Hella professor. Show up to class if you want to be entertained and actually learn the material in an understandable way. He curves the midterms and finals so that the class average is 75%. Hard not to pass, a little challenging to get an A. Easily accessible outside of class.

Kyle is a 10/10 prof! His lectures are very easy to follow and very interesting, but you have to pay attention for the entire class period or else you get lost. Econ is a very complex subject but he simplifies it. He does curse and sometimes makes a lot of jokes so if you're looking for a strictly business prof he may not be the best choice for you

Kyle is such a great professor and he understands how hard it may be to grasp the subject of Economics and he is willing to help outside of class. Also he makes the lecture extremely entertaining with his passion and jokes. The midterm and final are worth 60% of your grade so you should study but the rest is homework and they are easy points.

Kyle Hampton is truly an incredible professor. If you have the opportunity to take him, TAKE HIM. Lectures are amazing, he is so funny, and he will make you love Economics (maybe even switch to it). He truly wants you to succeed and help you outside of class, whether it be advice or a mind-blowing conversation. Hands down the best professor here!!

Overall his class was informative. However for me it was hard to follow at most times because he would jump from a topic to a real life scenario. In general his test were hard but if you study you will do fine. He is very funny and passionate about economics. Definitely take him you haven't learned Economics if you haven't taken it with Kyle.

Amazing Professor. Econ is hard. Hampton's lectures really simplify and help you walk through concepts. He makes it an interesting subject to learn about by using hilarious examples. All exams are open notes, but make sure to study as the notes only get you so far. One writing assignment. Take this class with Hampton!!!

Most inspirational and fun professor. Great professor to have in your freshman year, especially. He genuinely cares about his students and is so great to talk to. It was really refreshing having a professor like him! His lectures always leave you thinking about life and current issues in the world. The course I took (The Righteous Mind) was amazing

TAKE THIS CLASS! This was the only lecture I would attend every day of the week. Kyle makes it so engaging from the moment you step into the room, blasting house music then telling us crazy stories, it's an unforgettable experience. Participate in class and answer his questions! 2 exams for your grade so you have to be confident in the material.

Kyle is an amazing professor, I would definitely recommend taking his class if it's available. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you pay attention during all of his lectures and do the reading, the class should be pretty easy to pass. The reading isn't too bad, just one short chapter a week and homework that you can easily get 100% on.

Professor Hampton was an amazing economics professor. I learned a lot from his lectures because they all involved real-life examples that college students would understand. It is suggested to read the textbook before class to understand the lectures. You are graded on one writing assignment, hwk, midterm, and final. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!!

Kyle's Econ215 was entertaining and very off-topic most of the time. The tests were tough because he didn't really teach, they were open note but that didn't really help.

The class is alright, but you will not get the best grade unless you know a ton about econ. I disliked the class, all he did was go on rants and never actually taught anything. I didn't feel like I learned anything, & I studied hard to pass, only for him to laugh when bombing the exam; he likes to see you fail imo. Something is disturbing about him

Definitely the most unique professor I have ever had. His lectures are optional and often consist of stories that may or may not be related to economics. Most importantly... do every homework on time (unlike me). Not doing the homeworks is what got me a C. If you do all the homeworks on time, and you do just OK on the tests, you will get a B.

Literally the worst possible teacher on campus. 99% of the time he rambles and goes on rants about random things that don't correlate to economics & does karaoke instead of teach (sounds fun until you get to the exams). He knows what he's doing wrong, but he admitted in class that he doesn't care to change his ways. Don't take any of his classes.

BUT, if ur a STEM MAJOR just like me who doesn't know anything abt econ or business, I don't recommend him. He often goes on side tangents, which are important matters, but he doesn't prepare you well enough for the tests, even though they are open-note.
