I took various classes with him, he is a very good teacher. Tests are not easy but you will really learn economics with him.

One of the best professors I ever had. He really knows what his talking about. If you want to learn something valuable take this guy!!!

no Bullsh*T he is tough but the subject itself is tough. he knows the material very well and he teaches very well. if you go to class and study hard you should atleast get a B-. do your homework, study hard, pay attention and youll get a good grade. very good teacher.

I had him for two economic courses. He is really easy to understand and his tests aren't hard if you go to class and take notes.

This is one great professor, he teaches w/ passion, explains things related to real life and is incredibly fair. I learned a lot in his class. A true pleasure.

one of the best professors i've ever had. in order to get a good grade you have to study hard and go to class, but you will learn so much. He doesn't just teach whats on the book; he relates everything to real life and that makes his lecture much more interesting. I highly recommend him.

If you like hearing "war stories" for every topic discussed, then you'll like Mr. Lopez-Calleja's class. To those complaining about his tests, I disagree. If you actually study and participate in class, you'll find his tests are straightforward.

great teacher that knows the subject matter really well. he cracks a couple of jokes during class and drifts away from the subject at times to discuss interesting topics, making the class a little bit more entertaining as a result. Also,hes a big time liberal that hates bush with a passion.he mentions him in a negative light injustabout every class

He is a good professor if you do your part, you can't miss a single day of class and have to read the subject, you also need to like the subject and have a good background on micro and macro, if not, dont even take him

This man knows what he is teaching. He has worked in corporate America, has extensive knowledge on many other subjects, and knows how to judge economic decisions. He is a FAIR tester, believe it. Many say he's hard, but everything on the test comes from the lecture, book, & practice quizzes. Great man to deal with, but don't piss him off!

This is one of the best courses I've taken in my college career. Lectures are very clear and precise. He's very passionate about the material and well informed. I received a 'B' in the course.

A lot of people talk crap about him, but this is the truth: show up to class, take notes, review the book and quizzes on the book's website, and be honest/respectful with him. Once you are on his good side, he will be very lenient, but don't mistake that with weakness on his behalf. He knows what he's doing, and his grading is very generous.

Good teacher. 3 tests, no attendance. Tests were not too tough if you read the book. You can bring a 5x8 notecard to tests which makes them alot easier.

He is the adviser for the Econ major so eco people see him alot. He is weird then and in class. Makes you work for you grade so there is no slacking off.

I absolutely loved this class!! Alot clearer that my first econ courses. Yes, the course is challenging, but the lectures are wonderful. He's clear and precise. If you do your work you can survive.

He is very good explaining the material. I highly recomend him, one of the least professors woth to have a class with. He teaches very well, you will learn. If you pay attention to class and read the book you will do good in the class.

He was an incredible teacher. Everything he mentioned in class was relevant to the topics. He incites students to learn economics. If youe read, go to class and take online quizzes you will do great!!

The best economics professor I've had at FIU. He's tough but is an exceptional teacher. Take him only of you want to learn.

Awesome teacher. The material is hard, but he makes it interesting.

Good professor, very helpful

This is the best and most challenging online class I have encountered. The prof responds quickly and is very willing to help. If you follow the weekly assignments and keep on top of it you will be ok. The prof gives decent curves on exam. :)

Funny teacher

I cant agree with all previous reviews! I took class with professor last summer, and to me he seemed wonderful! When I couldnt attend the midterms because of my work, he let me take them on other days. Most of material was explained in class, but you also have to read book and do homework. EVERYTHING in tests was from lecture and book. I got A.

He’s an awesome teacher - the best teacher you can have if you take Economics at FIU. The material is straightforward and he gives you lots of material to study from. He’s willing to help at any time and responds real quickly to questions. You need to work a lot so don’t take this course if you have a heavy load. Overall a fun class!

Calleja is a great teacher! He really knows his stuff and tries to engage the class in current economic topics. His class isn't the easiest, but it's not horrible either. If you do all your work and study, you should get by with a B - I did. He actually makes economics VERY interesting, I loved his class.

I'm a business major and I got alot from his class. Learned much more than my macro class. He really teaches and cares about us. I plan to take him again for applied macro.

Great econ teacher, knows material and how to explain it very well. Gives nice lectures. Seems tough on the outside, but real friendly & helpful. The ideal teacher for any economics class (which we all know they are mostly hard).

easy professor for a hard class. exams are straight forward. get to use 1 index card with notes. write small and put everything in there from the chapters

This class requires 100% of your time. The material is very difficult, he is very willing to help, however you must read the chapters backwards and forwards at least twice once you're in the bulk of the material in order to grasp it.

Exams are not easy, so study, but he does curve. Very passionate, so go to all his lectures. Also very strong personality - you will either love or hate him. Buy the book, b/c gives HW every week and (25% of grade) and you'll need it to study for the exams. And don't ever EVER say what he's teaching is irrelevant or he'll make u cry in class

A great professor. Why is he not ranked higher? He's concerned with his student's success and his lectures are extremely clear. Pay attention in class, study hard from the text, and you'll do well.

Material is difficult, but he is fair and generally curves the exams. I took it online and would have liked to seen what I missed on weekly quizzes, but he has a thing about showing graded quizzes online. I think he figures it might help someone to cheat?

Good professor, even better professional; teaches online only, mandatory attendance to an extra-official class orientation, drops u if u don't attend; doesn't use online reminder tools, exams are ok, nice person, but don't piss him off cause u'll get it for sure! A- professor.

Best professor I have ever had. He really helps you learn if you help yourself. If you do not go to class and expect to pass, well good luck.

He is dedicated but tough. I took him online and he will not let you see your quizzes or Exams in full, only the grade. I felt that even when I read all of the material, the exams were hard. He is determined to stop people from cheating even when there are some of us that don't. He curves the exams though. I still would not recommend him.

He's a great professor. He gives detailed lectures and is very clear. Answers questions in class and is very nice. One of the best profs I've had FIU. However, you need to study and attend class.

Took online and material is hard! Weekly quizzes, 3 papers, 3 exams which you have to study for ALOT. HOWEVER, if you ask a question, he ALWAYS responds with an example. You only have 1 day & a 3 hour window to take quizzes/exams. He's not bad but but you DO have to study ALOT.

Disregard all negative posts; he IS a great prof. He explains everything in detail in class so when you go to study the text you already know what to focus on and can cut out the crap. Tries to make class fun by applying economic concepts to current issues and is very sarcastic and witty. Curves all exams. If you fail his in-person it's your fault!

Prof. Lopez Calleja is one of the best online profs at FIU. He's incredible at responding to questions and emails. His syllabus and instructions are very clear and he posts revuew materials. Got to study hard and keep up every week. He gives access to weekly quizzes so you can see where you went wrong. Very flexible. Great online class!

this class is tough, but he is a fabulous econ prof. he really knows his stuff and does lots of complex problems in class. prof calleja teaches you to think like an economist. take the class if you want to learn. you'll want to be an economist after to take him.

great prof. You can tell he loves his work and responds to online questions every day! he lets you look at your quiz results and curves exams - so you have a chance. I learned a lot! but, the class is not easy... you got to work. excellent teacher.

I don't understand why so many people are whining. The tests are hard but he curves. I took his class online and he was very responsive. I've always gotten A's in my classes but I have walked out of some not knowing anymore than when I walked in (or logged on). At least I learned something and you have to hand it to him - he knows his stuff.

prof calleja teaches his class with passion and enthusiasm for economics. his lectures are engaging - he?s interesting, intelligent and quite humorous. prof really knows his stuff, explains theory in an understandable way and gives many practical applications. i had to work quite a bit for my grade, but it was definitely worth it. nice guy!

I've had him for two classes and he is a wonderful teacher. hard but if he sees you do the work and pay attention in class will help you a lot. again, great professor. he knows his stuff and makes the class interesting

Very challenging class, but professor takes a real interest in the subject. Interesting lectures and helpful but only if you put in the extra effort.

Engaging, funny and best professor I have had in a long time. Many warned that his class was hard. He is a demanding professor, but one that definetely rewards dedication and hard work. He made this otherwise boring and complicated subject onto an interesting and fun learning experience. If you want to learn something, take his class.

first at all the class is very hard but you will learn a lot. The professor is very cooperative with the students, he really knows what he is teaching. You will have to study A LOT! 8 hours a day! and thats not enough!

Took this course online during Fall 2008. The class isn't easy. Requires lots of reading and practicing. If you aren't good in eco, you might want to take this in person instead. Prof can be rude, but will help you if you have any questions. 3 Exams, 11 quizzes, and 2 written assignments (not easy). He drops the 2 lowest quiz scores.

great professor. you learn the material. keep track of the notes. do not miss class. great class. :)

Funny guy, hates business majors but loves economics majors. Intensive math, expects a lot of calculus even though it's explicitly required. Difficult tests, lots of homework that needs to be switch to an online form.

One of my favorite professors. Economics has never been more clear or interesting throughout my education. A lot of studying time required, but tests don't cover an intense amount of material. The professor discusses real-life economics issues, which allows you to apply what you learn in class to what you hear in the real world. Highly recommended.

what a bunch of whiners! this class was excellent. tests are challenging but doable if you study. he also curves. he answers emails and posting every day, unlike others. he's very helpful if you ask. if you're looking for an easy grade and a piece of paper don't take him. if you want to learn then he's the man. learned lots.

Took the Course Online. It was very difficult and requires alot of your time. If you are going to take this online, be prepared to work. Ended with a B- .

this prof doesn't give grades away, but you learn. he'll help you as long as you work hard. he really cares about students and curves exams. responds to online questions everyday and gives really nice explanations. i've taken online classes for two years and this is one of the best i've seen. you won't enjoy if your a slacker. I luv it!

He is the best professor ever. I have taken three courses with him. His lectures are very helpful and he cares about his students. Show up to class and study with ahead of time. The tests are not hard, and he lets you use a card so you can write the formulas and graphs you need. He rocks!!!!

he's one of the best profs in the econ dept. gives detailed lectures, explains theory and does lots of problems. wish some of the other profs were like him. he's very helpful and glad to explain when you don't understand. i highly recommend him if you want to learn something.

He is awesome! Idk about those saying he is the worst prof. in their lives. He knows what he is talking about, he is funny and he makes the class interesting. He talks and teaches reality! If you want to learn this is your professor. I've had one exam so far and it was not easy but if you read all the notes and the ppt you are good! I recommend him

Very good professor. I am taking my second class with him this semester. If you want to learn about Economics, I suggest you take a class with Lopez-Calleja. His Micro class is not easy and you have to do lots of homework. His Money & Banking class is easier in my opinion. Solid teacher. He does like to talk about himself, but he know Economics.

The BEST econ professor I've had here at FIU. He's not the easiest, but you actually learn, think and are enriched by this class. Read the text, attend lecture and do problems in the study guide. His exams are ok and relate to the course material. His classes are current and very interesting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I don't know what some other commentors were smoking, but this professor is excellent! I hated economics prior to his class, but after the first day, couldn't wait to come to the next lecture. Fantastic professor! Read the book, use the study guide, use his e-mailed material, and you will do fine. You have to work! Again, excellent professor!

Yes, his course is difficult but you actually learn. His syllabus is straighforward and I can actually say I learned something in this class. BTW, I earned a C+ so it tells you how though it was WITH the curves

Got an A-, but it took work. Prof gives weekly quizzes, 3 tests, some written assignments. The class is interesting and I enjoyed it. If you want the easy way out, dont' take it, but if you want to learn and get something that you?ll be able to use, this is it! Prof is responsive and posts lots of info. Highly recommend! Not for slackers!

Absolutely amazing! One of the best econ profs at FIU. Very passionate about his subject and he actually teaches you something. He knows what he?s talking about and talks about both theory and current issues. The material isn?t easy, but he organizes it in a way that?s understandable and makes sense. Definitely recommend him for any class!

i've taken many online courses, but this was one of my favorites. prof is helpful and responds quickly to questions. the class is well organized and clear. the material is not easy, but what do you expect at a university? i got an A and i recommend this prof. he gives curves on exams and is approachable. class is not for layabouts and loafers.

This class in not a cake walk and neither is he. Be prepared to study hard on the exams. He will offer extra credit at the end of the semester. In spite of the difficulty of the class he's probably the best professor I've ever had. He cares about teaching you practical things that tie into the material. A definite MUST if you are a Econ major/minor

Most amazing professor ever! He?s the epitome of what professors should be like. Lectures are so clear and he explains the reasoning behind it. He?s amazingly organized and well prepared, and really knows his stuff. On top of it all, he?s always willing to answer questions after class and very approachable. He?s great!

This teacher is excellent. he makes a somewhat difficult subject easy to understand by sticking to the basics. take him if you can. and if you're worried about his ratings like I was before I took the class, notice how most of his disgruntled students were students that took the course online. face to face students have nothing to worry about.

He is an amazing professor. He expects alot from his students. He gives you review materials, and allows you a note card on exams. If you work hard you can earn an A or B. It's important to go to his lectures and read book & study guide. His lectures are excellent and very current. There's few professors as well prepared for class as this guy.

An amazing teacher, very helpful. Classes are fantastic. Material is not easy, but explains a lot. He actually writes notes on the board. I did well b/c I read the text and studied the notes. The professor is very knowledgeable and it shows in class. He lets you bring a note card to the exam and gives a decent curve on tests. Highly recomme

This prof know his stuff. I learned lots in his class. Yes applied macro is not easy at first. but if you read his notes and the chapters more twice it really helps. I did average on first test and earned a B in the course. :) also do exercises in the study guide. class is great! highly recommend this prof! :)

The class is not an easy subject, but the professor is clear and very objective. He has great organization and his lectures are actually interesting. He is strict but fair.

great prof. one of the best classes i've taken at fiu. this prof really knows his stuff and communicates well. the class is very practical and prof provides good examples. he's very fair an curves exams. you do have to study and take notes. i highly recommend this class to business majors and others wanting to learn economics. :)

prof. lopez calleja is a great teacher. lectures are well organized and thorough. you’ll actually understand what he says. tests are reasonable. he’s brilliant and knows the subject inside out. formula card allowed on exams. curves are fair. you will learn and enjoy this class and it will prepare you for econometrics. prof was great!

Excellent professor. He definitively knows what he is talking about. Often goes off topic and talks a lot about politics but his topics and discussions are very interesting and relevant. Read the book and do the practice questions on the book;s website. The book is pretty easy to read and packs a lot of useful content.

very nice teacher

This teacher is so nice!!! He talks about what's happening in the world which makes him interesting! He's very clear and funny! However, study hard for the test, they are not easy, but remember it's Economics!!

Excellent Professor and great class. He is very supportive for the students. I highly recommend taking his class. He is very knowledgeable and wants the best for his students. Take this class with Professor Calleja.

Prof.L-C is amazing so much clarity he wants you to pass. I RECOMEND HIM TO EVERYBODy

Prof. Calleja is an awesome professor!! His lectures are very understandable and clearing. He is very helpful and makes the class very interesting. He is very knowledgeable and his tests are fair but challenging. He is very caring and dedicated. Would definitely take him again. Very inspirational.

Great prof. Very knowlegeable and was online every day answering questions. Very responsive and helpful. One of the exams was tough but he gave a nice curve. The only problem is that its tough to cover the material in six weeks. Other than that i learned alot. He's really fair. I would recomend this prof.

I had this Prof for three classes. Wish I could take more. He's a little intense but explains everything. Doesn't mind answering questions or staying after class to help. tests can be challenging but allows a formula sheet. I earned a B+ with reasonable amount of work. Homework is a must and helps to prepare fort tests. Fantastic. Recommend.

AMAZING

Great Professor!! This has been my favorite class I've ever had in FIU as far as having so much real world information and lessons! He is very passionate about his opinions and I defiantly agree with him 100%. Do the homework that he suggests it will help a lot on the exams, and go to class you will learn more then any book can teach you.

Can be boring sometimes, but he really knows his stuff. He is willing to help you if you need him. His topics are really interesting and he does a great job relating the material to real life. Would definitely recommend him but don't expect an A without putting any work.

This course is challenging but doable. Prof responds to questions daily and is helpful. Gives really nice curves on exams. Lots of quizzes which are great practice for tests. Overall prof is fair and very responsive. Recommend.

Calleja is an excellent online professor. He keeps you interested and engaged. Gives lots of quizzes and three exams. Gives generous curves on tests. Very responive to questions. Would take again.

Taking econ online is not easy, but Professor Lopez is very helpful and responds every day. Gives recommended problems and exercises, and access to lecture powerpoints. Gives weekly quizzes. Tests aren't easy, but if you study hard then you can get a good grade. I got a B+ in the course. He gives curves and is a fair grader. Recommend.

Prof. Calleja is accessible and responds quickly to questions. Read the book and lecture Powerpoints to pass exams. There are weekly quizzes and four exams. The course isn't easy but its doable. I put in lots of time and earned an A-. One good thing is that he gives a study guide for each chapter and curves each of the exams. Recommend.

This prof gives plenty of study materials for his online course. Always responded to my questions quickly and thoroughly. Read the text, study the recommended homework and the powerpoints. Plenty of grading opportunities. He gives weekly quizzes and four exams. He gives generous curves on tests. The chapter study guides helped on tests. Nice.

Prof Lopez was excellent. He was very helpful and provided a lot of valuable information in his syllabus. Make sure to read the book and do the problems in the study guide he gives for each chapter. This helped me a lot on quizzes and exams. He answered all my questions promptly and with great detail. For an online course, its a good one.

I took him last semester online. Like other online courses its a little tougher, but he has lots of grading opportunities. He gives weekly quizzes, three exams and a final. A study guide is provided for each chapter. Hes really nice and willing to work with you. Responds quickly to email. This class is not an easy A, but doable. Nice prof!

Excellent professor! I took Lopez-Calleja a while ago. He is astute in his field of teaching Economics. I highly recommend you get to take his class because you will definitely leave the course with a knowledge.

One of the best online profs at FIU. Hes was very responsive to all my email messages and postings. He is very caring about his students and gives lots of grading opportunities. Read the book, review the powerpoints and do the study guide questions and your fine. I would definitely take him again.

I took the class during fall 16 and it was a great decision. Theres lots of reading, and he gives lecture powerpoints and study materials for each chapter. Theres a quiz for each chapter and 3-4 exams. This prof answers questions quickly and very responsive compared to other online courses. Everything is clear and hes very nice & caring. :)

Prof L-C is a star. His lectures are actually interesting and useful, and hes not arrogant. He tries to reach everyone regardless of your background. Hes very dedicated, thorough, and gives lots of review materials for exams. If you go to class, review class notes and do homework, you should pass with a decent grade. Loved his class.

He makes it very clear what he is going to test you on and when everything is due. He responds really fast to messages, which is great for an online course. The tests aren't super easy, but not super hard either. Just make sure you read the book and utilize all the resources he gives you.

Prof. Calleja is THE BEST prof you could hope to get for in any econ course. He explains everything so everyone understands. Gives 4 exams and many quizzes. Gives a study guide for each chapter - it helps with quizzes & exams. He's always accessible and responds quickly. He curves exams and is very flexible and fair with us.

Prof. Calleja is a dedicated and passionate teacher. He uses the book, gives detailed explanations in class and does sample problems.

He's the best prof!

This class was great and very clear. Everything needed is shown in the syllabus. Read the book and do each of the chapter study guides he gives you the questions and answers. The course is challenging but the math is not hard mostly slopes and straight lines, which are easy. Prof responded to my questions on the same day. Recommend class.

Great professor. Lectures were organized and interesting. Prof. Lopez is very knowledgeable and brought lots of interesting perspectives to class. He explained complex topics in a way that I could understand and used lots of real-world data in class. Connect homework helped me to prepare for exams. Tests were reasonable. I loved the class.

Overall great professor and class. He covers the theoretical stuff and gives practical insights. Attend lectures b/c he takes random attendance. Take good notes and read the book, and you should pass with at least a B. Homework counts. Tests can be challenging but reasonable no questions out of nowhere. One of the best econ classes at FIU.

I Econometrics is a tough course no matter who you take.(3-4 test mc and fill in and homework) Calleja will try to simplify it as much as possible. Attendance is mandatory to both learn the material and for attendance. Calleja will put that into consideration at the end. He's very knowledgable but he is understanding and will help where he can

Prof. Lopez is by far one of the best teachers I've had at FIU. I took him for Measurement and Econometrics. This class is difficult, but he makes things clear and works hard to make you understand the material. Grades base on hw, two midterms and final exam. Coming to class is essential since he translates the dry material for you. Awesome!

Lopez is an amazing professor who cares about his students. Hes passionate for economics and it shows in his lectures. Prof is very knowledgeable and breaks down the material in a clear way. Hes approachable and is around after class to answer questions. He challenges you to think and is very fair when it comes to grading he curves exams. Great

He curved all three exams and was very fair grading. The prof also provided a study guide for each chapter which helped a lot on the exams. Also allows a formula sheet for exams. Great class.

His class is very organized and it's all laid out on the syllabus. He's a fun and passionate guy who really knows Econ and prepares you for the exams as long as you do the work. He is very understanding and wants his students to succeed, so ask him for help if you need. His class is not as hard as it appears, do the work, and you'll actually learn

Excellent class. It is clearly laid out - just follow the weekly assignments and quizzes. Theres 4 exams and he lets you use a note card on each one. Chapter study guides that review the book material is great prep for exams. Hes extremely reasonable and gives you plenty of chances to earn a good grade and responds to emails daily. Recommend

He gives a study guide for each chapter which I used for exams it helps a lot. He responds to online questions quickly and always is there for you. Gives a decent curve. A very doable class if you study.

Lopez is very flexible and cares about his students. He responds quickly to questions and is always there when you need him. Hes willing to help anyone who asks. Recommend.

Lopez is a hilarious and truly exceptional teacher. He knows his stuff and isnt afraid to share it with students. Lectures are interesting and never boring. He makes you think about topics you hadnt thought of before. Gives 3 exams and homework for each chapter. Take notes, read the book and pay attention. He curves exams. Great class!

Loved the class. Prof gives weekly quizzes but not much homework. This gave me time to read and enjoy the class. The topics are interesting and he gives a study guide for each chapter which helps a lot on the tests. He answers questions in-depth when you ask and responds quickly. Easy to get a B, and even an A if you work. Curves exams. Very Fair!

Even with COVID this class was very interesting. Gives frequent quizzes which forced me to do the homework along the way and helps you keep up. Gives three exams which were pretty fair and tied together all our topics. He responds to his online messages daily and is accessible. This is the third class Ive taken with this professor and hes great.

Prof. Calleja has been very flexible, especially during the pandemic. Theres lots of homework but he gave us review materials for the 2nd and 3rd exam, which helped a lot. The syllabus is clear and well organized and you cant go wrong if you do the hw. Gives two hours for each exam and curves. Its at least a B if you do the work. Great class

Lopez is awesome. Hes very caring, helpful and flexible. He communicates with students and responds the same day. I think he had a hard time adapting to remote learning, but he really tried. Your grade is based on weekly quizzes and four exams, and he gives a nice curve. He lets you use a note card on exams. Must take!

He is a fantastic instructor. The work is very reasonable - weekly quizzes and four exams. The assignments in the syllabus are clearly laid out. He responds very quickly to messages.

This prof is a really good teacher. The material is slightly challenging but nothing extremely difficult. Gives weekly homework and quizzes, as well as 3 exams. Grading is quite generous and hes always willing to answer your questions. Allows use of note card on exams. Very accessible and flexible. Definitely a good class

Professor Lopez-Calleja is honestly a great teacher; don't listen to the other individuals rating him poorly. COVD has put a strain on teachers and has confused everyone. I had him for a fully online class that was supposed to be in person but he really teaches and cares for his students. The lectures are a must and so is work but he is knowledgeab

Great prof. Hes a real gem, especially for online classes. Gives weekly homework assignments for each chapter, which prepare you for the exams. Gives 4 exams based on weekly homework/quiz. Hes a fair grader. Gave a really nice curve at the end. Surprisingly, my grade went from a C+ to a B at the end. Helpful and accessible. Excellent.

This was a really good online course. The course is straightforward and easy to follow. Aside from the weekly homework assignments, he gives 3 exams and a final. The hw helps you to prep for exams. The course was very straightforward, the prof responds quickly and is very accessible if you need help. I enjoyed the course and recommend him.

Good lectures

Literally, one of the most straightforward online classes Ive taken at FIU. There are weekly chapter assignments and quizzes, and three exams that are very reasonable. Lopez is good at responding to your questions, if you ask. If you don't pass with at least a B, you must have not done anything during the course. Everything is clearly laid out.

Hands down one of the best online classes Ive taken. Crystal clear online course. There are no lectures, but prof provides lecture PowerPoints that are easy to understand. There are four exams and weekly chapter quizzes. That's the whole course. Exams are multiple choice and he allows a note card. Also gives nice curves on exams.

Excellent prof. Hes attentive and very hands on. Class is composed of weekly assignments and 4 exams. This online class is very flexible and theres plenty of time to finish assignments. He responds to his messages daily and really card about his students. Gives a nice curve at the end too. Truly amazing!

Lopez is a chill professor. very caring and accommodating. there are hw assignments for each chapter. tests are based on hw and very doable. his online course was the best choice I made. provides lecture ppts and videos. responds to questions quickly. three exams and no final. had to work a bit but the class was AMAZING. TAKE HIM.

3 exams(no final; 75% of grade) on honorlock & 2hws per chapter(14 chapters in total, 25% of grade)& extra credit for attendance. Although the class was so long(3hrs&20min) b/c it was for the summer term, it was still interesting. He has his own notes and posts ppts from the book,go over both! His own notes are only given in class;very useful notes

Good prof, actually enjoys teaching and likes to answer questions. Responded quickly to my canvas messages and actually taught me micro.

Great man who is very passionate about his field of study. His lectures are neat, but it would be more ideal if he was the only speaker, as he always asks the class questions mid-lecture; that was the most annoying part of the course. His tests are the hardest in the Economics dept but he does guarantee one thing-- you will learn economics

Honestly learned a lot in this class. I had to put the effort in but it worked in my favor bc I ended up with a good grade. Definitely ask questions and go to office hours.

Exams are worth(85%), hw(15%). The exams aren't impossible to do, but they're hard and very long. LOOK @ the hw&ppts & you'll get a passing grade. He's a bit fast-paced on lectures so take pictures. Attendance boosts your final grade, so come to every class and you'll get points added. He's a very nice person, so feel free to ask questions

Mr. Lopez Calleja is an incredible proffessor! You have to put in the work, but if you do, you'll find your knowledge and love for economics grow!

He is a fantastic instructor. Responds to emails quickly and provided great feedback. Very flexible and treated me with respect. Gives 4 tests, weekly homework, and an extra credit quiz at the end. Tests are pretty easy if you study. He also curved the final grade. Very nice and fair. I would take this prof for any econ class. Great!

Lopez is one of the best professors at FIU. His course is well organized and easy to follow online. Gives 3 tests, all proctored but fair. Weekly hw assignments and quizzes. Lots of grading opportunities. He provides an outline of study material for tests. Straightforward and easy as long as you do the work. Curves exams. Great class!

Prof Lopez is an amazing professor. He cares for his students and their success in econ. He is helpful and will do what he can to accommodate student needs. You will learn useful info that you can apply. He is organized, consistent, and makes sure students are on the same page. Material can be challenging, but not bad at all. Would take him again.

Amazing micro prof. Course is not easy, but he does a great job of explaining. He is thorough and knowledgeable. Read the text and do the hw assign and you should be ok. He only tests the important stuff so pay attention in class. Very reasonable and curves at the end. Great prof!

Hard but he's fair. Reading through every single page of the chapter's assigned along with practice/review book questions and reviewing the ppts help a lot. Exams are 75% of your grade and HW is only 25%, he tries to curve grades (whenever possible). I do guarantee anyone one thing, any class that you take with him, you WILL learn economics.

Lopez is the BEST. This class is easy if you study and do weekly homework. Tests are similar to hw questions and some reappear on the exam. He responds to questions quickly and is very nice. I wish I had other online profressirs like him. Would definitely take classes with him again.

Very nice prof. I don't like economics at all, but he made my online class enjoyable. Weekly assignments are easy to follow and there's plenty of ways to earn your grade. There are three tests and weekly homework. He responds quickly and is knowledgeable. He's accessible and gives nice curves. Very fair. I would take him again if I could. Best.

Lopez was a great online prof. Syllabus and grading is clear. Chapter assignments due every week and worth 30% of grade. There are 3 exams and questions are from book material. Tests were moderately difficult with some easy questions. Make sure to read book and do the Study Plan and you will do fine on the exams. He gives a curve at end. Got a B+.

Amazing course with reasonable exams. Average on exams was mid 70's so there was a pretty good curve. Prof. Lopez is one of the best professors in the Econ dept. He knows his stuff. He explains the theory and uses real-world examples to show economic concepts. This class was helpful in preparing for the job market. Loved class & would take again.

He's a tough grader, but if you want to learn economics he's the best. He encourages his students to study and ask questions. 4 exams and no final or midterm. I took him during summer and we did exams with honorlock. during regular sessions (Fall-Spring) exams are in class with LockDown. H/w is on Pearson.

Is he tough? Yes. Will he make you work for your grade? Sure. Does he care about his students success and well-being both in and out of class? Absolutely! As someone who suffers from health conditions that limit me a lot, he has always been compassionate and helpful always going out of the way to respect my rights and ensure my personal success.

Prof. Lopez is the best teacher I have ever had. He creates his own lectures using his own notes and actually talks to you about the current situations happening instead of reading a 4-year old book. Sure his class has 3 tests that carry most of the weight but if you just pay attention in class and ask questions if you're lost, you will pass.

He was honestly not that bad. I had him over this past Summer B and he did all he could to teach us the information in the short 6 weeks he had. His grades were very test heavy, but he allows us to have flashcards to have any information on it. Attendance wise, it's not really mandatory, but it will definitely help your grade to show up.

I actually felt like I learned in this class, definitely on the difficult side, but I came back to write this review because I felt way more prepared than my peers that took different professors. Thanks prof. lopez
