.

Dr. Meer is a great professor. You definitely need to put in the effort to get an A in this class. There are 3 exams comprising about 55% of the course grade. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit and office hours. His lecture videos are comprehensive and textbook reading is required. I enjoyed taking this class.

There is a lot of work for this class; 1 homework per chapter and a problem set at the end of each module. The only extra credit is by making a 3rd Packback post (DO IT, IT ADDS UP). Tests are difficult, but the practice exams and his Zoom review session the night before the test are extremely helpful. Not impossible to get an A if you do the work.

He's a wonderful teacher! He creates a bunch of lecture videos with tons of supplementary videos to explain topics from multiple perspectives and he always reserves time to speak with us. He also provides plenty of practice questions and exams. It can be overwhelming if you're not on top of your homework, but it prepares you very well for exams.

Professor Meer's Econ 202 class is crammed with tons of material, however, it is essential to stay ahead in this class. If you make an effort to learn, it is nearly impossible to do badly in this course, as there are many opportunities to meet with the prof. or TA to get extra help. This class is not as challenging as people say it is, good luck.

Don't get me wrong, this is a challenging course, however, it is completely doable as long as you put the work in. Professor Meer provides great lectures and is almost always available to help students outside of class. I would most definitely recommend his class to anyone with a good work ethic.

Only met professor Meer once since it is an online course and it is clear he loves what he does. All the videos were easy to follow and the assignments were exactly what we learned in the videos.

Jonathan Meer himself is a pretty great professor. You'll succeed if you properly set aside time for his lectures and readings. But the amount of work given can be somewhat overbearing at times. Just make sure to keep up with the homework; otherwise, you'll fall behind really quickly.

Professor Meer is an excellent teacher. His videos are clear to understand if you pay attention. Don't let anybody scare you away because this is an online course. There is homework, but it is completely manageable if you give this class the same amount of time you would any other in-person class. The practice exams are the MOST helpful!!!!

Professor Meer is awesome! He's very intelligent and really cares about the students he's teaching. It's difficult to be personable in a class of 2000, and he does it! He has weekly coffee shop hours that you can attend and ask him anything, which few people ever attend. The course is challenging, but Meer absolutely makes it doable.

Meer is a really good lecturer. He ties in examples that actually make sense and are applicable to things I can relate to (tacos). The practice exams help so so much and the homework really isn't all too bad - just a lot of it. Highly recommend him though.

Awesome guy with insightful lectures! The information was interesting and presented in easy to understand ways. But this class was more work than almost any other class I have ever taken. You cannot fall behind. It took so much time and there is help if you need it but I cannot seem to excel on the exams so all my hard work will probably get me a B

If you stay on schedule you should be completely fine getting an A. There are 2-4 modules due each week, which includes a lecture video (only 5-10 min each), textbook excerpt, and a graded quiz (10 questions). There is 1 graded problem set due each week (20-30 questions). There are also 2 packback posts due each week. Lastly, are 3 tests overall.

Despite what I read on here before, this class is NOT an easy A. It is so so much work and the test averages have been pretty low. Because the exams are intense you can do well in the other areas of the class and still not get an A bc of the tests. Interesting subject but get ready to work. A lot. I mean a lot.

You may be worried about Econ 202 but it is manageable. Meer makes himself available to you even though it is an online course so if you ever need help reach out. The biggest thing is to stay on top of the homework and videos. Use the practice exams he posts and the tests will not surprise you. Do the PackBack extra credit it's worth 1% point.

I loved this class so much! Yes it seems like a lot of work every week, but it is very manageable and not hard. Just watch the lecture videos and read the textbook and you will be good! Professor Meer is a great professor and is actually the reason I switched my degree to economics!

Professor Meer is amazing. A lot of people are intimidated by his assertive personality, but he truly cares about his students. His cafe office hours are a great way to meet him and made him more personable. Exams are not cumulative, but there is a lot of homework. You get what you put in.

Noice

Good Prof! I took the class online which had weekly quizzes and problem sets. We also used Packback weekly. Class had 3 exams. Overall a good class but you do have to study! This class really taught me economics!

I found the class fairly easy despite some of the reviews. If you want to get an A in this class actually listen to the online lectures, take notes, do the extra credit, go over the test review and practice questions, and study for like two days before the test. Just don't get behind! Meer is super passionate and a great professor.

Very good, very hard

Lots of hw but very VERY manageable if u just do a little everyday. Tests are challenging but if u just actually study using the old test he gives u and actually learn how to do the weekly hw instead of copying from someone else itll be so much easier. GO TO THE IN PERSON STUDENT HOURS, the TAs are SO helpful and will teach u literally everything!!

The class is really easy as long as you use every resource he provides - and DO the extra credit there is absolutely no reason not to. The hardest part is the exams - his questions are tricky sometimes, but they're not hard if you've practiced on the practice exam. Don't slack because it's an online class.

Dr. Meer is a cool guy, he definitely is a bit passive-aggressive, but I think that's just his personality, and once you get used to it, it becomes funny. This class is a smack in the face to freshmen who aren't yet accustomed to the workload of college. This class will show you if you're ready to commit to a degree in economics.

This is a tough class to take as a freshman, however if you have any common sense and can deduce through answers using logic its a very easy class since the concepts are so rudimentary. The best advice I have is to not get behind on lectures and quizzes, read the required readings, study the past tests he releases and you'll make a B.

I actually love Meer so much he is a dope guy and is super funny. If you don't like him its because he's right and you cant handle it.

Prof Meer is a great professor that shows a lot of genuine care for the improvement of his students education. On the other hand the class he teaches is a hard to understand one and for someone like me who likes definite answers economics is a lot more challenging. Overall a hard class with a great teach just stay on top of homework and tests.

His lectures are very good and are easy to follow. The workload is pretty heavy, but it made it easier to grasp the information after a lot of practice. The tests are a bit challenging which is why I didn't receive the grade I wanted. Overall a great guy who wants the best for his students.

If you're not an ECON/math-oriented person, get ready to suffer. Meer is an excellent instructor who knows what he's doing but the class is pretty hard work - and a lot of it. He's there to help and passionate abt the subject, but his arrogant and condescending nature can be intimidating. It's a manageable class but not easy at all.

Jonathan Meer is definitely not for everyone. He can give off the vibe of a big ego but it didn't ever really bother me. He's a smart guy and he knows it yk. The class is incredibly well organized and there are lots of additional tools. It is admittedly a pretty good amount of work. Lots of videos and small quizzes. Tests are pretty hard too; study

This class is honestly not that bad if you stay ahead of your work and don't put it off until the day it's due. Also, take advantage of the TA office hours because they can check your assignments before you submit them, which is a game changer! His lecture videos aren't that long or boring.

The class is not too bad as long as you stay on top of your work. I took this class to fulfill a core credit, and I would not recommend it because the course is just busy work. However, if you have to take this class, Dr. Meer is a good teacher and you can tell he cares about all 800+ of his students and wants you to succeed.

Initially I heard bad things about this professor, but I was pleasantly surprised. The course material is fairly straight-forward. The readings fill in gaps and provide more explanation than the video lectures, but both are great resources. Just make sure to stay up to date on assignments. Professor is eloquent and clearly knows the material.

I'm not sure why people rated this class so poorly, but this was one of my favorite classes by far. I actually learned something useful and the course was super easy to follow. Professor Meer was amazing with this class and you can tell how much passion and dedication he has for economics. Don't be scared to take this class at all!

Dr. Meer is one of the most educated and organized professors that I have had at TAMU and his course reflects that. It was challenging, but as long as you stay on top of it, he gives you everything you need to succeed and the course was interesting and thought-provoking. He is also available outside of class and is a great person to talk to!

Dr. Meer's page is an example of how immature and petty a failing college student can be. So many complaints about his character I just don't get. Dr. Meer's lectures thoroughly explain the concepts you need to succeed while being objectively funny. If you can't do well in ECON 202 with Dr. Meer maybe college isn't for you (sorry not sorry).

This class can be difficult, but it really all depends on your work ethic. There are a lot of things due weekly, but if you set aside time each day to do the work, you will get it done in plenty of time. His lecture videos are very helpful, and the textbook readings help also. The tests can be difficult, but he provides plenty of prep material.

Professor Meer has a very strong personality, and you can tell he really knows what he's talking about, and he's also really funny. This class is difficult, and the tests are hard, but it is manageable as long as you study and do the extra credit. Do not be scared to take this class; just be prepared to put a lot of work into it.

So much work but plenty of resources. Read the textbook AND watch the videos. Meer is egotistical but a great and thorough professor. GET A GOOD STUDY GROUP. If you do the problem sets together/discuss it thoroughly, it will really benefit your Econ202 experience. He takes forever to grade exams. Exam 1 took three weeks. Don't get behind.

This class is not easy. There is a lot of work, and the tests are difficult, but if you put aside time each day to do a little bit of work and studying, you will be fine. Dr. Meer is extremely smart, but he does not dumb things down in this class, he makes you earn your grade. Put in the work, and this class is very rewarding.

This class will challenge you. I learned so much through it and felt that it was very applicable. Prof. Meer can be intimidating to some but he knows what he's talking about and is highly respected for it. Be ready to work and don't get behind; Monday and Thursday come quick. Also, utilize the help from TA's and office hours!!

The class isn't easy but is very doable depending on the effort you put in. He is a great professor that teaches the concept really well. Just watch the lectures and read the textbook as well while also doing homework and you should be good.

Getting an A is extremely hard in this class but is possible with a lot of effort. There are multiple quizzes, lectures, pacbacks, textbook readings, and a problem set due each week. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! I have definetly learned a lot in this class and economics is very interesting. The material builds up so do NOT fall behind. Try and get ahead!

you have to be organized and work ahead. 202 can be hard but very doable to get an A if you don't slack off. he's super passive aggressive over email but going to his coffeeshop office hours humanizes him a lot. he's super helpful with understanding concepts which is necessary for this class, memorizing doesn't work. DO ALL EXTRA CREDIT+PACKBACK.

There was a lot of homework that needed to be completed every week that was just quizzes and then a discussion post. Although it seemed like a lot of work, I honestly probably put in like 4 hours a week into everything and ended up with an A in the class. Professor Meer also offers extra credit which is super helpful and could turn a B into an A.

This class is no joke. You have to go in guns ablazing and take it seriously or you will get behind. Prof Meer is an expert, explains concepts well, and is very accessible. Weekly work consists of about 8 modules, a problem set, and a packback. A module consists of a 5-10 min lecture video, 1-2 textbook readings, optional content, and a short quiz.

Prof. Meer is a great prof, and this online course that handles about 2000 students is set up so incredibly well! Many resources available, and structured to easily keep up with work. Self paced, so be disciplined and use the practice exams to study for tests! I did learn about econ, although dif. than in-class setting. Go meet Meer at least once!!

Honestly, most of the negative reviews here are insane. No, you cannot blow-off this class and if you expected a class to be a blow-off then you should reconsider your approach to college immediately. Took this class freshman year with very little economics knowledge and made an A. Just read the book, watch the lectures, and find supplements.

Love this professor!! This class is a confidence boost. Yes there is stuff due twice a week but it's expected because it is an online class so it is just the same as having to attend lecture and work on homeworks. Super concise teaching and honestly comes as common sense. Tons of material prep for exams given.

JONNY MEER!!!! His class is not that difficult if you enjoy economics and can memorize everything in the videos/textbook and logically understand the main concepts. (marginal benefit must always equal marginal cost)

Professor Meer is a very good teacher and has all of his lectures prerecorded online. The exams are very difficult and conceptual, but that is the nature of economics. The online "lectures" his teaching videos are very concise and homework is manageable. Commit yourself to understanding the intuition behind what is said because that is NECESSARY.

For an online class it was super well organized. Definitely go to the tutoring sessions, I could have made an A if I had started to go sooner. He has good reviews for tests and plenty of online examples.

The online format is pretty strange for the class. Lots of homeworks and lecture videos to watch. Can come off as a little condescending sometimes in his emails. Passionate about economics, but expects his students to be pretty much just as passionate and intelligent as him. Make sure to devote a lot of time to the class and study a ton.

Although this class has a lot of work, it is very doable. Professor Meer provides SO many resources to help including practice exams very similar to the actual exams. You MUST watch the lectures and understand them to do well in this class. Lots of extra credit opportunities but a very time consuming class.

class is tough, lots of time is needed to complete all assignments given - around 5 homeworks due a week, and a packback - do the packbacks!! easy credit points. tests are hard but he gives you plenty of study material, and test grades are heavily weighted in overall grade, so try to do well on them. he offers lots of resources - utilize them

Amazing Professor! Knows the ins and outs of the subject and how to teach it. An online course so work-heavy but if you stay consistent and put in about an hour a day you'll be fine. He made the subject so interesting and fun and brought unique perspectives to what would be a basic course. Would definitely recommend. Get ready to work and enjoy it.

I was told horror stories about this course but IT IS NOT HARD AT ALL IF YOU PUT IN EFFORT. Everything is laid out perfectly in the course to get an easy A if you do what is required. It is very time-consuming, but not difficult. and economics is a great skill you can use in your everyday life. Also, GO TO WEEKLY ZOOMS for help on problem sets!!!

The worst part about this class is the fact that it's online and sometimes the professor doesn't give explanations that make sense, also there's SO much homework/busy work. If you do ALL the work + extra credit (super easy) you have a higher chance to get an A. The tests are very similar to practice exams. Stay on top of your work.

Don't be scared to take this class. If you do the work and study a lot for the exams you will be fine. The course load wasn't as bad as people are saying. I didn't bother with the optional learning content and did fine without it. Professor Meer is organized and did a good job by being accessible and offering outside help. Overall, I recommend!

His class is not hard as long as u watch his 10 min lectures and understand the content. If u just memorize, you'll do bad on the exams as they're VERY application based. There is a TON of easy extra credit (also lowered the grade letter cutoff at the end), and he's super accessible. Overall it's super interesting and I loved the class.

Prepare to work hard in this class, but the material is engaging. Use unstuckstudy ai and the textbook to supplement Professor Meer's lectures. Exams are challenging, so stay on top of the coursework. Overall, a rewarding experience.

great time

Ok, people are being extremely hyperbolic about Meer. It's a normal amount of work (prob 8 hours a week), people just freak out and act like he's assigning 10 billion quizzes because it's an at your pace course and, shocker, freshman college students procrastinate. Study the past exams he provides, they are identical. It will be fine.

Many people are complaining. This is a college class, it was expected to be difficult. Meer outlines his assignments in the syllabus and provides LOTS of ways to study for the exams. We had "quizzes" and chapter to read every week. The class is easy to get by as long as you stay on top of your work and study properly.

One of the most clear professors I have ever had. Every deadline and test was clearly explained and he reminded you often. Also accessible weekly outside of class and very knowledgeable about the material. Just watch all the videos, don't skip them even though it will make HW faster, and you will be fine.

Everything is online, but there are many chances to meet the Professor and TA's. Class is very well structured and organized, and he provides you with everything you need for success. Lots of homework, but you don't have an actual class to attend.

Meer is an amazing professor and he gives you so many tools for success you just have to use them. GO TO TA TUTORING it is extremely helpful on the difficult problem sets, you should get a 100 or close to it on all of them if you go. This class is difficult and A LOT of work but if you put the effort in, an A is extremely possible.

Dr. Meer provides ample resources to perform well, such as a bank of practice questions and two practice exams for each test. The quizzes and problem sets reflect how you will do on the tests and if you utilize all the resources, success is achievable. While an online class, tests are in person and the workload is sizeable so stay on top of it.

People who find this course difficult likely just struggled to treat it like an actual course, as opposed to a blow off. Don't let it being online trick you, it still requires the same amount of time and dedication as an in person class. As long as you do that, you will be fine. An A is very achievable, and none of the exams were too difficult.

Dr. Meer is a very clear professor. Assignments follow the same format every week, and problem sets can be completed in groups. As long as you study (which he gives copious resources for) and understand the material he's teaching, you will get an A.

The class isn't that bad, just go to office hours and the TA's will explain the problem sets and give you the answers. If you just do the practice exams and you'll do fine on the exams, get around an 85. Shoutout Jordan my favorite TA

Treat this class the same as an in-person one. There are multiple assignments due each week. Do them early, so you have time for your problem sets or office hours for help. Practice tests are akin to the real thing. Dr. Meer is a great prof and funny, loved his dry sense of humor. There are several resources for anyone to do well in this class.

Don't let anyone scare you; Meer is a great prof. It's online, so people slack off and don't do their work, and it shows in their grades. If you take time to truly understand and internalize the information, you will succeed. Meer offers the MOST studying resources of any prof I've had and has so many opportunities to meet in person for help.

This class is pretty test heavy but the tests aren't even that bad as some people make it out to be. He posts sample tests that are tests from previous years to help you study so theres no reason why you should fail a test if you looked over these. Since it's online, its easy to slack off but if you put in the work you will get an A or B.

The class wasn't nearly as bad as former students made it out to be. Meer provides plenty of resources to help you, so I suggest using as many as you need. Watch the videos, read the required textbook sections, go to the TAs to check your problem set, and you'll be fine. While I never got to see Meer at his hangouts, he seems like a cool guy!

People are overreacting. Yes, the class is a lot of work but it is literally designed for you to succeed if you do everything that's asked of you. Use the sample exams for test prep, go to tutoring, and take notes on all of the required material and you will be fine. It's a super interesting class! I loved the content and he seems like a cool guy!

This class is not easy no work, but if you put in a decent amount of effort, do your assignments, take notes during the online video lectures, ACTUALLY read the excerpts from the textbook, then you most definitely WILL succeed. He also does countless office hours and even has TA's available almost 24/7.

Dr. Meer is a great professor with his lectures being descriptive and providing examples. There is a very decent amount of workload, but he's very accessible if you need help. Exams are easy to study for, as he provides lots of tools and practice exams for you to get an A. Overall great professor who cares about his students understanding concepts.

Professor Meer was great! I think he did a very good job of making economics make sense. He provides so many resources, so if you have the drive, getting an A is very attainable. He is a little passive aggressive sometimes in his emails, so try to find the answer on your own before emailing him.

Despite what some people say, I actually like professor Meer, he gives lots of material to help students that need it. Go to his in person review sessions before the test and make sure you know the practice exams he gives you, the tests are similar. There is lots of homework, so be ready to put aside some time for his class.

I took macro in highschool so a lot of it was review. GO TO THE TA'S FOR THE PROBLEM SETS they literally will push your grade from a B to an A. Don't wait till the last day to study and do the past exams they are almost identical to half of the exam. The textbook is really good for the concepts you don't understand or else I wouldn't read it

Everyone on campus has a story with Jonathan Meer. He is not a bad professor, per say, he is just here to trick you (regardless of what he says that he's not- he 100% is). I wouldn't necessarily say I'm bad at econ, his tests were just so hard. Do all the extra credit, and DONT PROCRASINATE. If you take anything from this, please let it be that.

Don't listen to the hate on Professor Meer; he is one of the most helpful professors I've ever taken a course from. There are tons of extra credit opportunities, practice tests that basically tell you what is on the exams, and Meer lets you know way ahead of time how to succeed in his course. Put in an honest effort and you'll succeed in his class.

This class was a bit annoying with how much homework there is. However it actually makes you learn the material with the amount of questions you have to answer. It wasn't necessarily super hard, and professor Meer gives plenty of resources for you to succeed. My advice would be to work ahead so you don't fall behind.

This class is challenging if you aren't willing to put in the work study for the tests and do all the assignments. He does give you and tell you how to succeed but it all depends on how much effort you are willing to give. It's possible to do well, so make sure to do ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT, it helps you till the last second.

Professor Meer is honestly a teacher who is highly knowledgeable in economics. Class is very homework-heavy but is manageable. His lectures are videos and are very clear and easy to understand. Make sure to do the pack back extra credit. Overall, easy to get an A if you get high grade on homework. Exams are challenging but manageable if you study.

Professor Meer is a really good, he understands the concepts he is teaching and he does a good job of using real world examples to help you understand. The class is an online class and you can work ahead (you should). Be sure to do all of the extra credit. Even though Meer is very good, the class is still challenging so work hard.

This class had so much homework attached to it, I would often spend upwards of 7 hours a week on this course because of the sheer amount of work. However, if you take good notes and watch every lecture video, this class will not be difficult, you just have to be ready to work. If you have good time management, this class if for you.

One of the most difficult but most rewarding classes I have taken. Study study study, but and A is possible. My class had about a two point curve at the end. GO CHECK YOUR PROBLEM SET with the tutors.

You get what you put in for this class. If you study, an A is very achievable and manageable in this class.

He gets alot of hate, but its just a hard class. Seems like a cool guy (online class) who loves economics. Just make sure to not skip over the videos and try your best to read the chapters he assigns, it will be annoying and time consuming but it will get you an A or B.

I almost dropped this class after reading the reviews on this page about him. HE IS NOT THAT BAD. He's actually good at teaching and I ended up with an A, and I got a B- in AP macroeconomics. Just watch the videos, sometimes the chapters attached are repetitive. The practice exams were slightly harder than the tests, GREAT PREP!! Don't be scared.

To get a good grade in this class you must understand the concepts. Read the textbook that is what got me through the class. Go to the TA hours for problem sets they will help so much. This class has a lot of work simply because it is online. You will have about 4 modules a week and a 30 question problem set. You cannot cut corners in this class.

Very interesting class. The workload can seem like a lot at times because both lectures + homework are online, but it is not that bad. As long as you get the work done you'll be fine.

Dr. Meer is a great lecturer! His online course was definitely workload heavy and the material was at times challenging to grasp. Problem sets are the hardest part of the course, whereas exams are pretty doable. Go to review sessions before exams and focus on practice exams as they are pretty similar to the real one. Many concepts repeat!!

Great professor for it being an online class. Lectures are pretty straightforward. Did slack off a little bit which led to me getting a C. Not an easy class but as long as you take good notes and do well on the homework assignments youll be fine.

Meer does a great job teaching, considering the class was online, and provides a lot of study material. Do not get behind; rewatch videos and read the textbook. Do the extra credit and make sure you know the concepts and not only the graphs. I passed the first two tests, then decided to slack off for the last one, and still easily got a B.

Lecture videos where a bit minimal but once you read the book it helps connect everything together, especially with the quizzes. The Practice Tests are the best way to study as the concepts are application based.

An incredible professor. His videos are short and legitimately interesting. I'm convinced most of the bad reviews are people who fell behind on homework and never caught up. If you commit to doing assignments even 1 day in advance, you'll be completely fine and might even enjoy the class. Homework is very short, but there's a lot of it.

Do not listen to negative reviews on Dr. Meer. The level of work you have to put into this class for an A is laughable. There are anywhere from 5 to 10 lecture videos each week, and you could do them all in a day in under two hours. Tests are exactly like the reviews. It is virtually impossible to get under a B in this class.

Dr Meer is a great teacher that explains the economics concepts very well. There is a ton of work in this class, but if you do it all and watch all the lectures, you will understand the material very well. It's also all online, which is nice.

This is a course that should be taken with vested interest in learning. He's a professor that makes sure you benefit from learning- if you so choose to do so. Great, interesting lectures. It is time consuming, but rewarding if you structure your study well. Exams are a bit tough, but that's kinda the point of a higher education. He cares.

People hate on Professor Meer way too much. He is genuinely a good professor, with good teaching skills. He's never been rude in his emails, unless you consider him expressing his disappointment over a pretty shocking grade average to be rude. His TA's are accessible. It's a hard class but I learned a lot and I'm genuinely greatful

I found this class very interesting. Professor Meer is an amazing and accessible professor who cares about his students' performance. Well-structured and taught through engaging lecture videos and Achieve quizzes. Exam averages were very low, but I scored well above the average by doing practice tests and problems. Easy A with effort and studying.

Professor Meer is truly an intelligent man who cares about his students. I heard that this class was tough but if you do all of the assignments, extra credit, and get in the 80s on the tests, you will most likely get an A. If you meet with Meer one-on-one, he will reward your efforts to do well in the class with extra tips on what to study.

Economics is a weird subject, but Professor Meer does a wonderful job at teaching it. I really enjoyed this class, but if you want an A you will need to put in the work. Discipline is your best friend as it is up to YOU to not fall behind. Do extra credit, and meet with him in person if you struggle with anything.

Jonathan is a cutie patootie. Putting that aside, he explains economic concepts well but you really need to understand everything intuitively especially for the exams. I got lucky and understood everything pretty easily but I can see how this class would be difficult especially with Exam 2. Put in work like you would for a normal class and do well.

Keep in mind, this class is almost entirely online, with the exams being in person. Despite that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the class. Professor Meer's videos are very helpful and easy to understand. There is a lot of homework, so you have to stay on top of it the whole time or you will fall behind. There's also a lot of resources to help you out.

This course is challenging, you will be put to the test, but he's overall a nice guy who gives you tons of extra credit opportunities, I probably would've gotten a lower letter grade if it weren't for those. Although I wish this course was in person, I would definitely take him again if need be

A lot of students are intimidated by this class, but don't be! Genuinely one of the most interesting classes I've taken. Come ready to put the work in, you can get a lot out of this course. Lots of homework, but that's just the nature of Econ. Professor Meer cares a lot about his students' success and provides a lot of tools for them to succeed.

Dr. Meer is very approachable if you have questions about concepts in the curriculum and tying it to current events, especially if you see him during office hours and in-person review sessions. The curriculum becomes more and more foundational in order to 1. learn and 2. pass the course, but they are very basic concepts about microeconomics.

Economics is difficult, but Dr. Meer provides many extra learning resources. The last two exams were challenging. His exams and weekly sessions always had terrible scheduling times, and old practice exams were hit or miss in studying. Grades are 55% 3 exams, 20% quizzes, 15% problem sets, 10% Packback participation, and +10% Packback extra credit.

This class is a lot of work and people complain saying its hard, but if you give it the time of day and read the text book it makes easier. I kind of gave up toward the end which is why i got a C but its honestly not as bad as everyone says if you study. DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS because he puts some questions from the practice exams on the actual exam

I enjoyed the class, particularly his video lectures. They were really short, but were relevant and related able. The class does use Packback for class participation, and be prepared to read the textbook. DO THE EXAM REVIEW. Additionally, he is very easy to talk with, so go to his coffee chats and review your previous test scores with him.

Although I didn't get the grade I hoped for, the course was super manageable. If you put in the right amount of effort, an A is definitely possible. I also learned a lot in his course!

got an A and scored in top 10% of the class- econ is hard but there are much harder classes in mays. focus on understanding > scoring, use the resources, go to TA office hours/his coffee chats. meer actually a pretty good prof but it's easy to slip through the cracks in a giant virtual class. put in the effort and it'll be okay.

Many hate Meer, all for no reason. This guy teaches you logic, plain and simple and beautiful. The haters watch the lecture videos and move on even if they don't understand the concept. Many dont even watch them. These fools do not realize logic is one connected web, so if you don't have one piece, moving on is futile. They should rewatch the vid.

I came into this class with the mindset that I was going to do bad. However, Prof. Meer does his absolute best to prepare students for exams. He has TONS of tutoring sessions/online zoom sessions, practice exams, examples, and so much more to equip the students to succeed.

It is an amazing class! I thought it was structured VERY WELL for an online course. Just make sure you watch the lectures and read the textbook if you don't understand a concept from the lecture video. The exams are very fair and similar to the practice exams. This was one of my favorite classes I have taken at A&M.

One of the most useful classes I have taken at TAMU. Meer is an incredible professor and cares about his students. The bad comments on here are people who did not put effort into the class and wanted a free A. The tests are challenging but are not too bad if you use the million resources that Meer provides. The class is structured incredibly well.

Professor makes it very clear that almost all of his lectures are logic, and there is no need to overthink as everything is right there in front of you. Assigns a lot of homework, and problem sets can be very annoying to do but hw helped prepare more for the exams than problem sets. Take the class if you are willing to put in time for it.

In my opinion, Dr. Meer has one of the most organized online classes out there. Each unit has a lecture video, textbook reading, and a unit "quiz" (which is two attempts a question and is not that hard). The class is HIGHLY manageable if you manage your time properly. Honestly, if you study and use all of the resources given to you, its an easy A.

Use the practice tests to study for the exams. The problem sets are annoying, as the questions are more difficult than the actual exam. Aside from that, expectations are clear, and the tests are no problem to get an A on if you do the practice tests. He knows what he is talking about, but comes off as rude. Welcome to the real world.

Whether or not you like him as a person is irrelevant because as a teacher he is amazing. He has SO MANY resources. Use the All Day AI, read the textbook, go to TA hours (the TA's will LITERALLY check your quizzes before you submit), go to his coffee shop hours, and you will honestly do great! Don't just do the bare minimum and expect to get an A.

Part 1: Meer is a good professor, the class is just way too much work for a ONLINE class. Each week is a new module and around 3-4 topics are due every few days. These include videos, textbook readings, and a quiz on the chapter. Once a week there is a problem set due over the unit (tip: TA's go over it 5:00-6:00pm). There are 3 exams, no final.

Part 2: There are SO many resources he provides for you to do well. Sample exams, tutoring times, practice problems, videos, etc. DO NOT PROCASINATE. I just used to gaslight myself the textbook was interesting (sometimes) to get me through it. Every assignment you do is practically an A except the exams (he even weighs your worst exam score less).

As much as I want to complain, I really can't. Be prepared to lock in for this class. Your grade reflects how much you apply yourself. Definitely have to work for an A. He does provide plenty of resources but this is also a class that might not come natural to most. If you make an undesirable grade in this class don't beat yourself up.

People who don't like Meer didn't apply themselves. Meer provides you with PLENTY of online assistance (All day TA, Coffee Hours, Tutoring Lab) all you have to do is put in effort. Lots of video/quizzes, but they're short. READ HIS EMAILS. If you do an extra packback it gives you extra credit. Watch example videos (can pop up on exams).

People who say Professor Meer is this horrible guy & won't give you anything to succeed are LYING and trying to scare you. Don't get me wrong econ202 is not super easy, BUT he gives you PLENTY of resources to help you understand. As long as you apply yourself and put the work in, you will be just fine.

Professor Meer is a fantastic professor who wants his students to succeed. Most of his negative feedback comes from people who were expecting an easy online class and this is anything but that. Come into this class ready to work; there is a LOT of homework and textbook readings due every week (I honestly didn't really read the textbook though).

Due to the nature of the online class, there is a lot of work per week. Highly recommend working ahead to stay on top of it. Professor Meer hosts review sessions before the exams and is easy to contact. Different tutoring methods are built into the course.

This course will be hard. That is the nature of the class, and there is no way around it. Dr. Meer does a great job at trying to make you prepared for the exams and gives plentiful supplemental information. Please do not be scared of this class, all of your friends will have to take it too, just stay disciplined, and have a good attitude about it.

Dr. Meer is genuinely one of the best professors at A&M. His class definitely requires that you put in effort, but he gives you all the resources you need to succeed...and then some! He communicates topics really well, and his class is interesting. Highly recommend.

Reasonable amount of work,the modules are fairly simple to understand and if you need help go to office hours. Do the extra credit!! It's very easy and only takes a few extra minutes. The thing that helped me the most was reading the textbook and watching his example videos.

Very accessible outside of class, tries to make the videos engaging and relatable. Exams are hard, I swear they're harder than the practice exams from previous years. Study, pay attention, do all the work and you should be fine.
