All he had working against him were the 4 hour class periods, cold classroom, and his sometimes hard to understand accent. Other than that he knows what he's talking about (sometimes assumes you will too...) and will explain anything for you if you just take the effort to ask. I'd take him again.

Tests are very hard and often include stuff neither in the notes nor in the book. Gives you alot of graphs and does not explain them well at all. Will answer your questions when you ask and try to help but is often very unclear in doing so. Classes are 4 hours long and is not very good at keeping the class interested, often find myself dozing off

Despite his accent, his speech is understandable and lessons easy to follow. He does a decent job of engaging the students, and is not without a sense of humor. My biggest complaint is his unbelievably conservative, quasi-Libertarian bias that he quite blatantly shoves down your throat. To be fair, however, students are free to argue with him.

He takes advantage of every minute, he is not there to take the rest of the time off. He will spend time with you if you need it and he sends the exam review package. WILL DO BAD IF U MISS CLASS.

He is a little hard to hear, but he tells you everything you need to know for the test and he teaches high level economics, but that level isn't tested, so you get to lay back and really learn economics.

When you take virtual classes. You will get an A in Eco 201, and 202 classes. No homework, but you will get an A (I took his classes by Zoom)

You literally just have to show up to class and write everything down from the board because he makes his tests directly from the notes and the quizzes on Canvas. Even though the test average would be pretty bad, he gives out so many extra credit opportunities that would bump you from a C to A. So many people ended the class with above 100%!

Professor has a heavy accent but the lectures cover the material well. Tests focus heavily on quizzes and extra credit - using unstuckstudy ai and reviewing lecture notes is key. Attendance is mandatory but not much outside work required.

Not great. I think most of the 5 star reviews are from people in his online classes where it seems very easy to cheat. In person he is very difficult to understand between his speech impediment and accent. His tests are based solely on his lectures and they are all paper/pencil. You will be scolded for using the restroom, and no makeups on anything

100% a tough grader. I would highly recommend sitting up in the front of the class to hear him clearly. This was a lecture heavy class and the reading is highly recommended for the in class assignments. Overall a decent professor but he could pay a bit more attention to explaining the material a bit better.

This professor was terrible—only two insanely hard exams, a useless “study guide,” which didn't help at all and a heavy accent that made lectures even harder to follow. He made no real effort to help or explain anything, and it felt like he didn't care if students passed. Do not recommend.

I was fortunate enough to walk away with a passing grade. His class requires you to take notes by hand as he doesn't post notes online. You could always use the textbook for the class but the in class assignments were always from the lectures in class. Not a fan of having two exams make up the entire grade, seemed a bit unfair imo.

Easiest professor ever! he is a really good teacher who knows a lot about what he teaches. His classes are lecture heavy, so prepare to take notes on PAPER. He allows students to bring ALL their notes to exams and graded in class assignments. Exams are pretty easy if you follow along and bring notes. He rewards participation with extra points

6 chapter quizzes and two exams. If you took AP Macro in high school but either did not take the exam, or receive credit, go ahead and take this class because it is a breeze compared to AP. Just be ready to take notes and listen to lectures, also read the textbook too.
