no book. no homework. Bonus points. NEVER there the whole time. What more do you want?
Greatness. Optional final, so if you have a grade that your okay with at the end of three tests, your done. 5 point bonus quizzes before each test and he adds it to the test score. No book to buy, so although attendance is not mandatory, you need to go to get the notes. No problem though, seeing as for most classes you get out 30 min. early. Takeit
this was one of my fav. classes. i wasnt even interested in econ when i took this class, and now i am !. he has 4 tests including the final and drops the lowest one. he has 3 extra credit bonus quizzes (so easy). if you like your average after 3 tests you dont have to take the final. very easy, tests similar to notes if not exactly the same.takehim
pretty easy prof.
great teacher, very easy class. He teaches it to you like your a fifth teacher, yet we know much more than other classes
Best Class EVER! i was all worried before going into econ having heard horror stories about other professors and universities but Agee is awesome! he doesn't waste your time with unncessary bullsh*t, teaches you what you need to know then let's you leave. Pretty much pure awesomeness.
My favorite professor by far. Unbelievably easy of a class. The class is an 1hr and 15 minutes and he never takes longer than 45 minutes. He teaches what is needed and doesn't add anything that you won't need to know later on. He's so awesome, take him!
Awesome! his lectures are so easy to understand. he explains everything so that a 5th grader could get it and his tests are basically the same as the handouts. best class ever! always lets out early too
Easy class. Went to class literally 6 times and got a B
hes so awesome, honestly best econ teacher by far, tests are easy if you listen to him and gives extra credit quiz before test. always lets you leave early too
BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD
This class is so easy. You don't have to go to class and you can still manage to get a good grade. He gives you worksheets that are pretty much used on the tests. Definitely take him!
Easy, simple, and straight forward. 3 tests and a final. Be sure to take notes. Also gives out practice sheets and study guides for tests. Easy A. The one downside, his voice is monotone which makes for an extremely boring class.
Awesome professor! There are three exams and a final exam, which is optional. All of the quizzes are extra credit. You dont even really need the book. As long as you go to class, take good notes, and do the worksheets you should be able to pass this class easily! Class can be boring, but its not the professor, Econ is just boring sometimes.
This guy is awesome! His goal is to make sure everyone in the class does well. Optional final, it can only help your grade because he takes off the lowest exam grade. Sometimes you get lost in his monotonousquiet voice, so I would look over your notes, but I hardly ever did, and got away with a B in the class. Definitely suggest taking his class.
really nice guy & probably the easiest econ class you could take
Agee is the best prof for ECON102. His 75 minute classes usually only last 20-40 minutes. He tells you everything on the test so as long as you study the day of your'e fine. He will help you if you don't understand something. Only downside is his personality can be a little boringshy, but you can tell he makes an attempt to interact w his students
Mark is the best econ teacher you could have. I showed up for most classes (which never lasted more than 45 minutes) and had no problem passing. He is very boring but his class and tests are extremely easy with almost no studying required. He gives 4 tests and drops the lowest one and gives 3 extra credit quizzes. He is the best! NO TEXTBOOK!
Prof. Agee is a great teacher and is a good fit for each of his courses. Expect plenty of opportunities to catch an easy A with bonus-point-quizes and multiple choice tests. Getting an A on three of the four exams will guarantee you an A, you don't even have to show up and take the exam!
Easiest class ever. He gives you everything straight up. The rest is a little bit of simple math. Pay attention in class and you'll get it. I didn't pay attention at all, and sometimes didn't show up, and still got away with a B. I could only imagine the grade I would've gotten if I'd tried! So easy. Definitely recommend.
No homework, three exams over the semester plus the final and one is dropped, doesn't check attendance. Easy class if you are good at test taking, terrible if you suck. Class also was cut short every class never went the full time.
Easiest professor ever! There is four exams including the final and only counts the top three scores. You aren't required to take the final. Extra credit quizzes throughout semester. Classes usually last 45 minutes. Go to class and you will never need to study for an exam.
If you are a first year - first semester student, beware of how the bus scheduling works. His classes usually end very early; leaving you to sit and wait for almost an hour for the bus. On top of that, class isn't mandatory; making it very tempting to skip. Don't make I made in skipping too many classes. It's an easy A as long as you show up.
Be sure to attend most of the classes because the class is lecture heavy. Only had three tests and then the final. Extra credit was available before each test in class. Extremely nice guy and definitely take another one of his classes.
Super cool guy. 3 exams and the final is optional, class always ended like 30 minutes early. Extra credit quizzes before each test and he uploads most handouts on angel. No homework and attendance is not mandatory but do show up to class, he gives you everything you need to know for the exams.
Awesome Professor. Almost no homework, reading textbook is the only optional homework to do.
Mark is an extremely good teacher. He goes at a pace where we can keep up. He is also a very easy test giver. 3 tests per year, and the final is completely optional. He gives no homework, takes no attendance and has only extra credit quizzes. Definitely would recommend this prof. to another student. Free A if you just try the slightest bit.
He gives you everything thats on the test so as long as you study and do the worksheets you'll be fine, extra credit quizzes and drops your lowest exam grade
Mark is awesome. He gives study guides that - if you study - you will pass with flying colors. He's straightforward and doesn't teach anything you don't need to know. He gives extra credit in class occasionally. Seriously, take Mark.
I took Econ 102 with a different professor and had a D+ until I decide to drop late in the semester. Mark made me understand Econ and after having him I got a B almost a B+. 100% take him! Lots of extra credit and a 82% is a B+ not a B-. You can't do bad in him class!
Professor Agee is an awesome professor and does an excellent job of teaching the material. The big issue with the class is there are a total of 5 assignments; 2 tests and 3 homework assignments, so you have to do good on all of them if you want a good grade. Really caring professor though and is more than willing to help you out.
I learned so much in this class. We got out early every day. He breaks down the material, and he wants you to understand it. 4 tests are the only grades (drop the lowest), but he gives bonus. Super good review guide is given, and he reviews in class a day before the test. Tests are easy if you pay attention and study a bit. Great choice for Econ!
Very laid back and understanding!
Overall smart man, very chill. Go to class or not you will be fine
Attendance not mandatory, no homework or participation points. There's 4 exams including the Final, theres extra credit option on the exam.
If you attend class, you can easily get an A.
Take Dr. Agee!! Attendance is not graded. 3 midterms and a final, but only 3 exams are mandatory so you aren't required to take the final. Lectures are clear yet boring. Study guides and review days before every exam -- study and attend review days because the only grades in this class are the exams. Do that to pass. Extra credit on each exam.
Amazing teacher, but in order to pass you have to attend class. Only graded by 4 exams, one gets dropped. He's such an easy teacher. all his tests are multiple choice. if you do well on the first 3 exams you do not have to take the final, as one exam gets dropped.
ALSOLUTELY LOVE HIM He is such an amazing tenured professor, he put material online if needed, and always emailed back quickly. He never failed to answer questions and always made sure that the whole room was able to understand the material. Loved him so much that I made such to have him again in Econ 302!!
He is an amazing professor you really cannot go wrong with choosing him. If you can take him for any class choose him every time as he makes it very easy to get an A as long as you go to class and take notes for the 4 tests (Including 1 Final). He is my absolute favorite professor and he really cares about his students.
He is spectacular, I took this class in my freshman year after his 102 class, and I can confidently say he is one of the best professors. He always thanks us for showing up for the lectures, and he is so helpful when a topic isnt understood. We had maybe 3 homeworks over the whole semester, and the rest was exam grades. 10/10 recommend
The only grade in this class is based on three exams. The exams are really easy trust me, also the final is optional if you are satisfied with your grade before finals week. I love him and absolutely recommend him for everyone who will take ECON.
Agee is very good at teaching. Took the average of the best 3 exams for your final letter grade.
Professor Agee is great at breaking down complex topics. His lectures are a bit dry but the tests are easy if you go to class!
Professor Agee lectured well and gave extremely helpful study guides for the exams. No homework or extra assignments, only graded through 3 exams (3 extra credit questions each). Super nice guy and usually dismissed the class early when finished with the lesson.
The only graded assignments are three exams and an optional final. If you don't do well on the exams, you'll do poorly in the class. Attendance was not counted against you but I would recommend coming to class.
Professor Agee was amazing for econ 102. I took the class as a engineering major for a gen ed. The only things graded are the three exams. If you pay attention to the lectures and do the side work you will get very high grade. Don't be afraid to ask questions and participate in class. He cares about his students and goes above and beyond.
Professor Agee makes ECON102 a breeze. Exams are the only grades, but he provides helpful study guides and extra credit. Attending class is a must, but the lectures are straightforward. I found Unstuck ai great for test prep along with the review sessions.
he's one of the best at Penn state. he's amazing
Easily one of my favorite professors ever. Great at explaining concepts, and the reviews for tests are amazing. He is accessible for makeups and is very lenient. He is a genuine and kind guy who has a love for economics and clearly shows it.
