I study the day before the exams and literally get A's on all of them. Would literally just watch his videos 2x speed and review homework problems. My group was actually awful in REAL labs and had me questioning how they even go into college, and couldn't follow simple instructions to copy my work and get a 100%. Easy class would recommend.

Taking him now for Public Econ and so far absolute masterclass at teaching. Many in-class exercises that are super helpful to learn and great to study for exams. Considering UCF's econ department, one of the few profs that don't seem like they don't care at all, and are just there to read you pp slides and give you quizzes as your entire grade.

good professor he has simple videos on the modules like 4-5 vids then u do the homework for the week, pretty easy class.

grade isn't final yet but hopefully will stay lol. was super scared to take econ at first but with izenwasser all my fears went away. class based on short-ish readings, youtube videos, and professor videos which go over the book material with more examples. i understand his stuff well honestly. he + tas are SUPER helpful in class meetings as well

Microecon material can be hard to learn in general, I wouldn't blame that on the prof. Lecture videos are pretty straightforward, and if you needed help prof and TA office hours are pretty accessible. You definitely have to put in work to pass, so take notes and study hard.

It is a test heavy class that is pretty well put together. If you watch all of his videos and understand what he is doing you will be fine for the test. Very tedious and annoying homework though. His videos are an amazing study tool and if you take the time to understand what he is doing, you will pass. I never opened the textbook for this class.

Prof. Izenwasser was absolutely great, though the course is a mixed mode meaning half online and half in person, he made sure that everything was easily understandable and offered simple explanations of the course content. He professionally records his lectures and separates the lectures into its different topics!

People are overreacting. He isnt that bad and is accessible outside of class and encourages you to talk to him or the TAs. Yeah its test heavy but I did ok studying the hw and watching the videos. He had practice quizzes for each module and a discussion board for questions. If you struggle ask for help at office hours or on the discussion board

Very test-heavy but if you take the time to study you will do well—an unforgiving grader with no extra credit and little exception to the syllabus. Course material isn't difficult and help is available from TAs and professors.

His lectures are very well organized, insightful, and don't take up a lot of time. Although he is a bit monotone, he's articulate and good at explaining things. However, the 3 Tests are heavily weighted, and he may throw some curveballs, which is annoying but manageable if you study a decent bit. Overall a great professor, IMO better than 3 stars.

I liked the guy as a person and a teacher. For a REAL format class, his videos were decent in comparison to many other teachers. Very test heavy class but it's not his fault I understand. Cool guy and nice teacher and his videos are short too which is a plus.

This professor is actually the biggest blessing for the economics program at UCF. He explains things very thoroughly and is accessible if you need help. The lectures are pretty short and straight forward compared to other REAL classes. He is a very nice person and good teacher. Content on exams is very similar to other coursework.

Great teacher. Exams are kinda difficult but if you watch the videos and do the homework it is easy to pass the class

Honestly very good professor. He is always available for questions outside of class and the TA's are very helpful when going over tests.

The class was awful but the professor was good. His lectures made sense but the course is just really hard. He said the average for the class has always been C and that was my final grade. (For reference I had an A in every other class)

Professor I. has been my favorite Econ professor yet. He's a young guy and is easily relatable to and can have good conversations. Lectures are intriguing and easy to follow. Would take again no questions asked.

I thought the lectures were pretty understandable, it's not that bad. I got a B- because I didn't apply myself as much as I should have. If you commit to studying and understanding his lectures, the exams are similar to his notes and a higher grade is obtainable. You won't be shocked about content on any exam. He's also a chill young professor.

EVR major- class is way easier than everyone made it out to be. The meetings are kind of terrible, randomly assigned groups and you all complete the same paper but the TA's randomly chose 1 to grade for the entire group. It drove me nuts. Study his reviews and study guides for exams. His lecture videos are helpful. hard to fail

good lectures that make econ as easy as possible to understand. theres only 2 tests that r worth basically ur entire grade but the tests are straight forward and if u know what ur doing u shouldnt get below a C. ppl hate on prof izenwasser but hes honestly great and helpful if u need. as long as u put in the work and study for the tests u can pass!

Highly recommend Dr. I for Intermediate Micro. The course is rigorous, but he provides tons of opportunities to learn. His lectures are entertaining and he's very attentive to questions. Absolutely attend his office hours, he's really responsive to questions and can help with problem sets.

Great Professor! I would definitely recommend to take Dr. Izenwasser. He's a caring professor and makes the course entertaining! 100/10 Home-works have unlimited attempts, there's 2 exams and one final.

He and his TAs were super nice and helpful during classes. The content was a little bit difficult, but it was not too hard to understand the concepts. Would definitely take again.

He's great. The homework has unlimited attempts, do it until you get 100% and the exams and quizzes aren't that hard. Just depends on how much you study. Great professor who makes his own video lectures and provides outside resources too.

The way this course is structured makes it difficult to succeed. However, I do not think that is the professors fault. His lecture videos are useful and he clearly understands what he is teaching. I found the mandatory class activities to be helpful and really reinforced the topics. Overall the course is not that bad you just need to put the effort

The class is set up to learn mostly on your own. Everything is pretty much online content, and he posts lectures on the material. Come to class prepared, and actually keep up with the content (it can accumulate). He is a very nice and approachable person. But it's pretty much learn on your own...

Simply the best professor I've had in UCF in terms of being respectful and professional. His lectures are fun and it makes int

This class is challenging—especially if you're not strong in math. But Professor Izenwasser does a great job making the concepts more digestible. He genuinely cares about students' success and gives partial credit if you can explain the economic intuition behind the math.

To be honest I struggled more than I'd like to admit. It was a difficult class but pretty straightforward. I liked his lecture videos. The exams are what were difficult. You definitely need to understand every chapter before moving on to the next. Compared to my last eco class, this class was definitely better. Just wish he gave extra credit.

Honestly, 10x better than Nora Underwood. This professor explains everything with simplicity. He cares about his students.

This professor was great. His lecture videos were clear and if you follow along they prepare you well for what to expect on exams. The in-class activities also were a huge help to prepare. This teacher also seemed to care about the students. I would definitely take him again.

I feel like if I understood this class more I could have gotten an A. I took Macro at the same time so maybe that was my own fault. He is young so his examples are easy to understand. . HW takes a long time but has unlimited attempts. So no reason to not get 100%. Exam are easy, questions worded tricky. Had an opportunity to sing for extra credit.

idkw theres so many bad reviews. prof did great at lecturing in a way anyone could understand! i didnt get a topic or two, but i studied the practice quizzes, notes, and study guides and got high Bs on both exams + final. exams are BIG part of yr grade so be prepared to study. hw and in class assignments are easy (attendance mandatory 2)

All gripes here are with the course mode. He's a cool guy who did the best with the 1200 students a semester course he was given. The course material is difficult, but the lectures directly reflect the tests. You're 100% able to get a A with the resources he gives you + some effort. You'll be fine, don't be scared by the negative reviews.

It was definitely a difficult class, however his lectures and practice questions were helpful. I didn't study for one test and it brought my grade down. So you definitely can't fail any tests or assignments. But overall he explained the concepts pretty well. Liked him better than my macro teacher. I would say just don't get behind on any chapter.

I'm not sure why some of the other comments here rate him so poorly. Honestly the class is pretty easy if you just watch his videos and put a small amount of effort into paying attention. The tests were cake if you just do your part as a student and watch the his videos and go through the content he provides.

People just don't want to study! Don't let reviews scare you; this guy was actually really good. Amazing resources/videos and tests were very similar to them. TAs all had insane god complex's tho. Overall ,chill class is heavily recommended

Best economics teacher I have had at UCF, and def better than Nora Underwood!! His videos are amazing and correlate directly to the tests. Anyone complaining just didn't study

I really enjoyed this class. I took it over summer, so fitting everything in 6 weeks is a little tough. Dr. I was great though, he kept the in-class assignments/lectures engaging, and made all criteria and expectations for the class and exams clear. I think if your willing to put a little bit of work in, he makes it as easy as possible to succeed.

This class was okay. Tests and the final exam are heavily weighted. However, if you watch the lecture videos and do the module quizzes for each chapter you should do well in his class. He gives a little extra credit at the end to help your grade, don't wait till last minute to study because there is a lot of information in his lecture videos.

Tests are worth 65% of the grade (2 20% and the final is cumulative worth 25%). Took this class during summer b and it was pretty easy. You must watch the lecture videos and must show up to meetings. Lowest homework grade is dropped and meeting score. He responds to emails if they're not about boosting grades. It's an easy course for bus majors.

He is a great professor, who really cares about his students. He can be tough and strict but he does his best to be as helpful as possible. He always responded to emails within a reasonable time. Class is test-heavy. Make sure to watch the videos and do the assignments as they can really teach you and help your grade.

The class is very test heavy so be prepared to be familiar with the content. However, there was a practice test and outline of what was on the test that made it easier. If you are confused in the class, I recommend taking advantage of the TA's during class. As long as you pay attention to the videos and study for the test you should be fine.

There were tedious parts, but it was not that difficult of a class. In class assignments were cake, homework did not take too long, and if you studied for the exams they were not that bad. The modules were easy to follow, and the textbook explained concepts well. If you aren't lazy then pay no mind to the negative reviews, they don't apply to you.

If you read the textbook and watch the videos you should be fine. the homework is not that bad, you should be able to do each assignment in a reasonable amount of time and they are relatively easy too. also, do study for the exams because those are weighted heavily and can be challenging if you don't study. lastly, take advantage of the TA's.

The other reviews on this professor are definitely exaggerating. Was he the best professor I have ever had? Definitely not. But the class was not extremely difficult and I thought the ALL sessions were somewhat productive. He really does not make the class harder than it has to be, and I thought the exams were very straightforward.

Great lecturer. - he makes it really interesting. But you have to study. If you don't want to do the work, then don't take this class.

Very simple class schedule with about 3 short videos and about 2 assignments a week to do and occasionally a class meeting that is very simple. Honestly pretty easy class and would do it again.

Honestly a great professor, class covers a lot of content that you wouldn't really understand unless you attend class. Only grades are quizzes every couple of weeks and three exams. Lectures are actually great and interesting, very friendly guy as well.

Because of the format of this class, I was rarely in class with Izenwasser, but the class was very reasonable as long as you watch the lecture videos, give effort, and follow along. The tests are weighted heavily, but I always felt prepared for them. The group assignments were not my favorite, but he tried his best to make the class good.

Um really confused by these bad reviews Was he the best, no, but the course was easy as long as u watch his videos and pay attention I felt the exams were heavily aligned w the study guides he posted and were very reasonable He strictly follows the syllabus where if u miss something thats it, but just dont miss anything and your grade will be good

Loved him. The assignments actually helped me learn and I liked that the tests were not so math heavy. Great professor.

Wasnt a great prof, but his lecture videos were good. Dont trust some of these reviews bc theyre coming from students who dont pay attention to anything. There are study guides w/ practice problems and a file w/ just practice problems posted for every exam. Without fail, on every exam ive seen some of the same problems that were on the study guide.

He is a good professor. This class is pretty easy. If you have a good grasp of Econ concepts, then you'll do fine. There is not much math. You have learning exercises and quizzes during the semester, which outline what the midterm and final will be like.

Very easy professor. I have no idea why he has such bad ratings, all you have to do is take the notes and show up to class 6 times for the entire semester. It's not his fault how the class is set up that's just the business program for you. Exams are very fair and closely based off of the notes, homework, and practice quizzes.

Really fun professor who cares about the material he teaches. Not as math-heavy as other econ classes, but should still attend the lectures. His quizzes and the midterm are relatively straightforward, but his final was really difficult & he didn't give us enough time to take it either.

I Loved this professor, assignments, and Exams were easy as long as you put in effort. His video lectures are very helpful. He does a good job of explaining things and is also very helpful in class meetings. 10/10 recommend.

Great lecturer and very comfortable with technology. I didn't need to contact him, so I can't speak on communication, but he posts frequent announcements and is easy to reach during class. He explains concepts clearly. Exams are tough, but other assignments and participation are easy. His grading scale is generous.

He is the first professor I have had here that genuinely made a business class fun. He explains the content so clearly in a way that is understandable and truly wants to see you do well in his class. The content is slightly challenging but with some hard work it is very doable. Exams are very similar to the homework/lectures.

Perfectly average student who does homework assignments and studies last minute before the test: The in-class assignments are short and recap information. Super test heavy but his online materials and videos are pretty helpful. Final is hard but he provides a curve and extra credit. Nice guy and I found his lectures insightful and entertaining.
