He obviously knows his material, and loves his job!Great professor/great person
I had him at CCNY and I must say that Pace students are very lucky to have him.
Easy to understand, clear, exams are fair
Taking all ECO classes that he teaches as free electives.
If you came to learn, reg for Weinstock, otherwise stay away.
The greatest Prof. , so smart and funny.

Love this guy!!
The last guy you want to take
You have to read 80 pages a week. 2 missed classes=F, 2 lates = missed class
most idiots don't like him---but he made economics the most interesting class
i passed with an A and so did my friend--maybe you don't belong in college
Take him if you want to spend your nights reading economics. 100 pages a week!
great professor, funny guy. gotta take him for eco's class.

Excellent professor, Makes the otherwise boring course actually interesting

extremely helpful...wouldn't move on with the lecture unless you understood..A++
nice guy and funny, material is not easy at all, fair grader, tries hard to help
Best professor in this school
One of the best professors I've had so far. Explains if you dont understand, caring
Excellent professor, Very fair greader and really funny
The best eco professor in pace. He is soo funny. at first he will scare you but dont be afraid he doesnt that on purpose. You got to take him for your eco classes.
this guy should do stand up lol...hes one of the best at pace...learned a lot
This man is a genius... very helpful, just make sure you go to class, otherwise you will be completely lost. very good sense of humor.
If every professor was as intelligent as he, Pace would be better than Harvard.
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN PACE.
HE'S THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!
OMG if only all my professors were this intelligent and this willing to help out the students.
Awesome prof! Funny & interesting. Never thought ECO'd be fun. Wish more were like him. Study for tests, but they not hard.
nice person but not good teacher, grades are very low
One of the best at Pace. Read the book, ask questions, and come to the review sesions...that way the tests wouldn't be a problem.
Truly explains the material. Attend all review sessions. Ask questions..he will go over until you really understand..an amazing guy!
Great guy, amazing teacher. Got an A- with some study an help from teacher. Always willing to assist students. FUNNY AS HELL!!!
He is a great professor. The best Ive had. Explains well,keeps you entertained. Relates subject to real life things. Really funny. Very intelligent man
He is one of the best teachers at Pace. Definitely knows his stuff. Very helpful. Go to the review sessions, pay attention in class.
very helpful, very knowledgable teacher. he really does his best to make sure everyone understands.
He is the best Eco prof and certainly the best prof Dyson has. Its a pity ECO is under Dyson and not Lubin. HE knows he his stuff, is really entertaining. makes the class fun and you will never want to miss any classes also. He grades on performance
Very hard quizes, nearly everyone fails.. Explanations are unclear and fast. Very funny though..he should do standup comedy
very interesting and helpful professor. lectures are fun and informative. you will remember the material long after you graduate.
material pretty hard but he's the best eco. teacher there is..definitely taking him again..he's funny and you'll learn..i'd strongly reccommend reading the book though!
hmmm i think he is mad cool...but u can't just sleep in his class just pay attention attempt to do the probelms he assigns although he doesn't check them...but u have to go to his class he is very anal about attendance and plus its fun to go to his class
He's a good professor and funny, but he always cancels classes without informing you the day before, as least five classes had been cancelled.
Weinstock is cool, he cancelled some classes, but he's the only prof i have who comes in on the weekends to give reviews before the tests, take him and study hard, tough exams, but fair,needs to dress fancier, too!!!
Tricky tests!
The man is a genius. Period.
i took him in eco 240 and honestly, i thought i was screwed. i was wrong. he is great! i wish i had him in my eco105 and eco106 classes, i wouldn't be that dumb in economics.
Absolutely hilarious and very very smart. He actually comes in on the weekends for review sessions, he cares that much about his students doing well. The tests are sort of tricky but he will definitely teach you what you need to know. Take him
He's a GREAT teacher..he explains the material well and you can always go to him if you're having trouble..he has review sessions before the tests on weekends..he's really funny and makes econ interesting! he also gives a biggg curve..take him if u can!!
Professor, PLEASE lighten up with the work, we have other classes to study for too.... hes a great teacher, but tests are very hard, i just wish hed make them a little easy, his students would benefit greatly.
one of the best professors at pace. knows his material and is willing to explain it until you understand. though material is often hard, he will make sure you learn. not an easy A. you will work hard for the grade you get, but class is fun.
you should see a shrink if you don't think he cares about his students---only teacher i ever had who does saturdays reviews and makes sure that you understand everything
i thought he was the best instructor that i had at pace
amazing professor.. he knows what he's talking about - Economics isn't the easiest class, but he will work with you to no end.. always willing to help.. relates economics to the real world, knows what he's talking about from experience!!
Great professor, he knows his material, very nice & caring, wants to make sure his students learn the material. We need more professors like him.
Freaking brilliant.
Weinstock is the man!! His tests are hard only if you do not pay attention to ANYTHING in class! If you try and pay attention you will do GREAT! Even if your tests aren't too good, but he sees that you're trying, you'll get a b+! HE'S SO HELPFUL TOO!!!!
One of the best professors I've had. You have to study hard though, deffinetly not an easy A
The man is brilliant. He makes a difficult and dry subject interesting. You will def. get your moneys worth from him. Weekend reviews, I mean the man truly cares about students learning.
weekend reviews because he skips many classes and is never around during his office hours; how about those of us who have to work weekends?
The guy cancels class almost every week and never says anything in advance! Hard exams and doesnt really take time to go over problems..likes to talk about politics a lot
best professor ever
He is a cool guy. Sometimes can be a bit crass but go to his review sessions and do homework. Easy class if you give it your best shot. NEED TO STUDY !!!
Not an easy course but if you are serious about Economics take this professor...besides he's kind of cute ;)
great guy....and a hottie too!
Great Professor- Very Clear, Would Reccomend.
HE IS AMAZING!!! If you want an easy professor, do'nt take him, but he is really cool and you will actually learn something. One of Pace's Best Professors - Go for his review sessions
This man is so funny. His classes are enjoyable. The class isn't easy, you have to do the reading. Go to the weekend reviews. He tells you exactly whats on the test.
has review sessions because he cancels classes almost every week without notice, schedules office hours but never shows up, has no respect for other people's time.
makes some very difficult concepts interesting and easier, best eco professor i ever had
The best professor at Pace! Very smart man!You will learn a lot in his class. Very flexible.
this guy is everything you want from a ECO professor... he makes concepts and ideas easy for you to understand and he's more than willingly to help you if you don't understand... provides sat review prior to exams... only thing i don't like is his gradings.. i got 2 Bs when i felt i deserved an A
He's a really good economics professor...explains things very thorougly. I recommend you take him for any economics class. He is also very funny and humorus, which makes the class more enjoyable.

ok this guy is real kool. makes lecture interesting. but he always cancels his class on last notice. overall a very decent man and a good prof. this guy gets an A in my books. weinstock u rule man!!!!
Very funny and interesting. You learn something and enjoy yourself at the same time. Definately recommend him
this guy is awesome, for a prof, he has some serious opinions and is not afraid to share them. he is republican, but his teachings make up for that ;-)
The funniest professor I've ever met at Pace. He is a comedian! I have to laugh so hard in every class. His explanations are so perfect. I wanna be ECO major now!!!!
one of the greatest professors at pace. hilarious teacher. makes class enjoyable. very clear and helpful and allows study sessions for tests (which he curves). excellent real life examples. you learn more than just economics. HIGHLY recommend.
hes da best professor at pace...........if u dont like eco, he teaches in a way that u will still understand it fulllly......
he'll make you work but you'll learn a lot
I finally had a good economics professor. I hate the subject, but Weinstock really knows how to explain stuff that to me seemed impossible to learn. He is funny and explains stuff in a very unique way. I really enjoyed his class, although it was at 9a.m. on a friday. If you hate economics, take him.
Cool professor, teaches the material well, rarely any hw, fare exams~ Take him for Econ~
He really is a very good professor, he explains things like regression analysis with such ease and clearity that you'll actually understand what statistics was, all about. However, his exams are VERY hard. Not an easy A by a long shot, but if you want to learn something, this is the guy for you.
Best teacher ever! He makes me LOVE Economics...
A+++++++++ Highly Reccomended, Will do business again.
This is my last year at Pace and I can honestly say that Prof. Weinstock is the best professor I've had. I highly, highly recommend him!
great professor willing to take time out of his weekend to assist students! best professor at pace helpful & realistic about job opportunities after college. he is an incredible professor and we are lucky to have him. everyone should be required to take a Weinstock class ppl would b smarter and know about the effects of compounding. work hard for A
Such a great prof!! Makes coming to class interesting and tries to present the material in an interesting way. Reviews on the weekends before each test.
big republican..jus like the other republicans he is very arrogant when it comes to seeing what actually is happening
Very good teacher, pace should be honored to have a teacher like Weinstock,not only presents the material in a very fun way but connects it to many different things, yes weinstock is republican, but most economists are.. a must take for any eco class he will make you smarter, and make you think in a different way A+
Horrible teaching methods
Weinstock is a great guy, but can get confusing at times. If you read ahead then you'll understand more and be able to participate. He never gives homework. His tests are confusing and hard but only gives 3; however, he curves your grade!
easy tests...good grade
Although his tests are kinda hard, he's a really good professor and forces you to learn economics.
The best economics professor at pace..take him but be prepared to study hard..not easy at all if you want an A, but def the best to learn...
Excellent Professor. Very intelligent, sharp, prepared, and helpful. Muslim students be aware: although he's fair, he's incredibly ****. Will sneak in a lot of cheap one-liners about you guys every once in a while. Additionally, as a word of advice, NEVER bring up the Arab-Israeli in his class.
he's awesome. why are you even thinking about this? go register. he's really intelligent, will give a lot of his out of class time to his students. he really cares about us and wants everyone to understand the material and he manages to make what would otherwise be unberable lectures interesting, funny and engaging.
Weinstock is an economics god. You must come to class and pay attention, if you're too lazy for that don't take him. If 238 is required for you and you don't understand it, change majors now! Weinstock for president! Absolutely amazing professor, one of a kind!
So difficult.....if you are not in Economic major then avoid him
great prof. difficult material. READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE TEXT BEFORE CLASS! you have to study to do well but the class is very interesting. tests are fair (15 mult choice[2pts], 5 short ans[6pts], 2 out of 3 essay[20pts]) and he usually gives one take home. def one of my favorite profs at pace.
He's as **** as one can get! Tries to be cool with students by cursing a lot in class...Cheap!
It is very rewarding to know that not only did I learn a great deal about Money & Banking, but also earned an Awesome grAde. The b*tchin' an' moanin' "students"; please drop out of pace Now - if Weinstock is too hard; how are you ever going to compete against NYU and Columbia students for jobs? Think about that... And then shut your trap and work!
I enjoyed this class. BE SURE TO READ THE TEXTBOOK! You will not do well if you don't. also, pay attention, ask for help, and participate. he is more lenient if he knows you are trying.
Awesome prof! Do your work... know your stuff and don't act like a moron and you'll be sure to get a B+. Whatever you need he's there to help you. He knows what he's talking about. Always amusing. Loves the students

I took prof weinstock for 4 eco classes, BEST PROF AT PACE!!! not easy, but very helpful and understanding. wants students to do well.
I love Weinstock, this is my third class with him and he is definately the best at Pace. If your taking him for an auxiallary course (ECO 238/240) it will be boring because its the subject matter that is dry. Take him for an economics economics class and you will enjoy every moment of it. He is a bit hard, work hard! very interesting!
Intelligent, noteworthy, comprehensive--professor Weinstock is the man. Hilarious class sessions filled with empirical, anecdotal, and substantial information. A must-take for anyone interested in business, politics, and life. Very ideological, but we're on the same page.
Extemely interesting lectures and very insightful in the field. Fun class, the only downfall is there's a 20 page paper due at the end of the semester with about 5 weeks to due do it.
The best professor i have ever had! i have taken almost every single class he teaches. Extremely knowledgeable in many areas. Lectures are very interesting and fun. A MUST take professor!!!
Intelligent, hilarious, and a huge help. If there's one thing you should do at Pace University, it is taking Professor Weinstock for one of his classes. Game Theory, in and of itself, is amazing--especially with Weinstock's anecdotal stories and explanations.
i thought that he was fantastic! very concerned about stduents
Horrible. Worst teacher I've had at Pace. Spews right wing talking points like it's Fox News. Preaching Republican economics while our economy is tanking.
BEST PROF EVER. extremely helpful, makes econ interesting, teaches more than the material, and really opens your eyes on the world. take any of his classes! pace is lucky to have him.
Please don't listen to anyone who gives professor weinstock a bad review. He is the best professor that pace university has. He is brilliant, but also a very good professor. He does address politics sometimes with his teachings (conservative), but its good because every other professor here is liberal.
Professor Weinstock is God
If you are looking to learn about economics, he's your man. VERY intellegent and has great oppinions (though very different to my own). If you have a problem he has no issues helping you during office hours but be ready to wait, everyone wants a piece of the WEINSTOCK!!!! highly recommended!
best class i had at Pace, Prof. Weinstock is very knowledgable and really cares about his students
No Comments
I highly recommend taking him, he is challenging but if you pay attention and do exactly what he says to do I don't see how you could get less than a B. I have had him for three classes now and each time I look forward to classes.To the person who wrote the comment about curssing,grow up.You must be the driest person who enjoys learning by monotony
He is a brilliant professor who knows his stuff and makes sure that you learn everything he teaches. Very funny too. Highly recommended if you want to learn macro!!
Honestly, he knows what hes talking about, but he does not practice what he preaches. He says that he uses the book for the tests but puts things on that he mentioned for a few seconds which is not fair. do the homework and he will like you, but hes rude and condescending beyond human belief.
This professor gives up his free time to do reviews on the weekend. They are not useless. He is difficult, but wants his students to do well. This class in particular is very interesting. I would recommend it to anyone. He definitely knows his stuff. He just expects us to put in our effort to do the same.
I don't know what's so great about this professor. He's very difficult and not too clear in his explanations. Since he teaches like every Eco class at Pace, you have no choice. I just wanted to give you a heads up. Knowing material and knowing how to teach it is two different things.
Despite the fact, that I have been studying obsessively for days for this exam for days (he's pretty hard), I love me some Weinstock. I went to a small liberal arts school, prior to Pace--and never found the intimacy and caring from the professors there that is offered by the "Weinstock experience". Weinstock gives up his OWN time on the weekends
I am on my senior year at Pace and got through a lot of professors. I definitely can say that Weinstock knows a lot of economics but he doesn't know how to teach! I don't understand when people say that he gives out his free time to do reviews on Sundays, if he has nothing to do during the weekend, it doesn't mean that others dont't too.
He is the worst experience i've had at Pace! He likes students to come to his office and ask him to explain economics. He grade his students based on how he treats them , so if you don't have time to show up in his office or he doesn't like you, you will be in trouble.
if you have a problem with weinstock it is very likely that you are lazy or stupid. he provide a university experience not high school. try going to his office hours and studying and his class is and A or B, nothing less. i hate people who think college is supposed to be easy!!!!!!!!pleeeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!!!
Great professor! he is funny and makes economics seem soo interesting, he actually applies it to the real world. He is really easygoing and easy to understand.He does not really give you much outside work, just pay attention to the lectures and notes given in class and you should do fine on the midterm and final.
Weinstock is awesome! I took 2 classes with him and got A's in both, and I never went to any office hours. He makes the material interesting and the classes are always packed even though there is no attendance policy. Study hard and pay attention to the details! He's definitely one of the best at Pace.
best professor at pace. very helpful has students lining up to see him during office hours. i have come to see times where 3 hours lectures with werent enough. you want to hear more from him
he makes all math seems very do-able. very skilled teacher cares also.best profo at pace.
He is THE BEST PROFESSOR AT PACE!!!!he will help you if you need help, nd gives extra credits in exams!!...defenitly the best professor!!!
Everyone wants a piece of the Weinstock! This man is amazing. I don't agree with his politics at all, but I still can't get enough of him. ECO360 is a great class--I would have like to take it during the year though, so it was longer.
The best prof that Pace has to offer. He is funny and insithful and knows how to relatate economics to business and fincance. I reccomend that you take maangerai economics when its offer. Also for all finance and econ majors take his mathematical economics as well.
He is a great professor. He makes you think by relating the class topics to real life. Definitely take him... at least for one class.
Great Teacher!! He will definitely challenge you. What i like about Weinstock is that he will actually relate the class material to the real world. He wasn't easy, but i guarantee that you won't just know the material he is teaching, you will understand it. Definitely one of the best teachers Pace has to offer.
Great professor and more importantly a real human being. If you are serious about economics I recomend him. Also I would recommend that any one who is considering pursuing a masters degree or MBA to sign up for his mathematical economics courses and to take them in sequence. Trusth me you will need it.
WEINSTOCK IS THE BEST PROF. dont listen to these other fools!! hes amazing!! you actually participate in class, his discussions relate to the real world, his tests REALLY arent that hard since he does have office hours and reviews..oh and he also gives you questions to review from the text book!
Best Teacher I have ever had. You will learn the whatever he is teaching. All his classes are full. I am going to take him for as many classes as possible. Highly recommended, especially if your motivated.
Amazing man, great professor. I understood his explanations and passed his tests. One time I was really upset when coming into class, and he asked me if I was okay and offered to talk about it. Funny guy with a big heart.
Weinstock's the man... basically, go to class... pay attention... take notes... study... and learn from the guy. If you miss classes/notes, get them as they help for this final. This was for Sports & Entertainment Economics ECO 296J
Best professor I have ever had. He will take the time to teach you if needed. Attend study reviews/class as they are the key to his tests- if you do not go, I don?t see how you can do well. Go to his office hours if you are stuck. He wants you to learn and do well. I will take him again anytime possible.
Best I've had at Pace
he is just awesome
Very interesting prof. 2 hours passed by in a flash
An excellent professor. The best that Pace or any other university has to offer. He has a complete mastery the subject matter and more importantly he has the ability to relate complex economic principles to both econ and non econ majors. I recommend this professor to anyone interesting in learning economics.
He makes learning fun and is efficient and available during his office hours. He also tells you exactly what to study for quizzes and exams.
Great teacher. Always making people laugh
Weinstock is a nice guy. He teaches the material and relates it to real-life examples. He is not around for extra help when he says he is. Textbook use is high. The major problem with him is he does not prepare the students enough for the exams and does not care if you struggle or not. He will try and convince you that econ is the only good major
unreal great man
Rushes thru content too fast leaving some people unclear and uncertain. His attendance is worst than mine. Expect a wait if you look for him at his office but he does spend time to help if you ask. Best to read text before class. Explains content with a language everyone can relate with.
I love him. I have such a great time in his class. But his classes are not easy at all.
Let me tell you he is crystal clear with all the material. He has lots of experience and gives you real life examples that relate to the material. Down to earth. He makes sure you learn economics for the rest of your life and not forget as you leave the class. Curves like crazy a 76 is a B. i think a 85 was like an A-. SEX JOKES HAHAHa
looks like peter griffin family guy
If you have an opportunity to take Micro or Marco with him you should. In this class you learn the concepts not just to memorize your text book for the next test, and he will keep you laughing the whole time. He is also really helpful, so visit his office hours and you will get a good grade.
he is the best!! but his tests are hard..u really need to study and understand the materials but u really learn a lot so u should take him if u have a chance
Game theory was my second class with weinstock. the guy is an entertaining professor who knows his stuff. topics are very difficult at times. exams are very hard. you will have to teach yourself several topics and use of the textbook is very high. the applications to real life examples are the best part of the course.
simply outstanding, have taken 3 of his courses so far, gotten an A in all of them...loves teaching, knows his material, makes class fun...cant ask for more...
What a great man! He is beyond helpful, for the final he came in on a Sunday afternoon and had a two hour study session I have never heard of any other professor doing that. His exams can be changeling at times so make sure to always read the text. I would highly recommend anyone to take Prof Weinstock if you have the opportunity to.
This guy make economics interesting,after taking this class i even considered majoring in economics. He barely gives hw and his tests are extremely easy if you pay attention in class. as long as you show up to class and give your time it'll be an easy A. This guy awesome.. even if you fail this class you'll love him.
He is the man. He is like a talking bible of Economics, genius. Take him.
He's a really funny teacher. You will never get bored in class. Just do the questions at the end of each chapter, do myeconlab, attend class and you will do good.
Gives homework but never goes over it and tests you on it. You have no idea if your right or wrong. Hates every major besides econ majors. Plays favorites. Test are difficult because he does not review the homework. If your a finance major he thinks you are dumb and cant do the work. So if ur not an econ major STAY AWAY!!!
Weinstock is such a great professor, ALWAYS ready to help with anything you need even if it has nothing to do with the class. His exams are difficult, and he does go a little fast during lectures but if you read the book and use the econ lab, you will be fine. Study hard and you will be his favorite. Definitely take him, you will learn a lot!
Best professor you will ever meet at Pace. He is worth the entire tuition you pay. Very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
He's an enthusiastic and intelligent professor. I cannot agree with everything he teaches about the economy of capitalism, but it's very important to learn from a different perspective. Do ask questions in person, he gives crystal clear explanation. Don't take him if you are secretly lazy.
I've had weinstock like 5 times and this review is no different from the others. He is worth the ridiculous Pace tuition. I wouldn't know anything if it were not for weinstock. He will challenge you and get the info across in a funny way. Always willing to help you out. Won't screw you over. Your education will not be complete without this guy!!
I had Weinstock for UNV. Oh my god, he is terribly funny and is ALWAYS willing to help you out. If you get him as a teacher for any subject, your golden.
Extremely hard tests, you need to know the info inside and out. He's pretty good teacher and interesting but I beg to differ on his political views. If you are good and learn structure this class will be a piece of cake.
very good prof, very helpful and will try to work with you. two tests and a final for the semester. as long as you pay attention to the graphs and terms and use the course software you will do good.
Prof. Weinstock is THE BEST ECO PROFESSOR ALL AROUND! he makes class very interesting and he's very clear in his examples and the way he teaches. He makes everything super duper fun...and i NEVER thought economics would be fun at all. TAKE THIS CLASS! I got a C in my first eco class with another professor, but when i took weinstock I got a B.
Clean, helpful, pleasant, but yet blunt, neglectful, and tough... this professor will tear the whatever in you and plant something new in you. You're no longer a boy, but a man. This is what a college professor should be.. Disgusting, challenging, hot, helpful, leading, and... comforting and vexing at the same time..
I think every business/economics student should be required to take at least one economics course with Weinstock. Will push you to work hard and hand in something worthwhile so not an easy class, but then again, if you're trying to take the easiest classes you probably should reconsider if college is right for you...
Terrible; he doesn't know how to teach a lecture and wastes massive amounts of time. He doesn't explain any of the tests or homework and insists on putting his offensive political opinion into every lecture.
Very passionate teacher. One of the smartest professors I've ever had. People get touchy because he speaks his mind but i think he shows great insight into the "real world". Great to see people who know what there doing.
weinstock is the man! He is extremely clear and backs up what the text book says with real life issues. He can tell when people are dozing of and will you pull you right back in usually with a funny comment or just a random yelp. he's hilarious and i recommend everyone to take at least one class with him. He really makes you think
He is amazing!!!! I recommend this professor to everyone! extremely funny and very knowledgeable in the subject! He is always there for his students, and makes sure that the class understands the material. He is very clear on what he wants and his tests are very fair! You may have had a bad day and then walk into his class and have a good laugh!
I don't see how anyone could take a class with Weinstock and regret it. His classes are enjoyable and easy enough if you give a crap and try (do the homework, study, come to class). If you're not willing to be a good student, he'll notice and your grade will show it.
Very good professor. Funny and know what he is talking about. Should attend class, but classes are not mandatory.
He's really funny and helpful during office hours
Had him for game theory this semester. Really very fascinating subject. Besides the class, he's an awesome professor. I've taken him every semester since I've been at Pace.
Weinstock is genius!! take him if ur serious and want to learn something. Skip class is your disadvantage, every class has important material, exams are fair, anyone can do well with study. He is also a very nice and helpful prof, will sit and explain what you need to know and whatever you dont understand. I have taken over 10 classes with him!
Crime, war and terrorism was a great class. I learned a lot and Weinstock made it interesting and fun. He is an awesome professor. Very helpful and he is enthusiastic about the subject.
AWESOME!! very opinionated but very funny! keeps lectures exciting and you actually learn! I would take him again in a second.
Great teacher. He makes class funny and interesting. Textbook is used often, especially online. As difficult as economics can be, he makes it easier to learn and understand. Great professor.
Great professor! Scared me a little at first but he keeps class interesting by making it funny!
Awesome professor, very helpful. He is a funny guy who is always fair. Everyone's a fan of Weinstock! Stongly recommed taking his class.
I have taken him for many class's he's awsome. Best guy in the world, has a true intrest in you and your education no matter were you come from, what you look like, smart, dumb. It does not matter. Highly recommended for all econ.
I recommend everyone take this professor. He's hilarious. And very fair grader. Class discussions are always interesting with relation to the lesson.
He really is one of my favorite teachers at Pace University. He is very understanding and keeps you interested in class.
Weinstock is an absolute genius. He provides his students with some interesting insight during his lectures that will help you understand the economy better. I regret not taking him for Micro : ( Also, this is a college class it's not high school so it is not an easy A. Study the material and actually care. Laziness will not help you whatsoever.
Hilarious and very interesting to listen to. He is very open to talking to students about the lessons or their grades. He's up front and grades fairly. I definitely recommend him!
great teacher, very interesting to listen too but don't expect to get a A unless your top 5% of your class.
Weinstock was the reason I switched my major to Economics from nutrition. His passion for the subject is inspirational and he opened up the tremendous opportunities available in banking and in business. That was back in 1998 and today I enjoyed a great career in commercial loan underwriting.
He is honestly one of the best professors that I have taken at Pace. He is very straight forward with his teaching and tells it like it is! I recommend him 100%
IF YOU NEED TO TAKE ECON TAKE THIS GUY!!!! WILL KEEP YOU INTERESTED KEEP YOU WANTING TO COME TO CLASS, HE MAKES YOU WANT TO JOIN DISCUSSION. CLASS ISNT AN EASY A BUT YOU CAN GET ONE. IM SO HAPPY I TOOK THIS CLASS WITH ME A TRUE GENIUS
Professor Weinstock is the reason I switched my major to Economics. He is truly an amazing person, and really gets you interested in the subject matter. If you must take ECO 105 or ECO 106, take Weinstock. You WILL NOT regret it. There is a lot of work load to understand the material, but he is a tremendous help.
I dont know anyone in Pace who doesnt like him. I admire the way he teaches
Love him, switched my major because of him, love college because of him.
i can't pay attention in class because i can't keep my eyes off of him ;)
Excellent teacher.
THE BEST PROF EVERRRRRR!!!!!!! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool guy. funny and sarcastic, but didn't learn a thing in his lecture. i learned way more in shostya's lab. also, i did all the myeconlab homework and reviews (as he said we should to prepare for the tests) and got a C+ on the midterm. lame. his tests are tricky in my opinion. tbh, i pretty much taught myself the course through myecon lab.
He tells it how it is. Gives us feedback in the lectures on how the world really works as opposed to just teaching the course. Definitely an eye opener. Strongly recommend. Need more professors like him who teach us how the world really works and provide us with the truth.
If you do not go to his lectures or do MyEconLab, good luck passing. He is extremely knowledgable, very interesting, and hilarious. His tests are very hard, the questions are really tricky. But he will teach you a lot, one of the best professors at Pace, need more like him.
Took all his classes, very knowledgeable and you learn A LOT, can be the best professor ever if he knows and respects you, if not forget it. Very hard exams but fair, expect a lot of writing if writing enhanced. Don’t start a discussion in his class unless you absolutely know what you are saying, if you do u get recognized if not good luck...
Amazing professor with a great ability to see potential in his students. he always has great examples in class that tie the topics in to a more relate-able context. If you participate in class that's a major bonus and it will show in your test scores. also it really helps to read the textbook before the lectures. overall great instructor
Awesome, the best professor ever, take him, won't regret it.
Hilarious and nice person.
Hes a funny guy to listen to throughout his lectures but his tests are pretty difficult and he will fail you if you don't study. He is a very smart guy, lectures are 2-3 hours long but awesome to go to, the labs suck because you have a different teacher and they don't teach you anything, just go to the lectures and your fine.
Weinstock is really cool and funny. He's a really great teacher, but it could be difficult to grasp all the concepts. As he suggests and I do too, I would use myeconlab along with the end of the chapter questions to help understand and apply all the concepts. Sometimes the textbook will just confuse you more, so just listen to the lecture.
Funny, respected, and an extremely knowledgeable economics professor. Genuinely cares about students who are willing to work. Class can be tough, but you'll learn a lot. Doesn't check attendance, but you should definitely go to every class. Textbook myeconlab is a must. Weinstock has very strong opinions though, not for everyone.
Weinstock is a great teacher, taught me so much about a subject that I knew nothing about and helped me throughout the year. His class is tough and you will have to work for your grade but it is possible to do well if you try.
Weinstock was an amazing professor, he constantly kept people entertained. You can bring your laptop, but you must email him your notes after the lecture. Tests are difficult, but studying is easy for them. You should definitely attend all the lectures if you want to do well, because one chapter is explained in each lecture. One of my better profs
This is one of the greatest professor in history. He is amazing. His lectors are superb. You will learn a lot. No homework's just quizzes and exams. I have had him for about 8 Classes. I wish I had him since freshman year, would've saved me a lot of stress. Just go to his classes, sit down take notes and get ready for an exam simple as that.
Professor Weinstock is hands down one of the best professors at Pace. He is funny and helpful. He truly cares about his students and if you actively participate you will be rewarded.
He's a smart guy, Ill give you that, but I dont think hes a great teacher. His tests are hard.
His teaching styles are confusing and if he doesn't know you, you may not get an A. He also makes his students buy an overly priced book and software, which is unreasonable and a waste of money, I would never take him again!!!
Professor Weinstock is an awesome teacher. Very knowledgeable in economics and will help you all out along the way. You do need to study very hard for his class.
Weinstock is a great guy and is very nice, but when it comes down to the lecture he likes to go off on tangents, which ultimately leaves you teaching yourself everything. Very laid back, maybe a little too laid back.
The most entertaining teacher Ive had at Pace I remember every lecture like it was yesterday! If you've previously had a hard time with Eco or you think it's boring, he really helps explain it well. Tests were per chapter, short answer, and there was a final essay. I don't know if thats the case every semester, but the key is to study the lectures.
he's a great guy, very smart but he's not a good teacher. Be prepared to read the textbook and teach yourself .
The reason I can say I will make a lot of money one day
Weinstock is a great guy. He goes off and randomly gets off topic but he always seems to get the material covered. His lectures are directly from the textbook so reading isn't mandatory. He loves his Eco majors. Great teacher all around though.
Professor Weinstock! Seriously one of the best professors here at Pace University. Cares for his students, creates great lectures that make you want to sit there for hours, one of the most hilarious professors I know. You will not get bored of this class, he will make you laugh at least once a class, guaranteed. Highly recommend.
Had him for UNV101, super funny and helpful dude. You won't feel left out because he talks to everyone and gets to know you. If I was a business major, I'd make sure to take his classes. He's not boring at all.
Prof Weinstock is alright. He appeals more to the freshmen crowd who get excited over the use of obscenities. My main complaint is that he spent minimum 30 mins lecture ranting about Obama and hybrid cars. I don't care about his opinions, I just want the part of the lecture that matters so I can leave. Tests are harder than you'd expect. Nice guy
This professor cares about his students and will always go the extra mile. So helpful in everything. Cares about your life in and out of classroom. Made me become an econ major. He's the greatest, and he's soooooo funny
This man saved my ass my first semester of college. He helped me get back on track right before finals and pass everything! He's the reason I'm now an Econ major. His lectures are long, but interesting and very funny! His tests are hard if you don't study, so be sure to do your reading! Amazing guy overall. Very easy to work with!
I've taken two classes with Weinstock and he is by far one of my favorite professor. His lectures are long, but very worth it. He explains the material and will help you if you're stuck. His tests are tough, but you have many opportunities to do well. He's down to earth, sarcastic, and funny. Put in the work, and you won't regret taking his class!!
Weinstock is one of Pace's greatest professors. He is an extremely caring prof, who constantly is making his best effort for you to learn and apply economic principles of thought. He has immense experience and knowledge of all things economics, and is always game to relate topics in class to real world current events. He's hilarious, take him ASAP.
Weinstock is definitely a smart man and a good teacher. He curses a lot and he will spend a lot of time offering his opinions, which grows old quickly. He is well worth tolerating though, you will learn a ton. He gives you all the answers you need if you actually pay attention and take notes in class. You don't really have to do anything outside.
I took his class for Money & Banking. One of the best professors I've had. Not sure about the folks who say his tests are hard-Not if you do the work and ask questions. Got an A.
He often gets off topic but it always relates back to the material. Curses a lot so it makes the time pass quickly. He explains things well but make sure to do the econ-labs or else you won't be able to answer the questions on his tests. Literally every question on his tests comes straight out of the textbook so study up.
At first he was hard to understand. He seemed vulgar and aggressive, but, through time and outside class experience he showed that he is caring and genuine. He understands that not everyone is a natural Economist but he will help you as much as he can if you show that you really want it. Show effort and he will reward you. Do MyEconlab!
Weinstock is a funny man. He knows his craft. In class, he uses his humor to engage the students for 2-hour long lecture. He always comes prepared. He is ready to give outside information that applies to the real world and believes that Economics is the end all, be all. I took him twice. He is a good teacher. Outside of class he helps a lot.
He is HORRIBLE. Total GPA killer if you don't know economics. None of what he lectures on appears on his tests. Speaking of tests, they make up your entire grade and you never know what will be on them. If you fail the tests, you fail the entire class.
Nice and funny guy but gets off topic during lectures. Tests are the only thing you're graded on and he puts random questions that seemingly have nothing to do with the topic. If you study the online stuff and do the homework you'll be fine.
He gets very off-topic in his lectures, but he genuinely cares about his students. If he sees you are putting in serious effort and are still struggling, he will work with you and help you find a solution to the problem. Very nice guy, but READ THE CHAPTERS because none of what he lectures on is on the exam. Pay attention in the lab as well!
I love this man! Came in as an International Management major and this man changed my life. Taught me everything I know and is pretty easy on the eyes as well as humorous! Definitely recommend!!!
Extremely knowledgable and funny. He might rip on your major if it isn't economics. Might get offended by some of his lectures and only like two tests.
Weinstock is a genuine and caring professor. Would definitely take him again. He has a lot of knowledge in economics. If he sees your struggling, hell work with you. His lectures are interesting, although his tests can be tricky.
Weinstock is an okay/good professor. 75% of the 2.5hr lecture is him ranting about off topic things or roasting students for not being economics majors (especially AAEM). Only like 2 tests that have nothing to do with the lectures so read up, go to class and do the homework (questions come from the textbook) and you should be good.
this man is hilarious
Love this Professor! As long as you talk to him or raise your hand once or twice, A
Definitely one of my favorite professors so far! His lectures are hilarious, and even though attendance isn't mandatory you still learn TONS by going to lectures. The exams are textbook based so as long as you understand the chapters and do MyEcon you'll be fine.
boring lectures, hard tests, bad at explaining concepts.
He's the besttttttttt!!!! SO hilarious, SO knowledgeable, SO amazing.
He's very nice works with all student and answers all questions. hes so funny sometimes it's a little uncomfortable his jokes but non the less hes very funnny. puts the content in real world applications, TEST ARE CURVED HEAVY! also in his class there is some TA's go to him for answers!!! not them they always gave me the wrong info. hes great
Will convince as many students as possible to change their major to Economics (myself included). Good speaker and knowledgable about subjects and making yourself a good job candidate. Goes off topic but is still interesting. Always willing to help students, even with matters outside of his class.
Wonderful Professor, he truly cares for his students. Midterms were hard but the final was pretty easy. He is very knowledgeable. He makes the class very easy for you and you still learn a lot, even if u dont care about Econ. I would 100% recommend him for anyone.
Very uncommunicative outside class, unless you seek him out don't expect to hear from him. Can be very funny at times. Can also be tangential. His exams are molded by his lectures, so pay attention. There will be numerous TA-ran review sessions, attend them. You don't HAVE to buy the textbook, but if you put effort in meaningful studying you will.
Awesome guy would recommend him to anyone
exactly how all the reviews describe him. humor not as rude as expected but WILL try to convince you to be an Econ major. lectures aren't very informative but exams are easy to pass and leniently graded.
This man is the worst prof I have ever had. Spews right wing information like its his job, when his job is actually to teach. I did not learn anything for him. The only reason I passed this class was because of the TAs and the lab prof.
Good choice for econ, funny and provides extra help if needed. Also is very helpful if you are considering a major or minor in econ.
This guy is so annoying, he goes off on tangents about irrelevant things to the point where u don't know what is important and what's not. he doesn't stick to the syllabus(not even the exam dates) and he's really not funny, unless your sense of humor is annoying and rude. also confusing on what's actually due on the online textbook and what isn't.
Such a funny guy, and keeps the lecture going even though its 2 hours it really doesn't feel like it compared to other classes. The exams are difficult at times, but if you go to the reviews they help sometimes too. If you ask him a question, he directly answers it. only downside is the lecture is so large, and he probably won't know who you are.
His tests are kind of hard to you will have to study for them. During lectures he always goes off topic and tries really hard to be funny. Labs prof helped me more than him and that class was 50 mins compared to his 2 hour lectures where he goes on for long tangents.
He knows a lot about economics, but his lectures are not what are on the test and he often goes on long tangents that are irrelevant. He is also very rude and opinionated. I had a large lecture section and attendance was only taken once by surprise. His tests are easy if you read the book and study my eco lab. 2 midterms and 1 final.
Professor Weinstock is a fantastic Professor. His lectures are interesting and helps the student understand the material. His exams are weighted and much of the material is from the lectures. If you attend the lectures and pay attention and go to the review sessions it is not hard to get a great grade.
A lot of people complain about his tests, but if you go to the review sessions the answers are practically given to you. He isn't afraid to voice his opinion and he's very educated with what he teaches. Economics can be difficult to understand, but if you explain the thought process during tests he's more lenient with grading. Overall a good prof!
Regardless of teaching ability, it's important to note that as a person, he is fairly polarizing. Definitely one you'll either really like or really not care for. He's very openly conservative and will say things indicative of that. Overall a fairly abrasive person. Not the right style for me, but undoubtedly a favorite of many others.
If you get distracted or bored easily dont take him. His class consists of only lectures and you will be listening to him talk for 2 hours nonstop. Hes also open about being a conservative and expressing his thoughts. Straightforward & easy grader but keep in mind your grade depends HEAVILY on 3 tests.
Weinstock is an okay professor. His lectures can drone on and tend to go off topic for long periods of time, but he does crack jokes sometimes to keep you interested. Most of his lecture are spent guessing the right answers to his questions instead of him telling us. If you don't already have a little background in economics, good luck.
Weinstock is a great professor, and hes got jokes. You're going to have to teach yourself a lot of the material but he provides you what you need. Grades are based off of 2 factors: grades from the lab, and 3 exams throughout the semester. Not a bad class and I would take again
Weinstock is a solid choice for your Economics courses. While he may go off on tangents, he relates it back to the topic at hand and gives you a good understanding of what he is teaching. He is lecture heavy, so take that into account. Also, the only large grades are 2 midterms and a final, so don't take him if that stresses you.
Yo, he's a solid teacher, in my book. He gives a good amount of HW but it's easy if you pay attention or look back in the slides. He is a funny guy and knows what he is talking about in economics, ran his own firm, and gets calls for advice all the time. How he grades is stated clearly stated in the syllabus. Easiest class I had and I get to laugh.
horrible professor. rarely showed up to class. the man also was so slow in giving instructions. he did not simply teach the subject but had many days of yourself questioning the audacity of this course. students could not ask their questions. He is not fit to be teaching.
This class is horrible. Our professor is often late to class. The lectures are very difficult to understand, as he often goes on tangents. Also, he relates a lot of his lectures to sex and made us very uncomfortable. He mostly calls on girls. His lessons make no sense but he is no help. It is currently the end of the semester and we have 0 grades.
I don't know why this professor has a high rating. His lectures are so boring & he doesn't engage with his students. All you do is sit there & listen to him talk for hours. He doesn't care for much other than teaching his lesson. Also warning: your attendance grade will be based off of the one random day he takes it out of the whole semester.
This professor is a joke. He's late to Zoom meetings, doesn't give a clear lesson plan, he makes inappropriate jokes ALL the time (talks ab sex A LOT, calls girls baby, and talks about his sex fantasies to his students). He does not say anything valuable about economics AT ALL. He goes off on long, unrelated tangents and keeps students pass time.
I have no idea why some ratings are so poor. This class is sexology and economics. He uses real world examples and compares substitutes and compliments with sex, drugs, politics, it is an interesting class and always is always down to go over more examples in a field you like. Feel free to ask questions and raise your hand!
I have taken a couple of Professor Weinstock's courses and can say he is a great lecturer, who truly cares about his students. He does the best he can to accommodate to every students' needs. I love taking his courses, and have appreciated everything I have learned from him.
The good ratings he got recently is due to the pandemic. It is a lot easier because he is the type of professor that does not care about you. Pass or fail it doesnt matter. His lectures are just him talking about life for hours. If you take his class in person good luck.
He is a great UV 101 advisor because he's really caring and he definitely has your best interests at heart.
Barely any homework. Long lectures. no clear study guides for test. test heavy class. blabs about his life, how he hates the airport, and how you shouldn't party every night
He gives a lot off work, and his lectures are fun! But when you study economics you always have to know about whatever he says. He is so accurate and helpful and he doesnt want his students to fail. He gives the best study guides and advices. I will take him for sure again!!!!
Professor Weinstock was a great professor to get me into economics. Although his lectures were long and would sometimes get sidetracked, he was very informed in his teachings and was always available for help if needed. He grades on a curve which allows you to get an idea of where you stand compared to the rest of the class.
Fairly easy class. 3 exams, graded on a curve. Professor Weinstock clearly knows what he is talking about but can get sidetracked easily. Participate and pay attention in class and you'll do fine. He holds reviews for the exams the weekend before, and will tell you what questions will be on the quiz. No surprises, easy to get an A.
Professor Weinstock is very well-educated in his field. However, once grades slowly start coming in halfway through the semester he takes the majority of the lecture time trying to convert the highest-graded students to economics majors. I felt that I learned more in the 1-hour labs than in lectures.
don't do it
He is intelligent, but, he would barely teach in his lectures and would just talk about random stuff. You would have to go to the textbook and teach yourself to pass his class. The homework is easy and straightforward and most of his tests are online, so you should pass easily. Overall, the class wasn't horrible, but he's not the best teacher.
While Weinstock is extremely knowledgeable in economics, he spends most of his lectures trying to get kids to become economics majors. After the first few weeks, I felt I was no longer learning stuff. I had to do a lot of work outside of class to learn the material and the labs connected to this course were not helpful. Would not take him again.
literally spent half of the class time trying to convert everyone into an econ/computational econ major. it got boring real quick, and his in-class examples were a bit questionable. he knows his stuff though i'll give him that. easy class if u ask questions/participate
Weinstock is knowledgeable, but his lectures can be hit-or-miss. Definitely use the textbook and unstuckstudy ai to supplement. The class isn't too difficult, just stay on top of the work.
Yaps about god knows what for 3 hours. I am currently listening to him discuss past presidential candidates and their strategies even though we have our final exam next week. Trys to convert you to be an econ major.
Do NOT take this course if you are not an auditory learner. This course is basically a 3 hour long weekly lecture, most being misses rather than hits, with no accompanying visuals to help you understand the material. Spends more time trying to convert you to an economics major than actually teaching the material on the syllabus.
Prof Weinstock is very knowledgeable and does a good job at explaining how economics is applied. This intro course is very useful. Weinstock spent a decent amount of time discussing politics and scrutinizing the Biden-Harris administration. Also pressured the class to major in economics. The lab was much better than the lecture.
Hate to admit that he did genuinely make me laugh during lectures. All midterms and finals are made directly from what is discussed in the lecture. As long as you pay attention during lectures, you shouldn't have an issue at all, even though it can sometimes feel like a long time.
Just do yourself a favor and don't take him. Literally just yaps the entire class. Would get into other topics and talk about it for 45 mins. I tried taking down notes to somewhat grasp what he was trying to say but it's all just a bunch of random topics/thing. He does say some unhinged stuff that did make me laugh tho.
So hard to follow along during lectures. Rants about random stuff. I wouldn't take him again
A great professor who clearly cares about his students. Just study and read the textbook and you'll be fine. He is really understanding and wants you to succeed, thank you!
