lazy as sin. best lectures I've ever been to (B+ at douglas).

this man is a GENIUS! Get ALL your business & investing advice from him!

Genius at work we are blessed to have access to such a teacher.

the best econ teacher i ever had.

Good professor! Brilliant guy. Read the book for the class if you want to learn. Lectures are good if you read the chapter ahead of time.

Fun class... tests/assignments not difficult, although some people just don't get it. They should probably try reading the book.

His lecutre is useful to your knowledge.. but not much related to the midterms. U have u read the book on your own if u want good mark. He is surely a brilliant prof. Not a easy class to get high mark, also half class gone after midterm 2.

An amazing proffessor with tons of knowledge. I would take him again for sure.

A good teacher.Funny class,at least not boring. The test is ok unless u don't read the book. Not easy passing,but good teacher la.

Puts together exams very whimsically. You don't know what will be on the test until you receive it.

he's funny but really strict about everything

Oh Man! The best professor I ever have. You will learn what is "real" economics after attending his class.

He is one of the most knowledgeable teachers I've had. He knows his materials very well. He also uses math to explain every phenomenon. I believe I have a decent math background, but I still find the math he uses on the difficult side.

Great prof with great knowledge, but too bad...His class is damn hard.10 assignments in total, but the midterms and final are KILLING ppl.Don't take him if you want a high mark,but you can learn a lot from him.

Very hard!!! Sounds all cool and stuff, but exams, assignments, quizzes are hard and a hard marker.

hard marker.. but lecture are useful..

he is helpful if you ask. The course if the hard part, but his written questions on the exams are hard, everything is cumulative. some class assignments are more difficult compared to the others

best econ teacher period. really knows his stuff which make his lectures really interesting. although reading the book is a must. even though after lectures it may seemt that everything is clear there's so much more covered in the tests.

he gives very interesting comments and it's fun to be in his class, but the exams are kinda hard

He is the best teacher i've ever had. I really like him. And i got B without working really hard. :)

He explain quite well and clear; however, the test and quiz are hard.

knows the material very well..

It is obvious that Mike really likes the topic he teaches, and does so with a flare that makes the three hour class go by fast. He teaches with an involved, discussion-type style. Very enjoyable.

If you attend every his class you will be fine in his exam. But some of the questions are very difficult. You also have to study the text books too.

this is the best teacher ever,i mean EVER in this world,you will love him like likcing your own toes,smell it,enjoy it,class is very cool,you will get A+ without working hard at all!

He is a good man, good teacher. His classes are interesting, you learn alot. But getting good marks can be a little hard. He does multi and written. Read his notes pay attention in class and use the "TOOLS" you'll ace the written. For multi i donno how u can do good.

Super interesting lectures that don't have much to do with the exams... If you don't feel like studying 6 hours/weeks, keep on moving along!!! He makes fun of those that complain that you have to learn from the book, but don't be a victim. If you can't learn that way, don't take that class!!!

if you are taking it to get a good mark, I definitely would not get this prof. However, if you are taking it just for information, and don't really care what you get, then get this guy. The classes are pretty interesting, but don't have much to do with the subject, muchless, on the mid-terms.

Fairly hard exams but extremely blunt and helpful. Keeps class interesting with his jokes.

He is a good teacher who manages to keep his students interested in the class, if not the subject. He does not seem to care much about Economics, so if your some one who loves the subject and realy wants to learn more, not just get marks, then avoid this professor.

Come to this class if you want to learn but it won't be easy. Leonard makes this course very interesting, the stuff we learned was great it changed the way I think about money. Funny guy, the class was enjoyable.

Good Teacher. He says it like it is, if you wat an A, it will take 6 hours a week outside of class, 4 hours for a B; I did four hours prior to the first midterm and got a B. You just have to pay attention and ask questions.

If you came to school to learn, get your butt registered in this class!

Lots of students say he is hard, but you really get what you put in with this prof. The content is tricky by nature so it is not really his fault. If you attend every class I can't see how you can't do well

harsh teacher but teaches very well, side jokes are pretty funny too :) expect to read whole text !

He is an great professor. His teachings are what made me interested in economics (my major). I NEVER read the text book, i just paid attention in class to his funny stories and read the handouts until i understood them. I got an A in his class no problem. His teaching made the rest of my economic studies much easier. Study the handouts!

He's really smart and seems to know everything about anything! So although i hate the subject, he is interesting to listen to and learn from.

He's an A+

good notes, well put together assignments and very helpful in terms of answering questions for the class

Makes you think but always answers questions and never makes you feel stupid. Fascinating stories. And what the heck...I'll say he's hot. Too bad I couldn't squeeze a few extra marks out of him for that!

a great and funny prof! take his class if u're willing to STUDY the notes and textbook! he keeps emphasizing that u need to study for at least 4 hours a week in order to get a B-... so think how much u'd hafta study to obtain an A. the midterm results for the class wasn't very pretty, btw.

He keeps class interesting with random, yet relevant stories. Read the text book and use the study guide.

Take this class if you want to learn something! Smartest prof I've had yet. If you don't want to do the work, go flip burgerz somewhere.

Stuffs learned in class is extremely helpful. The class is interesting. Exams are not easy.

This guy is, hands down, one of the best profs I've ever had. His classes were never boring--he's a funny guy, and he knows a lot. Sure, I had to spend a lot of time studying, but it wasn't anything ridiculous. Just read the book and work on the study guide and you'll be fine. This guy isn't even half the jerk some of y'all have made him to look.

Hard Exams. He knows his stuff though. If you don't want your GPA to go down, you'll be better off taking it with somebody else or not taking it at all because the course itself is hard.

Most intelligent and encouraging prof I have ever had. Made me into an economist. (wait is that good or bad)

Invest most of your time studying his notes. Makes the class very interesting with his discussions. He will help you if you ask for it and he will engage in discussions if you show interest. Do not expect to be spoon fed, come in and surf the net on your laptop and get an A. The more you put into this class that more you get out of it.

I think you guys are just being too harsh on Michael. Economics is a brutal subject to begin with. He makes class very interesting, and explains it over until we get it. I think if you are willing to study, the tests are not that difficult. I think it's very fair that Mr. Leonard gives us the short answer questions..ease off, you lazy people!!

Attend all his classes! You miss too much if you skip/miss, they're interesting anyways. If you do the work, ask questions frequently and put in the time to study; you will do fine. If you're lazy expect a poor mark.

Cool teacher. Always kept classes enjoyable. The HW is a free 15% if you go through the study plan. Midterms are made up of 60 MC (all taken directly from the online quizzes) and questions that he covers in class (take notes). A considerable amount of material covered in class isn't in the text, so show up for class.

Dope professor

unreal teacher! best prof ive had so far. The course itself is tough, but he tries to make it as interesting as possible. Tests are hard, but if you study his slides and do the online practice quizzes, you`ll do fine. give him yellow smarties and hes a happy guy..ha

The greatest teacher of all time. He explains everything so clearley. 2 exams, and hw. With the exams he gives the questions ahead of time and picks 6 off of them. YOU NEED TO ATTED CLASS AND STUDY OTHERWISE THERE IS NOT POINT! . GREATEST TEACHER OF ALL TIME TAKE TAKE TAKE !!!

Fantastic! I greatly enjoyed going to every class. The class is hard by it's content, but he makes it as straight forward and easy as one possibly can. Not sure if he's made me turn to economics yet, but I'm thinking about it now. Totally take him!

Overall good teacher. He knows what he's talking about and he knows how to put that information into the students' heads in English. He gives all of the potential exam questions beforehand and he randomly chooses a few for the exam. Recommended.

Great class!!! If you put the work in you'll do fine. If you just want to cruse through a course skip this one/

Good prof but it takes alot of work to get through with a pass. Its a hard subject to begin with so study as much as you can. He says to get a B you'll need to study 4 hours every week and its true(I got a B and it took AOT of work) . His tests are very hard and a 2.0 is considered a great mark in his class. He's a good guy but very very hard.

Great lessons and weird exams which is better than most econ profs as weird exam questions seems to be a set criteria for them. But you will get the material and he will give pity marks.

Crystal clear concepts, amazing real life examples. classes r fun. he will give you a set of questions on the first day of class and all the mid terms and finals appear from those questions. Although its a challenge to find answer to these questions but its fun. Decent marker. Recommended if you plan to put in some work in the class and at home.

Do your work and study properly and you will get a good mark. he always has interesting stories of real life situations that relate to our topic. over all a very good teacher i will be taking more classes with him if possible

he is the best,amazing concept but you have to work hard to get good marks i dint missed his classes and studied his class notes and questions he gave n got an easy A.take him if you wanna learn something

Very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Midterms and Final consist of multiple choice questions and 5~10 written questions out of the questions posted online from week 1. Make sure to go to each class with the questions as the answers are often explained during class. msn office hours were especially helpful so make sure to take advantage.

decent prof- economics is a hard subject, but he does explain in a way beginners can understand. He provides a list of sample exam question, and the exam short answers are chosen from that list. If you spend time figuring out these questions, it will be fine. but it is a very hard course and must do work to succeed.

If you want to learn economics and plan on taking future econ classes, he's the best professor for the job. If you want an easy econ prof who bends backwards for students he is the worst professor for the job. Do not buy the textbook and don't expect anywhere near an A, but expect to learn a ton about economics.

Tough class but would recommend this prof. Very approachable and willing to help. In order to do well in his class, you will need to study, do assignments and get help as needed as with any other challenging class. Definitely has a passion for teaching economics so he tries to make it as interesting as possible.

A good professor with clear grading criteria. Attend class, take notes, and put a few hours in every week and you'll do well.

Michael is a great professor and makes learning about a dry subject like economics fun. He uses relatable examples and provides copies of his slides online. You will have to work hard to get a good grade in his class but it is definitely doable.

He relates the course to the real life situations. His class PowerPoints are helpful when it comes to exams. He also gives you a list of the short answer questions that he'll ask on the midterms and finals. Attendance is not mandatory, but he discusses real life situations that could end up on the exams, so might us well show up and listen.

He's a very good teacher! Very entertaining, teaches us about real-life economics. As long as you study for the test, read his PPT slides, attend class and read the textbook, you'll be fine. The only thing is that he'll have this big group assignment where you'll have to make the group yourselves, so be careful for that.

Great instructor ! Explains the content well and lectures are very interesting. Its easy to get an A if you attend all classes as the exams are based on content covered in class. Exam questions are given from a list that he provides well ahead of time. Mutiple choice can be tricky but he is fair marker. Highly recommend him.

Grr-rrr-eat

Great Prof, his classes are the ones you want to attend because he's funny and overall chats casually. He gives you all the written exam questions which once you memorize you can ace on the exam and unlimited attempts to online quiz which you automatically can score 100% on! Just read text and notes for the m/c

If you skip class you will miss out on things that will be on the exams. Homework and short written assignments are an easy chunk of your grade. He clarifies which questions could be on the exams so that you have an opportunity to prepare for them. If you go to class and do the work, you'll get a good grade.

2 midterms one final 10 weekly small paragraphs and online short hw assignments. Easy. He gives written question that will be on test before do all of them and ask him if you dont know. READ THE TEST INSTRUCTIONS he docks marks if you dont sign or write the questions each on a seperate paper. Mc is based on the textbook.

Best prof I've ever had. Crystal clear with what's expected with assignments. I never miss his lectures because they're so entertaining and engaging. Lectures give tons of key info which is on exams. Definitely don't skip this class. If you show up, and do the assignments, you'll pass. I've taken him for 2 classes, would definitely take again.

Great prof, taken micro and macroeconomics with him. Clear grading criteria, lectures are informative and entertaining. He's always available if you take time to ask him questions. Best prof!

Michael's lectures were informative and entertaining. Follow the instructions he gives you for assignments carefully. Online assignments can be done over and over until you get 100%. I don't think previous raters paid attention in class because all of the answers to the exam questions were discussed. Show up to class, pay attention & study!

he gives written summary every week plzz dont do them he do not give grade for them worth 10%, but he give question answers before hand for mid terms and finals exam, cheking is realy good, easily one passes., free 20% quze marks we can do unlimted attems suprer easy must take him

Fairly easy. 30% of your grade is a guaranteed 100% if you do the assignment (short written) & online hw which are quizzes that you can attempt unlimited amount of times and it gives you the answers. Midterms were fairly easy. He gives you the written questions beforehand and they are exactly the same on the tests.

Michael is a pretty good prof for an econ class he is a nice guy. I found the course difficult but he did try his best to make it as simple as possible. He is a reasonable marker for exams but you need to know the material. You can do well in this course but you need to be prepared to work for it.

he is wonderful professor and helps a lot if we have any difficulty

Difficult course but very flexible.

Super flexible class. Can do assignments over and over to get the marks.
