Professor Webb is the best professor that I have ever had. I have had him for several classes and he teaches clearly, is easy to talk to, and makes class fun. In a major that has lot's of potential for boardom, he makes things interesting. In a school that has a tendency to have zealot teachers, he is different, and fun.

In class this guy is awesome. Outside of class, he seems a little rude and made him a little uncomfortable to be around. He also has zero mercy if you make a mistake. (For example, doing worksheets 1 and 2 instead of homework 1 and 2 without him ever telling you that there is a difference.)

This class was a lot of work. Bro Webb is a nice guy but expects us to understand politics. He grades on participation which if you don't understand certain concepts it can be a struggle to participate. Two quizzes a week, one posted at 6:30 in the morning and the other in the testing center. This class takes work for a good grade.

There is an early morning quiz once a week at 6:30 AM which sucks... Find a good group to work with and the class'll be a breeze!

You NEED to take the pre-lecture Quizzes at 6:30am. Most of the time he wouldn't explain the syllabus on a daily basis, which killed me a couple of times (grade wise). He is funny, But I wouldn't laugh if he did stand up. Overall I would recommend him with the condition that there is an essay test every week.

Each week, he assigns a 6:30 a.m. online pre-reading quiz on one day of class, and on the second day of class that week, we have a small, short-answer exam. They are easy as long as you do the reading, and listen in class. The upside to all that work during the week is that he doesn't have an any additional tests or a final exam.

This class was worthless. I went in expecting to learn something other than his opinion. I got a huge shock after the first couple weeks of class since he had so many positive comments on this website. I think it's simply because he has a decent sense of humor. If you disagree with him or fail to conform to his opinion, it's difficult to do well.

Likely to say one of the worst professors I've ever had. He has good content and ability, but it comes corrupted at a terrible cost. His arrogance and lack of concern for straight facts and logic jepordize his credibility. His priority is with his opinion and appearance and if it seems intelligent rather than to enlighten and assist his students.

He likes to play the guessing game alot which makes class kind of lame. He doesnt have a firm teaching style. Likes to make sure that you understand how much you don't know about the subject and has this arrogance about him. He has a ton of experience working with the FED but it doesn't make him a good teacher. So much experience but a poor teacher

Class is hard because quizzes and tests count for probably 85% of your grade. There is no homework, but that can kill your grade because there are only three tests including the final.
