Knowledgeable & friendly; fair marker; average exams

Good prof that gives good lectures. Tough exams though.

Fairly good prof. Not the easiest you'll see. "B" mark or more is achievable.

He's exam is pretty fair. He's lecture is clear. He's very helpful.

Very helpful! Very nice! Just too many assignments.

One of the better profs in the ECON department. 314 was a hard class, but I learned a lot. I love his teaching method. His notes and lectures are so clear, while assignments and test challenge what you know. 333 was easier, but same comments above apply.

fair prof, easy course.

Good teacher with clear and concise power point lecture notes - also available online). Good at explaining concepts and the exams were pretty fair

he's pretty good considering the course is just an intro to economics. The textbook ofcourse offers all the relavent information and they don't give you any extra information in the lectures.... they just clarify what's already specified in the text. This makes going to class unnessasary, and I th

I love lamp.

profound econometric prof, willing to help students. useful assignments, but you have to attend classes.

Best metrics prof in the dept. Perhaps he's not great for 104 but he's excellent in the upper level classes.

Totally acceptable for upper-level classes (his detailed approach is excellent), but infamously bad for 104 (assumes students have prior knowledge and is thus incomprehensible to them).

My fave! He gets right to the point in lecture. His assignments are directly on the lecture, and his tests are lifted from the assignments. Go the office hours having made an real effort on the assignment and he will walk you through the rest. Make the effort and you will get an A. Such a nice guy too!

He is very helpful and he is really into the course he is teaching. It is an honour to have such a clear, concise, easy professor.If there is any other senior course he will teach, I will definitely take it.

He is always helpful. He might not look that attactive but he is definitely a good dedicated teacher! People might not like him because of ECON104 but he is a really awesome teacher for senior courses. His explanation is awesome after you learned the basics.

He talks like a radio announcer, but reiterates everything over and over again in different words, which was annoying at first but really ensured we had a firm grasp on the material. Write down the iClicker questions, they're used on the midterms.

Some people here complain about him and I was not looking forward to taking his class. I guess no everybody finds the class the same, but I thought that steward is a great prof. Its dead easy to get 100% in econ 204 with him, just do you assignments and you'll ace the exams. Going to class is extremely important. Missing a class is detrimental.

His lectures can be boring at times, but he is great at explaining concepts in a simple manner. He is always willing to help outside of class time, even outside of office hours. If you put in a decent effort, you will do well in his class.

Did his best to make a dry class entertaining. It was still very boring, but if you do the assignments well and pay attention in class (especially to the iClicker questions) you can get a very high mark. Textbook was useless, but his midterms and final were more than fair.

Great Prof! Work at the assignments and write down the clicker questions and you'll get an A or B. Midterms use the exact clicker questions and use the same concepts as the assignments. Teaches and reteaches the material well so you really understand. Great during office hours, really helps and pretty much gives you the answers. Recommended!

good prof. good explanation. like to help students outside the class. easy assignment and mid term. remember to write down all the i-cliker questions. it will help you do well on your midterm.

Very helpful prof. Very clear and concise when explaining concepts. easy to approach after class or in office hours. I would take any other class he has to offer. Very easy to get and A or B

I am surprised how low Mr. Stewarts rating are here. He is probably one of the best professors I had at uvic so far. He is very approachable and friendly. He would answer any of my questions even when it wasn't his office hours. His door was usually always open to help even 5 minutes before the assignments were due. Excellent person.

The clicker questions are important and helpful. Assignments are dead easy if you go to class, and questions of similar format will also appear on exams. In comparison to class notes, textbook was only mildly useful. Dr. Stewart is a very friendly, approachable and helpful prof. Final was harder than the midterms, though. Great prof!

He likes to repeat material and keeps the pacing slow, which is great for things a little tougher than first year econ. No surprises on tests--if you go to class and do the assignments, you'll get a very nice grade. Does a very good job of linking concepts together, which helped my understanding of the material. Wish he had taught 365 as well...

I have taken 3 courses in total with Dr. Stewart. While I wasn't a huge fan in the beginning, by the end of my degree he was one of my favorite profs. Yes, his classes can be difficult and time consuming, but if you put forth the effort he expects you will do fine. Exams and assignments follow his textbook closely.

Yes, he does have an odd way of speaking with the over-enunciation, but if you attend classes and tutorials, and do readings, there is no way that you can do poorly. No curve balls. He helps a lot. If you don't take school or the material seriously, you will do poorly. It wasn't a gruelling course, but without effort, you will fail.

Hi is an awesome prof. i learned alot in this class. his assignments are easy but mid terms are way tough, if you come to class and understand you will do good. make sure you do good on iclicker questions and assignments overall you will score a good grade. make sure you are ready for surprises.

Dr. Stewart may initially come off as monotone or "boring", but he is an awesome proff! I learned so much in his class and his style of teaching is great! He has weekly labhomework assignments that help alot and although his tests are hard, they are fair.. just a little bit too long for my liking, very hard to finish. Other then that It was great!

Nice pro. Course material is hard, but test in easy way. Assignments are not hard at all. Although his voice makes me sleepy, this is not a big problem after several classes.

Ken does not deserve the hate he gets on here. I did not have him for first year Econ but took his Econ 333 and Econ 468 classes. I thought he was very good at explaining the concepts and helpful answering questions. There were weekly assignments, which were annoying at times but were useful in understanding the material better. NO phones in class

Most people misunderstand Prof Ken Stewart. He is a decent person and designs his course delivery mostly centring his assignments. His delivery isn't quite attractive and his written communication can be quite verbose as well, so it is best to get used to his way of communication to do good in his tests. Just do the assignments & read the chapters.

I don't know how Professor Stewart is rated so bad. I had him in Econ 204 and I thought he was great. His handouts are hard, but if you go to class he goes over them and helps you. His iclicker questions aren't hard and you need to write them down because he tests on them. Literally just go to class and you'll get a B for sure.

Course is not bad, stewart assigns weekly assignments that will prepare you for midterms and final, and the iclicker questions are also used on the tests and finals, so study up on those. Plus he's super cute and has a nice voice

Stewart is my favorite guy in the world. He is so accessible after class and in his office hours. He knows a lot and wants you to do well. His assignment are difficult and take a couple hours, but they are doable. His exams are really hard and he warns you that he will pull anything from his classes. I don't even care I think he is a great guy
