He is a very knowledgeable and engaging professor. He actually teaches the material rather than to simply lecture it. Given such, you will have to actually show up, take notes, read the assigned text and his notes (notes he provide in a packet) to actually pass the class. If you take this class seriously, you will actually learn something and be able to take away some knowledge about economics from this class. I would definitely recommend taking him for any economics course, not just Econ 2100

3 exams, 50 questions each. No curves or extra credit, unless you participate in class often & he remembers your name. Hes annoying & likes to make fun of students but he's very knowledgeable about the course. No attendance, if you just do 5 practice exams from the course packet & memorize the answers, you'll basically pass with a B or higher.

These reviews are way off. I never came to class and pulled a B+ just from studying the review tests. He literally gives you every single test he's given, and a lot of the questions repeat. So just memorize the patterns for 5 hours the day before and you're good.

Int. Macro is a tough class but he explains well and wants students to understand. He uploads EVERYTHING to BB so if you skip class it's not the end of the world. He really provides students with so many resources and reviews before tests.

I'm not sure how he received positive reviews. Marc fox is *very boring* and he only grades you based on 3 exams. Also, there is no extra credit and no way to bring up your grade. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone.

I didn't pay attention to his lectures at all, but if you study the past exams you can figure out how to do all of the questions/memorize the patterns to how the answers work. The lectures are actually pretty good and he's an interesting person. Definitely better than some other professors I've had

After 2 weeks into the class, I stopped showing up. All you need is the review packet, it is very detailed and you can see a pattern in the questions. He gives two midterms and one final. I would recommend taking this class online.

STAY AWAY!!!! YOUR GRADE WILL BE BASED ON 3 EXAMS. If you're a bad test taker don't take his classes. I only showed up 3 times on zoom because his class was boring and dull. His lectures are long and tbh I didn't learn anything from his class because I was asleep.

Your entire grade is based off of three exams, there's no homework, assignments or extra credit and attendance doesn't count. His exams are superrrrr hard, so hard he had to curve everyones grade cause of how bad majority of us did. He also calls on you randomly during lecture and puts you on the spot!!!! Take him at your own risk.

lol I learned more things that are unrelated things such as geogrophy, food, sports than economics. Get ready to hear stuff like Ready? Agreed? 1000 times per class. Transitions from Tennis to food to 9/11 are very common. It is like a roller coaster ride...

Give exams and they are hard. 3 to 4 exam in one semester and the notes are not organize. He is a very boring professor that gives hard exam and will call on you in class even if your hand are not up.

Great professor. The class consists of 3 exams, and you're grade is dependant on those 3 exams. If you attend class the exams will be a piece of cake. He also posts identical practice exams so that you can ace the exam.

Professor Fox is a great professor! Attendance isn't mandatory, charismatic, and he only grades you off three exams, however, it's identical to the course packet that he gives to his students. Study the packet and you should pass the class; potentially even receive an A. Definitely would take him again!

His wording can be very complex to dissect, he explains it like you are a Harvard scholar but he grades students on only 3 tests that are very passible if you study. He gives you a course packet very identical to the actual exams. Other than that, the guy is hilarious, and passionate on the subject he teaches. He will be patient with you as well

Don't understand why he has such a low rating. He doesn't take attendance, grades only based on 3 exams, provides a course packet that contains "practice" exams which are identical to the actual exam and to top it off, is one of the most accidentally funny people i've ever met

This professor is kind, caring, and funny. He only grades three exams, which was pretty challenging for me, but thankfully, he provides many study packets of previous exams, and those helped me understand the concepts a lot better.

The professor was alright. VERY lecture heavy. He speaks too fast sometimes as well. You're only going to be graded on three exams, the grading curve is generous though that doesn't make the contents any easier. The free practice exams he provides are are indeed very similar to the in class exams.

Every time I went to his class I wanted to CRY. He writes everything on the board in a really messy way, talks super fast, and his explanations are way too complicated to understand. He gives a course packet with 17 past exams of the 2 midterms and the final. He doesn't give extra credit, and his midterms are graded by raw score. JUST DON'T.

The professor is nice and really passionate, but the course itself is hard, attendance is not mandatory and honestly, like everyone said, lectures don't help. He does give a course packet and the exams are identical to it, study that and you should be good, exams are hard tho, no assignments either
