Easy class. Just take notes and pay attention.

He teaches straight from his own notes, so the book is not needed (do not waste the money). Show up every lecture, as he gives many surprise opportunities for extra credit. Take good notes and study them before tests and you'll get an A or B, no problem.

Took him for intercession- 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Kinda a dry subject, but he attempts to make it interesting. DONT BOTHER BUYING THE BOOK!!! Attend all class session for the extra credit assignments. Easy A!

good teacher. easy class, show up to class and take good notes. kidna strict on attendance.

take notes. kinda wierd. very strict on attendance. for 10b know barrier to entry didnt answer it on the final (only test in the class) and still got a B

Easy! Take notes and you're good. Weirdest little man I've ever seen though. My bro took his class 4 years ago and hasn't stopped doing impersonations. Cool guy though.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DONT BUY THE BOOK. his exams are straight from his lectures. copy what he writes on the board and a little of what he says about it on your notes since he may not write it all on the board. easy class if you attend class to take note

organize lecture, good examples for clarification, quiz each day but it barely count in the end. midterm and final was easy if u study the notes. write notes!!!!

Class is very boring. Remember this quote " Come on up if you hear your name." Show up everyday, guarantees you a C or better. This guy is cranky, so do not do anythin to upset him. Dont talk, dont ask question, dont leave early!!

Show up everyday and you will pass the class. This guys is a serious weirdo, so dont do anything to upset the guy. He talks to himself, and is a very sarcastic guy. He reminds me of a little elf. Dont buy the book!!

Go to class and BE ON TIME, take notes, DONT TALK, and attempt every quiz at the end and every question on the final and this is a guarenteed C already. Getting the questions on the final right will determine if youll get an A/B. But hey, its good to know the lowest is a C as long as u show up.

Be there on time try all the test and do all the questions he gives you at the end of class. IF you have the wrong answer he will still give you some credit for tRying. SO JUST LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION AND YOU'LL GET A "B". I GOT A "B" FOR BOTH 17A AND 17B. "AND DON'T BUY THE BOOK."

Mr. Risso Rocks!@ His jokes are hilarious and he's so weird because he's so smart. He repeats the same thing over and over until you literally have dreams about it. He made me interested in learning more about stocks and the economy. I recommend this class to people are not lazy idiots-most of you r

he is a very easy, smart, funny, and interesting. I find him to be very entertaining and he uses real life examples to make economics understandable.

Very boring class but fairly simple. No homework whatsoever. The quiz and exams are in essay format but he gives you credit as long as you write something. I didn't even buy the book or take much note and passes the class with a B.

Risso is a really easy teacher. He can be really funny sometimes too, if you stay awake long enough past the boring parts. his jokes are hilarious and its awesome when he bashes on taxes, the government, and the yearly loan pool, and you can almost tell by the tone of his voice that its getting very personal....LOL

THe good news: Don't need to buy the book, test are soooo freakin easy, attendance is worth 1/3 of your grade, you get extra credit every class, not homework, and no assignments. THe easiest grade you'll ever get! THe bad news: the most boring class of all time!!! and its always cold in this classroom.

SOOOO easy, just go to class, copy down whatever he writes on the board and do the extra credit question he asks at beginning of the class. As long as you go to class, you get an easy A. Study night before and YYOU DONT NEED THE BOOK EVER!! i bought it and never opened it. Class is boring though..due to him.

Great teacher DONT BUY THE BOOK nice guy but don't be late to class. Basically unless you are retarted you will pass this class! And Risso is hot!!!

Class is easy as A$$. gotta show up EVERYDAY and ON TIME if you want an A because attendance is 30% of the class grade. there is no need for a book because everything he writes on the board is on his tests. make sure you dont cut either; at the end of EACH day, he gives extra credit. all answers for ec come from what he writes on the board also

I took him for 10 A last summer... and i got a C because didnt understand *beep :) i just took him again for 17 B over intercession... & finally understood him! I actually understood! Hes soo easy! and i loved the class... i learned alot about inflation...which was pretty intresting!! =D

This is my all time favorite teacher. Yeah he doesn't like it when people talk loud in the middle of a lecture. He is the smartest most reasonable teacher at EVC!! Oh and don't buy the book everything in the tests is in your notes :)

Very easy teacher. Did not learn anything though. Don't need a book for the class, everything is in the lecture and on the board. Extra credit given at the end of everyday. Very boring class and very boring lecture, all he does is whine and complain about the rich and gas. All exam questions are from the lecture and board. Easy A.

Mr. Risso is a really sweet teacher as long as you don't disrupt his lectures. If you show him respect he will do the same for you. His lectures are a little boring but I dont blame him, I blame economics. If you listen you are sure to pass. Hes a really great guy.

Man, Risso is such a character. Has a quirky sense of humor, goes off on weird tangents...he has this very glazed eye look when he's lecturing, he looks at the corner of walls or something. Don't sit in the back because it's a pain in the ass to see the board. But otherwise he's great, easy easy class, easy A.

This class is entirely lecture, with an extra credit question at the end of every class related to the subject matter. You also get extra credit for attendance. There is only a midterm and a final, & all extra credit is added onto those scores. This class can be easy IF you pay attention, take notes, STUDY for the tests, & get the extra credit.

Good guy. All you have to do is take notes and listen. Book is not needed. Make sure you pay attention and know how to BS because the quiz willk require that.

Best teacher @EVC. Econ can be extremely boring but he made it interesting. Book not require, no HW, extra credit for showing up to class. What else could you ask for? Only negative is that he will not pause for you to ask questions. Show up, pay attention, take notes and you will pass with an A/B easily. I've learned a lot from his classes.

Super EASY class. I got an A and most of the time I didnt know what he was talkin abt. On test jus wrote really long parg. and repeated what he said in lectures or jus bs it. Dont be late cuz he doesnt like it and no book needed. @ end of class extra credit everyday by answering a question on the lecture. If u want 2 learn dont take his class.

He hates late people. Class is pretty much take notes and do quiz. Interesting & Boring on some days. Extra credit ?s at the end of each day. Study ur notes like How?,What?,When?Why? & etc will help you on the quiz. This class is pretty much is an easy A without thinking that you are getting an A. Write long on the quiz ?s so u get more points.

really great professor. includes many references and examples. makes the class laugh too. just take TONS of notes and take note of what he's writing on the board. book not required at all. very smart and reasonable. don't interrupt him. show up to every class.

awesome guy! attendance is mandatory. HW is never assigned. just take lots of notes. dont ever buy the book. hes respectful to his students unless you give him a reason not to be. so hes very fair. econ.=a boring subject, but he always attempts to make it interesting & makes the class laugh often.but dont show up reallllly late! he hates it.

nice/funny guy. SMART/reasonable. he'll respect u if u respect him. but he'll call u out & get mad if u show up to class EXTRA LATE or disrupt him during his lecture in front of everyone in a quirky way. LOL!text not needed. to pass: SHOW UP (attendence is 1/3 of grade),pay attention & TAKE NOTES. class is ALL lecture: very detailed/interesting.

Easy class as long as you attend class and takes notes. He gives a quiz everyday at the end of class and attendance is a big part of your grade. Some of his lectures are interesting if you can keep yourself awake because econ is a boring subject. But overall take him if you want a good grade.

he looks like barry gibb, lead singer of the beegees, but shorter. take notes and don't buy the book. he's a knowledgeable professor. don't be late and don't miss class that much.

Looks like Danny Bonaduce

mr. risso is pretty cool. this is my second time tking him. no hw just go to class take down everything on the board & you will do awesome! he will get very mad if you interrupt him or do something that annoys him. other than that dont buy the book & be nice!

Does a fair job at keeping things interesting. No HW, and no book needed. Easy class if you pay attention and take notes. Make sure you turn your cell off though, because he will ridicule you if you have a ringtone that he thinks is ridiculous. I feel bad for the student last semester whose phone rang.. Let's just say he wont make the same mistake

wouldnt complain about this class cuz there is no hw assigned & u dont even need to buy the book.u can eeeasily chill in class & work on other assignments & get an A. risso is pretty funny sometimes. lec. can get boring tho. take down the stuff that he repeats over & over cuz it will be on the exam. simple as that. dont be tardy n a pain in the ass

Took him for ECON10A and 10B. The subject is very dry and he lectures the entire class. Goes off topic and skips around a lot. Take good notes (he writes everything on the board) and study before the test, and you should do well. He gives an extra credit question at the end of every class, so attendance is important. No homework, book not required.

This is by far the easiest class I have ever taken (yes, high school included). Risso's class everyday consists of the same routine: lecture and short answer question at the end (counts for extra credit). He is an easy grader. I admit that it is hard to stay awake + his rambling but totally worth an A+ for!

Attendance is 1/3 of your grade, theres extra credit question given at the end of class and will help boost your grade tremendously! There was a couple of "quizzes" (final) on the last 2 days of class during summer. EASY QUESTIONS! Basically what he rants and repeats during lecture. CLASS IS ALL LECTURE!!! no need to talk to the person next to u.

If you want an easy A dont be stupid.All you have to do is go to every class,sit and write down anything he writes on the board, itll be on the tests.NEVER! talk to another student during class(he will embarrass you)and try your BEST not to be late. Hes a little crazy but Im sure you can get a good grade just by going to class.

Good teacher.

His lectures may be intimidating, but if you go to every class, you'll notice that he repeats major concepts ... like everyday. Also, there is no homework! There is extra credit at the end of each class, but they aren't worth much. BUT, you should do the questions anyway--they pretty are the questions that will be on the test.

"This class is closed, there are no adds" is what he writes on the first day...HE DOES NOT TAKE WAITLIST PPL! Class is easy. St down and copy everything on the board. Tests are essay but the same as the stuff he talks in class. Easy A, no joke. BOOK NOT NEEDED

Listen to what he tells you, take notes, and whatever he repeats will be on the final exam. Don't move things around the room, close the doors or open them unless you ask him, ask him questions, or he'll get pissed or point you out. Great professor! Easy A and he makes the class very interesting :) I definitely recommend him!

Very boring but easy class. Come to class regularly to do a short quiz at the end. 2 exams with about 15-16 questions each. Copy down all from the board and memorize them. Exams are close note, close book. Not easy to get A if you don't study.

Show up to class (and on time!!!), take notes, pay attention, and you will do well in his class! I enjoyed his class. He does a great job explaining things, and even made me laugh a few times. He knows his stuff. There is no real need to purchase the book, and there is no homework to be turned in.

Hands down, one of the most underrated professors I have ever had. He is crystal clear when lecturing and he goes over the concepts daily. He believes in giving students exams based on what he teaches in class so listen to him.

His daily question that you turn in resemble the tests, but it isn't clear if you should write out everything since the thought didn't occur when he turns in the questions back. The tests need to be answered fully, even if it seems redundant. For example the answer to supply and demand stuff, you have to write out inc and dec in income for 2 lists.

Second time taking him. He's an awesome lecturer and really knows his stuff. Show up to class and you will pass. Do every assignment that he gives after class. I suggest to not be late, that's his pet peeve. Overall, would take him again. Exams are hand written format. Listen to his lecture because that's basically what will be on the test!

Professor Risso is overall a good professor. He is really smart and extremely easy. I was a little bummed because he didn't go into as much detail as I would have liked. If econ is your major, you might not learn as much from him. He seems distant at first but if you go up to him and talk to him after class you'll realize he knows a lot.

I took Econ 10A/Econ 10B Spring 2018 & I passed both w/ an A. he is all over the place when doing notes so in case you cant get everything down take PICTURES since he does erase the board & writing down his notes is CRUCIAL. He cant stand people being late & he gives extra credit for being on time & w/ the end of the day ? So attend is IMPORTANT!

One of the best professors I have had. Simple lectures, show up to class and you will do well in the class, he does not like tardiness. He has a lot of humor which makes attending class a real joy and something to look forward to. I especially liked how he connected course material with current which makes the material much easier to understand.

I just took his class, and he was a great professor. As long as you're on time every day, pay attention to his lectures, and take notes, you'll do fine. He gives a lot of examples and talks about current events, which helps relate the content to the real world. He knows a lot, and although he might seem scary, he's genuinely a really nice person.

He's a good professor. He can go off topic but still manage to teach the key points each day. Write everything on the board because they will be on the quizzes, midterm and final. Showing up to class is a must, you get extra credit points for being there. He uses those extra points on test and quizzes. to help your grade. Easy A to B Class.

Funny guy! He writes things on the board and gives lectures. Only had 3 "quizzes" in his class midterm and the final which was 2 parts. Gives extra credit questions at the end of class all the time about things he had on the board that day or weeks before. The extra credit goes towards your quizzes.

Good teacher! His tests are based on what he talks about in lectures only. I didn't buy the textbook and I passed. Just show up everyday write down everything that he puts on the white board and study that for the tests. There is no homework only three tests and after lecture questions based on your opinions that are graded as extra credit.

Honestly believe all the negative reviews are from people who skipped class. In all seriousness, if you show up every day, listen to what he says and write down what he puts on the board, you'll pass with an A. The teacher talks about econ non-stop with an occasional story here or there, but which teacher doesn't do that?

don't waste time go with this teacher 10/10 listen to him and take 3 tests that's it

Took him for econ10a too! Easy professor in my opinion. He assigns weekly homework with questions to answer using his lecture (they can be long af). I usually get an average of a B. Im guessing he's very picking on the answers to get at least an A on it. Just do your work and the exam is just like the homework. Read lectures and answer questions.

Every week u will have 1 assignment, which is 3-8 q's (turn in Friday). The "lecture" is basically 2-10 pages of a block of text. That's it. Seems like a lot of reading, but just use "Ctrl +F" to find key words from the questions. Make a Discord with classmates and help each other. Prof is really nice and understanding, funny! Love ya, King Risso!!

Econ 10A with Prof. Risso was easy and manageable! Did I learn much about economics? No. But Im not an Econ major anyways. Lecture-heavy; try to get ahead on reading ASAP. Only used textbook for 1 week out of the 6 weeks in class. 5-10 qs each week as HW. As long as you are thorough in your answers theres no reason you should get below an A.

very chill professor overall took him for Econ 010 A & B you read a lecture and some textbook pages and respond to some questions the answers are based off the lecture he gives you to read and sometimes videos/articles. Hes very helpful and gives detailed feedback!

There are long lectures that he gives every week and a total of 8 assignments including final which are all due every other week. They can be a bit long so make sure to do them asap and don't be afraid to ask for help. He's super enthusiastic and his lectures are funny. The only time I used the textbook was for defining a term.

Very easy teacher. All you need to do is listen to his lecture and write notes and then he gives a question at the end of class that you need to turn in. You can get extra credit if you write a good answer. He doesnt give any homework. There is one test for the midterm and two tests for the final and theyre all free response and no mcq.

VERY EASY but you only learn what he feels like teaching. All of the Microeconomics topics were not covered; instead, we focused on a couple of things for a very long time. You have to be in class almost every day or else you won't pass. The tests were easy. You'll probably get a good grade in this class, but you won't actually learn anything.

He's amazing! Took both 10A and 10B with him. Really chill work to do.

Mr. Risso is the best professor! His lectures are very informative and you can tell by the way he talks that he's very passionate about teaching. 10/10 recommend! Just get to class on time, take notes, and study the textbook.

Professor Risso's class is pretty chill. Just attend lectures, take notes, and use resources like unstuck ai alongside the textbook. Exams are free-response, no multiple choice. Overall, a solid class if you stay engaged.

This class is super easy. Risso is very old school, everything on paper, no canvas meaning you wont know your grade until the end. He does tend to go on tangents but his tests reflect on his lectures--if he didnt cover it then it wont be on the test. If you just need the econ credit but it isnt your major I'd say take the class.

I took him for Econ10A. Only assignment is going to class every time & answering one-three questions about his lecture at end of class. It's pretty easy, don't get the textbook you won't need it. It's important to not skip class because its the only assignment, your grade will go down. He's very very boring though, only con, talks all class...
