Great professor, kind of awkward/anal - pay attention to the reviews and the class and you'll be just fine.

Straightforward lectures and relatively easy tests if you copy down what he writes on the board. Drops the lowest test grade which is nice for that time when you want to slack. I agree... he's a bit awkward.

Class can be difficult but 2105 is good and everyone should take it. Keep up with notes and reviews and LISTEN. He tells you clear cut what he will put on the test, and don't be suprised if it's everything.

Great teacher,very intelligent. Pay attention he's a tough tester. Take good notes and you'll be fine.

I took both economics from him. He is great!!! You have to pay close attention, but he explains everything until everyone understands it. You just have to let him know.

He goes over things well, but sometimes diffucult on clarity. Do not just study his study guides differ alot from actual test!!! Test mainly from lecture hardly from the book

good teacher

This class was definitly work...HE was hard and very strick....NOt recommened unless you have no life other than school

He calls on you A LOT even if you don't want to be called on, but it does keep everybody on their toes. He is kind of a jerk, but not the point that you can't handle it. Tests are hard, but if you work hard and don't whine about the class, you'll do just fine. People just need to work harder and not compain that they have to learn something.

tough but fair

bit of a pain in the ass but overall OK - make sure that you don't miss a bunch of classes because he tests on every little thing

good class - very interesting

He is respectful, but not nice, if that makes sense. Material can be confusing, but it's not too bad, but his test are VERY hard and that's what makes this class a pain. You can't miss at all or you will be lost! He is picky about his writing asignments and honestly kind of dorky. It's not too bad, but if you don't have to take him I wouldn't!!

If you are a person that doesn't like to come to class and listen don't take this class. An A is very likely if you put the effort into the class. He is a great teacher and explains the material very well.

Mr. Ryan's class may seem difficult at first. However, you must read your notes and be prepared to go to class everyday. And please....follow his instructions.

Mr. Ryan is a very good teacher... you just need to come to class. If you come to class and pay attention, the class will be very easy.

good class - tough teacher

He was a fair instructor but challenging. Do not miss class or it will be very tough to catch up.

good teacher

Prof Ryan is a good teacher, just come to class and DO THE WRITING ASSIGNMENT. dont study his review, but study over the notes, take good notes, and he doesnt write everything down you need to know, so be keeping up with what he says, but he is a very good teacher and gives some extra credit. I am taking him again for Micro...

I was worried about this class at first but ended up loving it. Professor Ryan is an excellent teacher and I hope to take him for Macro. As long as you make an effort you will do fine.

Good teacher. You may not like him at first, but he makes you learn. You WILL get called on and he wont take I dont know for an answer! I would take him for Micro, but I dont need it.

Well, there are many words to define this man...but I will limit it to 3 words...HELPFUL (you gotta ask though.He is not a mind reader), CLEAR (his notes are the key to a good grade), and FULL OF KNOWLEDGE(despite what other students say he is full of). Want an easy "A", maybe there are some P.E. classes open this semester.

talks really fast- helpful- study web ct, don't chew gum, pay attention, attend class and study mediocre and you will make A-B

Mr. Ryan is an awesome teacher and an overall cool person. I had him for two hybrid ECON 2105 and 2106 classes and the classes were easy. Everything was online and you have participation that counts as a big portion of your grade. He will also go over any subject as much or as many times as you need it. Great teacher.

good instructor but too strict - most test info comes from notes - practice problems help alot

tough class - follow all instructions and make sure you make it ti class every day - test come from notes all the way

great professor - make it to all lectures to help your grades

mr. ryan is tha man. he doesn't put up with junk from students. don't be lazy with this class. attendance is key. don't show up, you'll fail. he's kinda OCD but i think it helps with class orderliness. do the practice problems and pay attention. you'll do fine

A True Asset to Gainesville State College!

cool dude - good class

Great teacher! I had him in class and for internet instructions. He is very strict with attendance and participation but it really helps your grade. He explains everything very clearly and makes it fun. I would definitely recommend this teacher.

Good teacher - tough but fair - answer to the last question on the final is (a)

Absolutely wonderful teacher. He can be a bit quick- so you much pay attention. this class is NOT for lazy students. VERY helpful outside of class. he will MAKE SURE you understand EVERY part of what you are confused on in his class. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!! made an A.

Yes, Michael Ryan's online Macro Economics course is a lot of work, however, is mostly graded for participation. You have to be pretty lazy not to make a passing grade in his course. Now his exam is very hard. You need to remember all formulas and calculations in order to maintain a letter grade. Overall I would definiately recommend Pro. Ryan.

Took the online verison of Econ 2105. Everything was well presented and material was very helpful in completing the course. No textbook required for online class, all material is supplied via website.

Cool Teacher, likes baseball and polo shirts. Seems like a real family man. He needs to get some sleep I think. But is a great and fun and energetic teacher with lots of cool examples.

The teacher teaches just fine but it is a hard class. He is actually a very good teacher, but if you don't get it , you don't get it. A LOT of people DON'T get it! I only studied his notes from class and walked away with a C. He gives extra credit.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Mr. Ryan, don't let this go to your head if you read it to your students.

Class is a little bit difficult because of the nature of the course but he tries to make things understandable. Also, he wont' keep the class if he is done teaching something. I had him for the hybrid course and the only bad part is having to take a midterm and final...the regular course doesn't have them.

Mr Ryan is a very good teacher. He is very helpful. If you do his practice quizzes on e-learning you will be fine in his class but study your notes too. He wants his students to learn and he keeps his classes intersting by always applying today's history. He has a great sense of humor and invites class partication.

Mr. Ryan is a great teacher! He always takes the time to make sure everyone understands what's going on, and if you don't he will explain after class. He also makes himself available to students by being in his office quite a bit. The paper was stressful, but take your time and GO TO THE WRITING LAB! Grow up and leave your phone at home!!

I took both Econ's online. Mr. Ryan is great! Information is very thorough, but do not miss assignments. I didn't buy the book; all the information needed was included in course materials online. Easy class if you put in a little effort. As far as phone issues, grow up! Your employer would be offended if you were texting in a busines meeting!

Extremely nice and helpful, but you have to do your work and it's a LOT easier if you go to class. No gum, food, or texting, but come on: it's college. Tests are kind of hard, but they're okay if you study. Look at the practice quizzes and be sure to study. He's really great though. :)

He was an awesome teacher. All you have to do is pay attention in class and do the online practice quiz's and you are sure to make an A. Only one paper that is one page long, and as long as you put effort forth and do it he'll give you a 100! He gives an opportunity for extra credit on each test. He was awesome and I would recommend him to anyone!

Good guy. Talks pretty fast, but always lets you out early. Pretty strict as other comments have stated. Pretty straight forward.

VERY good teacher. very thorough& makes sure that everyone understands the topic. he tries to incorporate examples that are easy to understand. he has online practice quizzes that are available only if you want to do them, but they really do help. he gives study guides& a make up test . TAKE HIM! im taking him for MACRO.

Really good professor. I learned a lot in his class, and had no problem understanding his lectures or tests.

had him for micro and macro. Very good teacher, but very hard. Hes very picky and strict. Gives optional online quizzes for practice nad gives study guides, but they dont really help for the test. Tests take A LOT of studying. Must go to class and take very good notes. Over all a good teacher, but must be willing to work. Had an A until the final.

Class is not the easiest but still managable! He will not always help you but the discussion boards, which are mandatory, usually do. Would take again.

I took this as an online class, so almost all of the assignments were graded on participation. except for a paper, short easy project, and the final. the final is worth too much of your grade and its not very simple, so its hard to end up with an A. He seems like a bit of a jerk when he responds to anything you ask, but in person he's really nice

I took this class online and thought it was pretty fair. I ended up with a B because i did not study very much for the final. if you actually study and know the formulas, then you can easily get an A. know everything and you're set.

For his online clas you need to complete all posts, homeworks, and practices quizzes by deadlines in order to get 100% on all of em. If you do, you have a good chance of an A or B for the class. If you don't, your dead.

Online Macro Economics class. I must advise that you do all the assignments during the semester! Do all the assignments then you will be in good shape going into the final. The final is worth 40% of your grade. The final is tough. I had a 100% grade before the final and got a 62 on the final. B in the class. (I studied 10 hours for the final)

I took the online Econ course. It was very simple and straightforward. He tells you everything that needs to be done and you can do a lot of it ahead of time. I should have studied better for the final but even with a C on the final I still made an A in the class. Just do the lessons and take notes then use the notes on the homework and quizzes.

His classes are not the easiest. I took Micro and Macro(online). He goes over material quickly and has a true passion for econ. The problem is the tests, which have tricky worded questions. The finals are difficult. Avg final is 69%, you usually need a B on it to keep an A. Take if you enjoy econ. Don't take if you're just looking for an easy A.

Advice-- be ready to GRAPH, keep up with the abbreviations, do practice problems, and study concepts you need to work on. If you can keep up, he explains things which can be hard to understand, in the easiest way possible. THIS CLASS HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. Econ is something everyone should learn about. I recommend if you're ready to STUDY!

Great professor! Expects you to study; apathy in this class will get you nowhere. If you need help, just go to his office, he is willing to help. Brillant econ teacher!

His online course is good but he is very strict on deadlines. Final exam was worth 30% of course grade. Students who picked up all of the easy participation points during the semester probably made As or Bs.

He's very straightforward with the material, and explains things in simple terms that are easy to understand. He had online homework assignments due weekly, but only participation was required. He drops a test grade, and replaces a test with your lowest grade. He also awarded extra credit simply for meeting with him. Stick with it, and you'll pass.

Gives homework based on lectures but aren't too bad. You have to get at least a 25%. Has 6 tests, including a makeup test and final. If you go to his power points lectures it's very helpful for tests. Also to go over quizzes. Has 1 writing assignment. Definitely would take again.

Professor Ryan is one of the best professors that I have ever had, he made econ so interesting and easy to understand. He has a strict attendance policy so you can only miss a total of two classes before he starts taking points off of your grade, but he is a solid choice if you want to know your stuff.

Attendance Mandatory. Super organized lectures which he uploads correlating material on line. Reviews before every test with very similar questions. Extra credit opportunities. Best teacher i've ever ever had honestly. Strict on No phones or computers in class, but thats makes taking notes better with less distractions. Easy A.

Most organized teacher I have ever had! Very straight forward. Took him for the summer online class. Just do the assignments and there would't be a reason to not make an A. If you slack off, there will be some grade damage. and make sure to study for the final!

This is just a basic standard online class, so if you want a straight-forward class, Prof Ryan is the one to take. Every week you have to complete a homework assignment, a discussion assignment, and a quiz for each chapter. There is a group project that can be a little frustrating trying to contact your partners online but the work is reasonable

Great teacher. Look at the syllabus and make sure to say up with the homework or you wont pass

Professor Ryan was one of the best professors I had my first semester of college. He gives you all the information in lectures that you will need for the test and most of the times word for word. He has a writing assignment with strict criteria but if you do all the stuff required, its an easy pass. Offers homework for each unit which are easy.

I took microeconomics from professor Ryan, and it was a great experience! His lectures were straight forward and easy to understand. His tests aren't to difficult either, just make sure you know the material.

SUPER easy class if you listen to lectures & take notes!! Had one writing assignment that was ONE PAGE, he even offers a second attempt but it is so easy. Anyone complaining has to be lazy, he gives chances every class to ask questions. Super nice guy.

I had a very pleasant experience with Professor Ryan. The lectures are interesting and teach you exactly what is on the test. Not to mention that the tests are all multiple choice. There is a decent amount of homework given, but its less than a lot of other classes. I 100% recommend you take Professor Ryan.

I was scared to take his class because of some of the feedback I saw on here. I took Prof. Ryan's microecon class and loved it. He offered zoom meetings before tests in his own free time, and was very clear with his lectures. Be respectful, and try in this class, and you will do well.

The first day of class is a little off putting and he comes off as a little harsh however, throughout the rest of the semester he is one of the most accomodating professors I've had. He wants you to pass his class and provides you with tons of resources and chances for extra credit. He made complicated subjects super easy to understand.

Mr. Ryan gives very detailed lectures and often emphasizes his points multiple times with multiple examples to make sure you understand his teaching very clearly. My only Critique is i feel like the test reviews can be mildly misleading compared to the actual exam. But the teacher goes above and beyond to help you pass his course.

At first, I didn't think I'd like Dr. Ryan due to his no-phone, no-computer policy. However, I ended up loving the guy. He's super sweet and is very accessible to his students. Just study the homeworks and do the practice problems, and you'll be fine!
