I take this class online. Homework always due Thursday. I like this class so far but the thing that I HATE about this PROFESSOR is all the exams only 1 hrs for 50 questions. If he doesn't like your discussion post then no partial point at all.

I am not the best performing student in class but he is EXTREMELY a supportive person. I like how he challenges us to think critically. I enjoy his class a lot and he is also VERY empathetic.

pro: gets most work back to in week you can actually apply the stuff in class to life he knows his stuff con: can get scatterbrained doesnt go over old content often so you miss alot when you skip class basic math stuff(exponential growth) is key in this class. just write down your formulas on a notecard and review material. attendance is random

Amazing professor!! I took his micro class last semester and he is the absolute best! He will make sure the students understand the concept and he is always accessible after class or in office hours! He listen to his class and make sure the class is doing well!

By far my least favorite professor. You don't learn anything in his clas. Tells you "Google It' when you ask about what he just taught. He makes you do super long assignments each week that don't teach you anything except how to beat a deadline. Best advice: study hard for your tests and pray you don't fail.

Lots of homework

Professor Rebeck is an amazing professor who explains very difficult concepts incredibly well. I don't think I would have nearly as well in this course without his well-integrated lectures and amazing review sections. If you take ECON206, take it with him.

Requires in-person exams, only grades off stat lab and exams so start studying for the exams. Otherwise, don't take him, acts like there's not enough time to explain concepts also comes off as rude. doesn't record review sessions. The only reason I got a bad grade was because of the in-person exams kinda odd for being in the middle of covid.

He did give a lot of work and makes you write the class notes but trust me the notes pay off. Got an A because I made those notes and went through them a day before test. He is extremely nice and if you're doing good in class, he will let you turn in assignment/test late if you have a good reason.

I took this as an online class but the professor seems nice. You have to take notes on lecture videos each week and do my lab. There are three tests that are worth 100 points each so you have to do well on them to do well in class.

He is one of the best professors in the Econ department! Learned a lot! His class was challenging but he's a great instructor. I would recommend taking a class with him if you aren't afraid of putting your econ skills to test.

You watched videos based on the textbook and turned in notes every week for points. One weekly assignment on Pearson. There were 3 quizzes/tests that make up most of your grade. For online, tests were proctored so make sure you have a computer or device that has a camera.

Doesnt post the lectures online is attendance is basically mandatory. Most of your grade is from 4 tests. The material is not difficult, and the professor does a good job explaining what is covered on the test.

His lectures are, by far, some of the best and most detailed lectures that I've ever watched. Weekly work was simple and easily fit into a routine. He's a bit of a stickler for tests(since there weren't many), but his policies are pretty fair comparatively. Overall, a pretty nice professor who teaches amazing asynchronous classes!

I really like the way Prof. Rebeck has you print out the templates for lecture notes before hand. It makes writing notes so much easier and more clear with all the graphs. The class had mylabs due every couple weeks and in class assignments most class periods. There are 5 exams, but you can use a notecard. He drops your worst exam grade.

Don't take class online. You spend about 1 and a half hours a week on the required notes(will give you a 0 if you miss a point on a single graph) and the homework. 3 tests (30 minutes each), but worth 67% of your grade total.

I took this class (Micro Econ) online as a high schooler without taking any prior Econ classes. His lectures were very clear and I never had to read the book. The only thing that made it hard was the very few quizzes which mean you have to do well on each of them, but as long as you take good notes and look over the homework you will be fine.

At first seemed very harsh on how to submit lecture notes but he does exactly what he says. About an hour of very helpful and good lectures each week and then around 20 MyLab HW questions. There are textbook pages to read but I never read them once and got an A. Overall very manageable and predictable class. Same routine each week.

I took microeconomics online with Kenneth Rebeck. The exceptions were clear and concise. The only negative was the quizzes. There are three quizzes worth about 67% of the overall grade and they are timed for only 30 minutes for 20 questions. All of the questions come from his lecture, but the tricky part is fully memorizing 4 units of lectures.

This class requires a lot of weekly work, but the tests are worth most of the grade. Using Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook can really help prepare for the quizzes. Take it in-person if possible, as the online version has strict proctoring requirements.

Don't take this class online if you get test anxiety! I've been struggling in this class and the professor is great, but the rules for taking a test are super strict. You must have your camera on and if you look away from the screen too much, you get points docked off. You also have to take a full set of notes every week and turn them in digitally.

Lockdown tests that he personally watches over, if you look away from your screen at all, you will be required to come in person for testing. Notes you write need to look exactly like his slides, otherwise you will get docked ponts. Not overly personable. Difficult but not impossible, you will need to study!
