He is an awesome guy, but don't expect a good grade just because of that. Weekly quizzes are difficult but you get a partner and he helps you as well. The quizzes and practice exams prepare you pretty well for the real exams. Overall, its not the easiest class, you will have to put in some work and actually try, but getting a good grade is doable

Really funny. Unlike other professors, he uses in class activities about every other day and is less lecture heavy. Quizzes in class are open note and usually with a partner. The activities he does and practice tests are just like the exams. This guy is a boss.

I took EFN for my social studies minor. I had not taken an econ course prior to this class, which was the worst decision I have ever made. Professor Haupert does not have his material or grades uploaded through canvas at all, so you never know what grade you have in his class. He is very knowledgable on the material, but he is quite unapproachable.

Loved him as a person. Kept class fun. We had a quiz every Friday but you could use him, the class, notes, and book. Hard part was it seemed to be somewhat teaching yourself the quiz material as you went along, but just ask and he will explain any problem.

I thought Prof Haupert was a good professor overall. You have an assignment every week the goes with the lecture and a quiz every Friday that you can use him and your classmates for. He's also good at staying after class to answer any questions you have or go over tests. Just make sure you ask questions if you don't understand.

He's overall a great guy, will definitely mess with you and make you laugh. The criteria is difficult and he doesn't go super in depth, but he will help you on any quiz or assignment. Don't be surprised if he gives you a pop quiz but all quizzes are open resource. Exams are straightforward, you can't use notes or the internet so make sure you study

Professor Haupert is a nice guy but terrible professor. I didn't learn a thing. He never has things graded so you never know what your grade is. He's a hard grader and the tests are not like the practice tests. He almost makes it seem like he wants you to do bad. Do not take him unless you want to withdrawal the class, or get a D at best.

Super funny prof. Really nice and lectures were enjoyable. Although tests were harder than what some of what the lectures discussed and didn’t offer lots of study material. The study guides didn’t fit the tests great. Sometimes we talked about a concept and then there was math on the test I didn’t expect. Overall good prof, I liked him.

Would not recommend. He doesn't enter anything in canvas, he has his own grading system that he rarely updates and only makes it easier on him, and harder on the students. You will never know your exact grade throughout the entire course. Exams are very difficult, especially the online ones. Funny in lecture, that is about the only positive.

He is so so funny and very entertaining to be in class with but he isn't the best at relaying the lessons. Weekly quizzes are partner quizzes and you can always ask questions during the quiz. He's super helpful but the practice quizzes aren't always like the exams so they are a bit tricky. He grades on a curve as well (it was helpful for me)

Your grade is only made up of quizzes and exams and a few homework assignments. If you don't do well on the first quizzes or exams the chance of passing the class is slim. No clear grading system, grade breakdown isn't in the syllabus, uses his own system for grades, not Canvas. Will never know what your actual grade is. Would never take him again.

Exams are very hard to study for and pass. Expectations are not clear and your grade is based off of total points on a spreadsheet that is posted monthly to Canvas, so it's hard to know your grade during the semester. If you really put in work and attend lecture you have a better chance of passing, but a decent amount of people still had to drop.

Although exams are all online, they're still quiet hard to pass. Most questions are select all that apply and if you get one option wrong then you don't get any credit for the question (each question is roughly worth 2-4 points). There are worksheets typically 2 out of 3 classes per week and lectures don't help much with the worksheets.

He is genuinely such a sweet person, and honestly so entertaining to listen to in lecture. The problem is his grading is so confusing, you only get to see what your grade is three times a semester since he does not use canvas for grades. Also he is very confusing when you ask him to explain a concept, or why your answer was wrong.
