everything str8 from lectures...dont really need to read the book...just read summaries at the end of chapters. all his examples lead to engalnd this and england that...but knows his stuff...Hard midterms and final...but curves fairly.

seems like his teaching methods have changed. He is funny

Extremely knowledgeable. I learned a ton, although a bit harder than most profs at SJSU.

This is a great instructor. He is always very enthusiastic about the material and he is hilarious at times. Yes the tests are somewhat difficult. But this instructor is always willing to help you. If are going to at least read the book, take the quizzes, and attend class then this is the professor for you.

A great class. Mark is a charming soul, energetic to the last drop, endearing, funny, and a wonderful instructor. Clear, fair, and fun. I would recommend his Deanza College Microeconomics class to anyone.

Awesome professor for Winter Session. Can tell he know the material very well. His lecture does get boring sometimes. Do keep up on the reading. He gives an outline of the chapter you've just read.

Excellent class. I was moderately interested in the subject prior to taking this class, now I may take more. Very helpful. Willing to go out of his way to help students.

I was skeptical about this class at first due to his background. But once you progress through his course, you'll learn the basic strategies for passing his course. EXTREMELY lenient with his grading process. Meaning, I DON'T know how I got a B+ after barely attending class and C average on major exams. He curves every midterm. Take him!

Prof. Brady works extremely hard on making his class time productive.He gives quizes every week so that people who are willing to work hard, get an opportunity to get decent grades.He has some interesting insites about Economics and history.I think you need to be a well read in order to do well on his exams, but he gives you plenty of chances to do

very enthusiastic but needs to get better structure in his lesson plan. Some of the exam questions are downright weird. Seems to be an easy grader and wants his students to do well. Might be better suited to teaching economic history type classes rather than macroeconomic concepts unless he commits to a more structured lecture format.

great professor with lots of experience. take his classes if you can.

Overall a very knowledgeable professor. He has a lecture style that is prone to tangents, albeit interesting tangents, so you have to be vigilant to not miss anything. You really need to read the book and attend every class in order to do well on the quizzes and tests. You really need to work hard in Prof. Brady's class. A very fair curve, though.

I was only taking this class because I was really far down on the registration tier and needed GE units, but it really sparked my interest in economics. Brady is a very knowledgeable professor, and I enjoyed his lectures. He's a fair grader as long as you attend all classes, because there's a quiz at the start of almost every lecture.

Professor Brady is top-notch. He knows his discipline, is very well read and also at times class is pretty fun. A lot of reading, but very intellectually stimulating. Exams and quizzes aren't cake walks, but he's one of those guys you can tell wants you to do well, showing in his grading structure and EXTREME attention to creating course material.

I had Professor Brady for Econ 1B. He's a fantastic teacher! He is extremely fair, he frequently teaches from the quizzes, will give you all the quiz answer papers at the end of the semester to study from, he always emails reminders about quizzes, and is fun to listen to in lecture. The tangents are interesting. A pretty decent 9am class for me.

This guy is a boss and is pretty funny! He makes class as fun as Econ is ever going to be and his grading system is AWESOME. Grade is based on 25 quizzes (he drops the 10 worst!) which he will often give you answers to, 2 midterms, a final, a term paper, and desire2learn homework. Pretty EASY A and hes a great guy!!!

Very helpful on daily quizzes. A lot of assignments, so if one does bad on an exam, the other assignments help raise your grade. Wanders during lecture often. Uses every last minute of class, never let's us go early. Overall, great and helpful professor.

Brady is a very good professor. Though he often lets his lectures wander off-topic, he is well read on many subjects of economics and you will still learn a lot in his class. He knows a ton about economic history so you regularly will get to hear how contemporary developing countries compare to the West, which is very interesting.

He is a great, kind and very helpful professor. He works hard to make sure his students succeed. This is not an easy "A" class but with daily quizzes, attendance points and extra credit assignment, I think most people would do well in his class. He is very passionate about this subject and I enjoyed his lectures. I highly recommend him.

I took Brady's econ class in the fall. He has a very strong an passionate understanding of economics. He recognizes anyone who actually puts in time to read and do the work. If you aren't stupid, like half the rest of the students and actually crack the book open once in a while its an easy A.

Prof.Brady is one of the best professors. I had a BS degree in Oceanography and Geology, taking Micro-Econ class for the knowledge.Prof Brady has lots of passion for the subject and teaching. He is so knowledge able. I have learned so much. A rare and valuable professor Though he does tangent out but if you pay attention, everything is connected.

He is very eager in helping his students and wants to see you succeed. He loves teaching and has a British accent and makes constant jokes during class as Econ can be extremely boring. Very good teacher. Gives quizzes every class to help your grade.

I love Mr. Brady. He has such a large knowledge base and passion for economics. Although, it is true that he gets off topic and goes on tangents. His class was difficult in that he covered so much information, but easy in that he curves the class and throws out so many of your quiz scores.

He is a really nice guy, yes talks a lot, but always teaches what he need to. Quiz in every class but only takes best 15. And many times helps you out with what will be on the quiz before you take it. Tests are a lot more complicated than the quizzes but if u study u will be fine. He is open to help you out! take both 1a and 1b w/him very similar

Mark is a great teacher! Although he may go off into tangents, he tries to make the class successful! You have about 35 quizzes and he takes the best 15. The exams are a bit hard but they're based on the quizzes, so study the quizzes! He grades on a curve, which is always helpful. A few extra credit points which is also helpful!

Brady was clear on his grading system and cares about his students. He's an easy grader and doesn't make it impossible to pass his class. Best Econ teacher at state.

Quiz every class but only counts the best 15. It's actually a very good teaching method because it forces you to really pay attention to the material, plus he practically gives you the answers before handing out the quiz. Very fair grader, understanding, and very helpful. I learned a lot from his class. I recommend you take him!

Professor Brady is very knowledgeable. His lecture is long, and he goes over the knowledge point very fast. He is very nice and willing to help people. He have a lot quiz this semester but he will drop the lowest 5!!!Take him. Be prepare to read the book, and you will be fine.

Will go off topic quite a bit at every lecture, but for the most part, Brady does a fine job explaining the concepts. Overall, you have roughly 34+ quizzes (top 15 scores count), 2 midterms of around 50 questions, one term paper, and a non-cumulative final exam. Grades are curved and he does offer extra credit. A 90 percent is an A grade.

easy class and force you to work for it, easy quizzes everyday also and very helpful when you need him

Prof Brady is loose on participation but he does give quizzes in every class. There are 30+ quizzes in total and allowing you to drop 15 quizzes. His tests come from questions on quizzes so studying quizzes is the best way to pass the exam as well as class. He does offer extra credits.

I like this guy and I will tell you why. There is no hidden secrets to getting an A. He tells you what he expects and by a week you'll get the hang of it. Quizzes every class but he gives you the answers during his lecture. And the tests are just the quizzes. He genuinely cares about his students and is super nice. TAKE HIM!

He was a very, very boring professor but it was very easy to get an A. There's an online component which isn't too bad (he gives you 100% if you average a B in the online course)

Professor Brady is something. His lectures are usually very engaging. Expect daily quizzes. The finals are very much alike the daily quizzes you will take. You will need your textbook, but he does teach content beyond the book most of the time.

Professor Brady is a great Econ professor. He does go on tangents very often, but they usually correlate to the lesson at hand. You will use the textbook very often and the Sapling homework is based upon what he teaches in class. Exams are curved, 15 of the best 32 quizzes are entered into the gradebook to determine overall grade. Take him!

Basically, there's a quiz after EACH lecture. He literally gives the answers to every question on the quiz during that lecture which can be good and bad since it means you have to listen to his every word! But he only takes the best 15 out of 30 so its easy to get 100% in that category. YOU MUST READ THE TEXTBOOK TO PASS HIS EXAMS.

He's very friendly and easy to talk to. While he goes on tangents, his quizzes and exams are very easy.

He goes off topic a lot, but you should try to listen in because he will basically give you the answers to the quizzes. Quizzes are easy because it's mostly based on the book and lecture; I mostly remember defining terms. I took Econ 1A with him and he doesn't let you out of class early, sometimes even lets you out a little late. He's nice though.

He is a solid teacher! He goes over every quiz before you take them. You take over 30 quizzes and only 15 of your best ones count. However, tests are tough and you need to study. One term paper that is 1600-2000 words, which isn't that bad and is graded generously. I would take him again

I took Brady's econ course in the winter session so I was expecting it to be really hard & boring but he made one of my least favorite subjects surprisingly interesting. Gives a lot of quizzes every day but he goes over the answers right before so pay careful attention. 2 midterms and a final. 2nd midterm was hard! One paper, easy grader. Great! :)

Had the opportunity to take Brady for four classes. Probably one of the easier professors in the department. You get 2 midterms 15% each which are all based on the quizzes. A total of 30 quizzes and he takes best 15 for 30%. (Some take-homes). One term paper 25% of grade but you get 5% just for doing a proposal and a final worth 15%.

I took him for almost all my econ classes. Curves his test so much that a 55% in his class is a C+. You take 30 quizzes and he only counts 15 of them. ALWAYS , i mean ALWAYS gives extensions on papers. Im talking 2-3 week extensions. Best professor ever. I freaking love this guy man.

Professor Brady. Man oh man! As a professor, he was ok. As a person, he was great. Gives extensions on the term paper if you ask. 2 midterms (quite difficult b/c of his wording) & 30+ quizzes (a few take-home) but takes the best 15. Show up to class & READ the chapters/handouts! One con? You don't know your grade till the end of the semester :/

Just went to his office hours for the first time before my final tomorrow. He kindly gave me a quiz that I was missing. Also answered and explained every question on the quizzes I had trouble with. Just go to every class he explains everything on the quiz before you take it. Study the quizzes and textbook for exams and finals. Would take again

Professor Brady makes microecon fun and interesting. He is a great professor and should be a first choice for any econ student

Took his 5 week summer class and we had 23 quizzes, about 4/5 a week (he kept the best 10 or 15), two midterms, and a final. The class isn't difficult as long as you read the book and pay attention to his lectures. He cares about his students and tries to help everyone learn the material. No math required. Recommend him for ECON 102.

Professor Brady is unlike most other Econ professors in his methods, but his teaching is quite effective and engaging. His lectures are only verbal, there are not really slideshows or writing on the whiteboard. His lectures are dense, but he makes it a point to teach you a lot and make sure thingd stick with you. He is always available and greay

A very passionate professor, but his lectures can get very content heavy.

Professor Brady is a super nice guy. He lectures based exclusively on the chapters in the textbook which is great. However, my issue is the quizzes you take daily are worded very differently than he lectures and it gets very confusing. Exams are just recycled quizzes with words swapped. I hope he can get the retirement he dreams of soon!

I like his lectures for the most part. Things move quickly and it's a bit tough but not too bad

Professor Brady is a very charismatic man. Going to his lectures is always a pleasant surprise because you never know what's in store. He is the main character. In all honesty, I feel like reading the textbook is more clear than the lectures he gives. Otherwise, he slays.

He's very British. The material got a little hard to understand at times but nothing that couldn't be handled, and his personality made lectures interesting. A lot of quizzes but they're all open note and he drops the lowest.

he seems to be a great professor - his lectures are on point and not too bad for a morning class. he is not too familiar with canvas, which is unfortunate, so he uploads materials in bulk right before exams, which was a problem before the final. there are still no grades in canvas right now, and I have no idea what it could be. daily quizzes.
