Sort of uniuqe method of teaching. SI's are extremely helpful.

He likes to use groups (practically everyday)- this is not an ordinary lecture class. He does everything to help the student achieve a high grade including make up exams. He also likes to use the internet. He's cutting edge and highly resourseful.

Uses a lot of group interactions, makes economics easy to understand.

Cool teacher, a lot of assignments. If you write a lot on the assignments and BS you way out of them youl get A's. He gives you the questions to the test before the test. Out of like 36 questions hell pick out 15 and ask them a bit differently.

he knows what he is talking about. very clear.

Just a warning to students who still need to polish up their academical skills- Do not take Maier at short sessions becasue he really runs like a machine. However(What's fair needs to be mentioned); he is very helpful in assisting students after class.

His class deal with the real world. He is helpful to all students.

He helps you prepare for the University. He deal with the logic issue and let you see the real economy. However, he gives you a lot of work in his class. Good luck!!!

knows his economics.

Maier is the best Economics teacher EVER!!! He is really into the stuff, he loves it, and he explains everything sooo clearly and makes you understand it completely. His class is never boring, he is very very helpful also. I highly recommend him!

The best econ teacher at the college. I highly recommend him. I don't understand why others complain about him on this site. Maier is simply awesome!

I did not like his style of teaching. It was pretty annoying. I found him unfair, but he is a knowledgeable in the area. I personnally think there are better Econ teachers at GCC. He gives a lot of bs busy work, but not crowded within each assignment.

This class was so easy and fun. He did a lot of group classwork and his tests were really easy. He even gives you a second chance to retake a test at the end of the semester. When you have a question, he's always prompt to answer it in person or email.

Maier is a great teacher and you will learn a LOT in his class!! The great thing about Maier is that he makes you understand the concept without pain or difficulty, his tests aren't too bad, and he makes going to class enjoyable. I highly recommend him!

i worked my butt off and still got a B! grr But i have to admitt that u learn a lotttt!! A lot of assignments and stuff, it gets annoying and tests weren't easy at all in my opinion.

GOOD CLASS. BUT IF YOU COME SHORT ON YOUR FINAL POINTS EVEN BY 1 POINT, YOU WON'T GET THE GRADE. YOU SHOULD WORK HARD BUT YOU LEARN A LOT.

He's a hard teacher,but you learn a lot in his class. That's why a lot of he's 102 students take him for his 101 class.

Explains very well, his tests are hard as hell, you need to really understand the concepts to perform well on the tests.

His tests are very hard but you can retake the worst one at the end. Lots of work and assignments and homeworks, i worked my ass of in the class and still ended up with a B. Good thing is you learn a lot, very important is business major.

Great teacher. He knows the subject, and wants you to know it too. His test might be a little difficult, but if you listen to his lectures and read the book, it is not going to be difficult at all. Overall, he is very helpful and organized, and he is very clear in terms of material and his requir

He is a good professor, he explain every thing perfectrly, if you have enough time to spend on his homework and assignments take the class,he is one of the best teachers in GCC. he knows how to teach, but again, there is too much work to do for his class. worth to take it!

He doesn't give a lot of work, it's pretty tamed. People need to stop complaining and realize it's COLLEGE. Teaches well but make sure you read the book.

It's hard class, but he makes it easy. You need to study the book also. Very nice teacher. Good person. Teaches very well.One of the best in GCC.

The material is hard but if you try and want to get a good grade, you will because he is fair and the right material is there, he will help you get that A or B. Great teacher, highly recommended, probably one of the best econ teachers. Very smart you will learn alot take him for sure.

I learned a lot from his class. He's an open minded professor that's there to help a student pass and gain a good knowledge about the course. Don't be afraid to ask him questions. Key to sucess in his class is doing the rewrites and also extra bonus points he gives out.

He is not easy A giver but has excellent teaching skills and makes the class extra interesting by his comments and examples and slides. I truely respect him and his teaching method.He is one of the best teacher in GCC.

An absolute babe. Great Teacher

Easy A or a B. Read the book, do the assignments and make sure that you fully understand the practice test questions.

READ THE CHAPTERS,PUT A LITTLE EXTRA TIME ON THE ASSIGNMENTS AND REVEIEW HIS PRACTICE TEST.ALSO, KEEP HIM INFORMED ABOUT THINGS YOU ARE NOT SURE OF.HE RESPONDS TO EMAILS VERY FAST AND REMEMBERS YOU, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.HE LETS YOU REDO EVERYTHING.AN EASY A W/ SOME EXTRA EFFORT!!!!!

he is really nice and helpful but!all the tests are hard. for every tests, there's no multiple choice question. so you really need to study, read, and do your homework hard!!

He divides the class into groups and makes you work with your group all the time. Sometimes you have to teach each other. If your are not happy with your group you need to do all the work by your self. Gives a lot of extra work.

GO to class... do the easy exercises during class, go over test questions b4 the test, and do the simple hw assignments and get your A. Lets you rewrite you assignments and essays too! Stop complaining!!! This guy is not hard.. its college, and he is fair. Also, you can make up one of the 4 tests you take. What else do u want? Thanks Mr. Maier =)

One of the best teachers in GCC. This class was made fun by him and interesting. His examples made the subject easier to understand! I without a doubt recommend this teacher!

One of the best teachers in GCC.

A lot of work. Work hard and get an A. Essay's are tough but he lets you rewrite them. Review questions before the tests basically tell you what is on the exam.

As long as you do the homework you have to be a dumbass not to pass.

One of the best professors at GCC. Explains things very clearly and uses examples where one can understand. Not tough at all, if you do the work. He is always willing to help if you ask.

kewl guy but sorta kinda hard likes to do hands on interactive activities that r realy randomly made up. to pass his class u have to really be into it and do the extra work

I had Mr. Maier for econ 102 and now for econ 101, i honestly think he is one of the best teachers in GCC! He explains very well and cares if his students like his teaching style, unlike other teachers he is willing to ask for feedback and actually apply it! He makes the subject interesting and explains clearly! EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!

Excellent professor. teaches very well, difficult to get an A but you will learn everything you need to know about Econ.

Maybe he might have changed his teacher habits, but when I took him in spring 06 he was great. He was clear and to the point. His tests were right out of his lectures, and his assignments were reasonable. I got an A and didnt have to show up for the final. If you read the book and take notes, cant see why you cant get an A or B

ok, i took him for econ 101 and i loooved the class, it was a lot of fun, never boring, he's really good teahcer BUT if u care bout the grade... he's weird, i got A on all the test but the first one and he still gave me B, even tho my essay was like the best paper.. **** it. GO TO SI's!!!!!! work in class and ull b fine

Easy and clear.Very interesting class. A lot of work, but assignments are not hard. Read the book, you will do find^_^

he is pretty hard. a lot of homework/work... HONESTLY his tests are pretty much unclear and difficult! personally, i tried extremely hard and did really good on the homework... my tests were ok (and his "practice tests" DO NOT HELP AT ALL)and i ended up with a B... after working that hard, it didnt pay off... take some1 else if possible.

I was a BZ major before taking his class; now I am an Econ major. THE MOST KNOWLEDGABLE instructor. His method of teaching is AWESOME. Work hard and you will ace the class. I also took Econ 111 with him; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

He is one of the best professors that teaches at GCC. Take any of his econ classes, except for econ 111. He teaches that class with the most difficult teacher I have ever taken, professor Alexandre. Avoid his co-op teaching with Alexandre AT ALL COST!

All you lazy bums with your bad ratings. If you pay attention in class, take notes, and crack the book open you'll get an easy A. Maier helps alot and answers your questions, all the time. He also has pre-exam questions and study guide. Also, hes finals are not cumulative!!! It doesn't get any better than that.

I liked him a lot. He explains everything very clearly and gives exercises to help us understand perfectly.

Not only I got an A, I also learned a lot of things about economy that I didn't know before. It was a very interesting class. If you listen carefully to his lectures and do all the activities and assignments, you'll do great. He is a very good professor, and I give an A to him.

He is a very good teacher. he is willing to take you down to the lake, but he is not gonna make u drink. i mean wants u to think and have an opinion. he is great. yeah, he gives a lot of assignments, but only to help you have a better grade diversified. However, if u just sit there and not ask questions,don't expect an A. i definitely recommende hi

This guy freakin' owns. He doesn't teach anything that's not in the book but at the same time he takes his own approach on teaching every topic. Very clear explanations and great ways to introduce the next topic. Assignments can get a bit tedious, but they're not complicated at all; everything is always laid out...you just have to put it togethe

he is a great teacher and really cares for his students. He tries to make class fun and wants to make sure everyone understands what is going on! take him!!!

Professor Maier is great. He is really engaging. Some of his in class activities made me feel a little bit silly, but were actually really helpful. His tests are short answer questions that mirror the study guide he hands out a few days prior to the exam. I really enjoyed the class.

Pretty Easy, Gives study guides before tests, trys to help you to get a better grade. Allows you to retake your worst test.

He team-taught this class with Gordon Alexandre. Maier was very nice. Willing to answer questions and tell personal anecdotes. No complaints.

I took Mr. Maier's class during the winter session. He is very nice and caring. He is always willing to help his students. The class was not easy, assignments were long and tedious, his tests are not multiple choice...they're short answer. You seriously have to work hard if u want an A. I procrastinated a little but i got a B...

Mr. Maier is a good teacher. He cares about his students and he tries to give lots of examples to help you get it. He assigns a ton of work as if his class is the only one you are taking, be prepared to be busy doing HWK. He is definitely not an easy A, but he allows you to rewrite HWK for 1/2 of your lost pts & you can retake 1 exam.

Greatest Teacher! He is very nice and you will learn a lot from him.

I knew nothing from Economics, after this class it became one of the subjects that really interests me. Prof. Mair is one of the greatest professors among others at GCC. He is awesome, and I liked his method of teaching too.

This is the most objective review you will find. This professor truly has the right to be called a college professor. He is challenging, just as much as he is creative. Albeit a tad bit subjective in his grading, he is fair. In short, you'll get the grade you deserve. You want an A? You'll definitely have to WORK for it.

Best teacher ever. He makes you read the book and then apply the stuff you learned with examples in class. By far the best teacher I have ever had and I learned the most out of any of my classes.

Great teacher!! He teaches in a way that is easy for you to understand and learn! Aplia computer work is a chunk of your grade, so make sure to do it. I passed the tests with a high score but didn't do the computer work and got a lower grade so make sure to do it! He has class activities which makes the topic of Econ interesting.

Compared to what I hear from people who took other econ teachers, I'd really reccomend him. I only read like 7% of the book, did the assignments, and got an A. He's a pretty easy teacher and tries to make the subject fun.

Good teacher. Definetly a college level class so don't expect an easy ride. Do your Aplia homework even though he says it doesn't count much. It adds up in the end and can be the difference between an A and a B.

Great teacher! I had a horrible time in 102 with a different teacher as was pretty worried about taking 101, but he was awesome! All sorts of fun exercises and really relates it to your life. Wish I had taken him for 102 as well

Very interesting class. Mr. Maier teaches students to analyze and make predictions based on graphs and textbook concepts. I really enjoyed the class. Mr. Maier is the BEST!!!!!!

great teacher but the tests are hard. if you have questions go to his office hours. take him

Mr. Maier is very nice and will help you if you need it but his tests are hard if you don't study. If you just read the chapter once and look over your notes you'll be fine. He lets you make up your lowest test score. his grading is strange, me and my friend had the same answer i got 10/10 and she got a 4/10 and it was the same exact paragraph.

Excellent professor. Real world examples, real world issues. Everything relates to the real world! Tests are all short answers. They're analytical but not difficult. There's a study guide and 3x5 card on the test. VERY fair grading and lenient too. Grades based on support and examples, not on right or wrong answers. Wish I had taken him for 102!

Very interesting class! ECON, BUS. major people - take Dr. Maier, you'll learn a lot from his class. Study hard for the tests; they are NOT easy. You have to be able to use logic in your answers, it's not just the material from the book. Even though you can make up 1 test during the final, don't miss it! Do your Aplia!! It helps toward your grade.

awesome teacher. very easy as long as you read the book. let's you have a flashcard for each test and final. very fun and interesting class. TAKE HIM!

Great Teacher! Need help just ask him! Easy going teacher and easy class. Just take notes and pay attention!

Great teacher! Makes learning fun!

Excellent professor. Available at his office hours to answer questions. He gives sample tests to make you prepare. He only makes you apply logic skills into economics, that's all. If you read and prepare for the exam, you definitely will get A. Homeworks, by the way, are pretty easy

Good Professor. He uses real life examples in his lectures and it makes it very easy to understand the material. I have gotten As on the test without reading the book. If your major is not econ don't expect this to be an easy A class. Econ majors will enjoy his class. He was much clearer than Payon, who I had in 102.

he is an excellent professor.the way he teaches along with his grading method makes the class very fair even though he doesnt curve the class. I took his 101 class and it was a great experience

Dr.Maier is an amazing professor! He is ALWAYS ready to answer questions. He posts old tests online and goes over them before the tests. The questions are pretty much the same as the previous tests he posts. He allows you to use an index card on the tests! and the final is a regular test on two chapters. I enjoyed the class !

great teacher. loved the class. if it was my major i would take every class with him

I got an A in this class...he is a good professor and he is fair. He is NOT a retard. I don't particularly agree with his radical views (I'm conservative) but overall I learned quite a bit about the American Economy.

If Economics or Business is ur major then you should take his class. It's a lot of work, but you also gain a lot from this class. Read txt book before class, do homework, and study regularly, you will be fine and get a high grade. He makes the subject fun and interesting, is also helpful. He responds to ur email right away. Highly recommend!

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD! YES, HE DOES HAVE ANNOYING ASSIGNMENTS, BUT I LOVE HOW MUCH HE HELPS YOU GET A GOOD GRADE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO. I WISH ALL MY TEACHERS COULD BE THIS CARING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THEIR TEACHING SUBJECT! TAKE HIM AND YOU WILL ENJOY IT!

Prof Maier is a great teacher. His test are relatively easy. He gives out a practice exam with most answers a week or so before which contained the exact same concepts on the tests. I would highly recommend Prof Maier to anyone that has to take economics.

This guy is a good teacher and a good person. Everything you need to know is in his lectures. He is crystal clear on what he says and what he wants you to know and he really knows his stuff. I hate econ and because of him I find econ very interesting. This guy is a good teacher. This rating is for real.

He is really passionate about the subject and does a great job with new activities every week keeping it interesting, i learned alot with him wish he was teaching in the summer so i could take 101, He gives a practice test a week before the test and it is exactly the same with only different numbers, and he lets you use a 5/8FLASHCARD on the test!

Everyone is right. He's passionate towards the class. Does give alot of work but it's not hard. I don't think another Econ teacher could do better with this class. He is straight forward and reasonable. I don't see why people complain. He honestly wants you to do good just go to class, dont miss anything you'll be good

He is one of the BEST professors I ever had. All these comments about him being hard are complete lies. I came to class everyday, his lecture is 100% clear and is what will be on the test, he is very fair with project dates and adjusts them to fit our needs, and he gives practice tests which are exactly like the actual. VERY good class, got A+ : )

Maier is the best econ teacher at GCC. I took econ 102 with Payan and after that horrible experience i thought i HATED econ. I wasnt looking forward to taking econ 101 but honestly Maier is amazing! he makes me so excited to learn! i come home to tell my dad all the stuff i learned in class! if you have to take econ take it with Maier for sure!

This class is relatively challenging..students must attend class, do the assignments on time, and all that helps them prepare for the tests..so the tests are a mere review of the work students've been assigned to do...also he is VERY FAIR when it comes to grading! All in all great a professor...

the best take him and u will not regret it .do ur home work and study the practice test.yes there is lots of homework but they help ur grade to go up and u have the option of redoing them and also i think he is a very fair grader just do what ur suppose to do no one gets an a for not doing anything

His class is definitely not easy. It requires a lot of readings from the text book and a lot of notes. Other than that, the class is an easy A. His lectures are also very important. He also gives you practice tests that are almost identical to the test. If you're studying and reading, you should easily be able to get an A

Are you guys serious? People complain about his activities then get a bad grade. What do you expect. This class was easy.. I scored above 95 on every test with 1 days worth of studying. He feeds you the pre-tests and answers. The actual midterms are copies of the pre-tests. Im not even an econ major and these kids were all failing around me.

I don't understand why people are complaining. Yes, it was challenging but he literally spoon feeds you the entire course. I admit he gives a lot of assignments but if you take the time to do them you will get a good grade. All his warm ups s prepare you for the test so why not do them and get points?take it with him and youll learn a lot!

He is... absolutely the best teacher I've ever had. Yes, he assigns a lot of hw and warm ups. Me? I like it becasue I understand the material better. You can rewrite all 6 assignments(35 p each), 4 tests (100p each), 8 warm ups(6p each), notetaker (10p), participation (32p). He's such a cute man, he wants you to learn. Go to the SI, it helps!!

He makes it very easy for u 2 get a B. He gives alot of wrk but do em. Tht will help u in the end. N go 2 class! each day is worth 2 points n he gives 2 free days. Unless u kno the subject very well ur not gna get an A. Hell make u get a B if he sees tht u dnt hav a grasp on the subject. Hell minus stupid points so it looks like it was ur mistake.

Mark Maier is the best teacher I have had at GCC. He is everything a teacher should be. Teaches you the material, and how to apply to the real world. Got an A in 102, and I'm currently taking him for 101. If you're a dedicated student, you'll love Maier! Take him!

HIGHLY recommended!! His lectures are well structured; he outlines the lecture on the board. Combines lectures with activities that require you to actively think about concepts. Assignments are complex, but easy if you review notes. He assigns note takers each class, so if you miss you can stay updated. But attendance is part of your grade!

He's the best! Highly recommend him. "A lot of work" (for those who are lazy), but it's totaly worth it!! Thank you, Mr. Maier!

Professor Maier is one of my favorite professors at GCC. He is very helpful and easy to approach/email if you have questions. He will make sure you get it. His lectures are very clear and students participate in activities almost every class. I loved both Econ 101 and 102 with him. You do need to do well on the assignments and tests; you get redos.

I hate Econ with a passion, but this class taught me a lot. He spoon feeds you the information: you do little activities everday, a bunch of assignments, and warmups. It might seem tedious while you're doing it, but it helps you actually understand the info. Overall, I definitely recommend him!

SUPER EASY CLASS, CAN BE SOMEWHAT TIME CONSUMING. IF YOU READ AND PAY ATTENTION TO LECTURES YOU SHOULD BE FINE. NOTHING TOO EXCITING, BUT YOU DO LEARN A LOT ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS, AND THE BASICS OF ECON...WHICH IS USEFUL. JUST VERY STRAIGHT-FORWARD AND MANAGEABLE.

Professor Maier is great. The class overall consists of a lot of assignments, group work, and warm ups; but I find that these things really boost your grade. He allows students to use a flashcard with whatever information they'd like on the tests including the final. He really wants you to succeed, you just need to stay on top of everything.

Professor Maier is a very nice person but grades hard.

Honestly, this class was whatever. It's not difficult to get a good grade though. There are a lot of annoying assignments and hws to do. Sometimes the in class work reminds me of doing group activities in kindergarten! Its OK. Nothing to fear. Dont get behind his assignments,and ull be fine. But, he doesn't curve AT ALL! An 89.9% cant be an A!!!

He is widely acknowledged as the best prof in Econ dep of Gcc. Interesting class. Yes a lot of hws ...but not a hard but a fair grader. Unless u slack off,it's easy to get a B. An A requires constant effort. If u don't get an A from him,u simply don't deserve it.

Mark is one of the best professors I had at GCC. A lot of busy work in this class, though, he is a fair grader. Do all the assignments and homework, and study the study guide before the tests and you'll do fine. Got an A in Econ 101, and will take him again for 102

He knows how to teach the subject to you. His tests on the other hand are very tricky!! His assignments are somewhat easy but sometimes you ask yourself to why this was assigned. His warm-ups are very easy and gives you full credit if you at least attempt them. He grades you a little harshly and I wish that his tests were multiple choice.

tbh the textbook that you are going to use will not help alot. its somewhat hard to understand and not direct. however, mr maire knows how to explain every detail perfectly. therefore, if you took this class not only wil you gained more knowledge but you will also understand the importance of attendance, if u want to get A, do the practice test!!!!

Maier's a good professor. He grades fairly and his class is not too challenging to the point where you simply can't understand something. He goes into topics in detail and points out the tricky parts. I knew little to nothing about econ before his class and it was a good introduction to the subject. Recommend!

Maier is an awesome teacher and VERY knowledgeable. He knows Economics inside and out. Pay attention to everything he says in class and do the homeworks and in class assignments. class is not an easy A, you need to actually work (new to some) and put effort into it. Even if Econ has nothing to do with your major, you WILL learn a lot. Thank you!

He is a very good teacher. He is always there at his office hours to help you with any question you have. The tests are all written and are pretty easy if you study. Plus, he lets you use a cheat sheet during the test which helps a lot. He defiantly knows a lot about Econ. and is very professional and helpful. I got a B+ but could have gotten an A.

He is a great Econ. professor. The class is not hard at all if you try. I got a B+ but could have gotten an A if I tried a little harder. He is always at his office hours willing to go over any question you have. He lets you use a cheat sheet and you can re take one test. He is very fair and clear. Take this class, you won't regret it.

I have Learn a lot from Mr. Maier economic 101 class.Also,He is an Excellent Professor.It is very easy to understand everything he teach."Excellent, Excellent" If you go to his class you will love it and learn a lot about economics.

I did well on all his tests, in fact the lowest i got was an 80. He is nice and his lecture are interesting, because he makes you participate in group activities. Be aware he grades tough on assignments and his warm ups. That's what killed me, not his tests.

Don't listen to these idiots that say he is hard because he is not, they're just complaining because you have to actually do work in his class. I got a B+ but that is because I am a science major so I didn't put too much time in this class. Just go to class and do the assignments and you should get an A easily.

One of my best teachers. It's true that he is not easy grader, but if you try and make an effort, you'll be fine. Though I am in Accounting major, after taking his class I was thinking about changing it into Econ. Don't complain, it's a college!

OMG Mr. Maier is the best teacher in Economics. He was very clear and helpful. Can't wait to take Econ 101 with him. He is not an easy grader but if you do your best, you will get a good grade. I got A+. He is very helpful. Go to his office and ask questions. He will help you for sure. You have to work hard in his class!

I took this professor last semester for Econ 102 and got A. Now I am taking 101 and so far getting A as well. I can't say I study a lot for this class. For tests I usually spent 2-3 hours at home and this looks enough to get a good grade. Moreover he has SI for his class so that SI leader can help you to prepare for all tests. Very easy and intere

He's a great teacher & wonderful person. I didn't know anything about Economics, but he explained concepts well. Exams are all short-essays & he gives you a study-guide. You have to work hard for an A and you NEED to do the warmups & assignments. He lets you rewrite your assignments and lets you retake your lowest exam. I studied & still got a B.

I have only taken Econ 101 with Prof. Maier, and it was enough to prove that he is a fantastic teacher. Tests are very straight forwards (cheat sheet allowed), he gives practice test and goes over them before the test day. The assignments can be long and detailed, but if you are interested they are not too bad. Do the warm-ups, and take good notes!

He is really passionate about his teachings like he acts them out at times and does games for the classroom and tosses candy. He gives moderate homework but it's not so hard. Thing he needs to work on is emphasizing equations he uses but besides that it was a pleasure ..

I took his class during Winter. If youre not into the concept of business, and money talks, you'll have a hard time understanding his lectures, and don't take him during a short semester if you're one of those I just mentioned. But as long as you seriously listen, show interest, attend his class, and answer his tests the way he does, you'll do fine

Professor Maier is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered, he is so dedicated in his work. Yes, there are many assignments (they're easy) but it's worth it because it helps your grade. His tests are easy if you pay attention in class, and so are his quizzes. I have learned so much in this class, I enjoyed every single class session.

I disagree with the poor reviews below. I found him extremely helpful and fair. His lectures are clear and he tries to apply the material to real life. Though the class is very hard, he does an amazing job at teaching and knows his stuff! If you don't put in serious study time you will fail. He allows you to retake one test on the day of final!

His lectures are great, and I learnt so much in this class. You work in groups all the time, but it's fun and interesting. If you follow all his instructions and stay focused during the class, you'll be fine. Excellent professor but a tough grader. I had 89 and got a B. But I'd rather get a B with him than A with someone else,yes, he's that amazing

Very informative class, I learned a lot from his lectures. If you had a question, he knew exactly where it was in the textbook. Tests are all essay format, if you've studied and read the textbook then they aren't too hard, he allows you to use a note card as a cheat sheet for all his tests too.

People who say this class is impossible are just stupid if you ask me. Fantastic lectures that really drill home the material from the text (which is very simplified and full of funny quotes). Tests are not difficult, he gives a helpful study guide. Anything not mentioned in the study guide is covered in class, so pay attention. Learned a lot!

He "acts" out economic processes in lectures by getting the whole class to participate, which made every lecture super entertaining. In terms of "easiness", an A is totally doable, as long as you're on top of all the assignments, tests, and learning properly all the concepts. Very helpful in his office as well.

Makes sure to explain concepts in ways that are universally appealing to all students. Some concepts are tough. Not very clear on what will be on tests, and it may hurt your grade sometimes. Offers lots of opportunity for grade improvement. Very conscious about student feedback, so voice your concern. Ask questions, he is not reluctant to answer.

I took Macrcoeconomics honors with Professor Maier. He is a tough grader. Take good notes and make sure you write as much detail as possible on your flashcards for the tests. Class is 4 tests, lots of quizzes, and homework assignments. Overall good class.

I was considering my major to Economy because of him. Best professor ever. Just do the work.

I took 102H with him last semester and got an A, so I slacked off a bit at the beginning of this semester. I highly regretted that, and the damage is done... A B, it is what it is. That being said, I still appreciate him and the help he has given me.

Really enjoyable class! learned so much about economics from his lectures. If you're willing to learn and work hard then take him. Its a good experience. Get every point you can because he does not round. He gives reviews for exams and he's always available for office hours. Office hours were a must for me! Study hard and you can get an A!

If you put in the time and effort, this class shouldn't be too difficult. I'm a business economics major but I went into the class knowing barely anything. His tests are 10 written questions but it's good so you can get partial credit on questions. His study guides are the key to success, if you can answer everything then you're good!

If you want to learn economics, he will be the best professor you will have. However his exams are difficullt and points to get an A are even harder. I learned a lot from him, but I feel like he could be more fair when it comes about grading. My recommendation is that if you are planning to get an easy "A" don't take him. Ifyouwanttolearnthendoit

Very knowledgable and passionate professor. I'd highly recommend taking him if you actually care about learning instead of getting an easy A. He's a very fair grader and as long as you do the reading and study, you can get and A on the assignments on tests.

Getting an A depends on being consistent with his writing assignments which take a long time but if you explain it thoroughly, he will give you a good score. His lectures are okay. He lets you bring a flashcard to each test which helps you a lot and gives you a study guide. Worked hard to get an A. Don't expect it to be an easy A.

Fortunate to have him at a CC. One of the best instructors I had @GCC. Truly prepares you and cares so much. You'll appreciate the standard he sets. Take his class and you will not struggle at a 4-year, trust me. These are such important building blocks in business, you owe it to people who work with you to learn as much as Mr. Maier teaches.

The breakdown was 4 exams, 4 assignments, and quizzes that accompanied the online reading. It is VERY POSSIBLE to get an A in this class if you practice & review the study guide, however take another step and go to office hours because you'll find better insight for what he's looking for on the exams (kinda picky with your answers). Overall SOLID!

Professor Maier really cares about his students. He also takes his class seriously. This means that if you are not willing to actually put in the time to understand the class at a conceptual level you are not going to do as well as you think you might otherwise. I am fortunate to be very passionate about economics, and Prof. Maier taught me a lot.

Professor Maier is a real gem. His lectures are interesting and very clear. He gives chances to redo the assignments and rewrite the tests if you are unsatisfied with your grade. This is not an easy A class, you gotta work for it but he makes it a lot easier. I've learned a lot in his class and would definitely take him again!

My sister took Maier's class and recommended me do so too. SIMPLY THE BEST. As long as you attend and understand the lectures, everything's fine. He allows you to REDO work with certain restrictions. Many grade booster chances. He also gives TEST GUIDELINES that are similar to the test. TAKE HIM!

His lectures are really interesting and you learn about current economic problems everyday during class. He is a sweetheart and very understanding. Do the work and you will do amazing in his class !

Very organized course, 4 major tests, reviews and practice tests before each one, chance to get half of the points you lose if you re-submit assignment on time depending on the reviews which you get back so quickly!, and make up any of the 4 major tests during finals.

Prof Maier is an excellent instructor. Slightly overwhelming at first, stay on top of your assignments, especially the Study Plan, has 4 modules that last 3 weeks, 4 tests, quizzes after each section. 2 attempts on quizzes, 1 attempt on test, but can retake during finals week - BTW that's the final. Attend office hours, he's extremely responsive

I am not an Econ major and I was able to get an A. He is nice and caring as long as you show you care about his course by making an effort to throughly answer the weekly assignments. No mid-term or final, which is amazing, but a lot of reading and assignment workload. No EC, but the opportunity to retake assignments to make up half missed points.

I took his online class and all of the material for the tests are in his lectures; WATCH THEM! There is a test every week, make sure you have a calculator and review the homework ( HW is not submitted; it is extra credit ). He provides a lot of extra credit opportunities; if you participate you will SURELY get an A. He's so kind! 10/10 Recommend!!

He is so amazing! I took his Microeconomics class and he is so educated on the topic. also allows you to redo incorrect problems for half credit. totally recommend him!!

Professor Maier is one of the best Professors I have ever had. He significantly impacted my academic life and set me on a path to success. His deep knowledge of economics and passion for teaching techniques makes his class very interesting for those who are interested in learning.

Prof Maier truly cares about his students and wants you to get the material. These bad reviews are probably just bc ppl have trouble with the material. Of course, econ is less of common knowledge so it clearly requires some more dicipline. All the material has been very useful and helpful in life and he's so incredibly kind and understanding.

You can re-do all the assignments and get points back after the due date. His videos are very helpful and he only quizzes on material that is taught and he gives re-takes as many times a needed. His assignments are useful for understanding and important for life knowledge

I just completed my online Econ 101 class with Professor Maier. He is an excellent teacher who gives great feedback when grading assignments. He made Economics interesting and I truly recommend him as a teacher!
