One of the coolest teachers I've had. Makes himself very available to help, tests are straightforward, right off the homework and lectures. He wants you to do well. Tests are usually 3-4 problems, written. He makes a few jokes to lighten the mood in class. Good class!

Great teacher. Take notes during class. Sometimes he talks too fast during lecture and erase the board too fast. But if you go to him for help, he'll always help/explain with patient no matter what. Practice hw questions and know how to do them very well you'll do good on test. His lectures are right off the book

He is very clear and every question on the test comes straight from notes and hw. Great teacher, very available for questions and really wants to see every student pass.

Prof Howard is a good instructor, he expects you to keep up with the mathematics behind it. he skips a lot of steps and goes fast, but he explains well if you keep up. DO NOT slack in this class, attend ALL classes & use his office hours. He's extremely helpful. ECON majors, take. BUSINESS majors, think twice. Take econ 315, easier on yourself.

The guy seems new (office placement on the 3rd floor is based on seniority, I believe) so he's in that phase where he cares a little too much what students think. However, the guy is more than fair and knowledgeable, and will really improve with time. He's very approachable and CSUF students are lucky to have him.

Prof Howard was one of my favorite teachers. His lectures were clear but the classes he teaches are hard so if you just want a good grade for nothing don't take his class. students that didn't like him are just bitter that they didn't do well and if you have trouble with econ, math or basic logic then take something else.

if you're an econ major, take him. if not, avoid. his exams are tough, but they are almost exactly like the homework, but a bit trickier. an ex would be if a x b = c, then if a x _ = c, what is b? you must know every aspect of the hw. i'd take him again. is willing to help in office, even though he may seem stand-offish.

Really easy professor, Exams are easy along with the homework, he's a real easy going guy that encourages questions, 2 midterms, 5 homework assignments and some quizzes so as long as you read the book you should pass the class with an A.

was a very interesting class, despite the name. the professor is very straight forward, homework is 30% of your grade and most of the test questions are from the homework. he explains the material very well.

he is a really nice guy he lets you buy the old edition of the book, which honestly you dont need everything is on the syllabus, he has 2 midterms, one is dropped, a comprehensive final and quizzes his exams and homework follow his lectures. go to class because his lectures are very clear and really all you need. a really great professor!! TAKE HI

Tests based on lecture. Book is a MUST get for supplemental if you want the A. Not the easiest professor (at least at higher levels), but definitely the straightforward, no games type. You know what to expect, despite a hard grading scale. Interesting 400-level elective, covering pollution, healthcare, social security, etc.

Great Prof. very nice and helpful. Not a easy subject but he makes it very clear to understand. Definitely recommend him.

Ver good prfoessor. knows what hes talking about. as long as you go through his powerpoints and do the homework (only 5) you will do well on quizzes(best 7of8) and midterms (lowest of 2 is dropped). attendance is not mandatory

Straightforward teacher, tests heavily on economic intuition, uses easy numbers to work with to teach the math. One of the best overall econ teachers at any level.

Amazing professor! Very nice and easy to understand. Uses great real life examples. The quizzes and homework are super easy but the final is very difficult. I really learned a lot. Just don't talk in class.

He teaches well and give lucid examples by using power point. once you decided to take his class, you don't need to buy textbook. He only uses power point and it covers everything in the exams. Most of all, studying by yourself with power point will do to be prepared to take exams.

Clear teacher. Dry sarcastic humor. Class is tough, but Howard makes it easy to understand material and teaches you what you need to know to go to next level. Out of all the econ 201 teacher's, he's one of the better choices in the bunch. You'll have to put in the studying and if you have questions, he's more then willing to help. Recommended.

All of his homeworks, quizzes, and tests were VERY consistent. Test were 25 questions straight from homework and quizzes. This made it very easy when studying. Attendance not mandatory. Overall good professor, explains concepts really clearly.

He knows what he's talking about. Only 5 homework assignments that you can do as many times as you want, 8 quizzes (open notes), 2 midterms, & a final. Midterms are like the quizzes and homework, the final is hard if you don't study. He never shows you your grade but you can try asking him. I thought I got at least a C but ended up with an F...

Easily the best economics professor I've ever had. I took Advanced Microeconomics with him (which, as any of you econ grad students will affirm, is anything but easy) and had a blast. He is able to explain EVERYTHING and answer any question you throw at him. Extremely knowledgeable about his field, and makes it fun to learn the material.

This should be easy to pass, but you will not pass if you screw up on the paper. I received B's and A's on everything throughout the entire course, but failed the paper because I misunderstood the instructions. Therefore, I got a (non-passing) C- in the course. Ask for clarification on the paper!!

Very clear and easy to understand. Gives the best lectures and is willing to stay after class to answer questions. Read the book before class to get the most out of his powerpoint lectures. Also, check out his wrist. Awesome tattoo.

Amazing professor. I never took an Economics class before so I did not know what to expect. He really knows his subject and if you ask for help, he will help you without making you feel stupid. Expect 2 midterms, a final, 5 hw assignment and the participating points from the RTF cards. A really fun class, take it!

He made learning Econ very interesting and enjoyable. Has 2 midterms (drops lowest) and a cumulative final. He is always willing to help via email, office hours, and after lecture. He posts his powerpoints online. I found that the text complimented his lectures if you read them ahead of time. I would recommend him to anyone that needs to take this

Excellent professor. He is very friendly and easy to approach if you have questions. Also, makes class extremely easy to pass. 2 midterms, 5 homeworks, 3 essays, in class quizzes, and a final. Drops lowest midterm and essay. Homework is online and has infinite attempts.Makes the class easy without taking away how much you learn. Highly recommended.

TAKE!!! He has 3 writing assignments, but drops one. 2 midterms and drops one. GREAT teacher! (just don't take a laptop to his class). Very clear, always willing to help. Attendance is not mandatory, but he has clickers that give you points.

AWESOME TEACHER! I highly recommend him. He made econ so much easier to understand. He is super helpful.

GREAT TEACHER!! He's fun and interesting. Super easy class and I wasn't an Econ major. He's very helpful in office hours. Attend the class take notes study and pass. Print the notes before hand. hardly used the book.

great professor. took this class with mummery and failed but howard is really passionate about econ and knows how to present situations to students and help them understand the concepts. take him if possible. i took it in the summer so there were 6 hws(3 modules, 3assignments), 2 midterms, 1 final. got a b+

Howard is awesome.He's a really great instructor. you DEF have to be in class - all his test material is in the book, but it won't make sense if you don't go to class. He has daily/weekly quizzes, but you know when they are and the material - def a + for a higher grade. all n all, great experience!

He's a really good professor, that makes the material easy to understand. TAKE HIM! This is not an easy class, you have to go to class to listen to his lectures, and do the assignment. If you do need help, go to his office hours, he is flexible

cool professor. He's definitely approachable, if you need anything. Textbook isn't really used in class because he bases his lectures off PowerPoint. Essay grading sucks because it is graded through "MyAccess". Exams are not that bad and neither is the final. The final is basically the first two exams with different #s and a few other Questions.

Classy is not very demanding. 3 papers (done online), 2 midterms, 1 final, and many in-class clicker questions (press a button on your clicker to answer the question). Teacher drops the lowest mid-term grade and the lowest online paper grade. You MUST buy the clicker you need for class, but you do not need to buy the textbook.

3 online papers (lowest grade dropped), 2 mid-terms (lowest grade dropped), 1 Cumulative Final. There are also 180 in-class questions that you answer with a clicker (this is basically your attendance grade). Attendance is 18% of grade. you MUST buy the clicker for class. you DO NOT need textbook. Buying it would be a waste.

Best teacher I've had so far. Don't really use the text book. His powerpoints are the main source of information for the 2 tests, couple HW's, and essays. Great guy and answers any questions you have kindly/respectfully

Great Professor. Homework prepares you for exams. Constantly redo homework and you should be fine

Prof Howard is one of the best professors I've had at Cal State Fullerton. He is one to help and really explain everything until you understand it. He wants people to pass and isn't the type to try and trick his students. He is young and understanding. I really enjoyed his class and his positive attitude.

Was a simple class, lectures are long but you leave early. Homework is your form of a study guide, use it for your tests. Great professor, would take him again!

Larry Howard is a great professor! He is passionate and cares for his students. I am currently enrolled in Econ 315 & Econ 335 and we are going over what was taught in Econ 201 so pay attention to his lectures as he explains the material the best way as possible. The hw is the study guide to the exams as you will see similar questions there.

Approachable. Ask for help, he won't make you feel dumb. Buy ebook comes with online access code and response card. Need those. Emphasizes more of the math than conceptual aspect on tests. 25Qs*4pts100pts. Didn't like . Final consists of recycled Qs. Posts PPTs online. Dismisses early sometimes. HW and papers freebies pts Recommend.

This is a 400 level class so don't expect it to be easy. Make sure to get the easy points by doing the homework. HW can be tough so don't wait until the last minute. He's a great professor if you ask for help. See him during office hours or after class when you need help. 2 midterms (lowest gets dropped), 3 HW assignments, and final is 50% of grade

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED. Even if Econ isn't your thing, he makes this class as easy as possible. 2 midterms, drops lower score. 3 writing assignments, also lowest score dropped. Lectures are fairly easy to follow though I highly recommend looking at the power point before class to get more out of lecture. OH are super helpful! Also very understanding

Prof. Howard is great. He is approachable & will definitely help you after class & during office hours. There are 2 midterms (lowest dropped), 3 HW and a final. The hw are very identical to the exams (the exams are short answers) This is by far my most favorite econ elective. You should also read the book and be prepared to write a lot. MUST TAKE!

Great professor! Clear explanations in class. Uses an online textbook, so you can skim that and use it to finish the homework. Goes over pretty much everything on the exams in class. HW is online, too. It's short, but helpful. He basically is looking to give out As. Grades based mostly on exams. HW not worth much, but helps with the exams.

Study the homework, pay attention in class. He isn't a tough guy and he wants you to pass. The tests are multiple choice, 2 midterms and a final made up of midterm questions. The homework is your ticket to a good grade.

Professor Howard is the most fair professor. What he teaches you is exactly what will be on the exams. It's a very straightforward class. Pay attention during lecture and practice the homework, and you'll have a solid grade in the class.

Highly recommended!!! Took over the sum, 2 midterms (drops lowest score), 1 final (Cumulative) online HW & learning modules (super easy) due b4 each test. This is a TOUGH class in general, but he makes it SO doable. Go to every class, take good notes, ask him questions & you'll do fine! He gives you all the exam questions b4 test... He's great!! :)

Great Professor. Definitely recommend. Knows his stuff and answers questions. Took the Summer Session course which may explain why he would rush through the exam reviews. If you attend class and you complete all of the homework and study modules, you'll do fine. Make sure to attend class for the in-class participation points. Overall great guy!

Took him over the summer. Show up to class, do the homework and study it because will be on tests, and do all the test prep and you will do fine. He will help you in any way. The class course was not tough. Highly recommend.

One of my fave profs at CSUF: helpful, knowledgeable, and amusing. Graded on 3 midterms (skip 1 w/o penalty) & 1 cumulative final, all written. Attendance optional but he gave insight into test questions during class. Read book & review questions as test questions are based off these. Discuss material with professor to articulate before exams.

Prof Howard is a great teacher. His concepts were easy to understand and he didn't require any hard math. My only complaint is that the class is made up solely of tests (exam style, not MC) and he is looking for specific wording/phrases in your answers or you will get half-credit at best. He did curve heavily at the end though!

Took him during the summer. Hectic 5 week course, but he made it SO manageable. GET HIM IF YOU CAN. He's straightforward and cares about his students.

Drops lowest exam. Do the hw and participate and youll be fine. He will help you and clarify on points you may not understand during office hours and after class and responds to emails ASAP. Hes passionate and very helpful and truly knows how to simplify things but expects you to work for it also. Would take him again. He made econ fun.

Solid choice for ECON 315. 2 midterms, 1 cumulative final; however, drops the lowest midterm grade. HW & in-class problems add a boost to grade. Be aware of the short-answer questions for the exams & go to office hours to make sure you're on the right track to get all points possible on exams. Good luck!

A very good professor. His intention is not to fail anyone, he just wants everyone to know the basic knowledge and apply it to the real world. Total 3 exams, you can skip one of them, the final is required and it will take 50%. Strongly recommend Larry Howard to everyone, you won't feel disappointed if you pay your efforts.

Pros: The class grading breakdown is clear and Professor Howard seems to really care about making sure the students understand the material. Cons: Way too many essay questions on the exams. If you email him for help on these he gives a really vague answer. My biggest criticism is that the final is worth almost HALF of your grade. - Take another IMO

He is an amazing teacher and wants people to pass. He has two exams & a final. With exams he takes the highest scoring one & drops the lowest scoring one. He has 25 MC & 10 short answer questions for every exam. His HW is very easy. He is very helpful but is kinda bad at replying to emails. Try your best to get him he is an easy A.

Took him in Spring '20 before transitioning online for ECON 315. There is a Participation Response Questions, two midterms, and a cumulative final. He drops the lowest one. There is 3 Hw Assignments and LearnSmart that is count part of your grade. Eventhough this course was challenging I learn a lot. Would Recommend taking him for 315.

He decided to make his class asynchronous. Econ is fairly easy for me, so this class may be hard for others. Just read 1 chapter a week and take notes, and then do hw after, which takes like 30 minutes at most. I barely studied for tests, went over my notes a couple of times and it wasn't that hard. Lots of video lectures if you need further help.

The moment you see him you know he cares for his students a lot. The material is set up to make sure you succeed even when I never attend any classes. The Hw is a bit difficult but the interactive videos boost your grade. The test are hard but if you know the material you should be good.

He made the class very flexible so we could work at our own pace. His videos and homeworks were enough to cover everything on the exam. This class was an easy A for me but I also learned a lot from him. The only thing is that the final was different than the midterms and I wasn't ready for it to be like that. But otherwise, he is an amazing prof.

The recorded lectures really helped. Pay attention to the questions he posts, they are similar to ones seen in the essay portion on exams. Do the HW! Gives you multiple attempts, the points from a few assignments can get you out of borderline grades. Reach out to him if you are struggling he will help.

Pretty easy class. MC in midterms are copied directly from homework questions and also gives answers to free response a week before exam. Study both and you'll be golden for midterms.

Howard is intelligent and super helpful. I'm not gonna lie, this graduate class is HARD, but he will tell you exactly what you need to know for the exam, so it's on you to pay attention and study. I like how it's not multiple choice so I can freely explain all the knowledge I know, and he'll give as many points as possible for trying.

He cares that you understand. 2 midterms, 2 parts each. Multiple choice+written. Choice is based off HW and he provides practice for written which are the same or close to it. Final is accumulative but based on first two exams and last chs.He hands back exams so you can review and ask questions. No projects. Questions for points during lectures.

I got a D+ but this prof is amazing. Econ is a tough subject but if you buckle down and put in the time your grade will reflect. I did not ask enough questions or fully understand certain concepts so I was basically left behind 100% would take again

Lectures can be a little boring so it's important to pay attention, suggest reading the book after lectures because the lectures won't be enough. 3 exams all online and fairly easy. He also wants people to ask questions in class to further understand the material and very accessible through email. He's very kind and overall a very good professor!

Great professor!! I'm personally not an economics type person but Professor Howard made the subject interesting. He points out what is truly necessary to know & gives excellent examples to support the material. The 3 exams weren't too bad but you do have to study hard. There is 1 individual assignment which was insightful. Take him if you can!

A bit dry when lecturing but does a great job explaining things and provides ample help when needed. Overall, a great professor.

Never studied until the final and I got an A in the class. The midterms are online with a mix of multiple choice, making graphs, and fill-ins. The final was 30 questions multiple choice and in person. Probably one of the best professors you can take for microeconomics

Show up to class, do the homework, ask questions. it's not a hard class if you put in that effort - don't rely too much on how easy the midterms are (online asynchronous non-proctored midterms) because the final is harder. good class though!

Professor Howard was a very lenient and laidback professor who just came to class and told you what you needed to know and I appreciate that. The midterms are harder than the final exam but just do the chapter activities and homework and you'll do fine. There is one writing assignment that is super easy and not heavily graded but you can revise.

You will need to come to class because you have to answer questions in class. If not your grade falls. Not by any means a hard class, and he will help you should you ask for it.

This class was fairly easy. The slides were clear and easy to understand and there would be in class questions that count as part of your grade that help with your understanding of the topic. 1 homework assignment per chapter which are very similar to the test questions. Professor Howard didn't as for much just pay attention and you can get an A.

3 exams (asyc & not proctored), 1 final (in person), 4 hw, & LC assignments. He tries his best to simplify economics for the class & is easy to reach out to! Uses pointsolutions to gather your attendance & if you miss a few your grade can drop, but can attend via home using electronic! Can be a bit boring, but overall easy to understand!

Wonderful introductory economics course. Larry Howard has a strong understanding of microeconomics, and he is only there to help you understand as well. His lectures are awesome, as he will provide depth into much of the material. There are three tests and one cumulative final, with homework assignments here and there. Overall, awesome professor.

He is very lecture heavy but attendance isn't mandatory. You should try attending though for the PointSolutions points they're a big part of your grade. All exams are online non proctored and doable; final is cumulative, in person, and is multiple choice. Overall a solid professor with a fair amount of work.

Must purchase TB & PointSolutions for hw + participation. More optional sessions than the average class, flexible with participation. Provides all the slides/resources u need. Online hw is similar to exams. 3 async midterms, 1 in-person mcq final, & 1 writing assignment. Decent lectures & good introductory course.

Easy class. 3 online midterms, in person final. Homework is simple & can be attempted multiple times to get 100%. In class, there's questions you need to answer (thru an app/website) so although attendance isn't required, u shouldn't miss too many classes. He's fairly boring in lectures but is a supportive prof w/ many resources available

4 exam- 3 online midterms (1 dropped) w/ in person final HW is simple &w/ unlimited attempts to get 100%; In class attendance matters, but isn't required (grades thru website) &missing too many classes = grade dropping. Lecture is boring, but he tries his best & is helpful outside of class. Exams are non-proctored & async w/ it being similar to HW

Professor Howard is very straightforward. Do the work and you'll pass the class. There are 3 online midterms and a cumulative final. His lectures are standard, but participation matters. He will help you outside of class if you ask.

He seems scary and is strict about talking, but he is accessible outside of class. His lectures are boring but very important and if you pay attention and answer the point solutions you are guaranteed to pass the class. 3 exams online but the final is cumulative in person so try to pay attention so you're not cramming. required homework but easy.

He was a straight forward guy, he was nice when I asked questions after class so don't be afraid to ask questions. Everything is online except for the final, the participation was online as well. Super easy to pass just have to study and know what your doing.

Professor Howard's ECON201 class is a straightforward introductory economics course. The lectures can be a bit dry, but he's knowledgeable and willing to help. The workload is manageable - 3 online midterms, an in-person final, and some homework. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for exam prep.

His passion for economics is very admirable. Easy class, a lot of common sense stuff. Make sure to read syllabus thoroughly and get PointSolutions set up before the first class. All HW & assignments are easy to get full credit on. Final is accumulative and in person, the other midterms are online. Very convenient class I recommend for anyone.

Easiest Econ professor at CSUF. Smart, passionate, humble, and very fair.

Chill guy. Read the textbook it will make sense with his PowerPoints. I mean tests weren't bad. Very generous guy and respect him for that. Kind of gives off the Mr small vibe from amazing world of gumball. talk to him it wont be bad.
