Guess what? Game theory is hard. Deal with it. Poor Lincun had to put up with a class of people who couldn't do simple calculus. It's not his fault if McGill lets unqualified students into its Econ grad program.

i liked this prof, he may have a slight accent but so do most profs. if you go visit him during office hours he's really helpful, and he doesn't give exams beyond the expected. for such a difficult subject this was a really good course.

In spite of people complaining, those who put in the effort understood the subject and did well. It's not a hard class and it's not a bad teacher, but laziness can me it seem so.

fine..he has problems communicating and is not the most entertaining guy. But he is very helpful. See him in his office and he'll do anything to help you. Also, game theory is not for paperweight economists. If you want an easy A, then don't take it. Favorite line: "All clear?"

His English is somewhat hard to understand. If you can get around that, though, his course is a joy to take.

This guy is great. He does have an accent but he's kind, funny and he knows his stuff. If you ask him to repeat he'll do it as many times as you need. After having read the comments on this site I was actually scared, but he turned out to be a very pleasant surprise!

He is so nice a professor, he can help you with all kinds of questions in this subject. It is not an easy course, you can not get an easy A if you dont work hard, though he explains very clear.

an OK prof. sometimes confusing, but clear overall. Nice and helpful during office hours. Plus, he REALLY curves a lot for both midterms and finals!

He is very intelligent.

tough course. But learn a lot, and he is very nice and helpful

Prof Xue had to take over the second semester with most of us shellshocked from the first term. With Prof Greenberg sick most of the time, I bombed the first term. Xue gave me a fighting chance to pass the course with his humour and willingness to go over things. I barely passed but I credit my survival in this hard as hell honours course to him!

Xue is a very friendly and cheerful guy. His accent does get in the way of class sometimes, but he's a fair grader and his exams are mostly math based, rather than theory. He's a sweet man who knows what he's talking about. Be sure to take him for game theory.

The class is very dull, but if you like game theory, his classes are fine. Midterm was hard. Chooses materials that wasn't "expected". Very helpful though. GO to his office hours and everything will click. No matter how many times you need him to explain it he will do it. Eventually, you'll click too. A very fair final. Good Prof overall

Licun is so nice and funny. Do the problem sets over and over again . Make sure you know how to do the problem sets!!!

He's a great professor and will really help you if you go to his office hours. Midterms and Finals were fair, and an A is obtainable as long as you spend a lot of time on his problem sets.

such a nice prof, always smile, make some friendly jokes, and u will be fine if u pay enough attention to his problem sets.

Licun's a great prof. His accent is heavy, but if you focus in class, you'll learn to understand him. Hated him at first but grew to love him. His problem sets are the hardest thing ever, but they prepare you really well for exams. The course is the hardest in the major, but Licun makes you work so you actually LEARN. That's why we're in university

After taking second-semester courses, I gave him a 5.... His exams are absolutely predictable just be sure you can handle all the problem sets and past finals.. (You can find them all easily on coursehero) Our class average was around 80- pretty high compare to ECON257.....

ECON 250D (and all the other Honours courses) is hard, Licun Xue has a thick Chinese but I have rarely seen anyone as nice as him! Always a smile, very caring and worried about you understanding the material and his lecture. He will stay more than one hour after class to explain the material if it was unclear.

Licun is such a nice guy and wants his students to do well.

He insane of the most kindest guy I have ever met. He tries so hard to make sure you understand the material. However, his accent is too thick even for a Chinese student but he talks slowly enough so that helps. The course material is challenging but the problem sets and lectures are highly connected to the exams.

Really kind and solid prof. Problem sets definitely reflect midterm and final difficulty.

Took him for two Hon. micro courses - by far the best econ prof. VERY clear and simple explanations of hard concepts, the accent people talk about - you get used to it after 2 lectures, and with recorded classes it makes it very easy to re-listen and understand. Very down to earth (opposite to some other hon. profs), cares for everyone to do well

Strongly based on the textbook for the course but he helpfully extracts the key parts from each chapter and presents them clearly in his slideshows. He is a bit hard to understand, so listening to his lectures isn't the most important part so focus on the slides. Do all the exercises in the textbook study plan; they're basically the exam questions.

His lectures are mostly based on the textbook, so attendance is not mandatory as long as you read it. His slides are helpful in a way that it summarizes the important concepts. His exams are also very reasonable, but he does not give you any practice exams or problems before the exam.

Dr. Xue made this class amazing. He taught to the classes ability, gave real world examples, always answered questions, and conveyed the information in an interesting way. I hope he is teaching Econ 250 next year!

He is very kind and gives fair exams. Lectures can be a bit dry, but otherwise no complaints.

Sweetest guy ever, tries so hard to make class funny and interesting. However, I learnt most of the subject matter straight from the amazing textbook and stopped going to class. Lecture style can put you to sleep. Goes very slow when covering subject matter.

If you can complete and understand practice exams and assignments (prior to the midterm and final), you're set for a decent grade.

Professor Xue is very knowledgeable about the content, but it is often difficult for him to "dumb it down" for students who do not understand his initial explanations. His lectures are kind of dry, but good for anyone interested in theory. You can re-teach yourself the whole sem in like 20 hrs before exams. Problem sets look exactly like exams.

Great prof I love him

had his micro in 2017.his Chinese accent was strong and some explanations weren't clear. But he was one of those professors who actually cared. Like, he'd answer emails in time, and if students needed help, he'd stay late after office hours without making a big deal about it. If you just put in the work on assignments, you could get solid grades.
