Very knowledgeable of material. Helpful and fair.

anyone who can't pass this class shouldn't be in college. Curve is Huge

exremely obsessed with his book and attendance.. hes a fair teacher..

Easy A from curve. 5 words: Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Puts class material on tests that isn't in books...rec. go to class

BEWARE-- 100 level, but not easy. Tests are hard but nice curve.

His tests are easy and he tries to make class fun! Go to class though!!

Tougher than you think, but tests are curved. Go to class and do the reading.

boring class & books, but if you go & read the book, you easily get an A!

Looks like Rick Moranis and his class is as entertaining as watching grass grow

Great course, great professor. A+

enthusiastic about econ. good teacher who wants you to understand basic econ.

Seidman is a great teacher, I wish I had him for every class

dull class, great professor - VERY helpful!! do the readings, study old tests

Best econ teahcer I had - good guy, tries to make the material interesting.

Good class to catch up on sleep, his book is a big help

Seidman is the best prof I've had period. He knows his stuff and is very funny

Best professor ever!! Take any class with Seidman, pay attention=A

I had him in the fall and went to his class in the spring because i missed him!

What a nice dude! Class is as exciting as a **** in a dildo shop. But an easy A-

Awesome class, great prof. gave me a 2 week extention on a paper! fair grader

Tries to make jokes, fair tests, not too hard, likes his book a lot...read it =)

such a cute guy! class can be boring, but go and bring a magazine

It was annoying to have homewrok every night.

great teacher; he wants you to do well and understand

not too bad, always makes jokes, do the HW, sort of unorganized, study book

The man tries, very fair, almost funny, study for tests and you'll be fine

Homework is annoying, but easy; study old exams + notes and you'll be fine

funny, homework is annoying, required attendance, class=naptime

Very felixble, wants students to succeed, you'll learn if you want to.

truly awesome, you can get a good grade if youre bad in econ, really helpful

take notes, read old quizzes and exam, do HW, amazing curve, EASY A

Really nice guy,easy B...great curve, study old tests

Very smart, very clever, very witty, and very committed to teaching you economics.

One of the best and easiest classes ive had here. very helpful tries to be funny and tests are a breeze study old exams. Great prof take him!

Very easy study old exams. Great prof good at explaining things good at keeping your attention. Dont even buy the book.

knows his ****...gotta memorize the old exams and the notes from class..pretty easy. I think more than 50% of the kids probly got a's and b's Attendence is aggravating.

Seidman is hilarious, and a great professor. You feel like you ready for the FED (as he would say) after you take his intermediate Macro course

Great guy. Responsive in office and thru email. Essentially recycles old exams. You <i>should</i> buy the book for doing homework. Must go to every lecture. Good natured humor. Recommended.

He is the best teacher i've had so far. I actually enjoy going to class. He is a great teacher, prepares you for all tests, and provides a clear understanding of the subject. He also has a pretty funny sense of humor!

Seidman is the best econ prof I've had so far. Lectures were clear and interesting, homework was graded based on whether or not you turned it in, and exams were a breeze. Just remember to study the old exams answer keys verbatim.

AMAZING teacher! He really cares about the students and makes funny comments in class. Definitely take his class!!! The workload is manageable and the reading is not heavy.

Treats the class like we don't know anything at times and at other times teaches like we know everything. Knows his stuff, but tests are pretty tricky. He is a cross between rick moranis and the dad from happy days.

great professor. econ 100 is not the easiest class but he keeps it interesting and not impossible. do the homework assignments, its not much and it makes the lectures so much more interesting. study old tests, theyre not THAT bad... i had no interest in econ before this class and now i love it! :-)

SEIDMAN IS AMAZING!! He is very fair, explains things very clearly, and takes immense care to show both sides of every story, although it is clear what his opinions are... yay for one of the only liberals in the Econ department! Take a class with him. He is so passionate about what he teaches.

one of the best teachers at ud hands down. glad i took this class with him as the teacher. very knowledgable. huge liberal when it comes to econmomic issues. funny jokes.

He is definitely a nice guy who puts dumb humor into class which made econ tolerable. Before all the exams, he gives you the exam from last year, even the final and most of the time, the questions are 90% the same! Hes definitely a fair grader too and always gives curves. TAKE HIS CLASS if you have to take Econ 100.

pretty straight-foward class... lectures can get a bit boring but he always seems to crack a joke... attendance is incorporated in the grade.. lots of work but helps if you're not a good test taker... last years exams help a lot when he gives them out... i'd defintely recommend this as an econ course.. i'm not a fan of econ and got an A-

Lots of great real world info in this class, but almost too much info to learn in one semester. Daily homework assignments and 3 tests(he gives out copies of previous years tests). Tests are very long, take entire class period and then some. Good teacher and interesting class, but you have to work to get an A. Good class for the math challenged.

Seidman's a really good guy. He is really helpful in office hours. In class, he really tries to get people involved, ask us questions and when we answer we always had to say our name first. One time in class he sang "Taxman" by the Beatles, HILARIOUS. Tests are hard and long though, everyone in the class didnt finish till the very end.

Seidman has the cheesiest but most hilarious humor. Any professor that can make me crack a smile in a 400-level Economics class, gets an A in my book. The tests are challenging - not the material but the time constraint. He gives out old exams to study from, which really helps. He genuinely loves what he teaches and will always help students.

He is very nice and helpful and really wants to see students involved even though people rarely participate. Very good at explaining the subject. Tests are VERY long, kind of hard and cover EVERYTHING thats been discussed. Hw due every class that is easy but annoying to do. Information is boring but not terrible.

Awsome professor. Had him for 2 courses. Classes are straight forward and he prepares you very well for exams. Exams can be long but are very reasonable. Go to class he gives you an A+ for hw/attendance. HW is pass/fail if you do it you get an A. Book is pretty useful if you fall behind or get lost. One of best Econ professors in the department!

preaches his opinions but warns us they're his opinions. Thinks he's a big hotshot economist but really isn't (though he did appear on C-Span once). Gives old exams, so practice those and anticipate the same question the other way (something increases instead of decreases) homework can get obnoxious but it helps. nothing too difficult.

Thought I would hate this class but absolutely loved it. Not the most interesting material, but Seidman knew his stuff so well, he made it interesting. Basically said everything that would be on the test and was a very fair grader.

Say what you want about Seidman but the man is truly gifted in the field of economics. Approachable, fair, and understanding. A very clear lecturer. Go to his office hours and pick his brain, hes got some great theories. Overall the class isnt bad. 3 Exams, Final, and HWs. Pay attention in class and study the old exams = A. Learned a LOT.

the greatest professor in UD! must take him!!!

Very nice guy, tries to be funny and on occasion he's successful. Good teacher, typical Keynesian though.

Seidman is very intelligent, but also a bit of a know it all. If you pay attention, you will learn a TON about macroeconomics. Homework forces you to learn the material, but really do it. Most studying should be done by looking at and practicing with old exams, but you want to have done the reading so you have the background knowledge.

Seidman is probably one of the best professors I've had as an Econ major, despite the fact he's pretty liberal. The homeworks definitely help as do office hours. He actually cares about his students, can't say that about many others. He gives you old exams too. He actually sang "The Taxman" once in class, kind of funny.

Easily the best Econ teacher I have had at UD. He makes funny jokes throughout class and enjoys teaching. His tests are very similar to the practice tests, he does pass an attendence sheet around so you should go to class. there are homework assignments every class, but are very simple and checked for completeness. overall great guy!

Seidman is the man. Really knows his stuff and had a passion for it. Wrote the textbook and only charges $30 for it. Gotta respect his quirkiness. Takes attendance and has homework due every class but it really helps for the tests which are mostly short answer. You will know what to expect though. Highly recommend

Good dude. You have to read and do a homework assignment for every class, but it helps you understand the material. Exams are largely based off of the previous semester's correlating exam. Tests contain a lot of material, but they're easy to do well on if you put the time in. Lectures can get very dry, but he really does care about his students.

Best Econ professior I've ever hadHe cares about his studentsGo to office hours if you don't understand the material. He is so nice and friendly. Review the old examsread the textbookthe article on sakaiand the handout he gives then you'll be fine. I got a B only because english is my second language

Seidman is great. Nice guy. Really knows his stuff. But lectures are so boring! I almost fell asleep at 9 am everytime. My fondest memory is when he sang the class the Beatles song, "Taxman". May have been one of the greatest moments of my undergrad career. Use the old test as a guide, do the homework and you're good. Test are just really long.

Seidman is a very passionate professor who cares about his students' success. There is a HW assignment due before each class but it truly reinforces the topics and prepares you for exams. He provides his last semester exams with his answers to the questions and your exams will be nearly identical to the last semester's. Great econ elective!!!

Fairly easy class for a 400 level b/c he cares about his students, what they learn, what grade they get. 3 packets of articles, $60 each which sucks b/c you don't really need them as long as you know someone in class who has them. HW every class that is just summaries he checks for completion, 3 exams that are all memorization. Very relevant class

Every class you will have a two page homework assignment which isn't that bad really just tedious. Two exams and a final but he gives you the exams from the semester before and a lot of the information can be memorized. Show up, just sit there and you can get a decent grade with not too much effort.

Professor Seidman is one of my favorite econ professors. The class had a lot of reading and 2-page summaries due each class, but you get used to it and it ends up not being too bad. He always gives past exams to study from and copies 80% of them on his new exams, so as long as you study the past ones, you'll be fine!

Professor Seidman's honors section of ECON435 was a really manageable honors capstone. There was a lot of reading and summaries of the readings for every class, but the only honors addition was a 5-page research paper on a topic you choose. He gives feedback on the paper and boosts your grade for taking his suggestions. Exams are easy!

Your grade is based on 3 exams, attendance, and daily homework assignments which are two pages summarizing the reading due every class. The tests are 3 pages of fill in the blank words - complete memorization. Pretty easy for a 400 level Econ class. The lectures are boring and unnecessary but go for the attendance credit since it counts.
