He is a good person. As long as you go to class, you are guaranteed a good grade. He is also very approachable and willing to help.
no he is a terrible teacher. extremely boring and tests are pretty much impossbile. hes such a bad teacher that he has to curve the class grade by 20 or more points! he is terrrible adn i would NOT recomend him ever.
People that don't like going to class won't do good here. You have to read the book and pay attention. He is very open to question in and out of class. I got an A in this class.
He is a nice guy but,he could not communicate the concepts. I had to rely on my book. Tests were very difficult!
boring sucks really bad don't take him
Knows his stuff well, if you are 19 looking for a easy A, pick something taught by someone else. Luc's goal is for you to leave having learned something and he will exhaust himself to that end. He should probably not be teaching undergrad economics -he should be teaching grad students seeking to really learn something. Would be good in MBA program.
He knows what hes talking about, but he won't let you slide if that is what you are looking for.
Knowledgeable teacher. I Took the two week course. He has tests everyday and he grades with a curve because avg 66 in the class.his tests are designed to make you think and apply the definitions.Multiple choice quizes,very tricky,final a killer. Attending class, extra study, ensures a good grade, learning is his objective, not good grades.
Very poor in relaying information to students. Knows his subject but expects students to know before walking in to class. Avoid at all costs.
He's nice and funny. Definitely knows what he is talking about, and the class was inteteresting. He wants you to learn the subject, and the tests were hard, i aced the class, but it requires a lot of application of the material, and lot of thinking. take him if you want to learn.
tests somewhat tricky at times but he was very helpful and seemed to know the material. overall made it easy to understand. made economics interesting. good sense of humor. laid back.
Very smart teacher that knows what he is teaching. His tests are hard due to the way he words his questions. A lot of study time is required to make an A in his course. He grades with a curve and helps anyone that needs it. No busy work required, only tests.
Very hard to understand his lectures. He mumbles a little bit and takes time in getting things out of his head and saying them to the class. Knows his stuff but needs to better his way of teaching it to others.Having no previous knowledge of economics, he was not an entry-level-type of teacher.Tests...tricky wording.
dont take him you wont learn a thing and its hard to make a good grade go somewhere else
monotone voice. can see how students could fall asleep. 3 exams + 1 final. curves grades obscenely, but we need it. knows his stuff, we just don't get it. comes in a couple min. after class starts. pretty fast with grading tests, gives back next class. sit close to see handwriting clearly. not scrawny, but not pretty either. gives study quizzes.
This professor is cool but you might learn something. His teaching style was a little strange to us.He always refers to articles and can spen most of the class time reading them to us. Quizzes every other week.
Horrible. I have not learned a thing. He claims he goes by the textbook, but he doesn't. He rambles and half of whats on the test he doesn't teach in class. Do not take him!! I'm an A students and I can barely make a B. Study doesn't help because his questions are ridiculous.
AVOID. He's an economist, NOT a professor. I'm an A student, but I had no idea what was going on in class and failed pretty much everything. He curves an obscene amount because no one can pass his tests. Rambles for most of class about completely irrelevant stuff, and spends about 15 minutes on what we're actually tested on. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
To all Joint Enrollment students advised to take his class in order to pass the EOCT: Don't waste your time; he will not prepare you at all. The stuff he teaches is far more advanced than anything on the EOCT.
STAY AWAY!!! Extremely intelligent man, but a horrible teacher. His stuff is way too advanced for lower level ECON. The econ book didn't even help on the tests either b/c he makes up his own questions. His class is very boring, and most of my class this semester made D's or lower. STAY AWAY!!!!
Unless you love econ and understand it ridiculously well without the help of a teacher you're screwed. this guy is always late and spends the first like 20 mins of class talking nonsense to students. I didn't understand anything he said his tests were super hard and worded weird. Doesn't respond to e-mails. just pray you have helpful classmates.
I do NOT recommend taking his class. If you're truly passionate about economics than he would probably be a cool guy to talk to, but if you just want to get the gen ed credit, prepare to have your time wasted. It's pretty easy though; the way he curves grades it's LITERALLY impossible to fail the course,
Grades on a curve, yes, but you're still bound to struggle. He doesn't give you much of a break, either. Plan to teach yourself and good luck.
He seems like a nice guy and is really interested in what he's teaching, but he's not a teacher-he's an economist. Supposedly grades on a curve but my final grade still give me the great joy of having to rake the class over again despite attending every class and doing decent on quizzes and the final. I wouldn't recommend, but if you must-good luck
Joint Enrolment Students: DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! He does not teach you what u need to know for the EOCT, nor does he care. This class will not transfer either! I went to every class, attended study groups, etc and still strugled. Doesn't use the book; waste of money. He has to curve everyone's grade to an insane level so a few people get A's.
The class is too hard. I love a challenge, but this is ridiculous. You can actually see on the tests where he used whiteout to erase Econ 2600 and wrote Econ 1101. Lectures are boring and monotonous. I usually left class after forty-five minutes or didn't go at all since it was pointless to go at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
He is really nice, and he is WAY over-qualified for this job. I disagree with previous comments about how he doesn't care about students' grades. One time I turned in my test and forgot to do a whole entire page and he let me come in and re-do that page. I ended the semester with a B.
I took his class as a joint enrollment student. Wouldn't recommend it, the class had literally nothing in common with the EOCT. I didn't attend his class more than once a month and got a B because he puts such a ridiculous curve on everything. But I wouldn't recommend it simply because I learned nothing.
I feel as though I learned more in his class than I did in any other class I took at KSU. It was challenging at times but definitely worth it. My advice: sit in the front, come to class, and TAKE NOTES. If you attend regularly you will have no problems. He is a really nice guy.
This class was strictly lecture. He did not at all prepare us for the tests. I am a senior and have taken much harder classes and professors yet done better. Please do not take this as some lazy freshman review. He is not at all helpful outside of class. I would not take him unless its an upper level econ class and is in your field. He is clearly just going through the motions and couldn't care less whether or not his students are processing the information.
Great professor, wide knowledge about Econ. If you are a freshman looking for an easy A he is not the guy to take, he will make you think, you can't skate by without putting any effort into it. If you like Econ and understand it well, I would recommend him.
Nice guy and extremely intelligent. Class is not easy though. Homework assignments required looking outside of the lectures and books to figure out how to do them. For tests he gives you a study guide that is nearly identical to the test itself, but it still isn't easy.
Most test straight from book, and his lectures not from the book at all.. be ready to read read read. I agree with others if this is your major he would be great, but if it isn't.. he isn't the teacher for you
This guy rambles for ever and loses his train of thought. Attendance optional and he seems pretty easy. Just read the textbook and you'll do just fine
This professor is so nice, he tries his best to make economics understandable but sometimes he just doesn't know what to say. The tests are relatively easy if you read the text and attend lectures. There are weekly quizzes that are easy A's. He is very sweet and curves tests quite a lot.
extremely intelligent prof. knows what he teaches. tells you econs is tough. If you come to class, listen, take notes, read your textbook, work hard, you'd ace it. problem is lots of students are too lazy to work hard. Got an A.it wasnt easy but doable.excellent knowledge transfer. now I apply what he taught in real life.
Great class...very easy to follow and apply to real life examples at work and home. Spoiled brats, this course is not for you. On the other hand, if you're using college to learn how to enter into the working world and be successful, take this course - you will learn a lot!!
He is very hard to follow and he does not stay on track. Tests are extremely hard and he will tell you at the beginning of the semester he picks out the most challenging questions through the test bank. Best way to survive this class is to read the book and teach yourself. Unfortunately he is no help. Would't take if you working towards Choles.
All he does is ramble. He curves his tests IMMENSELY, but completely unfair. So if you know you fail test, you will pass his class with a C. If you know you will get C's on tests, you will pass with a C. Teach yourself everything from the book. And good luck.
He considers himself a "philosophical economist." This apparently meant that he does not teach ANYTHING he tests on. His lectures are just him talking about whatever he feels you should know that day and then he pulls up the text book PWPT for the last ten minutes and points at stuff. I had to teach myself everything... Luckily he curves tests...
Rambles on and on for the first 45 minutes of class about whatever he feels like. Doesn't write anything down, he'll take 20 minutes explaining something and say it isn't on the test. Curves all of his tests. Can't form a sentence without saying um. Won't know your grade in the class until after the final. Stay away
Do not take this class if you rely on lectures to learn. You have to learn everything on your own by reading the book. His lectures usually don't reflect anything useful for tests. Skip class, read the book, take the quizzes, and you should be good for tests. Wouldn't really recommend him though...
Loved this class. His lectures were always engaging and interesting. Kept my attention. The material he covers in class is his synopsis of what is written in the book. He doesn't make stuff up or "ramble" about nonsense. Quizzes and practice exams are instrumental. I won't hesitate to sign up for another of his classes.
Alright, so like you've guessed, you do not need to go to class to do well. If you like lectures take a different professor, if not this is the guy for you. He isn't interesting at all, and never talks about the topic relating to econ for long, but quizzes are easy and tests are mostly sampled from other econ professors so studying is easy.
The worst professor I've ever had at KSU by a mile. I took him for Micro and Macro because other classes were full. Terrible at lectures, curves tests by 15-20 points, but it still wont help you because he doesn't teach anything. Numerous times he would review tests and HE wouldn't know the answer! Part time,doesn't care. Read the book and pray.
Honest and professional
I thought the devil you do know would be a better choice for my Business Stats class but I was wrong. We're covering material that I've learned before and I still don't understand what he's talking about. Get ready for him to not know the answers, to do long division without a calculator on a TEST, and to watch him change grades on a whim.
Terrible explainer. Hard tests. Get ready to read the textbook. If you're not good at math, definitely don't take. If you rely on lectures to pass, good luck. Don't even bother showing up to class.
Seems like he knows a lot, but rambles and doesn't teach what's on the quizzes or tests. Questions are all from a test bank. Had daily quizzes during summer semester and he didn't know some of the answers to the questions.
not specific, hard test, no feedback, no help
Dr. Noiset can be a bit dry, but he is a very good professor. For the class I took, all of the tests were multiple choice. You will easily pass if you show up and read the chapters.
He's not the best professor but he's not as terrible as everyone says. However, if you want to do well, you're going to have to teach yourself the material from the book. He tends to ramble a lot in class and didn't finish teaching the material before our scheduled test dates. However, he does post practice tests online which were very helpful.
He is an okay professor. Very long lectures every class. Doesn't take attendance and you probably don't need to go to class if you understand Econ and read the book. He does give quizzes but he usually announces when they will be. He likes to discuss 'real world' info instead of just teaching out of the book.
I actually really enjoyed his class. He seems like he wings it when it comes to lectures, but he definitely knows what he's talking about. The first couple quizzes I didn't do too well on, but if you actually read the material and understand the concepts, you'll get an A (I did). Class is not mandatory, but you have to go to do well. Very nice guy.
He's quite boring in class, attendance is not necessary however he will occasionally do extra credit quizzes. Just read straight from the book as his lectures are hard to follow.
While taking his class, I noticed that a lot of his lectures and examples drawn from his lectures were taken out of the book. So if you aren't clear on something he says in class then look in the assigned book. Aside from that, he throws some jokes in here and there to make the lectures more interesting. He is very generous with extra credit!
If you show a basic understanding of econ you will pass you. Take notes on lectures and try any practice problems you can. He is a great grader and really wants everyone to make an A. He gives extra credit and curves tests if not enough people get A's.
I took this class over the summer, I needed 2 A's for my GPA. I worked hard to have a 91 average in his class. The final was in class and no formulas were provided so I ended up doing so poorly I ended up with a C in the class BECAUSE the final is 40% of your total grade and there are only 2 tests and a handful of quizzes. Honestly so disappointing
incredibly nice prof. He's the most caring teachers I ve had. He is an incredibly smart guy, he knows his stuff. could be better prepared for lectures. what worked the best was meeting personally and him showing me step by step. Go to class. He drops 2 lowest quizes. And worked with me when i needed a certain grade to get into coles. Hes great.
He comes to class with no plan, so starts talking about current events that have nothing to do with the class. Very annoying to listen to, and is extremely unorganized. He never used D2L. Class attendance was pitiful because nobody would learn anything. Two people had As in our class, only because he adjusted the grading scale. 85 A, 75 B, 55 C, .
He doesn't have actual lectures prepared. He wings it and it shows. Showing up to class wouldn't make a difference. You have to be your own teacher for this class if you want to pass. If you don't want to waste time paying someones six figure salary as you do the job they're suppose to do, then i recommend you not take this class.
Professor Noiset was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. All he did was lecture the whole class and his lectures were so unorganized that it was difficult to keep up. He grades you on 4 tests the whole semester and thesis are some of the hardest tests I've taken. I got an A in Econ 2100 but struggled to pass his class.
I only took him cause I had no other option . AVOID AT ALL COST !! I am a student who gets As and ended with a C in his class . I would study all night and still end up doing bad . His lectures are useless and expects you to know everything about macro , without any specific direction as to what to study . STAY AWAY
This professor is a nice guy. He says he cares more about us learning then our grade, which is a nice sentiment, but this idea kind of let him get away with lackluster teaching. His lectures are filled with tangents that will or won't be on the test, and make sure to go to class because he will have random in class quizzes.
The lectures were very boring. Especially at 8am. You will do fine on the exams if you really study the practice/old exams and understand the concepts tested. Going to class helped, but you could probably do fine in this class without. That being said, he did like 3/4 attendance quizzes, but they barely counted for any points.
Mr. Noiset is an awful professor. First off he rambles in his lectures and never stays on topic. His tests never cover the general idea as presented in the textbooks, just specific topics he cherry picks and puts on the test. The only saving grace is he has a lowered grading scale but people still fail horribly. Despite retaking econ I feel lost.
I took professor Noiset as a last option, and it wasn't as bad as everyone says. His lectures are god awful and he rambles about nonsense a lot, but it is a basic macro class so the tests are not that hard. If you don't mind teaching yourself then he is fine. Also grading criteria is 85A 72B 55C
He presents entertaining lectures and gives a lot of small quizzes to focus on each section.
Professor Noiset is very knowledgable and passionate about econ. I attended lectures, read the book, looked over powerpoints to earn my A with his grading curve. Gradins structure is straightforward, 1 quiz over material every week and 3 tests.
I love me some economics, but this wasn't it. Noiset didn't even teach our class. It was a bunch of lectures from other economic teachers. I liked the content, and I learn well with videos, but the tests weren't always coordinated with the lessons. Would not recommend an online class from this professor at all.
Taking this class during COVID restrictions. You can attend both in class and online, he records (with video) and posts his lectures. Goes over concepts from textbook and explains well. Tests were on par with WebAssign homework. Don't hesitate to take him. BusStat is a tough class even if you are not a numbers person, but he teaches it well.
Probably the WORST professor at KSU. He does NOT have students best interest. He does everything to make us fail. Doesnt give exam details until the very last minute. Also, announced that exam will be taken in class at the very last minute during COVID-19, when all the other exams were taken online. Would NOT take again even if the class was free.
He lets his ego get in the way of your grade. During the pandemic, He was curious on why students were doing good on his class so he change the syllabus to make the third exam the final a week before the exam and wrote all his own questions. 36 out of 100 students passed. He emailed us saying that was impressive. He let 64 students fail bc his ego.
uses other teachers vids and ppts. easy class to pass if you read the content. the extra credit at the end of the class was a good opportunity to boost my grade. the tests were not difficult. only had 3 tests and 1 quiz every week. wish there were more assignments since it was an online class.
Its tough material, but Professor Noiset is very caring and wants you to pass. Hes always available by phone and email, and takes your concern seriously. Clear grading criteria and organized class, even during covid. The people leaving bad reviews are bad students who dont know how to read the syllabus.
No. Never again. Tangent after tangent. Rarely on topic during lectures. Knowledgeable on economics, HORRIBLE at teaching. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Quizzes can have misspellings and horrible grammar.. like, what? Everyone complained about him. Good man, but how is he still working at the school for so many years .. If you take him .. good luck, Charlie.
I took Professor Noiset's class online and it was the easiest course I took that semester. If you watch the video lectures, take notes, and read the textbook, you're almost guaranteed to pass. He assigns weekly quizzes over 1-2 chapters from the textbook that cover the material week by week. Tests were all multiple choice and were not difficult.
Literally the worst professor i have ever taken. He is never on topic, is constantly on a tangent, and is awful at responding to emails. I stopped attending class and just read the textbook and did better on quizzes than when i did when I attended. Avoid him at all costs
Worst professor ive ever taken hands down. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Lectures have nothing to do with tests so get ready to teach yourself. Test average on one exam was a 48 and he only allowed a 6 question in person quiz to add 6 points on your grade if you got them all right. Gets on tangents, tests in person on paper. Dont bother taking notes wont help.
Do not take this professor unless you want to fail to be honest. He does not teach anything and then gives hard exams over things we didn't even learn. He is not understanding and does not care about his students. Our test average was like a 40 and he didn't care.
no matter what you do DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. one of our exams was averaged 48% and the exams are so hard and never include what he actually says in class. he goes on tangents and scribbles nonsense all over the board and expects us to follow what hes saying. he had us do half the class online and then switched to tests being fully in person?!
all the people leaving bad reviews are honestly just lazy. hes obviously very knowledgeable about economics, but teaches in an old school manner. the only reason he gets bad reviews is because its hard to cheat, which is understandable.
The lectures are hard to follow, but being in class is important. There are only quizzes and exams, no homework. There is a curve on the class, but the final is 40% of your grade. The material is not difficult itself, but the way it is taught is very difficult to follow.
So many people dropped this class. His lectures weren't planned and he rambled the whole time. Didn't use the textbook and people would skip class to study instead. The only grades is a weekly quiz and 3 tests, that's it, and it's all written by him. To let everyone pass he had to curve our final grades by a lot. Not too bad, wouldn't take again.
Lectures are somewhat scattered but in a way that's ridiculously informative because I never left a lecture without learning something new, and he only tests on concepts he taught in class so his expectations are clear, flexible and willing to work with any student who makes the effort to reach out.. I honestly have no idea why his rating isn't 5/5
Professor Noiset is super nice and caring!! Anyone who is writing bad reviews doesn't attend class or put in effort. You MUST attend class if you want a good grade! 90% of exams from class, and the quizzes are 100% book. He is super smart and knowledgable! If you have trouble and meet with him he genuinely takes the time to explain everything
He is great Stats teacher!!!! Super funny and charismatic, reviews things in class multiple times so we have a good understanding, allows a whole sheet of paper for formulas on each exam. He takes time after class to talk with us or answer any questions and responds to emails within 24/48 hours. If you attend class regularly and practice, easy A
Professor Noiset is very caring and wants everyone to succeed in his class, although his lecrturing style is fast paced and hard to keep up with. His test are hard, but the practice test are helpful. If you take his class, I would go int it excepting a C
DO NOT take this professor. He is terrible. He does seem like he cares but his lectures are so confusing and hard to keep up with. He thinks that if a student has a job in college then they are not a good student. He told the entire class we would not do well the first day of class and was proud of it.
He is very knowledgeable and does a great job at explaining the content. He's always happy to answer questions and is always available to answer questions outside of class. His tests are largely based off of what he discusses in class so make sure you come to them and you will do fine.
Please dont waste your money taking this guys course he is all over the place during lectures and we had like 12 people out of 164 students make a B or higher on his last Exam. He had to curve everyones grade in order for people to pass. He is MID
As an A and B student all throughout high school, this was quite literally the worst class I have ever been in. He does want everyone to pass the class, but his tests are so hard and he is so out of touch with the students. I would not recommend.
Just dont take this class. Save yourself the trouble
He's honestly not as bad as the ratings here indicate. All of the questions on the quizzes and exams come straight from the textbook, so you really just have yourself to blame if you don't understand. The class average on the final was around a 50, but he curved everyone's grade to get at least a C in the class.
Very repetitive in class, its very boring and dull. All the quizzes you have to read the online textbook to pass, each quiz is over 2-4 chapters. Dropped the class because I couldnt handle it.
I strongly advise not taking this professor. He has very boring lectures and is not willing to help students. With such a slow tone it is almost impossible to listen for more than 10 minutes. The tests are very difficult and are in person. The only way to get above a 70 in this class is to study the textbook and by teaching yourself.
Honestly, I dropped the class because I would fail every assignment. I even tried looking up the answers and would still fail. I would not take him unless you are super interested in econ and want to challenge yourself.
Absolutely horrible teacher avoid him if u can, thank me later
This course should not be this difficult, it is a 2 credit course that is mandatory for business majors. The entire course is based on 3 tests basically. The average for all of our tests was below a 70. Not sure how anyone is supposed to pass... Try to get someone else if you can. All other classes were full when I tried to, so I was stuck in it.
Overall an amazing professor!
I absolutely loved this class! I joined later in the semester before add/drop for another credit and I am glad I did. Although it was a 5 o'clock class, it was pretty enjoyable for the most part. Some classes I could care less and others I was totally enthralled. If you like economics then you'll like this class.
He's honestly not as bad as people make him seem to be. The tests are in-person with no notes. He gives plenty of resources though. He has the tests from years ago to use as practice. Once we took our tests he also returned them to us for us to keep which I really appreciated. There are weekly quizzes. Final grades are also curved.
If you do not live, breathe, sleep Econ do not take this class! His homework takes hours to complete. 50% of his questions on test he makes so good luck finding how to do them. His lectures offer nothing to the class. Quizzes open Friday, and have to take by Sunday, so worry about school on your weekends! I am a 4.0 student and this class SUCKS!
Online class is strictly graded, and it sucks. Quizzes were only open fridays and tests sat-sun so say goodbye to your weekend. There is literally no way to contact him either as he doesnt respond to text, email, or call even though he is available anytime and gave his number in the syllabus. Honestly... don't take him at all. Worst professor @ ksu
I love this professor so much! He really takes the time to help us understand the topics. Overall, 10/10 teacher! Would definitely take him again! Thank you professor Noiset!
honestly if you have the choice to take his class, do yourself a favor and don't do it. all this guy does is yap about off-topic subjects and sometimes won't start talking about econ until the last 20 minutes of class. you really have to read the textbook if you want to learn anything. only graded on weekly quizzes and tests. 0/10 do not recommend
DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is very kind, but he cannot teach. In class he doesn't talk about anything relevant to test or quizzes. You have quizzes every weekend that aren't worth anything really. Then there's two test and a final exam. If he is your only option just wait another semester to take a better professor or take it online.
Very good teacher, he graduated from the University of Connecticut so he has a very good academic background.
avoid at all costs.
if your looking to learn everything on your own then you should take this class however the textbook is like reading Harry Potter. it is long, and confusing and Professor Noiset does not teach well. He seems like a good guy but I think it might be time to retire.
The only reason I'd say his class is easy is because he curves the entire class grade. I think the final grade you need to get an A in his class is like a 84 or something and as long as you get a 50 something you should pass. But his lectures are pretty meaningless though because he easily gets sidetracked, so no one shows up because of this.
Each Thursday and Friday he releases a quiz and a test. He releases each one on the exact day and it closes on the same day. The Khan Academy, the hour-long lectures, and the textbook chapters he posts don't even cover all of the material he puts on the quizzes and tests. To top it all off, you can't even see the questions you got wrong to review.
Horrible... like dude... he should be fired. EXTREMLEY UNORGANIZED!!!! He walks into class late almost every exam day, and questions out loud if he has the right test or not. He words the tests himself, his wording is hard to understand. All he does is YAP during the lectures, and goes so off topic almost every time. impossible to ace this class.
Challenges persist in online courses as Professor Noiset, though passionate, relies on outdated material and lacks tech-savviness. Weekly assessments can be mismatched, requiring constant communication for success. Consider alternatives for a smoother learning experience."
Only take this class if you have little intent to actually learn about macroeconomics and more to just get it out of the way. His lectures consist of the same four topics that become painfully redundant to sit through. He gives 3 exams and one final worth 20%. There are semi-weekly quizzes that will help you a lot. Exams on scantrons. He curves!!!
There is no point in attending class; I don't mean this as an insult, but he stutters and repeats himself a LOT. I would highly recommend just taking a different professor. Tests took up 90% of our final grade.
Graded by weekly quizzes (online), 3 exams (in person), the midterm/final (in person). Attendance isn't mandatory but highly recommended, he can be a little scattered. Test are based off what he says in class and situational questions. It's good to read the textbook before class to understand. Works with students shifts grading scale to help them.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. If you do for whatever awful reason don't go to class, you are better off reading the textbook. Professor Noiset is means well but often goes on long off topic tangents that take up all of the class time. Only getting to economics in bits and pieces. Never stays on topic. Tests are over 6 chapters each as opposed to 3 or 2.
Just an all around good person
Terrible, do not take him. An hour and 15 long class with the majority of it no material being discussed in a cohesive or understandable manner. I don't understand how a professor of such low quality is able to get away with keeping their job tbh.
Was more focused on making sure no one was cheating rather than teaching and making sure paying students understood the material. I overall felt like he was playing with everyone's grade honestly with no care. Expected everyone to know material without it being taught purposefully made everything 10x difficult and challenging than it needed to be.
Luc's class can be a mixed bag, but using Unstuck study along with the textbook and lecture videos really helped me stay on top of the material. Exams are tough, but he curves grades.
Every class is a lecture. He is very scatter brained so it is extremely hard to follow along. Shares his political opinions. Lectures are boring and so hard to learn from. No assignments, just a quiz at the end of every week and 3 exams. Does curve the tests but it is so necessary because everyone fails.
Stay away from this class. There are no grades other than the weekly quizzes and 3 in-person tests. He claims the tests are lecture and textbook-based but he doesn't go into the textbook at all throughout the semester and barely teaches in class. He has a stutter and says 'Uh um" a lot. If you do take this class be prepared to learn on your own.
Don't take his class. The lectures don't help at all. And the tests are very hard. I did well in Econ 1000 that's why I know what I'm saying.
So hard, everyone fails the tests but he curves your end grade so if you have a 50+ you will pass but so hard to make a B and up. Lectures ever-day, scatterbrained, study material is pretty much nothing like the tests. Super hard to know what the review for exams. I got a 104 in econ 1000 so this class should not be nearly as hard as it is
This is the epitome of a professor you DO NOT want at a university. His lectures are all over the place and he possess a strong inability to separate his professional life, with his political life. He personally called me out based on my own political views and turned multiple students against me in multiple lectures. Switch your class ASAP!
Honestly a lot of reviews are very negative but I really enjoyed this class and I did well in it. Attendance is not mandatory, so a lot of people stopped coming after like week 2. It's just a class that's very exam heavy, but the lowest exam gets replaced by the final. Probably like a 6/10
Please stay away. He should retire... He can't complete a sentence in full. His class is all over the place he will go off topic a lot. His assignments are poorly structured in d2l with stuff everywhere. I've never seen a professor do such a bad job. I will be reporting him to the Dean.
Doesn't directly teach, you will remember more random stuff said than anything that would be on the quiz. Repeats irrelevant information.
He told our class we were all going to be McDonalds workers when we grow up because we did bad on the test
horrible, would write an essay on everything I dislike.
I really liked prof. Noiset. As long as you participate in class and actually care about understanding the material, he is really kind. He does go on rants sometimes, but they're kind of funny. The biggest thing is to show up to class! He is very lecture-heavy and it will be hard to pass the exams if you don't come to class.
