if you truely want to learn subject take him. you don't have to read the book, just pay attention in class

Great teacher. Awesome. You actually learn something in his class and not just get an easy "A" like in Begashaw's class. I took Micro with him and liked the subject and his teaching so much that I took Macro with him too. Take him, especially if ECON is your major.

At First, I thought Mark Healy was hard, but after getting used to his teaching style and his tests ge turned out to be easy. If you are willing to study a lot and complete difficult work it is possibler to get an A like me.

All you dumb kids that say this class isn't easy either do not attend class or are not talking about any of Mark's classes. I took Micro with him last fall three tests plus a final, quizzes, and that's it. I never cracked a book and got almost a hundred percent for my final grade. The tests are entirely from what he teaches in class.

I personally believe that Mark is a good teacher, you really have to just attend "class". If you dont do the study guide problems, well I can almost assure you that you will fail the tests. THE QUESTIONS IN THE STUDY GUIDE ARE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE QUESTIONS ON THE TESTS.

I took the online cultural geography class w/ him last year, and I thought he was very helpful. The class was easy if you read carefully and answered the questions thoroughly.

wonderful teacher, very helpful, very clear, the best thing about him is that he makes very simple things kind of complicated so u can look at simple problems from different angles, love this teacher

If you actually want to learn something you should take this teacher. If your just looking for an easy "A" then take someone else. Very helpful and enjoyed having him.

Good teacher, good lectures, but very and I mean VERY hard tests. No matter how hard you study you will probably get around 70 - 80 %

if u do the work youll get an A.. he either gives you an A or F on every paper but you can rewrite them all until you get an A. tests aren't nearly as hard as most people say. nice guy, good teacher, would take him again

Good teacher! He is clear and makes something as complicated as micro-economics seem like a piece of cake. His examples are great..though his jokes sometimes aren't

This class was horrible! He makes a simple and fun subject like Geography way too complicated and hard for no reason. He did seem very unapproachable and distance. His test are long and difficult, your fingers will cramp up answering all his essay questions. Skip this professor by all means necessary.

I was in his blended class and i spent twice as much time in preperation in this class than i did in any other class i've taken so far. He gives very good examples and presents the information clearly. You have to practice and do the homework just like any other class. very difficult but you will learn a lot about economics.

This class covers a lot of info but you also learned a lot! You have to work hard to get an A in this class. It is worth it at the end!

There was a lot of text book reading involved and it seemed like I did not do well on the tests but it's true what he said... Keep doing the quizzes until you get all the points. In the end I got a B. Overall great teacher and interesting class.

He's pretty easy for an online class. He let's us redo the assignments as many times as we want before it's due and takes the highest score. Same with tests, although those have a limit on how many times you can take them. I really enjoyed this class!

If you're an Economics major this is the professor to take. He uses examples from real life to help explain concepts during his lectures. You'll be required to read newspaper articles discussing the economy & apply your knowledge. This comes in very handy as you progress onward in your major. Do the reading, pay attention, & you'll learn alot.

I took the online summer class. It was a lot of work in a short amount of time, but I don't think it was as hard as some of the comments on here. Most of his test questions came from review work, so if you study, you should get an A. I got an A in the class and put in about 15 hours a week study time (summer class)

I believe he did go through the material well enough that made this class enjoyable and insightful. If you participate in class, read the book and do the study guide, you will do well. A lot of the questions on tests and quizzes came from the required activities, so make sure do them. He is very helpful during office hours.

i had some bad eco teachers, and he is the best one. Eco is a hard subject to follow, and he points out the important staff, and if you pay attention to him, you will do good.

Online class, professor was EXTREMELY helpful with anything I asked. Responded to emails within hours. Gave extensions, not a hard grader, allowed test retakes. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

Study for test and you'll be fine, use his online exam reviews!!

Mark is a good teacher, but be prepared to work! We had 1-1.5 hours of videos to watch before class, two quizzes each day(class met 1/wk), and four exams. He explains the material well and his tests are fair, if your prepared. Overall a very good teacher if you want to learn the material, but make sure you have time in your schedule.

I took an online class this summer. A lot of material can be overwhelming at first but as long as you read the book and do the practice exercises you will do good. The professor was always answering to questions and is very flexible and trying to help. I would take him.

Mr. Healy is a great Econ teacher. He goes off on tangents about skiing or drinking, but I find them hilarious! He explains things in an easy and clear way to understand.

I took this class online and thought it was laid out very well for an online course. He was quick to respond to any issues or questions. I used the book mostly for reference- the online lectures are sufficient for most of the chapters. Do the practice quizzes and yellow pages and you will do ok.

Only about half the students who started actually maded it throught the year. He is a fair teacher and he teaches you everything thats on the tests so go to class. Dont really need to buy the book I never used it. For micro WATCH THE VIDEOS They really do help. Tests are based of required activities so do them and study them. Lets you retake tests

Healys reviews are far too low. He is a great professor and you will do fine if you go to class. The people complaining about him are most likely lazy and not willing to learn. Material is hard but he lets you retake exams, rewrite papers and gives no homework. I took him for both macro and micro and I would recommend you do the same! Dont buy book

Healy lets you retake all 3 exams, rewrite all 4 papers until you get 100% on them, and you can tell he enjoys teaching economics. There is a lot of material so studying and doing your part outside of class is mandatory!! Don't buy the book but do watch the videos and do the online quizzes. He uses the quizzes to write the test questions!

I loved Healy. He is such a fair teacher its almost impossible to fail. If you're lazy, well then yeah you might as well drop it now. He lets you re-do everything: The tests, the papers, the required activities. He gives you a clear path to passing. Pay attention. Do the required activities. Do the yellow pages, and you are set.

Took ECO211 online and passed with an A. Required activities and quizzes are taken online from home and the exams are on campus. I asked him 1 question all semester, so I can't really say wether he's helpful or not. I would take him again.

Econ is a tough class, but Healy breaks it down into manageable pieces. All the papers have very clear instructions on what he wants and you can rewrite them as many times as you want if you turn them in on time. There is extra credit on every test and one test retake. His lectures are great and he clearly knows his stuff. Would recommend to anyone

Mark is one of the best instructors at Harper. His lectures are wonderful, he's clear, organized and is always there to answer questions. You will get an A if you do exactly what he tells you to do. Watch the videos, read the book and complete the yellow pages. Great teacher!!! I would take him again and again.

Professor Healy saved my semester. He gives out his cell phone number in class. A close friend of mine killed himself, and I was really depressed. He let me finish all the tests and homework at my own pace over the next few months, even after the semester had ended. The course itself was challenging, and the YouTube videos are great. I got an A!

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR! He is clear in his requests, gives quick and helpful feedback and more importantly HE SAVES STUDENTS MONEY BY PUTTING ALL THE MATERIAL ON BLACKBOARD AND NOT MAKE THEM BUY AN ACCESS CODE TO A WEBSITE TO GET YOUR ASSIGNMENTS DONE! This is a teacher who will help students get good results if they put in the work!

I took his online class and got an A but it was NOT AN EASY A. He gives you a lot of material to study and it takes a lot of time to get through everything (20 hours a week or more): lectures, videos, homework. He always response quickly through to emails and blackboard. If you are lazy please do not take his class. Tests are HARD!

Good Teacher, good natured and willing to work with you if you talk to him. You do need to do some independent study, but if you do, watch the videos and do the review packets it's a breeze. He is critical on essays and focuses a lot on your understanding of the concepts, do a few drafts and you should be good. I enjoyed his personality and humor.

Take him. He very easy. You only have to four paper which you can rewrite an unlimited amount of times.

Mark does not like people who just want an easy A. This is a fairly difficult class but the essays you can rewrite unlimited times and for each exam there is a retake if you do specific activities. I thought he was very approachable and wanted you to succeed. He made the class enjoyable with his personality and likes students who show interest!

I don't see why Mr. H has such a low rating. If you do the work you will get an A. I'm getting a B because I messed up because of personal reasons.

I understand why Mark gets bad reviews. He does make you work for an A. I took him for 211 and got a B because I was lazy. Mark gives you all the resources you need for an A. And, he is a rather interesting person outside class and is the reason I am an economics major now. If you work and don't slack off and retake the tests, an A is achievable.

I took his online Microeconomics class this summer. I received an A but it definitely was not a easy. HOWEVER, he gives you everything you need to receive an A. Test are definatly more on the hard side but if you know what you're doing you will be fine. I ended up with an 88 in the class but with the curve I received an A. Would take him again.

It is very hard to get A in this course if you are lazy. I struggle a lot to have it, so will you. A lot of materials to study, analyze and systemize.

First week in class and I thought he was a lunatic. Throughout the semester, he was a great instructor. 100% would recommend for anyone taking Macroeconomics. Get ready for a full plate of work though.

The structure of the class is set so that you do all the work to learn the material at home and go to class and review. If you do not ask questions he will not know how to help you. Mark is a great instructor who is willing to help you. Do the work and get ahead!

Professor Healy is a funny, down to earth guy. His class has very clear grading and lesson organization that makes it easy to follow. The concepts aren't too hard, its mostly memorizing some formulas. The tests aren't too hard either, which make up a majority of the grade. He's really lenient on late papers too, which is nice for a procrastinator.

Mark is an amazing professor. Lots of Material but its all very helpful. i used the textbook but many of my class fellows did not. Easily accessible and will help you whenever you get stuck somewhere. Lets his students rewrite papers and retake exams.

If you do not like reading like I am, do not take this class. There are so many readings you need to do outside of class. Make sure you do all of the required materials. It is not an easy A class. You will work for it. If you get a high B, you might end up with an A. If you get a high C, you might also end up with a B. Don't panic, show up to learn

I took Healy over the summer as an online class. We had a couple of quizzes and 3 tests + a final. This is the most amazing online professor because not only did he provide all materials we need to succeed but he answered emails/questions in a matter of a minute. He also watches you when you take tests through a lockdown browser or go on campus.

Simply put, he is a solid teacher. He goes above and beyond with everything you need to know in order to be successful. I have never seen a professor be more detailed in my life. He makes lectures personable and interactive. The negative reviews do not do him justice. There is no excuse not to do well. He likes to joke around and makes class fun.

The structure of the Blackboard may be very confusing at first, but then you will easily get the hang of it. You'll find all the stuff online , and lets you re-do papers many times. Just study, especially for the third exam. Very good teacher, talks about skiing a lot but it's funny.

This teacher has made econ so much better. He's kinda kooky in a cute way and very entertaining. Sometimes over explains things to make sure everyone understands but i really appreciated that. Really cares about his students doing well in the class. The class material is kind of hard but he does a really amazing job of teaching it.
