Cool Dude who is really funny and makes his classes as fun as they can be.

Absolutely wonderful, plus cute too!

Made the class interesting to be in, always entertained even seemingly stupid questions. He helped me out a lot when I wasnt doing well in the class. He seemed to truly enjoy teaching. Not overly easy, but fair, definitly worth taking him if you have to take the class.

He has a good sense of humor and has lots of examples and stories. For an older guy, he's good looking

Craig is the man! He is soo willing to help you, even when it isn't office hours! If you take good notes and will read the book, the class is easy! And just ask questions! oh yeah, and he is funny!

Craig is a dedicated teacher. He loves the subject and he inspires his students to work hard. I enjoyed his class which provided a welcome diversion from the daily rigors of my other engineering courses. His tests were by no means easy and you had to know the material so watch out!

he was a great professor. tests were not hard, no attendence policy, youll start going to class though just for the laugh. very entertaining guy. definately recommend him.

duke econ 132. Great class. He is a funny guy who loves to teach and makes lectures entertaining. His tests are pretty tough even though the final was open note, take home.The midterms are pretty manageable, just know your charts and tables he loves to test those. HW is very easy and not often

Great Class! Dr. Craig goes at a good pace, not too slow and not too fast. He relates everything to real world examples, explains the material well, and has a great sense of humor.

Dr. Craig is the man! I loved attending his class. He is very funny and you can really tell that he loves teaching. Relates material covered extremely well.

This guy is the man! He's pretty laid back, really funny, has fun teaching the material. You should get a good grade if you do a reasonable amount of work.

Dr. Craig is so entertaining. He relates the material to real world examples that aren't too difficult to grasp. You can tell he has a good time doing his job and seems to care about his students...I would highly recommend taking his class...you won't have a problem making yourself go to it.

Very interesting teacher. Attendance only helps you to reinforce the material, but he doesn't require it. However, to receive homework assignments you have to show up, and he won't tell you when they're coming. There are only 2 homeworks, and 2 tests along with the final. Not very many grades to help your average! He's a good teacher though. :)

Best Professor I've ever had. He only gives 2 or 3 homework assignments, which are really easy. I did them in class the day they were due. He's really funny and very interesting. I had him at 8am and his jokes kept me awake

By far one of the best professors at NC State. Dr. Craig understands most of his students are not in the College of Management so he tries to make economics as interesting as possible. Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll want to go just to hear his lectures. 2 homework assignments and 2 tests, all which arn't too difficult if you attend class.

I was hesitant to take this class & didn't do so well at first. I started going to Dr. Craig's office hours & what a difference! Dr. Craig is the rare prof who actually cares about his students & enjoys teaching. Funny & a true gentleman, he always says hello when he sees you outside of class. Turned a class I didn't like into a great experience.

Dr. Craig is amazing! You want to take Econ with him. Class was not mandatory but I never skipped it. He is sooo funny and makes class a lot of fun. I swear that class flew and I didn't want to leave. Craig wants you to do well and prepares you well for tests. Go to review sessions and sit up front if you want him to know your name!

Dr. Craig is awesome. He makes it easy to understand since he knows that practically everybody takes the class for the requirement. Only two tests the lab and final. One of the first three gets dropped.

Lee really makes Econ. enjoyable, somehow. I was not expecting a professor to be so outgoing and interesting, but he was. He knows this subject and teaches it with a passion. Def. a must take for anyone.

THE BEST TEACHER AT NCSTATE!! hands down. He is soo willing to help you if you just ask him! He is really funny which was helpful since I had this class at 9am! Some of the material is a bit confusing but nothing he can't clear up!! If you sit in the front row you will be considered his posse!! I FREAKING LOVE LEE CRAIG! take his class :)

Best Professor Ever!

Best. Professor. Ever. Seriously. Extremely nice and helpful, and makes otherwise dry and boring material come to life. He is incredibly personable and is extremely clear when he teaches. I strongly suggest taking a class with him. In my entire career at Duke, he was BY FAR, the nicest, and best professor I have had. Learned a lot in the class.

Best professor I have ever had in any level of schooling. Dr. Craig is extremely personable and a fantastic professor. The lecture material is somewhat boring he makes it come to life. I wish I would have gotten to know him better. Extremely helpful, smart and animated. Strongly suggest taking a class with him.

BEST ECON TEACHER EVER! the material is so boring, but he is the best at making it entertaining. he's a very funny guy, and he explains things to where anyone can understand them. great sense of humor. great class to have at 10am. very helpful when you need it. TAKE HIS CLASS!

He is a interesting teacher. I enjoyed all the lectures even though it was a very large class (~400). Only two tests, you only have to take 1, and 3 homework assignments in a recitation witch is mandatory. Found it easy and fun.

I have never taken an economics class before arriving to NCSU. Dr. Craig makes the concepts understandable to the students. He will even work with students after class giving extra practice questions.

Probably the best professor I've ever had. He is so knowledgable and cares about the subject. He has a great way of explaining things in a simple way and tests aren't too bad if you study. Only downfall is the final is worth 50% of your grade!

Excellent teacher with a very clear and lucid method of teaching. Gives great feedback on projects and homeworks and is open to questions outside class. I have taken two of his classes and I highly recommend taking his honors seminar or an economics class.

Not mandatory attendance, but he occasionally takes it. Great lectures and incredibly helpful in office hours.

He's very knowledgeable in his field and kinda funny. He loves questions, so go ahead and ask them. Class is overall pretty easy. All the tests are multiple choice. Macroeconomics is much easier than micro, in my opinion.

Not too bad of a class. Professor Craig is very knowledgable about economics and he is willing to answer any/all questions students might have during lecture. He is also comical, which is good for a subject like economics. Attendance not required, although he takes it occasionally.

Attendance isn't mandatory but he occasionally takes attendance to see who gets to be bumped up a little at the end of the semester. His lectures were honestly really fun and interesting and if you choose to not go to class, all you have to do is read the textbook. It's so easy to keep up with his class as long as you actively KEEP UP with it!

Microeconomics is boring and he knows that, but he tries his best to make it interesting. He makes economics bearable.

One of the best professors at NC State. His lectures are amazing and very easy to understand. He spends more time trying to help you understand the concept rather than speed through the material. Tests are mainly based off of his lectures slides and the econ lab slides. I didn't need the textbook nor the online code so save your money on that.

Boring class.... but its econ. He does his best to keep class interesting but it is mostly lectures. Sit in the front and try to get to know him. One of your test grades will be filled in by homework which means an easy 100. Show up and pay some attention and you should get at least a B.

I loved having Mr. Craig as a teacher. Econ can be a tough class but he always starts it off with a joke. He is really engaging with his students and you can tell he is enthusiastic to teach the class. Homework is minimal (just 5 lab homeworks) and tests are doable. Definitely recommend.

A great guy that lectures better than any other professor I have had. Only problem I had was the tests were hard and the final exam and 3rd midterm are put together. If you do fine on at least 2 tests you will have no trouble.

Dr. Craig makes economics easy and boring. I would suggest everyone to take his class regardless of requirements. He gives plenty of examples for each topic in the lectures, even deciphering WSJ articles on the projector. Makes plenty of jokes, makes economics easy to understand. If someone doesn't do well in his class, it is their own fault.

Dr. Craig's lecture was a huge class. It was sometimes difficult to understand his lectures, so reading the textbook was extremely necessary. He drops the lowest test grade. He gave 3 tests and a final exam, but the third test and final were taken on the same day, which was not ideal.

Dr. Craig's lectures are very entertaining and he makes the material a lot less boring and easier to understand. He seems to really care about his students, although the tests were still very difficult in my opinion.

Craig is by far the best economics professor. I did great in this class because of him.

Lee Craig is the MAN. Only have 5 grades, he drops the lowest which could be the final. I rarely attended class, just read the book the night before the test and did fine. If you do go to his lectures they are content dry but he makes jokes the whole time so it is entertaining. He is a solid teacher and would 10/10 recommend.

One of my favorite professors so far. He knows that not everyone is very interested in economics, and tries his best to get the information to everyone in a fun way. Lectures are usually entertaining and grading was pretty lenient.

Craig is a great professor who makes the lectures fun. The class only has 4 tests so it is easy to either ace the class or fail it. Make sure to go to the lectures because many test questions reference to things included in the lectures and not things in the book. Don't be fooled - the tests are more than just the study guides posted!

Admitted econ was boring for most at beginning of the semester yet still made class interesting and fun. Great personality and let out early sometimes if the weather was nice out. You HAVE TO go to class to do well, even though attendance isn't mandatory. 3 tests, a homework grade, and final all weighed at 25 points equally with lowest dropped

Very funny, helpful, and will work around office hours if necessary. Textbook is helpful but everything is covered in class. Lots of tangents, some of which are relevant. Graded mainly on tests; attendance taken randomly. Makes economics interesting, which is not easy.

Best Professor you could ask for he is so funny and sweet!! Take him for real, he is very understanding and makes lectures bearable and will let you out early a lot of time. The test aren't bad just read his powerpoints over and do the few 5 Q online quizzes don't worry they are easy.

He is best professor you could ask for the only reason his class is "difficult" is because he only has tests and a few quizzes that are online so if you don't have that many chances but none of it is really that hard. It is all off his power points and they are posted on Moodle. Take him fr! He is so funny and caring!

I only show up to his class because he makes economics as fun as you can make economics. Although attendance is optional, it helps to show up because he talks a lot aside from his power points and clarifies things well. I only use the book for practice questions and get by with low B's/high C's, but there's only a few quiz grades aside from exams.

I took him for 201, an intro class required by engineering, and he realized that no one really wanted to be there. He made class as interesting as he could, often joking about how no one really cared about economics. He taught with his hands with a new specific gesture for each concept. He talked to the front row and made fun of the back row. Fun

Lee Craig is a pretty great guy. For non economics this class can be very daunting and economics can be very boring. However as head of the department and a pretty cool guy he makes a very boring class pretty fun and engaging. However that being said it doesn't mean you will coast through his class. If your not comfortable with the topics, READ.

Professor Craig is a very nice and funny. His tests are fair and if you study the day before you should do fine. ECON is boring but he makes it a lot better.

Best professor I've ever had, hands down. His lectures make a subject as boring as econ become interesting and hilarious. He not only makes you actually want to come to the lectures, but he also does a great job of conveying the material. Great professor.

Such a funny and down to earth guy. HIs lectures are entertaining. He uses Cengage which is really helpful when it comes to studying for exams. Just stay on track with lectures and online homework and you'll get an A.

Dr. Craig is one of the best professors in the business school. He is so passionate, enthusiastic, and strategic with his teaching. I'm so thankful I took him.

One of the best professors I've had at NCSU! Great guy, passionate about the material, and always ready to help. Lectures are funny and helpful but can be long sometimes. Labs are like mini lectures with weekly homework. Do what the syllabus says (reading, problems, etc.) and you'll be golden.

The best professor I have ever had. Really engaging, makes the topic interesting, and great personality.

Dr. Craig is hilarious. Had to take Econ to start my business minor, and I did not go wrong. His lectures are funny, and if you need to miss a couple classes it's not the end of the world. If you're looking for a class that's not too difficult and has a good professor, take Craig!

Dr. Craig is an amazing teacher who truly knows how to get the entire lecture engaged in the information. The labs/problem sessions are lectures and help taught by various TAs. The tests aren't difficult, but there are only around 23-25 questions. Favorite professor at NCSU!

Lee is a great guy, and overall a pretty good lecturer. However, in order to properly prepare for your tests you must do lots of studying outside of the lecture slides, as they arent that helpful in test preparation. If you can do that youll be great, and Craig has a great since of humor as well.

Dr. Craig is a really nice guy. He gets that a lot of us do not really want to be in class, so he tries to make it as entertaining as possible. However, the material is just so boring. You either love it or you hate it. To truly understand what is going on, make sure you read the textbook. This class is very test heavy, however he drops your lowest

Dr. Craig was absolutely hilarious and made econ as interesting and engaging as it can be. If you study a bit the night before, the tests aren't too bad.

Take econ with Professor Craig. He makes more sense over other professors. Whether you like econ or not (I don't btw) he does his best to engage the class. Tests are so straightforward that as long as you learn the concepts through doing the work, you'll get an A. He is also super receptive to bumping grades up if you accidentally miss a question.

Dr. Craig subbed in for Dr. Hyman's EC205 class so I got him for half of the semester. He is funny and a great lecturer! He used a lot of real life examples and made economics fun with his jokes.

Take EC202 with Lee Craig. He is the best professor I have every had. Very engaging and I genuinely enjoyed listening to his lectures even though I am not a fan of economics. Tests are a little tough but review notes and the textbook and you will do fine. Highly recommend this professor.

Lee Craig is literally the best. He is an awesome Econ professor and he really helps you understand the applications of economics to real world examples. If you have to take EC 202 as a requirement, take it with Lee Craig for sure! Love him.

He is hilarious and definitely knows what he is talking about! Exams aren't overly difficult.

Dr. Craig was the best. Great sense of humor while still effectively teaching the course. I learned so much from this course and would for sure take it again. No assigned homework, just quizzes and tests. No tricks or curveballs on the tests either. Just study the lecture and do the opt hw and you'll be golden. Would recommend the textbook.

Professor Craig is one of the best professors I have taken. His lectures are very interesting and he truly cares that you learn how to apply the material to real world problems. Overall and amazing class and professor. I highly recommend this professor.

Professor Craig is by far the best professor in Poole College of Management. He teaches lectures that are easy to follow and his notes correlate very closely to his test with the exception of maybe 3 or 4 problems.

Dr. Creig was one of the best professors I have ever met. He helped me a lot during the time I took his class and he makes lectures (Even online lectures) appear like a comedy which helps me focus. I wish I had him for every class. Did I mention there's no homework at all in this course?

Prof Craig creates engaging lecture slides for his students + does not give a lot of homework. Don't need to buy the textbook, especially if money is tight. Would recommend focusing on his slides, which has most of what you need to know, along with mastering the lab homework (pretty easy if you pay attention). This class is test heavy, so beware.

TAKE PROFESSOR CRAIG!! He is an absolute legend of a professor. Lectures are never dull and he is ridiculously funny. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in his class. Only 3 tests throughout the semester and NO HOMEWORK. TAKE HIM!!

AMAZING! I wish there were more professors like him. He is kind, funny, and passionate. He is a teacher who doesn't want to stress out his students and makes the class fun. I feel like have learned a lot from him because of how engaging he is in his lectures. Read the PowerPoints and try to understand the material, and you should do well.

Dr. Craig did an excellent job explaining basic economic concepts during his class. I learned a lot from him and he was also very approachable during office hours. His tests and quizzes are challenging but reasonable as long as you pay attention in class.

Dr.Craig has very entertaining lectures and the tests weren't too hard. Very little hw

Dr. Lee is one of the funniest professors I have had. Genuinely great at teaching what he does and though test are hard I went to every class and did fine.

By far one of the best professors I've had. He makes economics interesting and really works to make sure everyone understands the lecture material. Only downside would be it is a pretty test heavy course because there are no quizzes and only a few homework assignments. Overall, very highly recommend him for this course.

Love Prof. Craig. He has amazing lectures, he teaches very well, and his lectures are hilarious. Tests are easy if you study and the homework is easy. Would definitely take more classes by him.

Amazing teacher! So much better than my Micro Econ teacher! He was funny and made the lectures interesting. He bearly gave any homework and his tests were fully multiple choice and never had any trick questions. Wish he taught all my Business classes!

He is really great. My favorite professor so far. He really cares that you understand and do well. The lectures are funny. Not a heavy workload class.

Made every class very interesting and genuinely cared that his students understood the subject matter

Arguably the best teacher I've had since being at nc state. Professor Craig is really great at making lectures enjoyable and relating the material to you in a way that makes it very easy to understand. Tests are not hard if you look over notes. Really enjoyable and great professor I would 100% RECOMMEND.

The best professor I've had at NC State. He's hilarious, engaging, and genuinely cares about his students. Wonderful at teaching, and the class is very easy if you pay attention and do the homework and optional practice problems on the syllabus, definitely take him if you can!!

Craig was the best professor I've had. His humor makes a boring subject enjoyable and I actually look forward to his class. In class he gives out major hints for what study for exams, which are multiple choice. Show up, read, and study a little and you can make an A. Wish he could teach all of my classes!

Dr. Craig is an engaging, fun professor. I was worried because I am not great at Econ but his lectures are easy to follow and he is very approachable. He always cracks jokes and lets you know what will be on the exam. He provides extra resources/practice problems very far in advance. Overall great professor and I highly recommend!

I enjoy attending Dr. Craigs class. He engages with the class and keeps them entertained. He does drop either your lowest exam grade or recitation grade. Test are difficult, but when you learn how to study for them, they become more simple.

FUNNIEST PROFESSOR EVERRRRR. He cares so much about his students!! LOVE HIM. Wish I could him take again but I suck at econ. Still great. Wish he gave better study guides for the exams, but other than that, attendance is not mandatory and there is like 0 homework except studying.

There are only exams and the "lab" grade. He drops your lowest grade. It's very test heavy so if that's not your thing I wouldn't reccommend this class. Other than that he's an amazing professor. Interacts with his students often and doesn't make the exams difficult. If you read the optional textbook to purchase you'll do great.

Professor Craig is easily one of, if not the best professor I've had in my four years at state. His class was test-heavy, but as long as you pay attention in class and study you will do well. He is a great lecturer and made everything fun and easy to understand. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I attended almost every class because I enjoyed them.

Dr. Craig is a great professor that is clearly passionate about economics. His lectures are engaging and it is not difficult to pay attention. There are five grades in this class. Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, Recitation grade, and the cumulative final exam. He drops the lowest one of these grades, so the other 4 left each count 25 percent.

Professor Craig was another solid instructor I have had the privilege of taking. Lectures were short, around 40 minutes, and not packed heavily with content. He truly cares about his students and makes sure we do not take an exam without thoroughly understanding the content. Slides were also concise and his TAs were helpful.

Amazing person and lecturer. The curriculum for this course wasn't the most interesting to me but Professor Craig made the lectures pretty entertaining. Grade was comprised of tests and homework's both of which were easy.

Hes great. Short sweet simple.

Great professor! Gives good lectures. He tries to throw in a few jokes which helps lighten the mood. Test are not to bad as long as you know the formulas. Doing the optional homework was helpful.

Dr. Craig is truly the best professor I've had and is very passionate about economics. His lectures are engaging and very entertaining. He's hilarious, and genuinely cares about his students. Wonderful at teaching, and the class can be easy if you pay attention.

Best professor I've had so far. Lectures are entertaining and he will go into depth instead of just reading off slides. You don't need to buy the textbook he will only test on the material covered in lectures, but it does help. The final is optional if you're happy with your current grade. Dr. Craig cares about his students and makes it known.

A fantastic lecturer, hilarious, inspirational, and does a great job taking abstract economic concepts and bringing it down to be easily understandable. One of the few professors where I rarely missed a lecture simply to listen to what he had to say. However - there are a good bit of students who do NOT do well in this class for some reason.

He's an awesome prof who does his absolute best every single day. Cant ask for more. Study for tests and take notes and the rest will work out

Great Professor, tests are 75% of the grade, with 3 quizzes and 3 homework averages counting for the other 25%. Makes the class great. He cares.

Love professor Craig and his lectures, I actually learned a lot about economics in his class. My only complaint is that the course is solely graded on exams and your recitation score that seems like it should be an easy A for but the quizzes and homeworks are hard with very little instruction from the TA's. He does drop one of 5 grades and curves.

Craig is so goated guys, take him if you can. He makes macro so understandable, I enjoyed it better than micro. I will say just like the others it is test-heavy so just study ahead, everything on tests is said during the lecture/labs, and maybe sometimes textbooks. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is also always open to questions.

Best professor this semester by far! His lectures are really entertaining and he's a real goofy guy. The concepts aren't very hard to understand. The main thing is there's only 4 grades for the class, so just lock in for exams and you're golden. Also one exam score is replaced by recitation, so there's room for error.

My favorite professor ever! 5 total grades. 3 exams worth 25% each, rec session worth 25%, final exam worth 25%. He'll drop the lowest of the 5 grades so you can skip final if you do well early. Attendance not mandatory, but I highly recommend you do as he makes economics super interesting. You'll do great if you watch the lectures.

Dr. Craig cares about his students a lot. He teaches the material very well and tells you what you need to study for the exams. He keeps his lectures interesting and he throws many jokes in as well to stay engaged with the class. You also don't have to take the final if you are satisfied with your grade. I would take this class with him if you can.

the best econ professor you could have, explained things really well in class and all the content was easy to digest. the exams are a direct reflection of the content in class so as long as you know the powerpoints you'll do well

Professor Craig makes macro easy with engaging lectures. Tests are tough but he drops the lowest grade. unstuckstudy was a game-changer for understanding the concepts.

Just a nice guy who really cares and is passionate about economics. He makes every lecture enjoyable, doesn't feel like you're being lectured at

i was hesitant about this class because econ is not my strong suit, but Dr. Craig is such a good professor that he makes the subject interesting. he genuinely cares about his students and makes lectures entertaining and engaging. although the class is exam-heavy, he tells you what's going to be on exams and is just an all-around good guy.

I bombed the first test due to my own skill issue. However, Professor Craig makes a subject I hate learning about into a great and entertaining subject. Just attend the lectures and problem sessions and be careful not to get lax on your knowledge of the content, since there are hardly any assignments.

Hilarious dude, and if you do well enough on the 3 exams and recitation, you don't need to take the final. Super cool guy! very interactive with the class and makes the concept easy to understand

ABSOLUTELY TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! Makes such a boring course fun by saying funny things throughout lectures to get everyones attention. You will only have 3 exams and a final. Recitation is not required unless you have a quiz... there are only 3 all semester. Lowest grade out of recitation and exams gets dropped so skipping the final is an option!

Take him. Take him. Take him. TAKE HIM! I hope this gets my point across, you won't regret it! :)

Dr. Craig is a great professor. This is the second course of his I have taken. The material is not always very interesting, but he tries to keep the class engaged and make it more fun. Your grade is just three tests and some homework, so it's important to do well and study a lot for each exam. Final is cumulative.

Very engaging professor as other reviews have mentioned. Only study the lectures, slides, previous exams, and recitation material to do well. The textbook is a waste of time unless you want to do the practice problems or for personal interest. Also, try to register early to avoid having a recitation session early in the morning. Craig is amazing.

Absolute goat. Loved him. I enjoyed going to his lectures even though they were a bit early. He goes over harder material very well and makes sure you understand it. Gives you plenty of examples. I got no lower than a 95 on the tests. Study the slides heavily and recitation and you will be fine. Funny dude too.

One of the best professors at NCSU. Tests are very important, watch the lectures over, and find quizlets from other students to help!

Craig is so goated, take him if you can. Mostly exam-based class so watch out there, hw and is very light, no curves on tests, but most of the time he moves up a + at the end of the class. Funny guy, makes topics understandable, and always ready to answer questions and help you.

Makes a boring subject fun and interesting for a lot of people.

This guy is awesome. Take him if you can. Tests aren't difficult.

Super great Professor! Made EC 202 enjoyable and exciting to learn about. No homework throughout the week except for recitation, and only 3 HW assignments along with 3 Quizzes in there. Super funny guy. Would definitely recommend taking his class. Attendance not graded but exams are super important towards your grade.

If you do the textbook questions and applications, you'll do well. GO TO OFFICE HOURS!!! He is super willing to help with extra practice problems and makes lectures very enjoyable.

One of the best professors I've had. Very funny and clearly knows his stuff. The only downside to the class is that 75% of the grade is exams, and another 12.5% is in-class quizzes. Because of this, it's hard to get an A unless you consistently do great on every exam. One of the harder classes to get an A in, but this dude is great so it's whatever

Professor Craig is a funny and caring guy who is passionate about the subject and his students. Grades are comprised of exams & a recitation grade (3 homeworks & 3 quizzes). Your lowest grade is dropped, so you can decide not to take the optional final. Exams can be difficult, so make sure to study a decent amount.
